the logic is awful, a number of members told the topic starter that.
But there was no need to be offensive.

Mature a little.

No, excuse me for stating my opinion. I will be sure from now on to lie.
With great maturity,

I laughed.

I AM GOING TO USE YOUR LOGIC TO DISPROVE YOUR ARGUMENT

1. I know a guy who's dyslexic
2. The guy I know who is dyslexic is a complete imbecil.
Theirfore [sic]
3. All dyslexics are imbecils.

Damn, I'm good.

I think wendylove may be regretting this topic.

lol. I didn't know DV was capable of having a retard-fight.

I mean, seriously, why is everyone thinking so absolute? Maybe there is somewhat of a correlation between dyslexia and intelligence. But that still doesn't say jackshit, it may not be directly related. I am sure that in some countries you can say white people are smarter then black people based on IQ test, purely because black people have crappy education and white people do not. That goes beyond ethically biased IQ-tests: good education and training will make you score higher on IQ tests. Also, I am sure people TRY to make IQ-test as un-biased as they can, but a perfect IQ-test is impossible.

Anyhow, I am sure there are some studies on this subject, look them up instead of saying "omg teh dylectic pplz are teh genious!!1" or "lol ur teh n00b speller, dylectia is 4 retardz" or something like that.

Personally, I don't care. Being right handed makes me a retard, because Leonardo Da Vinci was left-handed. I think I am going to drop out of school, what use does it have? :0 *sarcasm*

EDIT:

Okay, so the logic stated in the first post is clearly flawed, don't we all agree already? : /

1. I know a guy who's dyslexic
2. The guy I know who is dyslexic is a complete imbecil.
Theirfore [sic]
3. All dyslexics are imbecils.[/b]

Sorry but your logic is a bit more logical then her's

Okay I used the word if before I did the example. Hence their is a different between
1. I can fly
2. You can fly over the white house
3. I can fly over the white house
I bet aload of people will be going, but wendy (I just called myself by the name of my imaginary friend weird) you can't fly. See I would use
Well if
1. I can fly
2. You can fly over the white house
3. I can fly over the white house
Seeing using well if makes it vague like their might be other factors like will I be flying a airplane.

Well if
1. Eintein is a dyslexic
2. Genius is genetic
Theirfore
3. Dylexia equals genius[/b]

Einstein might not be a dyslexic so well if he was a dyslexic, next well if genius is genetic, well if the both are correct then well you can say dyslexic equals genius.

Why because people don't understand using well if before provided logic it means it is a probabillity, and not a fundamental thing like all dyslexic people are geniuses.

This topic is interesting, and will continue to remain interesting if people remain civil to one another, or it's going to end up getting locked, and that's a shame.

to put my thoughts in.

Whether you're dyslexic or not has no bearing on your intelligence in my opinion. It's all down to how you let things affect you, and what you do with what you've got.

My boyfriend is dyslexic, it didn't get discovered until his last few years of schooling. Teachers constantly thought he was slow, lazy or stupid. He got five good GCSE's and went on to university to get a 2:1 in Film studies. When i asked him how he did it, he said 'i didn't let it hold me back.'

Ok, so sometimes he spells things wrong, or gets letters backwards.
He's very creative, and has a very artistic nature, a vivid imagination. It's said that dyslexics use a different side of their brain, i'm not sure how true that is, i don't reckon creativity is anything to do with it, some people are just more creative than others.

He's also left handed. He's no cleverer or stupider than the next person, he's just himself.

you can't generalise and say that someone who has any form of learning difficulty is cleverer or stupider than the next person. You can have a great brain and no common sense.

just my thoughts on things.

No, because some of us have difficulty understanding what you're trying to say, as is evident with your first post, to which almost everyone on this forum has replied "That's flawed logic" (myself included).

Or, you could ignore me and hope I'll go away.
