Why is everyone so fucking stupid?

[bluekitty69]

At the same time as you repress violent urges, perchance?

I think it's more than that. Too much emphasis on teaching to memorise "facts", and not enough on analysis, questioning and reasoning.

Inflexibility of mind is a tragedy.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

I love to read and the bookstore or library is my ideal of heaven, I will be in a doctors office with a book, and people will actually brag they don't read! Not that they can't, but dont!

I think the love of books and reading is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

People need to get the news from multiple sources not just the ones you agree with, or lean to the political side you identify with.

I'm honestly not sure. I know things do annoy me from time to time though.

Has something happened to recently?

People don't take the time to think before they act/speak, etc.

Has something happened to recently?

Actually, no.

It's a quote from Team America, a piss take of the North Korean dictator. I wanted to see where people would take it. I've learned some interesting things here!

One definition of stupid, Hashtag, is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

I thought that was the definition of madness...

Just checking if you'll pick up the bait I drop.

Ok, I'll bite-

What did you "win" with this clever plan?

How do you benefit by tying your totally-separate-not-at-related alts together?

For the umpteenth fucking time, you're the only one here playing zero dimensional chess, Queef. I just find it curious you feel the need to cover tryfail's ass when he's been a prick to so many.

You seem very upset.

Yes, insanity...Einstein.

Though perhaps he has a point.

Are there any vague subgrouping of humans that 'tag cannot on the strength of a minor anecdotal experience make sweeping generalizations about?

Is it a schizophrenic Serbian Jew thing to do that?

 

[Exescort]

Which reminded me:

I did both actually, for two years in Canterbury during the summer hollidays. I related quite well to the Scots and the 'lower class' -so to speak- working English men. (the women can be a bit trickier).

I actually met many good people among 'the English'.
I only tend to be critical of their Politics and the laypeople who still hold an insular mentality.

England still has remnants of the old class mentality - similar to India's cast system. As I was told By Brits., imagine that.

That’s so true, and it’s getting worse.

The Ewwww is somewhat undermined by the bizarre fantasy in the first line.

No, Hashtag, sorry. I was thinking more something like picking fruit, or shelf-stacking. My standards are a little higher.

So the cock polishing gig is still available?

[MelissaBaby]

It does tarnish so easily.

Do I need to provide references?

It's a valid question.

Here's my view. Genius is around 140 IQ. Mentally retarded is around 80 IQ. Average IQ is around 97. Most of us can do the math.

IQ is nothing to do with intelligence really. By IQ, I'm a genius. All it means is that I'm good at IQ tests.

I loathe the use of IQ as a measure. The older I get, the more worthless it looks.

 

[thør]

ALL of them that use airports today are. No 'almost' about it.

I take offense with that.

Listening. That’s what people need to do.

IQ matters. Maybe you take it for granted, yes?

I mean like this thread, why everyone is so stupid is probably because we are much smarter than almost all others. I see it everyday in my life.

Some stupid people have enough ignorance to achieve easy bliss. Sometimes I am jealous of those.

Others know just enough to be always angry, defensive, paranoid, jealous. I see many of those here, yes.
