There are far too many and they take themselves far too seriously.
 
Two thoughts.

“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves and wiser people so full of doubts.” - Bertrand Russell

“I’m not saying we should kill all the stupid people. I’m just saying let’s remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.”
 
I must be the wisest SumBeach in the history of the universe then.

Or maybe ....
 
Build a large spaceship. We could call it "Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B..."

Hey TarnishedPenny,

The second one will work the best... :D
 
I agree qith the removal of warning labels to behonest most of that shit is for idiots in the first place.

I fear we'll never be able to get rid of them. Instead, we'll have to learn to live among them, listen to their crazy ideas and accept their strange behaviors.

Most of the time, they are benign, but unfortunately, a problem arises when some of the idiots become politically inclined and then affect the remainder of the population.
 
Tell them that the promised land is in Hawaii but, they have to walk there with out assistance in order to find it.
 
Far too many

Idiots are like cockroaches. For every one you see there's a dozen more hiding somewhere.
 
My question is if you get rid of all the idiots how long before the rest of the people start finding new idots or some get the label themselves?
 
But always remember that if you just sit and say nothing, people will think you are an idiot. If you speak up, they will KNOW you are.

Attitudes of driving, walking, and consuming in Mexico and USA are quite different. In USA, warning notices abound because 'accidents' are thought preventable. In Mexico, any mishap is divine will. You didn't fuck up; the Lord just wanted you dead or disabled. This greatly simplifies the legal system. I'm not sure how idiocy levels are affected, but most surviving drivers in Mexico (except cabbies) are polite.
 
They've been out in abundance the last few days. Scurrying about like ants after you've kicked over their hill.
 
We hear talk of "Darwin award candidates" and "cleansing the genepool." Alas, life don't work that way. If stupidity were actually weeded out genetically, humanity would all be fucking geniuses by now. I've read that intelligence is 30% heritable. Thus, eliminating dummies before they breed won't matter; there's always another idiot.

Hey Hypoxia,

You're talking about someone who is born with below average intelligence. These folks are often hardworking, polite individuals.

I'm referring to people who are born with average or above average intelligence who have an education and who behave like total assholes without a thought or care about those around them.

"Willful ignorance" just about covers it, eh Chief?
 
From my onboard dictionary; idiot | ˈidēət |noun- informal- a foolish or stupid person.
• archaic a mentally handicapped person.

The word itself is a rather useless source of information. One person's idiot may be another person's genius.

As has been eluded to, someone who may not be the head of the class in academics, may very well be a genius with her art... the woman who loves sky-diving may be called foolish by the man who loves movies. So, who gets to define which 'idiots' are to be sent to the gas chambers?

To allow the lives, words and beliefs of others to become overly important to me is perhaps itself a prime example of foolish or stupid behavior? It's only when these actually pose a threat that one should take note and get involved, otherwise it's best to ignore and concentrate on more positive realities.
