Off Topic is full of pseudo-intellectual high school and undergrad college kids.

I'm always skeptical of people who claim to be intelligent....How intelligent can they really be if they have to tell people explicitly?Jocubus

If they're as smart as they are insecure: look out.

I'm going to be part of the generation that destroys the world?

AWESOME.

:lol:

Rock on!

And what about those of us who are actually intellectual?foxhound_fox

then u FAIL! muhahahahahah1 :twisted:

I do find that some people attempt to flaunt their intelligence in rather bizarre ways but I don't mind. It's only natural to want to impress.SolidSnake35

Their elitism, idealism, and sense of entitlement bothers me. It's disturbing that they are, mostly, the next generation of Americans.its_me_

are you talking about the kids like in the film "Traffic"

[QUOTE="JustPlainLucas"][QUOTE="jointed"]

[QUOTE="JustPlainLucas"]Yup. And the mods keep banning the wrong people. It's those psuedo-intellectual high school and undergrad college kids they should focus on.delol

What should they mod them for? Smartassery?

How about "moderator discretion"? That why, they just don't have to explain themselves at all.

yeah but what can you do?

I dont mind those idealistic teens its only human, every generation has had them not just in your part the world

life will cut through all there elitism & falseness slowly but surely

so long as its not pretentious which is easy to spot and is actually quite amusing

what pseudo-intellectual kids on gamespot do you speak of? what threads?

This post reeks of irony.

When you use a phrase such as pseudo intellectual, then you are just that.

wth do you mean pseudo-intellectual?inyourface_12

Pseudo is another word for false.

Better they be pseudo-intellectual than idiots. At least pseudo-intellectuals think. And thinkers can become real intellectuals, which are very valuable to societal development. But then, I imagine you're just frustrated that people aren't agreeing with your points of view and are lashing out. Don't worry. You'll get over it.pianist

You may want to offer him some ice too. I was almost burned by that.

yep, and those are the cool ones! :)Premier1101

Since intelligence is completely unrelated to modesty, they could be very intelligent. The notion that all intellectuals are quiet, humble, hermit-folk is a stereotype.

I for one am quite happy to see some genuinely smart teens, though some are. . . . . .well, they make me less-than-happy.

I'm going to college soon. . . .hopefully I can get past the "pseudo-intellectual" stage.:roll:

And what about those of us who are actually intellectual?foxhound_fox

Those that are actually intellectual don't have to state it. It shows.

[QUOTE="Kritical_Strike"]Would you prefer us to be ignorantly rebellious in a very stupid way? Because that's how a lot of other youth is today. The teens/young adults here in OT generally represent the good of today's youth if you ask me.Frexie

You really think OT represents the worst of youth today? Heck no.

Youtube is another story, but we aren't talking about Youtube are we?

Just in case OP missed it.

it's either:

warped views on politics

or

(like a previous poster said) "a girl said more than 2 words to me today" thread

take your pick, that's why I use this forum for VIDEO GAMES.

I am so sorry old chap....I will be leaving now.

Pseudo intellectuals don't necessarily become intellectuals.
