I'm a "B" guy all the way.  I suppose I could understand someone going with A on the second one, but only because of a weird cost of living (even though I said "all else equal").  I certainly don't understand how one could pick A for the first one...can some of you explain?

I like to be smart. I don't need alot of room or money.

But if you don't care, why screw others?  And you picked the "dumber" option...that's not very smart.  Unless by "I like to be smart" you mean "I like to be smarter than others".

Ignorance is bliss, Dead0man... and you'd still be smarter than everyone else. 

I guess I can understand wallowing in ones ignorance, but who (other than Christian Fundies) would CHOOSE to be ignorant?  It really makes no sense to me.
