Oh, Idiocracy is freakin' hilarious!! (a tad irritating at times, but hilarious) It's also an excellent example -- and the sad part is this: the idiots it's aimed at usually don't get it!

No the sad part is we're probably headed in that direction as a society. It's not a comedy, it's a fucking horror movie.Originally posted by Sperry Chick View PostOh, Idiocracy is freakin' hilarious!!

Well, I can't argue there -- I'd say the odds are certainly high...Comment

The plot of Idiocracy is nothing new. I read about it in a science fiction novel when I was about 16. I agreed with it then, and I still do. With no prejudice intended, the Mexicans around here tend to have children in litters, way too many for the parent(s) to handle, so they grow up wild, without education or manners. Most of them don't speak English, so they don't have much of a future. Maybe rednecks are the same way, and Hillbillies definitely are, but they do tend to teach respect for others, possibly because they are into religion. They teach their children to use firearms responsibly, not to use them to kill each other, as is taught on television.
The problem that I have with stupid people is that they usually end up in government agencies, or answering the telephone for tech support, utilities, etc. I can't communicate with them, because they don't understand "big words", irony, or puns. I have often had to ask others to interpret for them "at the GED level". Some of them don't speak much English. As an example, I once put a sign on the door that said, "Before you knock on my door, I am not buying anything, I don't want to hear about Jesus, and I'm not accepting visitors. Don't practice self-annhiliation at my door. Kindly practice self-fornication, elsewhere." Did the Jehova's witlesses and the salesmen (sometimes the dichotomy escapes me) quit knocking on the door? Nope. I pull the same bullshit that the Mexicans do...I speak to them in French, and tell them that I don't speak English. One seafood salesman was actually stupid enough to walk up and down the street yelling, "Does anyone speak French?" I just closed the door.
I believe that prejudice ends at the point where my attempts to communicate are met with conneries. (I don't know if that is a word in English or not, but it fits perfectly. The best translation is "senseless, idiotic answers or comments".) Perhaps the person on the other end of the conversation feels the same way, but I'm the one who went to the trouble to educate myself. In this country, everyone has the ability to do so.

If it helps you, your self absorbed, small minded, and excessive posting really ruins the experience of this website for me.Originally posted by Morella View Post
Be informed, that your response to me will be met with my silence. I really don't care what you say. I rarely view threads that you start or post in, due to the fact that I might just read one word you type accidentally, and lose hope because this planet is lost in your worldy ignorance(intentional oxymoron).Comment
