Intelligence VS Strength

Which is better? 

Intelligence

VS.

Strength

Without intelligence we, as humans, are mere animals. I do not approve of that prospect and therefore I have to support intelligence. Intelligence is something that is more easily sustained and will further the world in an unselfish way whereas if you are a muscle-builder the world cannot really gain from your strength.

Humans are a remarkably weak species pound for pound. If it were not for our big brains we'd have been extinct quite some time ago.

The difference between the strength of a world class athlete compared to a scrawny human who's never worked up a sweat is negligible when compared to the strength of say, a panther or chimpanzee.

Depends. Were I boxing, I'd greatly prefer my competitor to be a rather weak genius than a moronic champion weight lifter; likewise, I'd prefer an intellectually gifted individual to operate on my brain than a dumb bodybuilder. As I said before, it depends on the situation.

i think, strength in the mind is greater then strength in the body

Okay, I think the best way to explain this is by using a small scenario:

Two men are trapped. One is very strong, and one is very intelligent. They are in a cupboard full of assorted items. A fire has started outside the door, and the ceiling has caved in outside, making it so you cannot open the door. So, the strong man would probably start trying to open the door, pushing on it, making a few holes in the door, and maybe injuring himself in the process.

The smart man, though, would probably remember that the flaming stove outside, the source of the fire, is directly beneath the ventilation shaft, which leads into the cupboard they are in now. And, he might even notice that there is a large container full of water in the corner of the room.

The strong man, you see, could also be a little bit smart, and using common sense, he could lift the bottle of water and pour the water down the ventilation shaft, stopping the fire. But then where would that leave him? Still trapped.

The smart man could build a pully system to lift the water into the ventilation shaft, pour it down, and escape through the shaft.

Therefore intelligence is better. :)

i will support for intelligence only, because it will play a main role on touger times

let me put an example

two friends were travelling inside a forest, one man is strong in mind and another is strong in body not mind , while they r travelling they heard a sound of bear ,then the strong minded person simply lie down on sand the bear came and smelled him and thought that he is dead but the strong bodied person fought with the bear and died

if we put on many examples we can put on therefore i support the intelligence

Intelligence is the preference of people not strong enough to beat their point of view into others ;)

Well let me intelligently beat my point of preference into you - intelligently.

Strength is nothing compared to intelligence for strength is meaningless to most others beside yourself, whereas intelligence can be more easily shared and therefore used in the future.

Intelligence can further civilisations in many more ways, and when it is used for the human race, six billion people are obviously more important than one muscle-builder.

False choice. Intelligence is a type of strength .

Popular Debates in Politics: Should rich people have more taxes than poor people in America? "The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer" this is the Republican philosophy? Do you believe that the vast majority of conservatives are utter hypocrites?
