Nerds can be cool, while still demonstrating superior intelligence!

Nerds are socially awkward intellectuals. I'd rather be a smart outcast than a cool freak.

Actually, I'm both Nerd and Geek. But I'm arguing for the Nerds today. :)

I've always thought that a nerd is someone who cares about knowledge and learning more than most people.

And a geek is someone who is focused more on hobbies.

If you spend all day playing World of Warcraft, you're a geek. If you spend all day on a debate website, you're a nerd.

At least nerdy activities have some redeeming value.

I think the word Nerd makes it sound like the person is smart but introverted and maybe socially awkward. Being a geek is worse, its like being a Nerd without a brain.

Haven't you heard you friends refer to your "geeky" activities ... it was never said with admiration.

Being a geek is much better than being a nerd. Geeks at least have sweet techie skills that they can use to show off, whereas nerds are just socially awkward and have no chance of impressing anyone.

Well I am not saying geeks are better than nerds or viceversa, but if geeks get good at something they do constantly it is a good thing, while at the same time they still get more knowledge about it like the nerds.
