        Nah, but when someone is acting like a prat, I’ll give it right back to’em. I maintained a 4.0 GPA through medical school, and have read so many god damn books. Doesn’t make me smarter or better.

      right, anyone who reads books that aren’t engineering is an idiot, right?

      So what makes me stupider, my minor in mathematics, or my minor in music? because both are ‘useless’ fields.

        I didn’t say you were stupid, but YOU said

        I read multiple books per week for fun, often on top of my regular coursework. It wasn’t hard, it was just a matter of priorities. My priority was to learn.

        So because I didn’t read extra books on the side, my priority wasn’t to learn? pretty insulting.

        You are part of the problem here. Reading a 400 page novel is not that time consuming dude

        Even more insults!

        Rather than rise to the challenge of learning, you want to pretend that it’s an onerous requirement that nobody could possible attain. What, so you can party more, or dick around on the internet? Are you the type who goes to book clubs and doesn’t read the book and then thinks anyone who did is a stupid nerd?

        Yeah, your whole comment and subsequent attempts has you coming off like an arrogant prick. The books the original poster mentioned? I read those in middle school mate, so I guess that makes me even smarter than your pretentious ass. And that’s why I wrote a snotty comment.

          I used to teach. My lazy students told me I was an arrogant prick too. They usually got Cs and would leave me angry reviews about how stupid my course was and how dare I make them try hard because what is the point I was going to give them a bad grad because i didn’t like them personally.

          My students who did the readings, showed up to class, wrote good papers, to enjoy my class and usually got As.

          Weird how that works. It’s OK if you don’t like to read man, but don’t go around generalizing that your lack of drive and interest in the topic necessitates that it’s a waste of time for everyone else.

          I would guess you don’t run marathons either. Are people who run marathons wasting their time too? Or should they just take blood dope?
