Stupid People

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>What does someone have to do in order to be considered “stupid” in your eyes? Straight F transcript? No common sense? Extremely annoying personality? Shallow? I know you’d generally perceive someone with a low IQ as “stupid,” but really, it seems to be about more than that or other factors nowadays. </p>

<p>Use this thread to talk about stupid people, I guess. Funny stories about stupid people are welcome as well.</p>

<p>For the record, I’m not trying to denounce stupid people. I myself have been deemed stupid on many occasions.</p>

<p>Anyone who has a different opinion than I do.</p>

3

<p>Smart Talented Unique Person In Demand</p>

4

<p>It’s just something you can sense. I can tell after a 10 minute conversation. I go with my intuition over test scores, although the two seem to correlate very strongly.</p>

5

<p>Someone who doesn’t even try. </p>

<p>Like someone from my school is a consistent F student. His reasoning is “I’m not even going to college”.</p>

6

<p>^He’s not necessarily stupid though. Just painfully uninspired</p>

7

<p>^^ Don’t hate on apathy. Not giving a F*** does not make you stupid.</p>

8

<p>The more stupid people, the better your chances…</p>

</p>

<p>haha when I was a kid we used to use that acronym. Except I never heard of the “demand” part…instead we just used “Dubai” lol.</p>

10

<p>a closed mind and no desire to learn or grow as a person.</p>

<p>And I don’t mean book learning. I mean **** you learn from having legitimate life experiences. People who just want to sit on their butt and get by, to me, are stupid. People who say “I can’t” without even trying.</p>

<p>Oh, and people who knowingly and willingly screw up their lives. Drug abusers, alcoholics, criminals, etc.</p>

11

<p>For me, a stupid person shows ignorance.</p>

12

<p>Stupidity has nothing to do with intelligence or education (actually, I think there is a strong correlation between high education and stupidity).</p>

<p>Stupid is when you, when told by a man the his ex-wife’s new husband just left her, say “was she really that bad?”.</p>

<p>Stupid is when you, when riding on the interstate, suddenly open the side door to scare the driver.</p>

<p>Also, stupid is when you release a bioengineered accelerated microorganism into the atmosphere, hoping that it will consume CO2 and stop Global Warming.</p>

13

<p>The person who walks for fifteen minutes to the bus stop to wait for a bus, then realizes, after five minutes of waiting, that it’s Sunday and buses don’t come on Sundays anymore, so that she now had to walk for fifteen minutes back home-----> aka me this afternoon.</p>

14

<p>Usually I associate intelligence with verbal wit (and of course, external indicators such as good grades). So if someone is good at word games, I’ll probably think he’s smart. If he failed precalc, I’ll probably think he’s stupid. And if he seems to understand everything I say, I’ll think he’s smarter than if he doesn’t.</p>

15

<p>I guess I’m stupid, cause I nearly failed geometry.</p>

16

<p>They have to have no common sense. Or be completely ignorant.</p>

17

<p>^^Aw, now I feel bad.</p>

18

<p>I don’t like terming people stupid, it’s an unnecessary way of demeaning people.</p>

<p>But I question this when I see Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck.</p>

19

<p>I really don’t see why people object to calling people stupid. It’s just a trait. Like saying they have red hair or a short stature.</p>

<p>Then again, people don’t like calling people fat, so I guess it’s the same thing.</p>

20

<p>^^^ It’s ok. I overcompensate with my amazing verbal skills anyways.</p>
