Imagine being richer than god and still being mad about how nerds were treated in 80s teen movies.

Paul never evolved beyond that blog post (Edit: this one, which he wrote when he was 40 years old) he wrote about the poor nerds sadly. And the the whole nerd/jock thing has not really been relevant for ages anyway, superman plays warhammer ffs.

I at least appreciate that he points out that he's describing American schools; my experiences of British schools doesn't tally with his, but I assume from all the media's portrayals that his memories match the common US experience.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
