So if you're book smart, it's impossible to be street smart? :|

Heh, yeah please come back with a legit case-control study before spouting nonsense like that.

No, but in most cases they remain little *****es. And become doctors and lawyers. Ari Gold's are few in the world.

I say that it sounds like you've been watching too many movies. Or not enough. The stereotype that smart people are like the dudes from Revenge of the Nerds is honestly one of the more silly stereotypes that has somehow still continued to exist.

I'm a senior at high school. I observe my surroundings.

I don't think so. Most of what I have noticed in extremely smart, 'nerdy' people supports my theory. I don't have accurate statistics as that would be absurd. It's a rough estimation, and is to a certain extent true. Open your eyes.

Smart people(brilliant in academics, huge SAT and near perfect GPA) cannot be of any use in the following events:

1) Getting mugged/attacked on the street. Will probably puss out and run. Or cry. (no street smarts)

2) Forced in a situation where some amount of bravery is required. For example, saving someones life.

3) Very Socially awkward MOST of the time. If they are really that smart dealing with people should be childs play.

Conclusion: Smartpeople mayhave the ability to obtain knowledge from books and the internet with ease, but cannot function if thrown out of thier confort zone.

What say?

[QUOTE="Vilot_Hero"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"] .. More guns do not win a war.. Tactics, strategy, and much more are equated in.. Perhapes you should read up on pass wars.. sSubZerOo

Just look at the number the number of troops for each side. China vastly outnumbers America.

This is probably the best assesment of how a war of this nature will go down. China will be on the defence, if such a war took place. America will bleed out china's economy, which is purely based on manufacturing for the west.

I fail to see what's so stupid, my mind's on other things right now.

I agree, she looks like a drone.

You both should send each other your pictures and take it from there.
