stupid people



Recommended Posts

And they are VERY interesting. Too bad they can't be linked from certain messageboards (not LBT). If they could, it might open a few eyes!

Doubtful. Those that create their own reality also go along with the reality created by others on line.

Some of the Nazi followers of Adolph Hitler shouted "HEIL HITLER" on the gallows, seconds before being hanged for war crimes.

They just didn't get it, and neither will some other people, despite mountains of irrefutable proof.

Proof only means something to those with the brain power to process said evidence of stupidity.

That's it. We need population control. Who's with me? lol.

Tests every few years. If you're on a long-standing downward spiral, you're done. Not proactive? Hmmmmmm. Done.

But then people would only work just hard enough to not die. hmmmmmmm. I have to admit, though, living is pretty good incentive? Yes?

This topic interests me. I also feel that society as a whole is becoming more stupid. Sometimes I think it is just my view but reading this validates me! Do you guys think that we are just becoming more aware of each other through technology? The internet has definitely brought us into each other's living room!

I know some of you are definitely aware of the psychos that post on some boards. (not LBT). It is kinda scary huh? The "pack of wolves" mentality is one thing that I am glad is not prevalent here at LBT. It is also through this technology that we are able to expose these people though who would manipulate and hurt others.

I think it's like the reporting of horrendous crimes on the news.

That has always gone on, but our awareness is higher now.

People join gangs, it's a fact of life.

But now the gangs get exposed.

Just like some psycho people are going to be exposed for what they truly are.

You know, it just bothers me. In my humble opinion, only the strong survive. If some retard wants to do something stupid enough to get them killed, whether intentional or not, let them do it. Who cares. The world was better off without them anyway.

Think I'm a heartless a-hole? Fine. It's my .02 :)

Okay, I feel better about some of the thoughts I've had about stupid people.

Several years back, a guy claimed he was going to jump off the Wilson bridge near DC. Traffic was backed up for over 6 hours!!! All because the police and officials catered to the guy, trying to talk him out of it.

Save the people who want to live; who deserve to live.

I was so mad. If he wants to jump - LET HIM. One more wacko we don't have to deal with later.

Why in the world was all the time, man-hours, and money put into this guy? Yet, my daughter's school doesn't have enough money for paper/supplies. The whole system is upside down.

The topic interests me, too. I suspect that because of the increasing sophistication of the media and the easy access that we now all have to the technology of the internet we simply get to meet a much broader range of people amd view a much broader range of activities than we did before.

In our real lives our interpersonal contacts are largely edited: that is to say, you will likely know people who do the same kind of work as you do, go to your church (if you do go to one), have graduated from the same schools, and who live in your neighbourhood. They are likely to have similar interests and concerns and have achieved a similar level of education. They will thus appear to be fairly intelligent and fairly sane. (Except, possibly, the in-laws!)

But now, thanks to the unedited free-for-all which is the internet, we are exposed to the vast range of human personalities and interests and, yup, we will be left with the sense that there really are a lot of whackos and idiots out there, many more than you can recall from pre-internet times.

Actually, one of the reasons why I am so fond of the internet is that it leaves me feeling much more intelligent and much more sane than I usually feel. Talk about yer instant ego boost, eh. Haha. :rose: :ranger:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
