How can people be so stupid?
 
It's kind of a generic question, but honestly...how the fuck can people on this planet be so easily manipulated, so willfully ignorant and bereft of critical thinking? It's like these idiots were born with blinders across their eyes, cotton stuffed in their ears, and duck tape holding together their Medulla oblongata. Here are some examples (responses in parenthesis):

Examples deleted. Try not to voice your opinion in a way that is clearly insulting to other people using these forums.

I'll think of more examples later, because I'm about to crack. I can't take this bullshit sheeple dumbfuck freak show sometimes. It's hard for me to look on the bright side of things when there's so much bile and afterbirth these so-called "people" excrete on a daily basis. Is there any reasonable way to escape this madness? Sweet Jews for Jesus...

My current theory is people are split into two groups:

1) Fairly smart, introverts who come off as very intelligent, but don't really have high IQs usually, they just come to intelligent conclusions as a result of a sheer magnitude of thinking.

2) Dumber, extroverts who are a lot more social, and as a result spend less time thinking. Not saying they're not smart. They could have high IQs, but they spend less time thinking.

The latter are these people you speak of.

edit: yes of course thats biased, so sue me

I dont spend my time getting that angry about things like this,more so on religon.If they want to believe the bible is god's exact word then I let them because that doesnt affect me,now if they pester me on believing the same,then yes I will get very angry.People like these come to my house almost every week,the jehova's witness.Boy do they love knocking on your door and talking bullshit.

Most people are worthless trash. Just take comfort in the fact they're easy to take advantage of.

Some people are stupid, some people are smart, most people are pretty average. Deal with it. Of course, it's also possible they are all right and we are all woefully stupid. Who's to say? Just live and don't worry about stupid people.

Most people would be the average even if they were only as intelligent as a sea slug. That's the problem, the average is defined by what most people are.

Perhaps in the past, but thanks to automation we could easily eliminate the majority of the world population and still retain sufficient industrial, military and agricultural resources to serve the remaining percent or so of the population. We don't need them.

I hope you don't mean it as it sounds like (social darwinism).

My dear sir, chances are you would yourself fall under that category. There are some really smart people out there, and claiming thatyou are not manipulated by the media and others is foolish, definitely not a sign of exceptional mind.
