Should idiots be allowed in public?

[countrygirl12]

I guess my subject sounds harsh. lol.  I was at work last night and this guy came in and was rambling his stupidity.  I am still mad this morning.  I didn't say anything last night but something along the line of that is an interesting concept.

He says that the Pentagon was NOT hit by a plane.  It was bombed by the US government.  He says that 747s carrying passengers did NOT fly into the twin towers.  HE SAYS the US government bombed the twin towers and flew cargo jets into the towers ""just to see what would happen IF an attack like that were really carried out"".

I am trying to forget the conversation because it makes me more and more mad every time I think about it.  HOW can anybody be that stupid?  A LOT of innocent people died and it irritates me that somebody can be so stupid as to say stuff like what he did.

The problem with idiots in public, is who decides who could and who couldn't, I guess some of us might think no one could go out and others might think we are the issue.... no real answer to this one, just one of those things we all have to get a giggle out of and go on with life.

I guess.  It just irritates me that people can be so stupid.  It's like he was saying 9-11 didn't happen. Kind of like people who say that the Holocaust didn't happen.  Both were very real.  The guy who cornered me and talked to me last night said a bunch of other stuff too.  I didn't go into detail.  Saying stuff wasn't real.  Like the government shut down.  HE SAYS it's not really shut down.  It's just a fake thing the government is doing to see what would happen IF they really had to shut down some time in the future.  I just don't see how people can be so ignorant.

People can really be frustrating sometimes. It's best to try to let the aggravation go when that happens.

Just because people have unusual opinions, doesn't mean they can't go out in public.   You can't let yourself get derailed by every one who crosses your path.

Who gets to decide who is an Idiot?

[gaylasue]

The problem with identifying idiots is that they hard to detect right off because they tend to blend in with everyone else.  You usually have to wait until you hear them say something.  Then it is usually obvious.

There's no "decision" to be made. It's clear who the idiots are but today, we have to pretend that some people aren't smarter than others. Even if you can't articulate it, internally you know who's an idiot and who's not. I know when someone's smarter than me and can acknowledge that, but I also know when someone just isn't. An idiot doesn't have that view point because they think everyone is on the same level and therefore have the same shot at being the smartest person in the room. They're just wrong.

It's not about being a genius, it's about having basic reasoning skills. This can be tested to weed out the idiots. We can put them on an island somewhere after that...

what rules are you using to say is an idiot and the other is not?

[dkanofsky]

Now now, it's not nice to talk about our Congress that way.

[dancer139]

You have "idiots"   and then you have the "Real Idiots".     it sounds like that person is one of them extremely real idiots, who only wants attention.  its a shame those kinds of people are only out seeking attention.

we all know what happened that day.  A very sad day to say the least.
