first, i dont mean smart people are nerds. I'm talking about the type that wears shirts tucked into their pants, doesn't get a hair cut, doesn't comb his hair, actually literally smells, and constantly plays weird card games.
So what's wrong with tucking shirts inside pants? That's in fact the formal way to dress. Shirts inside trousers.
Anyway, much of this "weirdness" is a consequence of being bullied, of being casted as a pariah.
Besides, who's to judge what card games are "weird?"

Do you know nothing about the world? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, I knew nothing about looking nice at your age. When I joined the navy we were required to tuck our shirts in. In the middle east we had a dress code. We HAD to wear shirts with collars. And yes shirts with collars should be tucked in. There are exceptions of course. Like back in the 80's during those miami vice days...
Ya know, I bet that behind Albert's back, some other kids are going :
"There's that odd kid with crazy mother and he's always being polite on girls. What's up with him?"
"Yeah, and the way he posts on some boards about something called "Civilization"."
"I've heard he's a fascist. What kind of person would be fascist, I ask you?"
"Look at those Tommy Hilfigers he's always wearing. What's he trying to prove?"
"He's always listening to rap music, too."
"Yeah, yeah, rap music. Remember that time when he told us he lost his leather jacket and his mother was sending him to Lebanon? I've always wondered about that, you know."
"And when he was telling everyone about his crush on Lee-Ann. I mean, Lee-Ann? I mean, I'd fuck her, of course, but havin' a relationship with him?"
"That politeness thing is creeping me out, man. Is he trying to hit on them or something? They're probably creeped out too."
"That kid's sure is weird, man. I've heard he has Asberger's."
"Yeah. Better not tell him, though, he might kick our ass. Remember that one time in locker room...?"
And now, some lyrics:
INSIGHT
Who's that kid in the back of the room?
Who's that kid in the back of the room?
He's setting all his papers on fire
He's setting all his papers on fire
Where did he get that crazy smile?
Where did he get that crazy smile?
We all think he's really weird
We all think he's really weird
(chorus)
We never talk to him
He never looks quite right
He laughs at us
We just beat him up
What he sees escapes our sight
We never see him with the girls
We never see him with the girls
He's talking to himself again
He's talking to himself again
Why doesn't he want tons of friends?
Why doesn't he want tons of friends?
Says he's bored when we hang around
Says he's bored when we hang around
(chorus)
We never talk to him
He never looks quite right
He laughs at us
We just beat him up
What he sees escapes our sight
We're all planning our careers
We're all planning our careers
We're all planning our careers
He says we're growing old...
Sixteen, on the honor roll
I wish that I was dead
Parents hate me, I got zits
And bruises 'round my head
Pressure's on to get good grades
So I can be like them
Do my homework all the time
I can't go out just then
People they ain't friends at all
They tease and suck me dry
Yell at me when I **** up
And party while I cry
I look so big on paper
I feel so ****ing small
Wanna die and you don't care
Just stride on down the hall
Suicide suicide
Read the paper, wonder why
Turn the light out, then you cry
It's your fault, you made me die
Touch me won't you touch me now
So frozen I can't love
When I was born my mama cried
And picked me up with gloves
Girls, they kick me in the eye
Want answers to the tests
When they get them they drive off
And leave me home to rest
Hold my head
Make me warm
Tell me I am loved
Give me hope
Let me cry
Make me feel
Give me touch
The window's broken bleeding screaming
Lying in the hall
I'm gone no one remembers me
A picture on the wall
"He was such a bright boy
The future in his hands:"
-Or a spineless human pinball
Shot around by your demands
Suicide suicide
Goin' to sleep and when I die
You'll look up and realize
Then look down and wipe your eyes
Then go back to your stupid lives
Aw ****

I do not have aspberger's syndrome. thats just some bull**** my mom made up. psychologists and school counselors have made it clear that I obviously do not have aspberger's. They always say I am obviously too articulate to have aspberger's.
How in the name of Satan's pet badger did your Asperger's get discussed here if your mother made it up? Does she post here?
Do I need to remind you that the reason why it was brought up is because you said you had it? Have you now changed your mind?
You're really surprising me. I'm really bothered that people like you, Imran, Connorkimbro, and David Floyd who always used to defend me now are the ones attacking me. What's up?
I may be a piece of ****. I've always thought of myself as a piece of **** and my experiences seem to have proved that but I try with all my heart to be better. I pray to God to make me worthy of a good life. yet I never understand how people who commit wrongs are capable of having good lives and being cared for by friends and family. How can nerds who don't give a **** about physical appearance and relations with others and so on possibly have good lives? I dont understand this.
thanks
There's a certain mental condition that causes this lack of understanding about other people. You get a shiny penny if you guess what it is.
Imran and BD used to defend you because it was part of a general political stance. At the same time they were accusing Ming of overt leftist bias, for Christ's sake. They're now more inclined to avoid knee-jerk reactions and judge people by their actions rather than their politics. This is a good thing, and I have a lot more respect for them even if their politics are different from my own. Unfortunately it means you're screwed, because you're basically not very nice.
I wonder if anyone ever told this kid that there is such a thing as trying too hard. My roomie in college was great guy, real nice, good looking, smart, but he was also a royal asskisser with the ladies. It impressed a few at first but after awhile they all tired of it. Most girls respect a polite man but they don't want to be coddled like little babies.
And as far as nerds.....well, we're all posting on a site which is based on a game. A computer game. If that isn't nerdy, I don't know what is.
I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies.
I AM A COMPLETE AND TOTAL NERD..I date nerds only..i hate cockey conceited men who have nothing better to talk about but how big their hard ons are and what they condition their hair with..
I TOOOOO LOVE NERDS!!!
The only reason I was gone for so long was because I hate you people!!!
