Solve the Debate

D.R cowboy

One of guys was chatting about trinity the other day and he said that everyone in trinity wear glasses because the most intelligent people wear glasses because they have been reading all there lives etc, have you ever seen scobs with glass ? I said no i suppose not, but i still think he is wrong so i said i would solve the debate

So you attend TCD do you wear glasses for anything reading, full time etc

Jammyc

How is it possible to debate with someone about other people use of glasses?

I really cant see the point of this...voted anyway

No sorry mate !!

snappieT

Ex-glasses wearer, had laser eye surgery. Do I still count as smart?

antiselfdual

Yes, and in fact I'm wearing 3-d glasses over my regular glasses while I post this.

Wow.

Denerick

Yes, I wear glasses. And its only because I'm a ****ing genius.

TBH a thread as stupid as this shouldn't be allowed in the TCD forum. Visual impairment has nothing to do with intelligence.

BTW, you're from blackrock. Are there no glasses there or has mammy and daddy finally created the first area in the world where laser eye surgery is paid for the moment bad eyesight is detected?

My god, your threads just get worse and worse. I'm still undecided as to whether you are a troll or serious because you put so much effort in. Nonetheless I voted anyway out of boredom!

Boston

You're too retarded for trinity... at least the science end anyway.

Boston banned for a week for personal abuse.

How does one "solve a debate"?

Boston had a point though imo

To be perfectly fair, he was just right. That kid has deliberately (I can only hope and pray that its deliberate) made himself into a parody of people from Blackrock!

He could have voiced his opinion without calling the user retarded.

It would have lacked gravitas though

What the hell is a scob?...

And yes I wear glasses. Probably stems from the low light in my room when I read and the fact that I sit with my laptop about a foot from my face.

Although I am also a genius

I was going to put it in as "genious" for hilarities sake, but didn't want to come off as completely brain-dead.

Working class? Really? I kind of pictured you as a 16 year old with a jedward haircut, skinny as hell with a face full of spots, dreaming of the day when you're old enough for mammy and daddy to send you to grind school in Leeson street? How could I be so wrong?

D.R cowboy

And to answer the OP's question.
I wear glasses. But sometimes I forget them and have to sit at the very front of the lecture theatre.

But i guess i am the exception that proves the rule.

This thread is great. I wear glasses and go to Trinity, probably a coincidence rather than a deep meaningful sign... although I have been getting much cleverer since I started wearing glasses. That was 10 years ago and now I am an autodidactic polymath.

Maybe you should all get a pair of these:

Deadly. And banning Boston, tiny bit harsh.

devinejay

Don't wear glasses, but going to Trinity makes me think I should. Not for any superficial trendy peer-pressurey way, only because it seems that it is impossible for a person to be both a TCD lecturer and have reasonable handwriting. Or for them to be able to write larger on request.

Academics don't do requests.

Also what is your fetish with google maps? Every thread you seem to bring it up.

But I did do this for you...I went on to bebo for the first time in years to find you a hip new tune for that ride to the institute. All the birds are going to be all over you, like. You'll be knee deep in it. You'll need google maps to come up for air. Hit it, Kanye.(Who doesn't wear glasses).

The Fresh Prince Of D4

Roysh, this is the story all about how
My Golf GTI almost got nicked, turned inside out.
And I'd loike to take a minute, we'll have a talk,
I'll tell you how I became the Prince of a school called Blackrock.

In west Glenageary, born and raised,
On the rugby pitch is where I spent most of my days...
Chillaxing, abbreviating, looking all cool,
Wearing my Polo Sport in and out of school.

When a couple of knackers who were up to no good,
Started wearing shellsuits in my neighbourhood.
They tried to start a fight, I got a bit of a shock,
I said "I'm moving with my rugger-bugger mates to Blackrock!"

The old dear begged and pleaded with me, day after day
But I packed my pink polos and went on my way.
She gave me a kiss and then a Dorsh ticket.
I put some Snoop Dogg on and said I might as well kick it!

I whistled for a jo-maxi and when it came near,
The licence plate said Limerick and had dice on the mirror.
If anything I'd say I'd rather walk,
But I said WHATEVER!, roysh , home to Blackrock!!!

I pulled up to the school around 7 or 8
I yelled to the skobbie driver "yeah thanks loser, later!"
Looked at all the Dubes - couldn't ask for more,
I sat on my throne, the (Legend) Prince of D4.

*I ahve no idea where this song is from, but I like it anyway.

D.R cowboy

OK man fair play like but you real need to get out more, because Golf GTI are totally not cool anyway plus you say the institute but you also mention the rock , its important to know where you are going that's why i use google maps and talk about them.

How am I a D4 again because I live in County Dublin not donnybrook a bit confused with you their dude

The Walsho

If people who wear glasses are so smart, why haven't they instructed their eyes to perform better? Fools.
