Without Stupid people who would make the rest of us feel smart?

Tolerance of the ignorant and stupid is not something I am good at.  I am trying to find a positive spin on it and the only one I can find is that they help keep my ego healthy.  From the Drunken ignorant to the consistently dumb they drive me nuts.  The advent of social networking has made this even worse from their dumb posts about things no one really cares about to comments on news pages that are so obviously uninformed and unresearched it hurts my head to think about, seriously its physically painful.  What is even worse is some of the worst offenders are people that until you added them as a friend on facebook or Twitter you may have found them intelligent so when everyday they post something moronic its like getting slapped in the face.  Of course you  hide their posts thinking this will help but then whenever you seem them in real life you cringe instead of smile because your thinking about the last post you read from them.

And whats worse is the people that you have to be around constantly that are highly dumb.  The people that feel that Jerry Springer is the greatest TV program ever created.  The ones who actually feel that "ain't" is a word and should be used whenever possible.  And what's worse these are the people that have an opinion on everything from race to religion to politics and they voice them without any provocation and you have no choice but to sit and listen or end up in 3 hour long conversation about why we cant just kick the president out of office because we dont like him or why ancient aliens isnt reality its just a tv show you really cant publish a scientific report without facts or proof.  Or my favorite why we cant really go and just kill everyone in the middle east and how that would be very similar to Hitler during World War II, of course comparing them to Hitler will set them off on a tizzy so its best to avoid this. After the 3 hours is over their final answer is always "Well thats just dumb." 

Annnddd then there's their children.  When you think you can take all there is to take of utter stupidity and ignorance you realize that these people actually reproduced and not just once but 4 to 5 times. Each child dumber than the first.  And sadly no its not a lack of application on the child's part and they may have actually been intelligent in the first place unfortunatley after years of living with their moronic parents their IQ's have slowly decayed over time and as we all know you cant replace dead brain cells.  In some cases these children's parents are so dumb CPS has actually come in and removed the children and not for physical abuse or anything just simply because the parent is soo stupid they are clearly incapable of making common sense decisions like putting a coat on your child when its 20 degrees out.  Sadly after a few parenting classes these children are returned to the home to spend the next 18 yrs learning the important things in life like the names of all the wrestlers on WWE or how to apply eyeliner correctly.  They will most likely drop out at 15 after deciding that their afterschool job at McDonalds is all they really ever need be pregnant by 19 and break up with Baby's Daddy within a year of their child's birth.  In the case they are male this will all be similar except he will most likely have multiple babies with multiple women and purposley fail an IQ test miserably so he can get on SSI and not have to pay child support.

Then there are the stupid people that are actually intelligent but constantly under the influence of some sort of intelligence lowering product such as alchohol or weed.  The biggest problem with this type of stupidity is that they think they are actually intelligent while are under the influence and no amount of argument can convince them otherwise. These people will usually want to discuss the first thing that will start and argument such as politics or religion. And maybe sports if there are a bunch of drunk sports fans.  These people usually end up with black eyes or in a drunk tank somewhere as well.  I must make a note here though because these people are only annoying when you are sober, when you are intoxicated as well your just as dumb as they are.  

Anyways the point of this rant is simple I feel 10 times smarter whenever I get on facebook and even with a complete lack of puncuation this post is still more intelligent that 75% of the conversations/facebook posts I have had in the last 30 days!
