The first has your IQ. However, as he grows up, you realize he is a total piece of shite. He thinks he's better than everyone else, and treats everyone else like they are beneath him. He's mostly hated by his peers. He's completely socially inept.

Your second child is slightly below-median intelligence. But he's a wonderful kid, very loving, puts others before himself, and excels at what he does because he works harder than most people do to compensate.

Which one do you think would be easier for you to co-exist with and parent?

i know plenty of really nice, stupid people

i don't hang out with them socially...on purpose, at least

and i'm being 100% honest here

people are trying to pile on me for saying terrible things, while avoiding listing their own legit terrible thoughts/preferences

i'm either one of the few honest people or i'm one of the few terrible people

Nothing wrong with that. The older you get, the more you realize just how stupid many of them actually are. It's embarrassing to potentially be viewed on their level.

I thought when I initially read your premise there was no point in criticizing you because it was unlikely any woman would ever have sex with you in the first place, No sex, no kids.

why not both ?

I know, but you're OP was not about hanging with them socially. It's about having a child. And stupid being defined as slightly below median.

I know you are, and my question was sincere.

I'm not trying to pile on. The question was framed from a father that has raised 4 kids. They are very different, and I was honestly just trying to get a feel for how strong you felt about the intelligence issue of your children.

The truth, I believe, is once you hold your firstborn, your perception will change.

Meanwhile you continue this silly debate rather than acknowledge the people who actually do post their terrible thoughts

But you do like posting on the OT ... A LOT.

I just came in and stumbled upon this thread a few moments ago, and there are a lot of dumb arguments going back and forth, but to get back to the main point of all this--You really don't seem like the type of guy who minds having conversation with less intelligent people at all. In fact, you seem to thrive on it.

So I'm just not buying the whole point of the original post.

I don't have any kids, but I'm guessing that whether or not you have good rapport with your son or daughter will have very little to do with how intelligent they are, and a whole lot to do with shared interests and points of view about random stuff.
