On stupid people
October 20th, 2005 by Michael Hampton
We see them every day, and usually we make fun of them.
They’re the stupid. The daft. The incompetent. The people who can’t seen to find their way out of a wet paper bag.
Some examples:
People looking for a job application for Target or Walmart (I misspelled that on purpose; if you’re really curious, ask me why, but not in comments) and can’t comprehend the simple fact that the applications simply are not online.
The people so high on methamphetamine they apparently didn’t realize they were smoking right in front of a police station.
The stupidity of government officials and the stupidity of phone companies.
I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. But I won’t.
The question of the day is: How do we make people less stupid? Is it even possible?
What’s wrong with our world, that so many people live their daily lives in a fog of stupidity?

I’m really hurt that my name didn’t appear on here somewhere. Have I not proven my stupidity?!?!

Survival of the fittest is no longer the rule with our species. If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times – quit putting warning labels on things. However, you then must prevent the idiots who survive from sueing for damages.

You get rid of stupidity by killing people like Doctor Drive By.

The trick is not to make others less stupid, but to make yourself less clever.

There is a fixed volume of intelligence in the world, and the population is increasing.

Rebecca hit it on the nail…let me expand on her postulation on WHY we have more and more stupid people. It’s simple really… the answer is social engineering. Our society (and by “our” I mean those of the western civilized nations) have become so concerned with Political Corectness and socially engineering our societies to make accomodations for EVERYONE, that nature is incapable (blocked, really) of making natural corrections. We legislate and build policies around protecting stupid people. Natural selection would otherwise cull these folks from the gene pool, but in our haste to uphold the “sanctity of life” we have trampled over Nature’s own processes. Why do we need a warning lable on a chainsaw that says “don’t run the saw on your legg…extreme injury could result!” If there are people stupid enough not to realize that in the first place, I’d rather they were eliminated from the breeding cycle!! Let Nature take it’s course!!
