All of us, every day, function in close proximity to The Stupid. I capitalized the term to illustrate the privileged position that The Stupid occupy in our society. The power of The Stupid was revealed to me today; by virtue of their inability to process information, The Stupid are empowered to ignore completely any sound argument the Non-Stupid put forth to them. I discovered this in today, when I broke my rule of never engaging The Stupid in logical discussion. The Stupid and I went round and round in a sick dance in which I repeated my argument (ten times!) in every way I could possibly think to make him understand, and he repeated his argument in exactly the same way - ten times. By the end, I was irritated to the point of striking him. He had broken me, and made me just as Stupid as he.
Categories of Stupid:
1.The Wily Stupid - Like the one I dealt with today, they will pull you into their web of Stupidity and make you one of them.
2.The Hateful Stupid - These are malicious. Even when they don't understand what mean thing they have said/done, they do understand that they are being harmful in some way.
3.The Drunken Stupid - Most of us have been this.
4..The Happy Stupid - They are happy to be stupid and to know that you think that they're stupid.
5.George W. Bush
