The Anti-Stupidity Club

<p>I am referring to stupidity as a lifestyle. I can not deal with people who chose to do stupid things, especially when their stupidity impacts others! </p>

<p>Case #1: This girl knows her friend is high on drugs and makes him drive her to a concert because she doesn’t have a ride. STUPIDITY! </p>

<p>Case #2: I take one non-AP class. Everyone in it is way older than me and couldn’t give a flying flip about learning anything. Today two idiots thought it would be a great idea to play an impromptu game of soccer OVER MY HEAD. Well, unsurprisingly, a soccer ball was kicked in the back of my head. All because of a couple of idiots and their STUPIDITY!</p>

<p>OK rant over. Stupidity drives me CRAZY so I hereby initiate the Anti-Stupidity Club. I highly encourage everyone to vent their frustrations here.</p>

<p>I’m in lol</p>

3

<p>Welcome haha!</p>

4

<p>what if i know people who are just plain stupid? like ridiculously stupid</p>

5

<p>I’m down for it :)</p>

<p>Today’s stupidity: I witnessed my friend photocopy part of a textbook and write his name on it and handed it in for homework, thinking that is the same as if he outlined that part of the textbook.</p>

7

<p>^hahahahahaha. There’s something you don’t see everyday.</p>

8

<p>Well today in English class a girl asked if William Shakespeare was still alive. This is the same girl that pronounced Zeus as “zee-us” /facepalm</p>

9

<p>Getting driven by someone who’s high - stupid</p>

<p>Playing soccer over someone’s head - fun</p>

<p>I will have no part of this elitist society.</p>

10

<p>Pro soccer - against stupidity.</p>

11

<p>ITT: OP was butthurt about a soccer ball hitting him in the head, copes with his problems by telling the internet that the people playing soccer are stupid, and that he hates stupid people.</p>

<p>Get over yourself OP, you’re not elite and neither are any of us.</p>

<p>I don’t think that people playing soccer and doing stunts are stupid. It is only the ones who are bad at soccer and try to do stunts above there level. My friend and I were passing a soccer ball back and forth as we were walking to a field. We needed to cross a parking lot and we saw someone we knew driving towards us. My friend ran towards the car and lifted the soccer ball over the car completely juking it out because he is capable of doing so without kicking the ball into the car.</p>

13

<p>Gotta agree with 609represent on this one.</p>

14

<p>Let’s be real, I can’t be part of this Anti-Stupidity club because I do more stupid things that I do smart things.</p>

15

<p>Where’s the Stupidity Club? I need to join that.</p>

16

<p>I’d love to join! I got this gem from a history elective: Is Appalachia a country?</p>

17

<p>^ Well, Appalapachia is a kindness facility in space. ;]</p>

<p>Either way, I’ve always been put off by arrogance.</p>

People act with imperfect information. Stupidity is almost universally a matter of opinion, and even then it’s a matter of degrees.</p>

<p>

A calculated risk for a tangible benefit. You have more chance of being mauled by a bear if you go outside, or getting hit by a car if you cross the road. You may be risk-averse and think that risk-seeking individuals are “stupid”, but you engage in plenty of risky behaviors; who’s to say you’re not just as “stupid”? Is “stupid” now a popularity contest, where the opinion of the majority (or the average of all opinions) is what counts? Or do you get to decide what counts as “stupid”? It is your club, after all.</p>

<p>

It doesn’t sound like they’re the idiots; you’re the one who got hit with a soccer ball. Have you ever just sat down, looked at the things that happen to you, and think that maybe you share some of the blame for the bad things that happen to you? No, seriously.</p>

<p>

It sounds to me like this is more of a “vent your irrational frustrations and pet peeves” club, and you have an irrational frustration or pet peeve associated with people who either (a) are more risk-seeking than yourself or (b) are less interested in academics. I, for one, have an irrational frustration or pet peeve with ignorant, whiny high schoolers who complain about how hard it is trying to be model students when their peers don’t seem to care. In fact, that’s just about the only reason I come to the High School Life subforum.</p>

<p>All that being said, I’d love to join the club. My first iniative will be to have the name changed as previously described.</p>

<p>Lol why the debate here? This is intended as a lighthearted thread. </p>

<p>And what’s “elitist” about disliking stupid actions? I am discriminating against these actions? Surely, their inanimate feelings will not be hurt too badly. </p>

<p>Smart people sometimes do stupid things… lol no one is immune. </p>

<p>Soccer fans don’t get so offended! I have nothing against soccer itself, lol. But when some dirks are kicking around a soccer ball (with pretty awful aim) during my PreCalculus class and I get whacked in the head from behind while I’m trying to work, do you expect me to just say “It’s cool guys! I should have used the eyes in the back of my head to see your game, which is more important than what the teacher has to say, so it’s my fault. Keep on playing!”
