The Power Of Stupidity

[Babbler]

First Law

Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

Second Law

The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

Third (and Golden) Law

A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

Fourth Law

Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.

Fifth Law

A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

Oh so true. I sometimes get the impression that 80 % of the Western World's population is stupid. I also think that the reason nobody realizes this is because the stupid people are too stupid to realize this, and the smart people don't see how many stupid people there are.

I really think this should be the Golden Law of Stupidity.

 

[RegentMan]

Ouchies if you're... um... stupid, I guess. Funny in a serious sort of way, if that makes sense.

80% of the Western World's population is stupid? I think you're still underestimating the number of stupid people in circulation

I don't understand. What's this thread trying to say exactly?

Actually it is quite politically correct to think 80% of the Western World is made up of idiots.

Anyone who has seen the Three Stooges knows this to be a fact. Say, if this is counts as science, then the Three Stooges must count as a scientific documentary.

I'd say stupidity knows no borders and it doesnt distinguish between gender, race, culture and belief system

I cannot stand stupid people. Whenever I'm out at the fuel station at Kroger when I'm working, you will not believe the people who cannot count to 8, when they have a five dollar bill in their hands and two ones...
