I'm not going to read through the whole thread, but I'm just going to point out the two kinds of "gifted" for the hell of it:
Gifted Meaning One: The retarded kind, the one used to make disabled people feel better at first, but now it's turned into a common insult. Truly, people who use it as an insult are terrible and end up looking extremely retarded by people with a brain in their skull, gifted brain or standard.
Gifted Meaning Two: People with an above average IQ. Just because you have an Above average IQ though, doesn't mean you are better than everyone. You have the capability of learning things at an advanced rate, but there will be someone better than you that is not "gifted". I myself fall into this category. In Florida, the DoE (Department of Education) standards on Gifted students is anyone with an IQ of 130+ that's been measured by State Standardized tests administered by Guidance Counselors and such.
