Book Smart = No Common Sense?
Has anyone else noticed that really smart people have little to no common sense? It seems like a lot of people that I meet and know that are "book smart" have no common sense. Some people are close to being balanced, but some are just completely lost in life.
oh yeah, I deal with it everyday....
I know alot of people like that also.
I agree
totally right, but i know a few people who are well rounded....guess who cant have both all the time....

I think some of them have bigger problems than no common sense...
no people skills.

Whose to say somebody isn't sitting back right now and saying the exact same shit about any of you?
Some of you people need to step the fuck off your high horses. Nobody is perfect.

troo, but someone somewhere will always talk about u and/or have a shitty opinion of u, doesn't matter if ur the pope or fucking mother theresa, guess it's just the general consensus that matters, know what i'm saying?Originally Posted by CRAMERIZKING
Two wrongs don't make a right my good man. ha.
Let us not forget the golden rule.
"Do onto others"
before they do onto u?
ha that might be the silver or bronze rule.
Streets Smarts > Books Smart at the end of day.
Only Diffrence is Books Smarts someway somehow hows more rewards... the may make 0 sense to some on what im trying to say.. ...
book smarts have their place, and common sense has its place.. ive known book smart ppl who wouldnt have been any good at what they did if they had any sense.
Oh I know I'm not perfect. I was just stating an opinion of mine that many people agree with me on.
Well thank god so many people agree with you... that changes things COMPLETELY.
Damn man, who pissed in your cereal this morning? I just stated an opinion and a few people agreed with me and then you come out saying "nobody is perfect." No where did I say someone is perfect, I just said people should be balanced and if anyone else noticed that common sense and being really smart have a correlation between each other.
I pissed in my cereal. Special k was the only thing i had around.
too bland.
ah fuck it......i'm smart enough to know i'm not the dumbest person and dumb enough to know i'm not the smartest.
nah, tasuki civic shat in his cereal this morning
^try it sometime... I recommend.
i'll have to pass, i'm on a strict no shit diet
^^^lol pretty much....(mindflash of cereal,milk and turds) ewwww..and was hungry.
^^^haha, late nite eating isn't healthy so u can thank me for making u lose ur appetite
Im afraid this matter goes wayyy beyond someone being book vs. street smart.
Cause if you think about it.. One's intelligence cant really be measured by the next man.
...And who exactly determines what is or isnt common sense?
I more or less like to refer to the book worms as "brainwashed." Since they have the knowledge but cant neccesarily apply it their daily activities or issues.
There is someone out there with the outlook to decide who is and isn't street/book smart, but who's gonna be the person to decide who that is?
