How smart are you relative to other CFCers?

Lotsa words. No actual thought.
Perhaps if their project "contains certain contradictions," this might imply that it's wrong. Maybe? My project does not have any contradictions. Freedom is right. Slavery is wrong. Period. And those who advocate slavery are evil. Yes, I know that this is simple. Truth normally is.

I have you pegged for one of those statists using public roads.

More bad jokes. They still ain't funny.
Of course I use public roads. I have no choice. Do you get it?
I bet that often when you use them, you have the choice not to.

I don't agree. I have nerdy friends that think they are smarter than everyone else and don't mind thinking that they aren't particularly attractive. I also have friends that are more invested in a self-image of physical attractiveness, while not caring if people don't see them as very smart.

More dumbassery. I'm looking out my window right now. And there it is. The road beside my house. Run by state thieves for the purpose of state theft.
Tell me, where is the alternative? AFAIK, the scumbags control my backdrive too.
Have you made an offer to buy the road?
It may well come down to security; we don't mind being mocked about things if we're confident that actually, all of the banter belies the fact that we're pretty good in reality. In cases such as being obnoxious, it can even become a source of pride that we are 'plain-speaking' and 'don't mince words' (I know I'm guilty of that one myself). It's harder to be so sure that you actually do measure up intellectually, and so we're less inclined to be good-humoured about it.

I'd guess that there are less than 1000 dull bad jokes combining lightbulbs, knock knocks and Englishmen, Irishmen, Americans walking in to bars in total in the world wide history of gags.
So it is unlikely that JR has produced 30,800 on such a limited topic.

"Freedom" defined purely in negative terms, as the absence of active oppression rather than the concrete potential to act, is, put blunty, a big load of bollocks. Left liberals and social democrats understand this, which is why they, in the generally sincere pursuit of generalised freedom, are willing to accept certain oppressions if they believe that they will produce greater positive freedoms. I don't agree with them on this, but I understand that the logic amounts to something more than "slavery, woo". You, on the other hand, seem to believe that we can knock over the state and then we will have Total Freedom Forever, as if the only limit to people's positive freedoms was taxes, or, for that matter, if the only limit to people's negative freedoms was the state. It's painfully obvious to even the most politically informed that neither of these are the case are the case, so while the lefties come out of this exchange looking compromised and a tad greasy, you come out of it looking like a child.

How do we define CFCers?
Does it only include those who regularly post or everyone who has ever made an account? I am not impressed by the demonstrated intelligence of most new members, but in general the more intelligent ones stick around longer. There are of course exceptions.
What about spam-bots? I am sure that including the stupid pieces of software that occasionally post nonsensical advertisements before being banned would boost the rankings of almost all of us.

I'm dumber than a sack of bent hammers, I feel my overall intelligence has been lowering over the past couple of years and I'm not really sure why.

I voted below average intelligence Whenever i compare my posts with a peer on these forums, most of the time they are better written, more compelling and less trolling then mine. Maybe on a few occassions i'm able to match them 
Anyway i'm surprised so many choose the highest option. In my experiance in discussions of intelligence or ability everybody always says they are "i'm a bit above average!". Of course that is impossible..

Well, the bottom 10% has shaken itself out, the rest are still a bit ridiculous

If you took 10 people at random from this thread and asked them, at least 4 of them would say they were the smartest of the 10. Then they'd argue amongst themselves for several days back and forth, while the other 6 got some fresh air and enjoyed the olympics. Who's really the smartest?

Anyway, while being one of the smartest 'round these here parts is commendable, it's certainly fun to not be. You guys are very entertaining.
