In other words, what, in your judgement, qualifies you to stand in the same intellectual arena as the likes of Martin or Vicky, and others on this board whose vast, and sometimes, almost seemingly limitless knowledge, lifes experiences, grasp (and passion) of a broad spectrum of subjects, offer so much VALUED insight and inspiration to many of us on this board?

You and your (know it all?) attitude are nothing new to this forum. We have all seen it before. You really do not understand the amount of meaningful and ,often, refreshing points of view that could help better your life, if you would only listen. Listening well is the key.

While your successful classmates were, most likely, listening well in school, I strongly suspect that you already knew it all. Am I possibly correct in my observation?

Consider taking that chip off of your shoulder and you might just find that many people here will bend over backward and be more than willing, to intellectually banty with you. However, being somewhat well versed only in religious dogma, in no way, qualifies one as being of intellectual status in most circles of any credible, social standing.

I have learned that "Intellectual Honesty" is the key to being accepted here.

Have a nice day,
