That America/Iraq comment is true,but what the rest of the world calls "stupid" we call "government".Anyway, we have to remember that indeed everyone makes stupid moves at least once in a while,some of us daily,yet those same stupid people are the ones who raised us,the self-proclaimed philosophers of our time.We have to take control so that the next generation isn't as "stupid" as the past and present.

the most logical of people can still be stupid, the most simple of fools can be the happiest in life....(that might make him smart, or not...)
define it your way, or mine...

Stupidity will eventually weed out the mentally ineffecient from the human gene pool.
I enjoy seeing it as it works.


Also: people make mistakes. This does not mean they are stupid. It means they are flawed, mortal beings like the rest of us.

I do not believe in the phrase: "a stupid person". I've never seen or heard of anyone in my entire life who is incapable of learning anything at all which disqualifies them as stupid. No matter how slow or mentally challenged a person is, he or she is still capable of learning at least something which disqualifies them as stupid in my book. Even without certain senses it's still possible to learn.


For example look at Helen Keller. Helen Adams Keller was born on 27 June 1880 in Tuscumbia, a small rural town in Northwest Alabama, USA. When Helen was nineteen months old, she fell ill. To this day the nature of her ailment remains a mystery. The doctors of the time called it “brain fever”, whilst modern day doctors think it may have been scarlet fever or meningitis. Soon it was apparent that Helen’s illness had left her both blind and deaf. It was a common belief that without sight and hearing it was virtually impossible to learn hardly anything. Your brain needed that constant stimuli to learn. Thus, people started making reference to the deaf and blind as "dumb". History later proved Helen was anything but dumb. Anne Sullivan, Helen's teacher from an early age, tried desperately to get her to understand sign language by letting her feel the formation of the word with her hands within her own. Helen had until now not yet fully understood the meaning of words. When Anne led her to the water pump on 5 April 1887, all that was about to change.

As Anne pumped the water over Helen’s hand , Anne spelled out the word water in the girl’s free hand. Something about this explained the meaning of words within Helen, and Anne could immediately see in her face that she finally understood.

Helen’s progress from then on was astonishing. Her ability to learn was far in advance of anything that anybody had seen before in someone without sight or hearing. It wasn’t long before Anne was teaching Helen to read, firstly with raised letters and later with braille, and to write with both ordinary and braille typewriters.

Helen moved on to the Cambridge School for Young Ladies in 1896 and in the Autumn of 1900 entered Radcliffe College, becoming the first deafblind person to have ever enrolled at an institution of higher learning. On 28 June 1904 Helen graduated from Radcliffe College, becoming the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

On June 1, 1968, at Arcan Ridge, Helen Keller died peacefully in her sleep but her words still breath truth to this very day:

In Helen’s own words:

“The public must learn that the blind man is neither genius nor a freak nor an idiot. He has a mind that can be educated, a hand which can be trained, ambitions which it is right for him to strive to realise, and it is the duty of the public to help him make the best of himself so that he can win light through work.”

This in my mind's eye means no one is incapable of learning even to the point when handicaps or our senses are denied. No one is really "stupid", only uneducated with the possibility of learning more. Given the right situation anyone can learn something.
