Greetings, simpletons of the world! The moniker "simpleton", of course, having been granted the illustrious award of describing you. Can you diagram the previous sentence? I thought not. You, being a mere pedestrian, could not even begin to fathom such complicated things as subject, predicate, the subordinate clause, or even something as rudimentary as the syntax of a passive sentence; yet, still you persist in writing out every last one of your puerile dialogues and fantasies. The most amusing part of the debacle that you refer to as life, is that you post these insipid, stream of consciousness perversions of the English Language as if they had even a modicum of value. Yes, you are allowed to speak and write as you wish in the United States of America, but this mistake of astronomical proportions can be solely attributed to the founding fathers' inability to have anticipated the moribund path of the French Enlightenment, as it would eventually become an absolute and inalienable right for puffins, dolts, dunces, blockheads, and tomnoddys such as yourself.

Hate me yet? I would hope, beyond all hope, that you would at this point. Not because I like to be hated, but because the previous paragraph was only meant to act as a demonstration of what most people despise: the intellectual snob. Heck, even I despise its tone. I probably even made a few errors to boot.

Myself, I have a huge problem with hating any one person-but I can, and frequently do, disagree with some of the things that certain people do and say. One of my major pet peeves can be summed up with one word: "Arrogance". The preceding paragraph, if I am correct, is rather arrogant, but does not even come close to matching the level that some otherwise good and kind people attain during their lives. This is not necessarily anyone's fault, per say-rather, it just so happens that some people get a little to confident in their abilities. And, eventually, these people cannot help but to lord their talents over everyone else as if no one else in the world were worthy of even possessing an intellect.

Takeaways
  • What turns people into intellectual snobs?
  • What impact do these people have on the rest of us?
  • What is the best way to better yourself? Consider, please.

Everyone brings a personal bias into anything they speak or write.
