Telling someone to lose weight because her boyfriend is a moron isn't exactly brilliant advice. You may be a science geek; everyone has their strengths, but the advice this girl really needed was what to do about her boyfriend making eyes at the sister.
Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
"Why are you an atheist?"
"because I paid attention in science class."
You just proved exactly what I stated. A Master in biology means nothing OV. Go get some life wisdom and then come back and tell me your intelligent. Better still talk to girls with eating disorders and then tell me just how "intelligent" you are with your advice. How smart you are does not prove intelligence. You could have an IQ of 150 but still come out with advice that shows immaturity and inexperience in life.
This is the meaning of intelligence...
1. capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.
2. manifestation of a high mental capacity: He writes with intelligence and wit.
3. the faculty of understanding.
4. knowledge of an event, circumstance, etc., received or imparted; news; information.
5. the gathering or distribution of information, esp. secret information.
6. Government.
a. information about an enemy or a potential enemy.
b. the evaluated conclusions drawn from such information.
c. an organization or agency engaged in gathering such information: military intelligence; naval intelligence.
7. interchange of information: They have been maintaining intelligence with foreign agents for years.
8. Christian Science. a fundamental attribute of God, or infinite Mind.
9. (often initial capital letter) an intelligent being or spirit, esp. an incorporeal one, as an angel.
What needs to be said is 1. Get rid of your boyfriend who feels the need to belittle you to make himself feel better about himself and 2. never take crap from ANY guy who feels the need to make you question yourself. If you want to lose weight do it for you
Calling someone "fat" and so on has more of an effect then what many realise. Why do you think there are women out there dying from anorexia and bulimia?

This thread blows.
OV, get over yourself. I have a master's degree too, and a much more lucrative one than you. It gives me no more credibility to talk about this stuff than you.
Love <> Biology.
Wisdom and Intelligence are two different things. I have both and am doing fine. No reason for me to listen to someone like you. Have fun.
I said it once man. Seriously, STFU. You make it sound like I have been talking about that for 3 pages, I have not, I have just been calling fat people fat. Why don't you get over yourself with your "more lucrative" degree?
A lot of these have nothing to do with intelligence. It is much simpler than this. Knowing news and being up to date on world events doesn't make you more intelligent. There is so much to know that no one knows everything about everything so you may know government but I can fix a computer and a car...so what? At the end of it all:
Intelligence: Problem solving.
Wisdom : Decisions and the ability to predict consequences.
There is so many things and details that make up the workings of a human mind that you can't describe someones level of intelligence with just one thing. Someone can be street smart or just be an expert in one area. Personally, I think the best way to measure a human being is through his accomplishments and I have mine. You think you are smart and intelligent? PROVE IT.
Reasoning and logic runs Intelligence and Wisdom. You are born with logic and you can choose to expand it and grow it with practice, wisdom is on the other hand earned with experience and reasoning. I don't know where you get the idea that I have no experience... sounds like you jump to conclusions...very unwise in my opinion. Keeping up with the news and world events has nothing to do with intelligence...or anything for the matter....oh and also the TYPE of experience is extremely important when speaking of wisdom...some people are stupid all the way up to their death.
The word "Intelligence" used to describe information about an enemy in OP missions isn't used the same way when describing a person. Great intel on the enemy is information, that is all that is....intelligence is just a nickname for it.
What the hell is up with number 8 and 9? what are we just making stuff up now? Intelligence an attribute of god? I wouldn't follow that information.

"Why are you an atheist?"
"because I paid attention in science class."
I think it was a quote from Dictionary OV
[url]http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/intelligence[/url]
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
~Born to Live - Mavrik~
I knew that. what is your point? Like I said, a lot of those have nothing to do when describing a human being. Though number 8 and 9 are funny, had a great laugh. I have no reason to believe that I can't be a skeptic of even the things written on that website. Better yet, wikipedia...where people can add their own BS. Wise people ask questions and nit pick everything to death till there is no room left for doubt.

It seems when OV is put down he can not handle it. Funny that. You don't mind belittling others but when someone puts you back in your place you can't handle it. Thanks You helped prove my point

Damn! Shut the **** up, you guys! It's like, 5:30 in the morning here and this shit is what I wake up to? Quit your bickering, for ****'s sake.
Anyway, amy, just in case you ever come back, I advise you to ditch him. That "jealousy", as you call it, is the voice of reason inside your head yelling at you, hoping you'll hear.
If you had jealousy problems generally, it would be different, but you don't. It's just with this guy. The one who checks out your sister. You're right to be upset about this.
Dump the chump.
