The 5 Basic Laws of Human Stupidity

Maybe people act stupid just to get someone to talk to them, just to get attention.
Or maybe they appear stupid because they don't get it straight away.

That's the way you see it, which is pretty brilliant as I see it.

But, dear poster, I did both agree and disagree. Am I correct and incorrect, agreeable and disagreeable or in touch with higher truth and its apparent paradoxical nature when encountered by the profane consciousness?

All because stupidity is in the eye of the beholder.
If you think someone is stupid and you teach them and stupid is in the eye of the beholder then you are going to both end up in the ditch.
What you need to understand is that just because you do not understand it does not make others stupid.

How does a closed minded person kNow they are closed minded?

Answer: They don't!

You clearly don't and your ramblings prove it!

'Tis well known that one sees with one's brain and not one's eyes. I'll not tolerate anachronisms.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case.

Most have that eYe closed.

I don't think mankind is very smart at all. Sure kinowledge has increased, as man has walked upon the earth through many experiences, mostly from the Ancient of Days. But knowledge can't trump stupidity.

What would happen if suddenly one morning, someone went to the store only to find out the government had ordered a lock down on every store in America. I mean all stores, Dept.to Food chains, independant grocers.
Everything from Bullocks and Macys to Seven Eleven and AM PM.

Most Americans would starve to death. Control the food, Control the people = POWER.

This whole system we have let rule our lives. Is a very rigid and scary thing indeed. It seems as tho it is geared ttowards some kind of mass kill off. At the end of it's days. And that day will come.

I just noticed you are just north of where I am.

As to this being geared towards sumthing, you are correct.

To contradict without is to be uncontradictory within.

Keep it up!

I'm stepping it up and bringing in the troops. It was all a last resort option. I was going to keep this ATS incarnation free of overt occultism but that was total fail. Damn.

ATS used to be fun long time ago...but with this kind of threads C'mon!

ATS used to be a conspiracy theory site where people came to discuss information and to dig for the truth...now is becoming a joke wall of expression.

wasn't BTS meant for this??

it's so stupid!

'Stupid' is based on your own perspective. Consider this.

Stupid is in the eYe of the beholder.

However, ignorance is the lack of knowledge and stupid is the lack of logic, so is logic perceptual?

The quality of the stupid has diminished since a couple years ago. I originally signed up to have stupid with a bit less advertising. People were a bit more open to stupid and willing to understand it.

ATS used to be a conspiracy theory site where people came to discuss information and to dig for the truth...now is becoming a joke wall of expression.

There does seem to be a mild push from the membership to somehow bring credibility back to this site. The main problem is that it never really had any.

No.

Agreeable.

I saw on eBay the other day that someone was selling stupid.
I was about to put in a bid, but found out that I could get it on Craigslist for free...

But it was free shipping on Ebay and you had to pay shipping on Craigslist.
