stupid people

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.

Sadly, very true.

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.

What are you talking about I got 'cougars' after me all the time on here :heh: :eyebrows:

(whoo-hoo!!! we have a eyebrow smiley!)

The kind of ganging up on someone I am talking about is not the pleasant kind! Somehow, I think you enjoy your "cougars"....haha

Eh, we have a little bit of a wolf-pack here on LBT. But we just go after the stupid and insane. :heh:

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

Yep, I'll bet you'll be a frequent poster to Things I Learn From My Patients part 02 - Page 2 - Student Doctor Network Forums. It's very interesting to read about just how stupid people can be.

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.

OMG I LOVE that link! I have been reading that off and on for months. Even added my own examples a few months ago. :rose:

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:
