Why are people so stupid?

When I saw the title of the thread I thought oh cool, someone is doing a goofy spoof, a lighthearted thing. Though I have to agree in some respects, I don't think it is that people are generally stupid.

I think it's just everyone has been pretty much desensitized. It's like an medical examiner. After they autopsy so many bodies there is no longer any feeling connected. They become so used to it that they are desensitized to it.

Not everyone is that way, not everyone is stupid.............it's just part of reality. Sucks sometimes I know.

people are afraid of original thought.
Then that gives them a level of responsibility they are too numb to accept.

I guess you hold the monopoly on truth, right?

People are stupid; it's proven every day by people who spend more on junk than the necessities, and end up paying high interest rates on their credit cards. People go into debt, and can't make their payments. People vote for the dumbest candidates, because they love one-liners that seems to make sense, but doesn't have any depth of understanding or thought.

Look who we elect as our government representatives; they fight for their political cause forgetting that they are there to work for the people, and to improve our lives. They prefer war over building up our infrastructure, and taking care of our own who have lost jobs and homes. Our country is involved in three wars; Libya is costing the American taxpayer $10 million every day while we cut funding for our schools, our police, and fire departments.

It's a crazy world, because people are stupid!

And as luck would have it, a beautiful day.



Almost made me ...

LOL

Speaking of stupidity, you can't spell random.

WELCOME to the forum.

I am sure BDV knows how to spell random. I am quite sure it is what is known as a typo. You didn't seem to have a problem knowing what word it was supposed to be.

Speaking of more irony, check out his other post: http://able2know.org/topic/173603-1#post-4644696

Don't be so quick to judgment . . . maybe his grandmother needs to improve her character . . .

That is why we shouldn't throw stones when we live in glass houses!

And people who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.

don't be so aggravating, bothersome, disturbing, irritating, troublesome, and vexatious.

Perfectly stated. And I thought pointing out spelling errors and the like was reserved for last resort arguments in the politics and religion threads.

No, it's mainly reserved for juveniles and people who are insecure and for those who have nothing to add but don't want to be left out.

Or throw lit matches....
