Do stupid people deserve more attention than regular folk?

at work, at school, in our neighbourhoods, at the drive through, etc, wherever we may encounter them.... :evilgrin: ;)

1. Since it doesn't affect me at all, I'm not sure.

What's your opinion? ;-)

2. Other...

Just to be safe around them. If they are not around, let Mr. Darwin care for them.

3. Reality shows would be nothing without them

I mean my god! how do they find their way out of their houses?

4. They shouldn't...

but they are often the ones that make the most noise...it's the squeaky wheel syndrome with them.

5. IA Native American Told Me Something Extraordinary Once

It's very simple however it speaks volumes of wisdom. When a tribe member breaks a tribal law or has issues, the Tribal leader would walk up to that person, place his hand on their shoulder and tells him or her that they must leave. In a symbolic gesture, members of that tribe turn their backs to the ostricized, and pretend that person no longer exists, for their true spirit is lost, and must be found once again to regain tribal membership.

When an ignorant human speaks, or demands attention by using adolescent attempts to gain that attention, just ignore them. Get far away. Eventually that person is forced to deal with his or her own issues. It's hard as hell to do sometimes, however it is a peaceful way of dealing with that person, and may be benificial in the end to that person.

7. Other. Ignorance is curable.

I don't believe stupid is.
I tend to cut them some slack.

8. Yes, they do.

It's very hard to be ignorant in our society. The other day a young man approached me on BART (the subway) to ask for help. There was a map right behind us. I pointed it out, but could tell by his confused look that he couldn't read it. So I asked him where he wanted to go and told him what train to take. When the next train going in his direction came along, he tried to get on it. It was the wrong train. That's when I realized that this person, who was somewhere in his twenties, couldn't read. Couldn't read. Now, how hard would that be?

That said, the attitude of the orignal poster is the exact one that makes people turn away from the "elitist" Democrats, who, by the way, USED to be the party of the people, not just educated people who like to look down their noses at the less educated, and towards the Repukes, who at least don't scorn them to their faces for lack of book-learning.

9. Uh, what attitude is that?

I hardly look down at people, especially those not fortunate enough to know how to read. :eyes: I don't consider those who had the fortune to have had a good education smarter than those who haven't.

This post was done in the spirit of fun, so sorry my "elitist" opinions are turning away fine individuals from the democratic party. You don't know my opinions on most things, so don't presume.....

10. I think

they deserve more guidence. Sometimes people arent really stupid they just don't know how to approach things or they need things explained to them differently so that they can comprehend it better.

11. Stupid is not very PC

I just call them "Republican".. and yes, they can be educated given enough attention. *and sometimes they snap out of it on their own*
