Indeed. Perhaps a bit of "The Hacker Ethic" at work. [I finally, recently read Levy's book].

Hmmm... for some reason this 'unregistered visitor person guy' seems familiar... I really hope you're a computer nerd, unregistered guy, otherwise you won't make it in this world (as we know it today.) I live in a third world country, and even here you're lost without these skills. Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... ronagor</A> at: 12/4/03 10:53 am

I've been referred to as a geek before, but this would be the first time I've been called a nerd. I've heard there is a considerable difference between the two--geeks spend time on computers and persuing hobbies that are somewhat contrary to what would be considered normal by the masses. Nerds wear pocket protectors, are socially impared, and concentrate heavily on school related topics. Oh yes, I've met many a person who have mercilessly dissected this term and come up with a rather exact set of criteria that one must abide by to be considered a nerd or a geek. I've stopped arguing with them and just accept it--we're geeks. Definitely not nerds. By the way, you're welcome! And, eh, finally, I think I must go and pay hommage to our God, CJ.

Well, if you want my opinion, nerd and geek are interchangible terms. Actually, I would go do far as to say that nerdism is a sub-group of geekism. That is to say, all nerds are geeks, but not all geeks are nerds. Nerds obviously hold the properties of geeks, but a geek comes in many ways, shapes, and/or forms. I, for one, am a computer game/comic book geek. Most here are computer geeks. However, to be a computer nerd, one must transcend geekiness to involve having no life outside of the computer. So, if you look at it, the AGDs' commitments to their work have in truth made them, well, computer nerds. I believe the argument ends there.

But what becomes of a nerd that suddenly develop outgoing social tendencies? Is he no longer a nerd then? I mean if you have nerd hobbies AND friends, then what? Nerds(with social skills) are great fun at parties since they always have something on their mind rather than mainstream borish chitchat. Somewhat nerdish tendencies can be darn attractive too............ in girls. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D">

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>But what becomes of a nerd that suddenly develop outgoing social tendencies? Is he no longer a nerd then? I mean if you have nerd hobbies AND friends, then what?<hr></blockquote> Well... I honestly don't know about nerds, per se, but I know that geeks with social lives are usually called "high-functioning geeks". So maybe social nerds are "high-functioning nerds"? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"> At any rate, I'm a geek and durn proud of it.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Must.... resist... urge to... defend agnostic... beliefs.... arggggghh!!!! Ok, I'm feeling better now.<hr></blockquote> You do know that there is no contradiction in being an agnostic and believing fully that God exists, right? This message brought to you by your local geek.* * Not a nerd.

Wolfgang Abenteuer · #25 Post by **Wolfgang Abenteuer** » Tue Dec 16, 2003 1:12 pm

Actually, if you are agnostic, that means that you refuse to believe in the existance of and do not disbelieve in the existance of a god or gods without further proof of one or the other. An agnostic doesn't say, "There is no god/gods/heaven/yadda.", that would be an atheist. An agnostic would say, "I don't have sufficient proof that god exists, nor do I have sufficient proof that god does not exist, so until I have more (convincing) information I will not commit myself to believing either." If you fully believe that god exists, you are not agnostic. Secular and/or unorthodox perhaps, but not agnostic. ~Wolfgang
