Intelligent people know the difference between telling somebody off and hitting that person. Intelligent people know the difference between disciplining a child and spanking that child.
Intelligent people know the difference between public criticism and opinion and demanding that somebody be fired for nothing more than expressing an opinion that an organization didn't like.
Again, I ask: Who decides which people are intelligent, and which are not?
I don't think anybody decides that. I think it becomes obvious with experience. But I will amend my post to be prefaced with 'in my opinion'. But at the end of the day, I think diffferent people will define intelligence than those who presume to dictate what is acceptable for people to think, believe, and speak without fear that some angry mob, group, or organization will physically or materially punish them.
