Sports:
Non-enthusiasts show a sign of intelligence.

Basketball:
Pituitary cases trying to prove who's better.

Negative Ego:
Self-importance to the harm of others
Superiority trips are the essence of competition
Needing guarantees before giving anything worthwhile

I'd go on, but every time I try to explain this, I want to peeeeuuuwk.

It is so easy to think the intelligent thing to do is give up on this world and
die. But not everyone is like that. Only the mentally challenged publicly
exhibit such negative traits.

I believe if only everyone had my education, those who couldn't grasp such would
be few. I also think of pointing a finger but then I have to point to myself.
I'll give up when I leave.
