Hello I'm stealthy Joe

Hello, my name is Joe Stealthy Joe. I am well acquainted with pacman who was recently accepted into your marvelous community of gaming. I would like to be short and objective with this but I also want to tell you all a little about myself. I am an intellectual, sometimes I even have to dumb down my vocabulary to talk to people of lesser intellect than I. I love history especially the Mongol empire and the conquest of Batu Khan. Anyway I also love writing and literature. I am a great debater I am trying to keep my grades up to get into Harvard school of law. I have always been playing video games ever since i was 4 my brother taught me how to play the original “Far Cry” I loved it, I would play all the time. I still am obsessed with video games. My personal favorite series is "Elder Scrolls" I have been playing the series since “Morrowind” came out (In my opinion the best game in the series). I play all games from rp to fps. My favorites are rp games but enough idle chatter. I would much oblige if you would give me the honour of joining your community.

Welcome Joe, glad you joined the forums. I see you put you are a "master debater"

I see what you did there, kudos!

By the way, I've just come up with a perfect nickname for you: Joe the Great

ha ha that's pretty funny.

Don't listen to the blabbering blockhead! He'll make you his slave and force you to build sinister little huts in the woods (on the minecraft server)!

How about just Joe.

Spoiler:

Welcome to the forums, I'm the rather verbose thunderpants, also known as Thea_Notix or Lord Notix.

I'll give you a hint now, if you ever want to sign up to a game, don't use the THEA clan tag without brackets... Everyone will think your name is Thea.

Welcome to the Elithian Alliance, Stealthy Joe! I hope you'll have a great time here!

I am the admin of the forums, so if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me, as I'll be glad to help!

Welcome to the forums, I am Kingnecromancer, but you can call me King, Necro, Necromancer, KingNecro, Nec, Bob, Billy, Dan, Steve, Alyssa, Thomas, Ald'Rhun, or Negro.

Also, to get rid of that ugly yellow colour on your name:
I suggest joining some of the groups at the bottom page.

Just go to the bottom, and join some such as the Minecraft group (Nice Aqua Marine, I think you can guess what this one is for):

The (OK I can't do this without looking at the bottom) Viatorus Reliquia (Orange, it's the new roleplay's group, a very good one that takes place 2000 years or so after the old one):

They not only show that you want to be an active member, they also change the colour of your name to the highest group your in (From left to right, Descending). (Totally did not copy and paste this)

I'm sorry for the late reply, I'm just not used to being on a forum all day. I spend a lot of time on the computer but it is to play games on steam not on the internet.

You're apologising for replying late, but you're not really replying, you're just apologising for replying late

That is very true. ^^^^^

Well anyways does anyone else here think that society is getting less intellectual as time passes. An example is that most people now are like "We don't need intelligence we got SWAG." I mean does anyone else notice this!?

No, I'v never noticed this before. Enlighten me, Sherlock?

But seriously, I try to be in the middle by actually using logic and reasoning, but understanding others' ways of being... swaglicious.

Yes. Ask Ryiin, he knows all about it.

I love you necro

but to be very honest, I don't think that the group of individuals you are referring to is a real issue, or a threat to the intellectual society. That is, if I understand you correctly (try not to "dumb down" your vocabulary too often, maybe it's necessary for the kids on your school, but we're a quite mature forum when we're serious, and if it - can't imagine it will - happens that we don't understand a word or sentence, we've got google).

Genuinely, I think it's just an age-thing. You're referring to the kids on school who think they're "popular" (popular actually means "Liked, admired, or enjoyed by many people", which these kids most definitely are not, they're just liked by other "popular kids"). Ask your parents, or anybody older than you. These kids have always been there, maybe not using the word SWAG to describe themselves, but they definitely were there. You feel that you're one of the only intellectuals around and that nobody understands you, but that just means you've entered the wonderful world of being a conscious individual a bit earlier than others. It's called maturity. Being able to actually think as a person and form your own opinions, rather than being controlled by media (whether that medium is tv or a magazine, you name it), "popular" kids and other shenanigans.

Society is actually getting more intelligent every day, every year. Humans are inquisitive beings, and our species is evolving as we speak. The scientific elite is always growing and the time that you're being gazed at when you don't "believe" in science is quite near. So many positive things to say about us humans, but so many negative things as well. Science flies us to the moon, religion flies us into buildings. Try to find new environments with more intelligent people, in stead of limiting yourself to just one failed environment (current school systems are old fashioned) with lots of incredibly stupid people. Don't search for new milieus in just the online world, forums for example, but go out in the real world, try to find some good intelligent friends that are worth talking to.

Concluding my story: I think that people with swag are immature individuals more prone to primate-like behaviour, but not a serious threat to the average intelligence of mankind.

"What is happening to our young people? They disrespect their elders, they disobey their parents. They ignore the law. They riot in the streets inflamed with wild notions. Their morals are decaying. What is to become of them?" - A quote often credited to Socrates, although it hasn't be confirmed.

"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" - Hesiod in 8th Century BC

Truly there is always fools in society, there always has been and there all ways will be.

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Einstein

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams

I personally remain cheerful at the idea that in a couple of years time, I'll be the person choosing who to employ and let me tell you, saying "Swag" is against company policy.

"Take the quotes with a grain of salt, You can't believe most quotes you find on the Internet." - Abraham Lincoln

I see what you did there Notix.

But throughout history, people have acted, odd to say the least. In every period of history the youth have acted immature and crazy, the same as now. But being with the more primitive is really hard.
