    i was raised a computer geek....and i love it

    just yesterday me and a friend were fixen up my other friends computer and we laughed cause he had about 8 gigs in his recycle bin and compressing his hard drive was gonna take 2 weeks.......and him and a different friend (there were four of us) started to laugh cause we understood something they didnt...basicly they were ignorant to wat we where talking about so they just laughed at us

    BUT KNOLEDGE IS POWER so they can laugh all they want....in the end they will be the ones working for me


    Ne thoughts or comments?

    If your asking why then I suggest that you re-read your previous statement cause it infact comes of snobbish.

    Other than that I do like knowing stuff that others don't but I don't laugh about it infront of the "ignorant" about the subject. I just keep it to myself. Knowlegde is power which is why it should be shared so one can't become all powerful ;)

    i don't think its snobbish to laugh at those who know less than you , its being elitest. What is curious is why you posted it on the internet?

    It's snobbish and elitist. He posted it on the internet because he thinks we're all elitist about the fact that people on here tend to know slightly more about PCs than Joe Average and thought we might also laugh at his 'n00b' mates. Sadly...no.

    However, dont be too hard on the lad. "sickskater6911" is only 14...

    he'll realize what he sounded like one of these days...but something leads me to believe that clearing a recycle bin isn't as computer geek as he may think :eyebrow:

    Hey come on man please don't start about the "oh come on d00d he's only 12 year old" thing...

    It's like being "ageist" if there is some word.

    Since this tread lost its true purpose with the second post i dont feel bad about going way off topic. It just hit me that the title techincally doesn't make any sense. His friends were perfectly happy when they were ignorant, but they when he laughed at them they were no longer ignorant of their fault and concequently no longer blissful.

    a pointless post? probably, but it's 4:37 am and all of my posts at 4:37 am are pointless :wallbash:
