Makes me feel pretty unaccomplished.

No video games? Wat

That kid is actually sending a message to everyone on FFR. He's telling us to get a life.

You know what, he makes me so frustrated. People like him make me look bad. Just because he's an unfun prick doesn't mean he has to rub it in people's faces. I hope he has a scuba diving accident.

That or I hope that he turns to drugs as a teenager and ends up being an example of the downfall of another brilliant mind. He can kiss my ass.

Someone better link him to FFR. . . turn him into an addict. xD

MrRubix · 06-10-2009, 09:32 PM

I feel sorry for kids, honestly, that go through the entire schooling system so quickly. There are a ton of social aspects you miss out on because of age.

yep

booze parties and bitches 8)

I think what he's doing is pretty cool, using his knowledge to help the world and what not, but when he says, "I'm not a genius" that just makes me mad, because I'm pretty sure that he is, in fact, a genius. I don't think ANYBODY can graduate from college at the age of 11 just by "working hard"...

Somebody prove me wrong, because that just pisses me off.

**DayMan951** · 06-10-2009, 10:14 PM

there was a 9 year old at my high school for a while once. i think he was there for about a month.

**awein999** · 06-10-2009, 10:22 PM

I liked his modesty, he said "there are 6.5 billion people in this world and each are smart in his or her own way". That's a powerful and true statement.

**Oni-Paranoia** · 06-10-2009, 10:32 PM

Games aren't supposed to help humanity, its just entertainment. Clearly this kid isn't a genius, he just has motivation and integrity.. and also a way to get into college at the age of 8.

Seriously....Someone should :]

"I feel it's a waste of time playing video games because it's not helping humanity in any way"

Right, because there's a label on the back of every videogame box that states "ONLY PLAY THIS IF YOU'RE DOING IT TO CURE CANCER"

While I think motivation is definitely a huge factor, some people are simply just born gifted. You need both to succeed though; even if you are a genius, if you don't give a damn about your education, you are just as well off as a drunk bum off in the streets.

I think his statement was not meant to be taken literally lol. He probably wants to use his time more productively.

Not that playing videogames is bad, you just need to know how to manage your time well.

If you don't like it so much, why don't you actually motivate yourself to be knowledgible and brilliant rather than rag on someone else who is? Don't use this as an excuse to say "OH THIS KID IS SMARTER THAN ME AND HE'S 11 HAHA I'M GONNA FAIL AT LIFE NOW!" because he accomplished something. I hate it when people get jealous of child prodigies and use it as an excuse to not do something. It's wasteful.

Don't complain, bender. This kid set his mind and soul to achieve a goal. Why don't you do the same instead of letting jealousy poison your mind?

**PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR** · 06-10-2009, 10:52 PM

Good for him, he graduated... Only took him about half the time it is taking me. Too bad he is missing out on some of the other aspects of life...
