Sorry, different upbringings, different experiences, different thought processes, I guess. But let's not get into whose life is wrong and who's is right.

It doesn't work that way. The internet is a melting pot, not a soapbox. The exposure to new ideas is supposed to be a learning experience.

we are fam-i-ly!

I think it all more comes down to what is more pronounced in your brainz: your creative side or your practical side.

There's also linear thinking versus associative thinking. Too linear and you're autistic, too associative and you're schizophrenic.

My thoughts, exactly. Again: that is why I made this thread, to see what everyone thought. Can I have my opinion back? The initial exchange with pierce was very light hearted, if it wasn't apparent.

You can have any opinion you want, that's the beauty of it. Even better, you get feedback! If people disagree with you, you get the satisfaction of defending your ideas. If you fail to defend your ideas, because the argument of your opponent is stronger than your own, this is actually the best thing that can happen, because that's how you learn. Conversely, when met with opposition, if your reponse is to whine about it, what do you learn?

Definitley possible to have both. One of the most attractive things about bf is that he has a complete set of street smarts and book smarts. He'll go from teasing me about not knowing any slang words for well, anything...and then give me a history lesson on WW2.

So everybody's equal, smart-wise, just with different areas of specialization? Point me to the bedsmart aisle, please.

Very false stereotype.
I grew-up poor, self-educated since my schools were crap (took a lot of shit for it too) then went to college, working my way through as a bouncer in a grungy club.
I feel that I am fairly well read and my street credibility is still in tact and have known others very much like myself.
The idea that one must be deficient somewhere to make-up for a talent is ludicrous in my opinion.
