I've been thinking about this for a while, but since all of my friends are idiots, I'll come to YOU because I have no life!

I want you to think about this. Would you rather be happy but know nothing, or know everything but have the weight of the world on your shoulder?

I think I would be ignorant but blissful. After all, I don't know better. I'm just gosh-darn happy.

EDIT: And I would like you to explain. Y'know.

I like to think I am both intelligent and happy. I know! Crazy, right? Hollywood seems to think so.

"Call no man happy unless he is dead"

Id rather know and suffer for it- knowledge is power after all.

Of course if both are possible then that would be nice too.

I like to think I'm intelligent. Can't say I'm suffering that much, but I do fall into fits of depression once in a while. Still perfectly happy with my life situation. Being a constantly optimistic fuck up with parking tickets and too bad a police record to find a job isn't something that would suit me.

Is it just me or are you a few beers down?
No, I'm bored and... Well, I'm bored, so I'm letting my more psychotic side go.
Fantastic, I tried being sane once but couldnt stand the weather.

Plus the food sucks too.

I choose Intelligent but miserable.

Why? Well, I'm used to cracking jokes. Being ignorant is going to directly affect my sense of humor. I don't want that. I'd rather be smart enough to make other people laugh (and miserable) than a quiet ignorant guy (but happy, although, I'd be alone, and technically sad, so, fuck that)

From experience ? Intelligent :D

Plus, if I ever change my mind, it's easier to go from intelligent to ignorant than the contrary.

I'd go clinically insane if I woke up and suddenly found my intelligence to be on par with those that are supposed to be "my people" and "peers" (if you wanna throw racial stereotypes into the mix, that is).

And I refuse to answer that poll. Just so you know.

I hate cats, I am the dog type, so I didn't find any appropriate answer.
Oh and while I am trying to get dumber all the time I think I fail pretty badly.

I like to know as much as I should, and simply enjoy my existence.

Sure, a human body can be saggy and blotchy but I must say that today feels quite great. It's sunny with a slight breeze and plenty of clouds. I feel good. As for my actual knowledge...meh, good enough.

Ignorant. I can always learn more things if I want to. It'd be a bit harder the other way round.

I see what you did there, hiding your indecision with fake hatred of cats. Not really funny, but whatever.

Intelligence because what is a human without it's intelligence? Nothing but a mere animal I say, no different than a dog or a cat, completely pointless to have a life without knowledge, without intelligence.

I see to know a few too many people who are ignorant, yet suffering. Not a good way to be.

I'd rather suffer then live a life of empty happiness...

what can I say? I'm cheerful like that!
