Do you think the smarter some people get, the dumber they get as well?

Yes, some people are "book smart," but greatly lacking in common sense.  They just don't realize that there is more to life than what's on the books, and this causes a hinderence of personal relations with other people.

Depends on the person.  I haven't heard any scientific proves which is smarter than the other.

I think there have always been idiots and there always will be. I don't know if there is a growing majority of idiots, but I guess as the world's population grows then the number of idiots grows too. But on the other hand, I strongly believe that dumb people have more kids than smart people. So I guess their percentage of the population could indeed be rising.

Yes I do.  How do I know?  Because of the way they speak and the things they speak of.\n\nBecause they can understand anything you tell them or ask them.  Who are they?  One was my own dad.  He was not an 'educated' person, but he had a very high position in a world wide business.  He invented some things that are still in use.\n\nOthers are people I have met and people I know right now.  High intelligence doesn't have anything to do with degrees or books or certificates.  It is either developed or ignored.\nBut it is always there, no matter what - or what is 'done' or not done  about it.

They're definitely not as smart as girls. They take a little longer to realize some things.

Sometimes... if they're stupid... lol no offense.

Very clever people can be off-putting, even frightening.  But I think geniuses don't have it so bad; they get to think about, sometimes even discover, things that the rest of us can't even imagine.  I know I envy them at least as much as I pity them.

hmm tuffy,\nto be honest I think I actually was smarter than my parents on  a lot of things I did a whole lot more then they think I did and never did get caught....UNTIL I got in the real world, after a few tickets and a couple of girlfriends thought I was a total JERK (which I admit I was) I learned real quick about being arrogant or otherwise. I let my kids watch a lot, but they know the REAL reality is at home,\nGood Luck and God Bless

No, but most people are so stupid you can predict what they're gonna say anyway.

On occasion someone takes over the group who is not as smart as they think he/she is.

Yes!!  I am smarter, I am happier, I have learned something new almost every day! I understand other people better. I have a better understanding of what things matter and what things are just a pain. I also have learned to not sweat the small stuff, including the little people.

No.....I think that some of us are smart, some are geniuses, but in the whole we are average. I have nothing to base this on, but looking at some of the wonders of this planet, it almost seems arrogant of us to assume that we are the only ones in this universe that are smart. The universe is vast and wide and we have yet to come close to discovering it's full areas. It's almost like owning a mansion and not getting to see all the rooms.

I guess stupid people results from stupid upbringing. And your right usually stupid people have more children.

i dont think that everyone in the south is dumber than the north, because it depends about your brain and determination. Maybe there are just more smart and determinined people in the north than the south!
