[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love DC and have lived in the city for 31 years (honestly though, I am from MD).

I left 2x.

-Atlanta - NOPE.  Too pretentious and the people are dumb
-Charlotte - lovely, but it's a company town and full of stepford wives.

[b]I love DC b/c people are smart here.  [/b]They are not just into being skinny (Charlotte) and driving fancy cars (Atlanta).[/quote]

People in this area are definitely educated, but I wouldn’t use the “s” word[/quote]

DP.  I think you must've never lived in a place where the people are dumb. My spouse and I lived in South Carolina and would occasionally go to bar trivia.  The two of us would win against multiple teams of eight adults.  I'm not saying that bar trivia is a perfect proxy for IQ, but it's telling when many groups of adults can't come up with basic knowledge things like the name of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.  People in DC are smart.  It's a stark contrast.  [/quote]
Informed and smart are not the same things. Sure, I think more people in states (usually southern) where they don't spend money on education are more ignorant of things and that's tragic, but IQ-wise, they are probably the same. Just more wasted intellect.[/quote]

You think they don't know things because they don't spend money on schools or the schools don't teach it?  Yeah, you've never lived where there's an abundance of dumb people.  There's no mistaking it. I had to explain to a colleague (in a municipal financial management office!) that there are four quarters in a year.   [/quote]
I lived in Charleston. People there aren’t any dumber than here. [/quote]

You can't be serious.[/quote]
