Ode to the English language Ok hmm well okay why don't we just our thought process maybe the idiots are right they don't seem to be losing any sleep over this but we do. By we I am reffering to any person idiot or not who believes they aren't an idiot. Now remember the saying ignorance is bliss? I think we are idiots for bothering to pointlessly bitch about idiots and what makes a person an idiot? because they are less intellegent than you? then how do you define intellegence? certainly schools don't show us this intellegence, there will always be idiots for whatever reason for whatever definition of the word you have stuck inside your little head, people are always so caught up in comparing themselves to others which is fucked up, if you ask me this whole thread is a waste of time, considering only an idiot would waste the time bitch about an idiot wasting their time resulting in ultimo time wastage(but thats only my opinion), if you had something better to be doing then you would probly be doing it.(Go ahead and count my grammatical errors )

Or, you could say, "I see an idiot, and his name is Kwan" - either way you're still using/abusing an overquoted line from a movie, showing unoriginality

I've always thought it's somewhat idiotic how people consistently and rashly label others as "stupid," and toss the phrase "stupid people" around all willy-nilly. Often it seems that, when a person takes some sort of action that a poster does not agree with, said poster will write up a thread with a link to the appropriate news story and then insert an unfunny and pretentious comment about idiots ruling the world.

That said, I've found myself agreeing with Yiffy Kitten more and more as of late. The original statements made in this thread illustrate a situation where "stupid" is an appropriate adjective, though I say that subjectively because it appears that my political views so closely mirror TG's . The whole political correctness thing, for one, makes me want to vomit.

On a sidenote, don't be so hard on Cthulhu. Unless there's something about him that I haven't seen yet, he seems like an okay guy.
