i love a quote from the bible. I believe its in the first couple of verses in Matthew applies to so many people...actually everyone.

" be he is without sin cast the first stone"...oh yeah, Jesus said it.

Salmo G. you obviously did not read my quote at the bottom of the page.

"Maybe you're not as stupid as you sound, but how would anyone know?"

Someone would know if their were a little more observant, instead of doing the dreaded: ASS out of U and ME.

I guess its the studying i have done in this area but again i am ASSUMING everyone else knows this stuff. If you observe the words used and the context the words are used in , as well as observing the vocabulary of the person you are judging the intelligence of, you will find a direct correlation to a problem solving intelligence. Has to do with the side of your brain that learns the english language, reading, and problem solving. But problem solving is not just limited to learned or schooled individuals. Ive known guys that couldnt spell a lick, that could improvise and solve pretty much anything that you could throw at them. poor dude just didnt get a gooder edumacation. Smart guy though. But you will never find someone with a decent vocabulary and spelling skills without at least an average intelligence. the memory, and thought processes involved in stringing together words and the english language just cant be done without a LOT of work if it doesnt come easy. Natural ability. Much to do with the genes of your ancestors. So000OOO if you dont got the genes you still put a lot of work into learning it and therefore cant be said "idiot" But by all means, in your years on this earth i am sure you know more than i and therefore can make an intelligent statement like


"Maybe you're not as stupid as you sound, but how would anyone know?"

and feel totally good about judging someone elses intelligence.
