Can America survive stupid?

[Moonbeam]

So I hate myself but have an ego the size of Manhattan. Can you just imagine what the size of my ego would be if I loved myself?

Yes, you wouldn't have any. You would know that self-hate and ego are not inversely proportional as the ignorant mind might think. We create ego to substitute for real self respect so the greater the self abnegation the greater the false pose of ego.

Remember too that modesty is the cure for folk with ego, but is meaningless to folk who love themselves. They do not exist on the ego-modest continuum. How others see them is dependent on the ego state of the seer. You can neither flatter or harm a person with no ego with words.

Again you demonstrate some of the conditions of the CBD, the conservative fixation on the disgusting. This happens because, again, you were made to conform as a child by the threat of being called disgusting. You project what terrifies you on to me so that you can feel you are facing down evil. But again, it's only the reflection of your hidden feelings of inferiority. You are not disgusting and you can't make me feel that way. I went through all that shit too.

Definitely stupid and very wasteful - shoot - my mom was telling me of companies her company does business with - and one overpaid by 50K and one overpaid by 300K and BOTH companies told them to just keep it...

it is similar to how our government handles money...

I don't know how they stay in business. This nation has no financial smarts - from the individual to the governmental level this is a major issue in our nation.

If you need more examples of the STUPID, watch Rachael Maddow, or the free podcast from friday's show 10/24.
Maddow opens with a little example of the STUPID I speak of.
Darrell Issa. Case extraordinaire!
Darrell Issa will head a committee on Ebola, of all things.
God save us...
Issa confuses a South American country with an African country when addressing Ebola.
Claims the doctors are all wrong and Ebola can be transmitted by air.
By sitting on a bus. By sitting on a subway.
Forget the doctors or the facts. Issa knows better.
And to top it off, Issa has trouble confusing Ebola with Escherichia coli (E-Coli) virus.
Darrell Issa. In his own words. Rachael Maddow 10/24. Roll the video!
Pretty fricking amazing stupidity at its best.
Only on Maddow.

Then, Maddow has a segment about voter fraud from Fox news.
Fox video of some Hispanic guy in AZ stuffing a ballot box with several ballots.
Problem was after all the Fox hysteria, and after going viral on right wing blog sites, turns out the video is not from this election after all, but from some past election.
But this is Fox News, so who needs the facts...
And, as was later pointed out to Fox, this is perfectly legal in AZ. A law signed into law by its republican gov. Which allows, and exactly what this Hispanic fellow was doing, allows a person to collect absentee ballots from registered legal voters and deliver them to a poll location. Which is all this Hispanic guy was doing. Kinda just like a mail man.
(Those dirty bastards. Collecting and delivering.)

The STUPID is going to take over. Everyone knows that, right?
I can see into the future....
All members of congress are from the STUPID party.
The citizens swallow everything they hear, swallow everything they are told, and swallow every nonsense idea pushed by the STUPID.
I mean, who is going hold the STUPID accountable?
The media? The press? lmao Yeah...Right.

So there we are 20 years from now
STUPID runs the country.
Everyone buys into it.
STUPID is no longer the danger, it becomes our culture. A business.

But still... a few manage to survive.
A few that still can think, reason, and determine right from wrong.
Groups of people with a brain.
Small groups of people.
They meet in hidden places. They live in caves. They have a secret handshake. The use code words. They have special membership tattoos.
And when discovered by the STUPID, they are arrested and jailed.

Well come to think of it, maybe not 20 years from now.
Maybe just a little over a week from now?
Like November 4th.

You want to know what's stupid? Citizens with no excuse to not inform themselves on the issues and citizens who don't vote in the mid terms. Every 4 years we get the hardcore base of the Republican Party doing their due diligence and voting during the mid terms while a majority of Americans stay home.

Stupid is letting a vocal minority control the country and then complaining about it even though you didn't even bother to vote.

We are already a culture of stupid. When 80% of the country can support action against a country who had no part in an act of terrorism against us (they were of Saudi nationality for Christ sakes), we've become a nation of idiots.

No, that is what your response, and most of them for that matter, are equivalent to.

I agree.

Wait. So all of this is Romney's fault? what the hell does he have to do with anything you posted OP? Lol

He invented Obamacare.

 

[Matt1970]

He invented Obamacare.

Only when referencing the increase in premiums, loss of your doctor, loss of your hospital, loss of your insurance and it being rammed down our throats in the middle of the night can you say it was originally a Republican plan.

Oh my gosh. This is terrible. You poor victim. But then that rammed down your throat in the middle of the night could just be the boogie man under the bed or a bad case of sleep apnea. You might try a chin strap and a nose thingi to open your nostrils.

thats a huge problem for america in my opinion...a class of people who only know how to demand free stuff and hold their hands out the the gov't. America a very rich country but how long can this class of people be maintained on welfare and EBT?

Saudi Arabia and Dubai in general seem to have been running very well that way a long time now with all the big oil support.

Its not stupidity. Its because rich people control too much. They have influence over too many important things. They serve their interests first, of course. And why shouldn't they? As long as they keep it barely legal, they are fine. Problem not found until chaos in the streets.
You do realize its going to take something very severe, like nation wide chaos and bloody protests, right? Nothing less will force the rich to hand over some power and for laws to change in the favor of the people.

Pretty good point actually.

Human nature. Coddled people are going to take their power to vote for-granted. "Everyone knows this." I heard being dropped on your head makes one particularly easy to agitate. I'm kidding of course I never really meant to single you out so much as poke fun at all this CBD nonsense.

Stupid increases fitness these days are you kidding me!

The most well off people I know drive backhoes and machine metal and drive trucks and are paying down mortgages at age 24 on like $20-30/hr meanwhile everybody else is happy with $500/mo in student loans and happy being a moms basement dwelling barista or per diem $10dollahour analytic chemist test yo samples super good and fast I promise.

The ones who are really screwed are the ones who went to the university of pheonix for phrenology and theology. For $10 look at someones head and tell you their religion pls super bad $200,000 in laons will work for cheap.

But at least they are doing better than dentists who push teeth whitening harder than a used car salesman pushes a corolla with 100,000 miles.
