Where do you think intelligence comes from? Hard work. I agree that lack of intelligence is absolutely the problem, but I think that that lack of intelligence is a direct result of the common mindset that we can sit on our butts and have life handed to us on a platter. I.e., laziness.

Why yes it is, thanks to modern technology and medical advances we have all but eliminated natural selection.

Just think of all those advancements that lets a paramedic revive some drooling moron that thought it would be a good idea to have sex with a light socket.

I use a few abbreviations (lol, wtf) when writing on a forum such as this, but I would never take it further than that.

I think that society in general is devolving. You look at how people talk, what people wear, and how they behave. It is outright indecent. I believe that if you don't look, talk, or act properly nobody's going to take you seriously. I see people walking around with their pants below their ass and think "Even if they had the skills, I wouldn't hire them for my company because they don't care enough to tie up their freaking pants." And that's the problem, people don't care anymore. You can't get locked up for most stuff anymore. If you went out looking and acting like people do now 100 years ago you would be arrested. If people don't care what they are acting/looking/talking like anymore, it's only a matter of time before they stop caring about life and die out.

I don't bother posting anything if I don't have the time to do it correctly. Even in text messaging, or on Facebook. I would be embarrassed to send someone a message full of lazy teenaged slang and shortened words. I would never want to portray myself as illiterate, and I have little respect for people who do, thanks to their sheer laziness.

Any time I see numbers and all lower case in a block of text (whether it's on a forum, facebook, etc.) I usually have to sit back and think about how badly I want to know what is being said. Being an avid reader it is just really distracting and disrupts the flow when I have to sit there and figure out what the [heck] they're saying.

I don't know if it's intelligence, my boyfriend regularly uses text speak and no punctuation in his texts (and it drives me up a friggin WALL), but he's also the best mechanic/machine head I've ever met. Other than being royally annoyed at having to decipher the crap, it doesn't affect my every day life very much. If the general population continues with it, I'll simply keep writing/speaking the way I see fit and hope they don't start having to figure out what I'm saying ;)

I just want to know if that came naturally or did you actually struggle to type like that. lol I thought about it and I would have to work really hard to type like that.

Oh lord.. Me too! I had such a hard time reading that. I couldn't type, text, or write something like that. My brain just doesn't comprehend it.

I hate when people say things like that. It really IS important to be able to speak and write correctly. The majority of the population will judge the intelligence and drive of people with bad language and writing skills.
