Group #4: "Intellectuals" That Don't Know Squat

Socrates once said, "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing." Well, there are alot of people out there who fancy themselves experts in everything, but are too stupid to realize that they are kidding themselves. And they tick me off.

Everyone knows one: the know-it-all that sounds dumber with every word that comes out. They insist that children get HIV needles in their Halloween candy, or that 9/11 was planned by the US government. They are part pseudo-academic and part conspiracy theorist. They point out politically correct facts that everyone already knows. Yes, we know that women are more likely to be raped by a familiar than a stranger. We also know that not every American speaks English or can read. Why do you think this is pleasant conversation?

They lurk places like Internet message boards and YouTube, spouting their warped statistics like some kind of Bill O'Reilly, Jr. Everyone else is wrong and they're right. They come in all forms: the racist academic, the European anti-American basher, the MBA who can't explain economics; the blue-collar everyman voice; the "doctor" who can't spell tibia; the "my dad says" teen; the anti-government nut; the "lawyer" who can't define due process, the mathematician that doesn't understand math; and the new college grad that probably drank his way through physics.

You are only going to make an ass of yourself. No one will think you are Einstein if you keep quoting chain letters that were emailed to you 15 minutes ago.

Pseudo-Intellectual Jerks: stop ticking me off!!!
