Closet Slashdotters: The 'Intellectually Curious'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-call-me-a-nerd dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Slashdotters are certified geeks, but apparently there's a bunch of other people out there who are very interested in science, technology, politics and culture but they don't want to be known as geeks. A media consulting firm called OMD did a study for the company that owns Space.com and LiveScience. They conclude that 60 million Americans can be called "intellectually curious." Intellectually, I'm curious what that makes the rest of them."

    I'm sure that was meant as a joke (atleast I hope it was), but that's taking it too far.

    The Republicans have some very smart people in their party, just look at Rove. When you take away your bias towards him, he's a great political strategist. He'd have to be to get Bush elected.

    Just because you don't agree with someone's views, doesn't make them unintelligent.
