There are people who claim there's no intelligence without arrogance. There are also people who seem to think you're smarter the more people you consider dumb and make it known.
Well I think that's stupid!

You make it sound like it's an either-or, rather than realizing that there's a massive middle ground between being snotty and being ignorant...
...as if the two are even related? If we're going by direct opposites, it'd either be "smart vs. dumb" (which has nothing to do with how you interact with people) or "arrogant vs. humble" (which has nothing to do with intelligence).
Un-f#cking-believable.
It should be obvious that blauSamstag was being witty. You're making ME defend one of your own kind; a liberal.
You should be directing your wrath toward the likes of the dreadful Raptor, who has terrorised this forum's left for several years.

One possible association:
ASD person = more inclined for detail thinking
non-ASD person = more inclined for broad thinking
The ASD person may respond with a detail interpretation of what a broad thinker said.
The broad thinker responds, "You know what I mean. Quit being a smartass".

I do that stuff on purpose. Especially when someone uses a cuss word where it's funny in a literal sense...

Heheh yes. I had a lot of fun yesterday when my parents got back after being gone for about 2 months and we just sat around joking. I don't care how many people get upset at our humor, it's just who we are and it's great stress relief. We do *try* to be serious on some occasions... but even in grief, while crying, we crack jokes.

It'd only be witty if the words were opposed by definition instead of mere linguistics. Otherwise, it's just empty wordplay and openly subject to criticism.

You got that backward. Its precisely because the two terms are not opposites in meaning, but just sound opposite, that makes his flip comment kinda cute.
In fact...you've got it ....ASS backwards! lol!
But it does raise the serious philosophical question: can a person be BOTH a smartass, AND a dumbass at the same time?
I dunno.
But I wish I had thought of it years ago. A bully I used to work with would make make fun of things others said based upon the literal words the person said, and ignore the obvious thing being said between the lines. I wished I had thought to announce "he thinks he's being a smartass, but he is actually being a dumbass". Sumpin' like that.

You really are obsessed with 'liberals', aren't you? Do you secretly long to be one?

You'll have to try a LOT harder than that to actually 'terrorise' anyone here. 'Raptor', no one is intimidated by you. No one at all.

Liberals are obsessed with progression, conservatives are merely obsessed with hating liberals. That's why their beliefs, stances and morals haven't changed for the last couple centuries.
It's a joke, folks, settle down.

Oh, I am just SO relieved. Here all this time I was afraid y'all cried yourselves to sleep every night on account of me.
