Full Version: Why stupidity is so popular.

Have you ever noticed that many stupid and immature people are the most popular? They set the trends. Maybe that's why the country is going down these days.

The media follows the violence and dumbasses as well, which doesn't help. Most people find the break of social norms funny. It's been that way for a while.

Violence is a part of human nature. I suppose because we are all attracted to violence and rash thoughts that seem brave or heroic, the stupidest people become leaders.

People like things that are familiar or similar to themselves.

Hahaha. But not many people like George Bush. The polls were rigged.

Unluckily for you I'm not a mod. Brothers hate little sisters.

'Course that would be an abuse of power...

I do not understand the hate between siblings...I have 3 brothers and a sister and we get along more than fine. In fact, you could never tell that they are my step-brothers and sister...

Brothers like friends, and that could also be an abuse of power.
Lucky for you. I'm sooooo happy. sleep.gif
Edit: He doesn't hate me, he hates me talking on the forum. But he will nag if I won't go on. Actually, I have no idea why he's so rude on the forums to me. Maybe to impress his friends. Anyhow, time to go annoy him.

I'm confused about the first part of this post. It does not make sense to me after reading it through multiple times.

Meh... my two brothers and I get along okay... usually we just stay out of each others' ways and we call it good. When you start living around people you get exposed to more of their faults and that can cause friction. (Off topically, saying that just reminded me I have a physics problem to do...) And maybe it's built in subconsciously, like we were jealous when our younger siblings got more attention then us when they were just born, and this feeling stays and affects how we view them.

About the stupidity thing... no clue. People are born ignorant. No clue how stupid people got to the top. Might be because there are many of them and they use mob psychology. I wonder what happens if we deport all stupid people to their own remote island...?

Then it would be overcrowded and they'd all die off. The rest of us will either go mad and kill ourselves or create a Utopian society free from all forms of government.

Well government doesn't have to be stupid. It is a nice idea even if current executions may be flawed. The thing is, government is needed to maintain peoples' rights. Without this function, society would be at the mercy of the first person who sees fit to violate others' rights.

Well, that person would be thrown onto the island, wouldn't he/she?

Yeah, like the trend of using crappy Nintendo products.
