not sure where this thought came from, but it came nonetheless. i was playing a few games of freecell, the quest is progressing and i was thinking about stupid people… and how there are way too many stupid people. and then i got to thinking about the olden days, olden even before i was around (i’ve heard stories). about the time when we went outside without helmets to go play in the yard, about the toys we used to play with that had sharp edges, about sockets without that stupid plastic cover. hey, we fell down, got hurt, scrapes and cuts – bled and bruised, but ya know what? we got back up, wiped away the tears and kept on playing after a period of time when it finally occurred to us that cryin wasn’t gettin us anywhere and that it really didn’t hurt that bad anyway. and you know what? after fallin down on the bike, we learned how to balance on two wheels.
what does this have to do with stupid people, you may ask… what DOESN’T it have to do with stupid people and the over population of stupid people on the planet today… if someone didn’t learn the first time that the gym set had sharp edges or if you ran out on the slippery ice or there was something else that, if not done correctly, would cause an individual pain – then that person would continue to get hurt until they corrected their behavior not do continue doing that activity that brought about the undesired effect. seems like common sense, don’t it? the idiot keeps doing it and getting hurt, the non-moron thinks, ‘hey, that doesn’t feel good, i’ll stop doing it’.
i’m not sure exactly when it started, but instead of letting kids learn these things on their own, parents over protected their, sometimes stupid, kids and the kids never learned. the parents made the kids wear helmets to cross the street or put plastic pads on the corners of gym sets or removed the gym sets altogether and made it not a requirement to have a gym class, cuz some people got hurt easily (gee, maybe they should’ve learned earlier in their life on their own how to not get hurt, but mommy cradled them too much). and all this snowballed and it got progressively worse and worse…
now, we’ve gone so far as to idiot-proof so many things (look at warning tags these days, are you kidding me? don’t use toaster in the shower. G.I.Joe parachute not suitable for real person) and made it almost impossible for stupid person to get it through their thick skulls that this activity isn’t advised to continue for one reason or another. and you know what? not only are stupid people living longer (cuz some of the activities that stupid people partook in just happened to kill them, [sarcasm]aaawwwww, poor stupid people[/sarcasm]), but now they’re reproducing stupid offspring and they’re not learning. in fact, they’re teaching stupid offspring how to continue to be stupid.
and all these stupid people are making life difficult for normal people, because now we’ve gotta establish stupid laws and rules. example: high school pole vaulters in minnesota MUST wear a helmet when vaulting. why? because stupid people vaulted wrong/incorrectly and/or didn’t do something correctly and killed themselves or got seriously hurt. (this is a stupid rule made by stupid people for a couple reasons, of which i won’t go into now perhaps another time) hey stupid person, learn how to vault correctly and you’ll be fine.
basically, what i’m getting at is stupid people tend to have stupid voices and these stupid voices are loud. what’s wrong with the world today? stupid people. with all the stupid rules, we’re allowing stupid people to flourish and reproduce and continue to be stupid. why don’t we away with stupid rules and let stupid people kill themselves off? go ahead and let em get hurt over and over again, until they finally learn, ‘hey, that’s not a good activity, perhaps i should stop seeing how long i can stare at the sun and find a better activity’ and ya know what? they might learn something, they might even find a way to contribute to society rather than continue to tear this great land to shreds. let them figure it out themselves, if they don’t figure it out… then they end up dying and that’s not a bad thing either – one less stupid person.
the funny part is, this wasn’t because i read or heard any particular story or article about a stupid people… it’s just a thought that popped into my head whilst playing freecell. i leave you now with a thought, how much gooder would the world be if everyone just had a little bit of common sense?
man, i hate stupid people.
got this from katie’s mom in the emails today… and yes, it’s worthy of a post – i could elaborate on it and add a plethora of examples… but i won’t, for now.
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Mr. Common Sense
Mr. Sense had been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm and that life isn’t always fair. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not kids, are in charge).
His health began to rapidly deteriorate when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. – Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Mr. Sense declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a student; but, could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Finally, Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense finally gave up the ghost after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot, she spilled a bit in her lap, and was awarded a huge financial settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by two stepbrothers; My Rights and Ima Whiner.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
as always… man, i hate stupid people

i don’t know if i’ve grown up or not the last couple years… and i doubt i’ve matured – but i have been listening to talk radio and reading an occasional article or two on cnn or the local paper whilst sitting on the throne at wurk.
and now i know why i never listened to talk radio or read the newspaper ‘back in the day’ – the world is filled with morons and complete idiots. not that this is anything new, but they are louder and are causing more of a rukus than i’ve ever known them to in the past. and the sad thing is that there are supposed to be intelligent individuals in leadership positions to override this stupidity. i know there used to be people who had the balls to tell people they were idiots – but now the ‘representatives’ and other elected officials are more focused on not pissing people off rather than making progress.
to start:
the super bowl in sunday and the biggest story is not the feel good story of bettis’ return to detroit – it’s the seahawks TE Jerramy Stevens making the [sarcasm] asanine [/sarcasm] comment [paraphrase] ‘i think we’re going to win this game’ [/paraphrase] and joey porters rebuttal. and i thought semi-pro was bad – dudes, grow the fuck up. it’s a game and you’re gettin paid millions to play. your paycheck at the end of the DAY is more than the average joe makes in a year (probably, i don’t know for sure, but either way it’s a decent chunk of change). what’s wrong with having confidence in your team and stating that opinion?
in other football news – mcnabb is a racist moron. owens is also a moron. owens’ comments about the eagles being undefeated if favre was their quarterback are a bit far-fetched and not the most proper thing to say about ones own teammate. and that’s another topic altogether. but mcnabb’s comments on owens’ statements being racist (paraphrasing again) and saying that owens was only stating that favre would be a better fit because he’s white? listen to owens’ statement – he didn’t say anything about white, black, green, blue, forest green, olive green, drab green or any other colored players. dude, favre is good. he has been good for a long time. to say that favre wouldn’t be an asset to a team who had an injured quarterback throughout the majority of the season is a fallacy. owens, shut up. mcnabb – get better, you’re a good quarterback, but shut up.
dudes be talking kidnap and murder over a cartoon… wow, where does one begin. peeps been so wrapped up in their own close-minded, no-freedom walks of life that they don’t know a freedom when they see one. nor do they know how to respond civilally (is that a word?). relax people. this doesn’t have to be such a big deal – and peeps be gettin fired over this? oh, and the guns and other threats too… you know, i’m sure a ‘letter to the editor’ would’ve been a good first step, rather than jumping 10000 notches to the threats of murder, death, kill and kidnapping. islamic extremists – shut up.
that poor hooters (ex)cheerleader from ETSU… boo fricken hoo. [paraphrase]i was kicked off the cheerleading squad cuz i work at hooters [/paraphrase]. listen to your coach and cheermates – apparently there was more that lead to your been given the boot. now cnn’s reporting and more specifically WJHL’s Nate Morabito did a horrible job of doing actual reporting on this story and not getting any real information on what all went down. hey, nate – do some real reporting and fill in some of those HUGE gaping holes in the report – and poor hooters girl – shut up.
oh, and i haven’t said this before (i don’t think). but i’ve wanted to everytime her name came up – cindy sheehan, shut the fuck up. and that goes to all of your idiot ‘followers’ too. damn hippies. we’re at war. and there’s a reason we’re there. no, it’s not fucking oil. it’s because some dope tried to steal what my grandpa’s fighted in WWII for: our freedoms. maybe if those nitwits in the big sandbox had some freedoms in the past, it wouldn’t be so bad and it wouldn’t be such a radical change. (cuz we all know how people be fearin the change – even when the change be the best thing). now, i’m pretty sure your freedoms end at exactly the same spot where mine begin. i believe in what we’re doing across the big pond. and it sucks loosing the good men and women who are putting themselves on the line for us. but it’s also a sacrifice that they are damn proud to be making. my uncle was over there and i’m proud of what he was able to do while on tour. had i another go-round at life, i probably would’ve joined the military myself. infact, i occasionally wonder if i could still join and where that would take me. i love the United States of America. i love my freedoms and i love and respect all those in the armed forces. thank you guys and gals.
but to those people who are blinded by their own freedoms and stupidity, i say to you: shut the fuck up.
i’m gonna watch the super bowl this year (enough of the stupid people rant). and i’m gonna be hoping for commercials worth watching. i remember when the commercials were fun to watch and we looked forward to them. they were comical and they were special. the last couple years, i’ve seen more movie previews and upcoming ‘season premieres’ or ‘next week on 24′ (or whatever other stupid show)… what happened world? the biggest event of the year – millions upon millions watching and those marketing ‘guru’s can’t come up with something new and at least remotely entertaining? at least this should be a pretty good football game. i look forward to watching the game: i’ll even make a prediction. the team with the most points at the end, will win. i’ll even put money on that.
i’ll watch the commercials, too. and i’ll probably be disappointed like the last 4 or 5 or so years… unless… no, that would make too much sense and we can’t have that in this fuckt up world we live in.
man, i hate stupid people
