Should idiots be allowed in public?

Conspiracy theorists are the WORST.

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.   

Well even idiots have their own theories - doesn't necessarily mean they're right!!!

There's also a lot of crazy people out in public too.

Not on Weekends. That's When I Run Into Most Of Them. In The Walmart Parking Lot

The problem with your suggestion is how to describe who is an idiot.  From the commercials, I don't watch Toddlers & Tiaras, and I don't get why someone would waste time on something like that.  So, my opinion would be people who watch that are idiots while those people might think I'm an idiot cause I'm not giving this amazing show a chance.

I feel your pain! He would be hilarious if it were not such a serious issue he has chosen to contort. We all believe in some aspect or aspects of the 'Conspiracy Theory' regarding one or more incident (the JFK assasination; alien visitation,  Marilyn Monroe's death, etc.) but his 'beliefs' would sound bizarre to the average individual. It just goes to show that the old saying, "It takes all kinds to make a world." is correct!

Some people are strongly OPINIONATED and OUTSPOKEN.  Choose to be neutral so you can be grounded regardless of what's happening around you.  Let it go and consider the source so someone like that doesn't have the power to ruin your day.

Well, the sad thing is that there are a lot of these conspiracy theorist  people walking around on the face of the earth. 

I think that it's more of a mental illness that plagues these kinds of people than plain ol' average day stupidity.

CountryGirl, I hear you.

While I love reading conspiracy theories, there's a huge difference between questioning an official story, and believing that every single bad thing that happens is because the big, bad "gubmint" wants to take away our freedom/guns/whatever:

Aurora Shooting? False flag
Sandy Hook? False flag
Boston Marathon Bombing? False flag
Hurricane Sandy? Government did it with HAARP

It gets offensive to me, honestly. When you think of the families of those in the planes that are suffering the loss of their loved ones every day, to hear someone say that these family members are liars, and that their relatives never died is sickening.

I was stuck on a bus with one of these nutters coming back from the airport, who was going on and on and on about how everyone involved in Sandy Hook was a crisis actor. No one was listening to him, but it didn't matter. He was just going on, and on, and on.

  I dont know about anyone else, but I sure hope that this does not become a law, cause it would be very boring if I was stuck in the house all day...lol 

[tashamjoy]

I do not agree with you at all people have a right to their own opinions that does not make you an idiot!!!! It makes you human and free!!! Sorry but thats life and maybe I agree with them... you were not there you did not see who was driving the plane don't be so ignorant to just believe the government they can brainwash you to think whatever they want!!! And you should watch how you talk should idiots be in public !!! Are you going to lock "them" all up in their house? I could go on and on but Ill leave it at that for now

[smithjcsdfw]

We allow them all the time and call them politicians.  But the real answer is that some folks just say things to see how folks will react.  If you do not react than there is no fun in their game.  I learned a long time ago how to beat these folks at their game which is to apply physic to the problem.   Ya know mind over matter.  I don't mind and they don't matter.

[inertia4]

Yes, idiots can be in public but they don't belong in Congress. LOL.

First off i would like to say. Not one person is an "idiot" We all have good days and bad days. We all have The right to our opinions it is a God Giving Right.
Now if you Please Define the word "idiot" What makes a person a so called "idiot", Who are we to call anyone a "idiot". In my opinion no one person should be called a name. You really have no Idea what one person is going through and what is going on inside of their head.I belive everyone is entitled to their opinions. Weather they are true or not. Who is to say the person is wrong? Do we have proof that what they are saying is wrong? Do we have proof that he is right?Non the less who are we to stand up and call someone an outright "idiot" Didn't your mother ever tel you if you can't say anything nice then do not say it at all? You mentioned should an "idiot" be allowed in public?As far as that question is concerned that is a very hypocritical thing to say.Everyone should be allowed in public. They are human. They have the same rights as any other human as long as they are not hurting anyone then why should you be concerned about what they are doing?How would you like it if someone took away your rights to go out in public? How would you feel? Furthermore i belive In freedom of speech. It is a God Given right. People do not have the freedom of speech for nothing. It is a very important right. We should defend it till our dieing days. As long as the said person is not hurting anyone by what they are saying or doing then they should be able to say whatever they want. As stated before people have good days and people have bad days. Some people also have dissabilities and sometimes their are people who are not in the right state of mind and sometimes we loose track of what we are saying and tend to babble about nonsence but non the less. We are all human and deserve to be treated as a human and have equal rights.The definition of an idiot is a Person who being unable to learn connected speech or guard against common dangers. I don't like the word "idiot" because people tend to use the word wrongly to insult someone. But in turn the real idiot is the person who is using the word wrong without knowing the meaning of the word.

I’d rather be an idiot then some so called smart person who don’t stand up for a thing he or she sys they believes in and stays quiet all the time. Those type of people are just flat out cowards with no voice. The real idiots are the one’s who look but don’t act when something horrible is going on. They rather stay quiet think there smart without doing a thing for society but stay in that status quo. Real idiots also think people don’t need an opinion or should have one. Eh people with opinions actually get things moving , gets things done while the rest of you just talk about it. Some of your thoughts about who is an idiot and who is not are based off of other peoples opinion’s  which everyone has the right to have one.  Mostly bias statements but that’s your opinion so you it’s your right. Does it mean you’re the smart one not really does it mean you’re an idiot maybe not but if you rather be a sheep and go along with everything fine but that is the mark of a true idiot because you have no voice , stay quiet and do nothing.
