Why Nerds are Unpopular

[Asher]

****ing **** **** **** you are one dumb ****.

I can smell em a mile away. He's a total lefty.

Please describe the problem with someone being "lefty"

[Ben Kenobi]

Go ask asher. He seems to dispute the characterisation.

[Asher]

You called the guy a leftist artiste despite the fact that he's known as a computer programmer with a PhD in computer science.

I don't know if he's a leftist or not, and neither can you.

I laughed at you because you are a ****ing ******.

[DaShi]

That's why comedians aren't nerds. Comedy is all about manipulating a reaction from others.

There are a **** ton of comedian nerds: Steve Allen, John Hodgeman, Dennis Miller.

We're getting married in 2011. My brother's getting married this year, didn't want to rain on his parade.

Which will be your wedding song. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I realy dont care what Asher has to say - I want to hear what you have to say.

Yeah, I took exception to Bugs' characterization as well.

Hodgeman's one of my favourites, and he's definitely nerdy.

[Elok]

TL;DR;Don't Care. I'm Aspie, that's my excuse. Nuts to the rest of 'em, especially those "self-diagnosed" posers. But "nerd" is a pretty flexible term, I think.

Hodgeman's one of my favourites, and he's definitely nerdy.

He's also a humorist, not a comedian.

And before anyone asks, the difference between a humorist and a comedian is that humorists don't perform stand-up and are only appreciated by White People and/or nerds.

I guarantee you that he's a leftist just from what he writes and how he writes it.

[Ben Kenobi]

I want to hear what you have to say.

Why don't I like leftists? They preach tolerance and have zero respect for opinions contrary to their own.

[Asher]

Interesting. It appears you have a leftistdar just like I have a gaydar.

You set my gaydar off, he sets your leftistdar off.

Okay, let's say he's a leftist. Now tell me why the **** it matters in the discussion?

Why don't I like leftists? They preach tolerance and have zero respect for opinions contrary to their own.

This is just too awesome. A couple posts removed from dismissing the guy's viewpoint because you have branded him a "leftist artiste", you come back with this gem.

None of what he posts is a revelation. Not sure why you bothered.

[Asher]

I found it an interesting essay. None of what you post is ever a revelation, or even true. Yet you keep doing it.

At the very least, the article provided you another opportunity to look like a ****ing idiot and you jumped at the chance.
