If you were truly my friend.

When will I ever have to stop proving my intelligence to people?
Why can't they see it themselves?

When will you ever be able to see that it doesn't matter if I don't know who wrote the Declaration of Independence off the top of my head or when John Adams was in office? It shouldn't matter that I don't know. You should be my friend and not a dick either way.

If proving my intelligence to you is the only way we can be friends then we were never really friends in the first place.

I've had to prove my intelligence all my life to my FAMILY, because they didn't think I was smart enough for them. Maybe its just republicans who think this way.
No, I take that back, maybe it the fact that you are so conceited that you care about no one but yourself.
Oh sure, you have friends who you are best friends with but you should really stop criticizing people before you know the whole story.
If not knowing who wrote the Declaration of Independence makes me "un-American" what am I then?
A foreigner? No. I'm an American, I don't retain numbers and dates that happened so many years ago.
Yea, they taught this in American History, and I learned it and everything but I don't care for this useless knowledge, its not like I'm going to be on Jeopardy and need to know this stuff.

All I am saying is that, if you were truly my friend, you wouldn't make me prove my intelligence to you. That's not what friends do.
No matter what kind of friendship they have.
