Think! Save the world from stupid people

My old buddy Laur H, and by old I mean I’ve known him for a long time, he’s actually pretty young, challenged me a while ago* to write about ten things that make me label people as stupid. Now, though I don’t care much for labeling people and I like to give them the benefit of the doubt because, as the blog header says, I’m not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me, here are a few things that will surely make me want to slap my “Hey, stupid!” stamp (remember this awesome stamp kit?) on people’s foreheads.

1. Homophobia – Guys, who usually have with beer guts and excessive body hair, screaming at the top of their lungs that male homosexuals are disgusting but lesbians are awesome because they probably watch girl on girl porn religiously. “I’m OK with gays as long as they don’t hit on me” – now there’s a line that never fails to induce vomit. Don’t worry, no respectable homosexual would ever glance in your direction, unless maybe with a great deal of pity, you ignorant ape! (no offence intended toward apes, they are lovely creatures) 

2. Religion – people who follow a set of beliefs blindly without ever having called them into question and who refuse logic arguments as to how manipulative and propagandistic the church (any church) is. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with spirituality and I think it’s great that people pick up good life principles and sound morals from religion, but we’re not sheep. You have a brain for a reason: use it! 

3. Racism – people who blindly hate and ostracize anyone who is not like them based on skin color or body features. I really hope you end up somewhere where you’re part of the discriminated minority. 

4. Hypocrisy – they’re everywhere and they love to preach but never practice. 

5. Know-it-alls – you know those people who have an answer for everything, who have principles, who are so much better, and good looking, and smarter than you, who will never ever admit they’re wrong and who think they’ve won an argument just because they can scream louder. 

6. Experts – those people who think they’re really good at what they do just because everyone else is too polite to tell them they suck and if they are told they think it’s personal. They usually have a stack of degrees from various courses they took just to add another line to their pathetic resumes. They’re the best and the coolest and other people are just envious and try to bring them down. They wouldn’t know constructive criticism if it kicked their sorry asses off a cliff. 

7. Leeches – people who only care about themselves and will use anyone in any way and stoop lower than you’d ever imagine was possible just to get ahead.

8. Lazy-asses – who feel entitled and expect everything to be handed to them ready-made and are never willing to work for anything. They do, however, put a lot of effort into complaining about how underappreciated they are. 

9. Workaholics/ Doormats – the opposite of lazy-asses, who work their butts off at jobs they don’t even like hoping someone will someday notice them and pat them on the back. They too put a lot of effort into complaining about how underappreciated they are but never do anything about it. Eventually, they burn out and die of exhaustion. 

10. Because stupidity cannot really be contained in a ten-item list because it comes in many shapes and sizes, I’ll end this with a well-known quote: “Stupid is as stupid does.”

*and by a while ago I mean I totally took my sweet time to respond but hey, better late than pregnant (yes, I am aware my jokes are totally lame, get over it)
