Anyone wanna argue the point?

Yes....but please first present an intelligible argument.

Don't you have anything better to do ? :bugeye:

do you have Billy's avatar?

your an avatar thief!!!!!!

<gasp!> and that's lower than being a nerd on the geekdom scale.

:puke:

I am not Billy...the Thought Polis are after me..

..,,so me change me name fro Bob Marley.

Why?

Anyone wanna argue the point?

Nope. I have no problem admitting I'm a nerd. I'm a laptop support tech/Active Directory OU admin where I work.
However, I don't look like the comic book character from the Simpsons or the bad guy in the WoW episode of South Park either. :D

I'm a geek who go's jogging and can use a variety of historical weapons. I can even hold an intelligent conversation with non-geeks.

:eek: not at the same time?! Right??

No, not at the same time, although I nearly gave myself heatstroke jogging around a battlefield at 32C in between fights. Fortunately I realised I was feeling a bit ill and slowed down.

You have no idea what "geek" or "nerd" is, you think it's an insult.

In much the same way as a respected journalist can refer to himself as a hack or a black guy can use the word "nigger", unless you are one you cannot comprehend what it entails.

Speaking as someone referred to (by wanna-be nerds) for six+ years as "The Alpha-Geek".

:bawl:

You hurt my feelings.

I love Magic the gathering and halo 2, and anime? does that make me a geek or nerd? If so I have been completely mislead by my peers

Nerds and geeks usually make more money generally. They also decide everyone else's fate. They are your doctors, lawyers, professors, scientists etc. The good thing is most of them are evolved and humane who use thier expertise in positive ways.

Anyone wanna argue the point?

That would entail a battle of wits...and it would not be fair for me to fight someone who is clearly unarmed.

Lmfao!

What's your favorite Anime movie? I'd have to say mine is Vampire Hunter D followed closely by Akira.
Do you remember the old skool anime series Star Blazers?

No I dont, but my favorite movies have to be Vampire hunter D, Spirited away, Nasuka and the valley of the winds, and Howls moving castle. Whats ur fav show?

Not I! :cool:

My favorite animated movies are Mulan, SpongeBob the Movie, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Grave of the Fireflies:bawl:.
I wish they would come out with a DeathNote movie.

Grave of the fireflies is good but one of the most depressing moive I have ever seen.

I don't really watch anime shows. If I had to pick I'd have to pick Robotech and Macross. I have three Macross Valkyrie fighter toys that I bought when I was stationed in Okinawa. One of them looks and transforms just like Jetfire from the Autobots. One is a fire Valkyrie.

I don't know if Macross Plus would be considered a movie or a small series but that would be my favorite show and movie. The animation is razor sharp and superbly detailed.
However, if you want insane animation detail, watch the movie Steamboy. I've seen it from beginning to end, twice, and I still don't know the whole plot because I would just get sucked into all the details.
An honorable mention for animation detail would be Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. The female vampire's castle at the end...WOW!!!

Grave of the fireflies is good but one of the most depressing moive I have ever seen.

agreed. I don't know how it did it, but it was great and sucky at the same time.

He meant Anime. Anime is Japanese animation. Mulan and Spongebob are not Anime movies.

I just watched a clip of Steamboy on youtube...needless to say i am going to either buy or rent it tonight.....it looks like something I can get down and "nerdy" with

You have a choice when you watch that movie for the first time:
Either;
1. pay attention to the plot
OR
2. pay attention to the details (things like being able to see clouds in the reflection of the train windows as it goes by, and seeing the individual tick marks on all the gauges for the steam equipment)

You won't be able to do both very well.

Ill go for plot first unless I get distracted by the neatness of it all

I'll be awaiting a review/critique from you upon viewing it.

neatness if I have to order it Itll take me a bit but if I can find it at my local anime rental store i get to see it this weekend!

/always excited about new anime

You may have seen this one. It came out in '03. But if not, I've heard that Voices of a Distant Star is pretty bad ass too. Animation is supposed to be razor sharp as well.

Since when are lawyers and doctors nerds?

Well, many of them were labeled that in high school. Since we're talking about labels people use to define smart people.

LOL. Yep, most of the jocks/preppies/bad boys that picked on the smart nerdy type, are now employees of those same nerds.

like: ghost in the shell?

but i prefer final fantasy

Ghost in the Shell. Another good Anime movie. Wicked City is pretty good too.

Final Fantasy was a computer animated movie. The plot was so/so, but the graphics were top notch.

I manage it. I had great fun watching "Hot Fuzz" and spotting everything from weapons type to buildings to which actor played whom.


I shall have to find out more about this movie though.

Why?

Because I says so!

I'm going to cut you.

Here's a pic that shows the detail I'm talking about. Note the reflection of the boy and girl on one of the shards of falling glass....:eek:

i like that picture

When Roy Fokker got killed I cried. Yes I am a geek.

Well, many of them were labeled that in high school. Since we're talking about labels people use to define smart people.

I have never seen doctors and lawyers labeled as nerds. Only as filthy capitalist pigs.

Looks like my kind of detail. I am the kind of person who works out what on earth is going in in Neon genesis evangelion.

I have never seen doctors and lawyers labeled as nerds. Only as filthy capitalist pigs.
I know a few lawyers and doctors. None of them can be described as nerds of geeks, in part because they are too deeply embedded in the prevailing culture and generally are fairly well socialised.
Obviously US high schools like to mess about with labels, and their meanings di appear to change over time.

I can even hold an intelligent conversation with non-geeks.

that's quite the skill, I am impressed

i love how usually threads started with the purpose of attacking nerds/geeks turn into massive anime or star wars discussions

lolz

Same here :)

I should clarify things...the Internet is a strange place.

The guys on here are pretty good...and I'm an old hand on forums. There is a strong element of respect....maybe more respect should be shown to a few people.

The worst thing about forums is the tendency to form cliques and this can develop into a Witch hunt.

Its not long before people want a scapegoat and out come the torches, the Witchfinder General..and its...hey I want a fiery torch and a pitchfork too!..lets go lynch some dude.

Americans always show good respect and in turn I have come to repect them..generally...obviously with exceptions

oh yeah, a lot of the other forums i go to are a completely insane congregation of disrespectful lowlifes, it's fun though

but are you saying respectful people are geeks?

Geeks and nerds are easy to distinguish. I shall first compare the two! Nerds and geeks both like video games, chess, are good at math most of the time, but neccesarily have to like math, and usually not always like science. I personally like starwars, halo, stargate sg1 and atlantis, galactica, discov channel, sci channel, lucas arts games, runescape, and reading books is another one of my hobbies. mmorpgs are my language. animes are conspicous but not worther of my independent sensual aqusition.:runaway:

"This card is played on thread resurrections".

Which is better paid?
Geek or Nerd.

Which is better paid?

Probably a nerd. I think "nerd" is usually used towards people who are "smarter than average" and "geek" I believe is having an obsession with something, such as star trek, star wars, anime, Lord of the Rings...etc. Although I think the term is interchangeable because many people who fall into one category usually fit into both. I would define myself as mosly nerdy, but I do have my geeky moments.

Just because I know how to use Visual Basic doesn't mean I'm a nerd.

Just because I cant not string complex double negative sentences together doesnt mean that I'm not a nerd.

Just because schichimenshyo has an acute ability to see a string of complex double negative sentences together doesnt mean that I'm not un-nerdy.
