Mr. Gerard hoped to make a case for social Darwinism and eugenics, but his clumsiness in the art of rhetoric caused him to screw up what was already out-and-out a self-defeating message.

Mr. Gerard also did not sound the least objective in the making of his argument, and even though he reminded us more than once that the buffer between him and the haves-not is an animus-free zone, the tenor of his write-up suggested otherwise as he came off across as chafed and as an embittered hater of the poor and of ‘unintelligent’ people.

The questions we ought to ask Mr. Gerard are twofold:

1. Is he wealthy?

2. What makes him think that he is intelligent? -- because he seems so cocksure about it.

[...]

I must say that I wholeheartedly agree with the commenters who said OP is conceited and arrogant.

...

My bill of particulars has and will always be against those who nest themselves in this high eyrie of arrogation, holding onto the belief that they are better than everyone else.

We definitely do not need to know that you started watching CNN or BCC when you were 5 -- it doesn't in any way bolster your argument, or further its cause -- that's just hubris in its most superlative degree of comparison, and that is why I think those who said you are an egoist are not wide of the mark.

An apothegm comes to mind: “Who knows doesn't talk. Who talks doesn't know”.

Because a person had the privilege to access Newspapers at a tender age, or to be exposed to a lot of things does not necessarily bedight him-her with that stamp of intelligence.

There are many people who received the choicest education that money can buy, but yet are impoverished in imagination and critical thinking, and can only rattle off a bunch of memorized information acquired through hours of rote memorization.
These people learn in parrot-fashion, are rigid in thought, and are thoroughly enslaved by education, which is counterintuitive given that proper education is meant to liberate the mind and ought to serve as a foil for the natural intelligence of a man-woman.

The point is, getting an Ivy League education is not a ticket to intelligence -- knowledge may be guaranteed, but intelligence is not. You seem to believe expensive education makes one intelligent.

...

Another Charley horse in your argument was in your attribution of ‘expensive’ education to ‘quality’ education. You chastised ‘the Nigerian mentality’ but yet you have fallen guilty of the very thing you maligned.

...

Then you made this statement which reduced your entire argument into a pile of rubble: “No matter what, a Harvard/Oxford trained individual cannot be poor”.

I bet you are also among those who think that the streets of America are brimming with dollars.

Not only does the fatuity in your assertion makes for a good laugh, it also confirms the fact that you are insecure. But insecure about what?

...

To end this, I would say that you need to change your attitude. It's usually the unintelligent ones that think themselves to be intelligent and go about puffing their chests — the Dunning-Krueger effect.

And you nor anyone else has no right to decide what set of people should mate or not, or whether some people deserve to be married or not.

If you think you are right in sowing seeds of discrimination amongst humans like you, then the world should show no sympathy should the White Man have you chained like a common criminal and have you picking up cottons on the field, because according to them, you are a ‘worthless nigga’ and a second-class human being whose brain is too small to comprehend science or literature or astronomy.

Remember that even the slave master is a potential slave to another person more powerful than he is. So when you think yourself to be better than that innocent kid who hawks Gala in order to survive, and then come online to talk condescendingly about their poor state of living, you should also know that there are also those who consider you to be their inferior.

Okay


Sir you arent saying anything new that we haven't heard before, it is the usual talk and it is also part of the 'Nigerian mentality' you want to purge yourself of desperately.

It is in Nigeria that good/quality education is proportional with expensive schools, and do you know why? It's because we are used to categorizing ourselves into groups that differentiates us from one another so we can feel superior in some way:

If it isn't I live in the south and you are a Northerner, it is I live in Lagos and you live in Akwa Ibom. Even inside Lagos, it is I live on the island and you live on the mainland.
If it isn't I attend a private university and you attend a public university, it is I work for ExxonMobil and you are a civil servant. Etc.

About education, yes good education can be expensive but it's not ONLY expensive education that is good education.
Go take a look at the list of 10 most expensive universities in the world and compare that with the list of 10 best (research and educational quality) schools in the world, then count how many you see on both lists.



Someone who you say hasn't eaten properly can afford to have a vasectomy of course. SMH

And no, i do not support people procreating without the required finances to cater to multiple children. What I am telling you is that you do not have the right to tell them to stop if they're not begging you to help train these kids.

I saw a place where you said you didn't offer assistance to someone or some family because they gave birth to children they can't cater for, well sir you are not the only one capable of rendering assistance to less privileged people. YOU DON'T WANT TO, OTHER PEOPLE WILL.



Please stop, you are not conversing like a person who claims to be well educated.apologies, no offence intended.

You said good books are expensive, i said you can find that book you mentioned on the internet for FREE. You can also find millions of good books on the internet for free, and this kills your opinion.
Whether it was put there by pirates or the authors themselves is not the issue.
It's the same Nigerian mentality which equates 'expensive' to 'being better', that makes you say that.

Your thread may be noble in intent, but that's where it ends. You've not shown that you really understand what you're saying neither have you made cogent fail-proof submissions to back your opinions.
All you've done is tell us you have quality education and how this means you now have the solution to overpopulation as well as poverty. (and I have a feeling that this quality education you've been touting to have isn't even from Stanford, Cambridge, or MIT)

davtosh:
May be u are right may be not, if a woman could be as hot as going as far as spitting on her husband no matter what.

See my brother, you didn't come second because you are not handsome or intelligent or cos you bash ladies here...as a matter of fact, you beat fynestoi in everything...fynestboi came first because of two things...

What do you mean by he beats fynestboi in everything

1. All his campaign teams where of one mind and there was no segregation amongst them

2. He's a mod...it's closed to being impossible for a mod to contest and not win..

Drop the current crop of your campaign team and pick new ones, come back next year and contest, i swear nobody will match your tail...

The problem of some contestants have been their campaign team, but they never know this...take this advice from me bro.

Note, i voted for nobody for reasons best known to me but i think your efforts were worthy of rewarding.

Guy go and sit down somewhere. Who your vote epp

senibo1:
you nailed it, she has done nothing to me, but I don't want that domilo to keep tagging my name to refiners name.


I campaigned for her doesn't mean I like her personality, while I was campaigning for her, I saw her as hug threat to everything I stand to represent, I blocked her from my whatsapp list, exit myself from her campaign group. yeah did that.


I'm angry cause she disappointed those that fought for her, those that sacrificed their sleep time lecture launch everything for her while she was busy at work.


you don't know how I feel about this girl, heaven know my thought about you refiner.... might be thought of good anyway

KINGinVAHALA:
Trust me bro, you aren't a good detective, try harder next time.

Please don't quote or mention me if all what you do is to wrongly judge monikers.

fairygodgodess:

fairygodgodess:

KINGinVAHALA
 I will never do that because even though I don't or hardly converse with the contestant who was impersonated, iamkingzlee, I got close online and offline friends supporting him and that translate to him also been my friend.

fairygodgodess
p.s, it's just a thought due to what I've seen and heard, nobody should accuse me of been the girl in this context...Thanks.

RasheedUmar:
My questions for the contestants (you may decide not to answer me at your own expense though. ).

1) Since you're still an undergraduate and a jobless citizen for now, what would you do if you impregnate a girl?

2) What's your take on the Nigerian law against homosexuality? I mean, is the 14 years imprisonment ok? Should there be additional punishment for them or should they rather be pardoned and allowed to walk freely?

I'm waiting!

zicoraads:
Just kill me now

RasheedUmar:
This must be Maxi112, and dumbest member of the house of Monaco.

RasheedUmar:
Who's this one?

RasheedUmar:
Ewww! Finally, our King With Banana has been booted out of the dreaded Monaco group!
RIP, bro. May Valhala accept your soul.
