Scientists are currently trying to prove that humans are getting dumber, not more intelligent as we've been led to believe. Selection occurs now not because of intellect and the ability to outwit a predator, but rather due to a being's stronger immune system and overall health. Many of our senses have taken a back seat because we simply don't utilize them as was necessary so many hundreds of years ago. We are taught to focus our attention on learning specific subjects instead of thinking and musing about a variety of topics. No longer do discussions about ideas take precedence over the highest grades and accumulation of degrees. This being the case, I can see how people are just getting more and more fucktarded by the minute. Since there is a whole lot more stupid in the world and tons of competition to be the smartest person, we have folks trying quite comically to sound smarter than they actually are.
1. Mocking the existence of God: Yes, Atheists, I am attacking you again. It's one thing to just feel like you don't have enough empirical evidence to support the existence of a deity. I understand that completely. Making fun of what you don't actually understand just serves to prove your lack of intelligence. Rolling your eyes and scoffing at the beliefs of others doesn't make you smarter than they are, it does make you meaner and more rude. Unless you can prove otherwise, then you really can't poke fun at someone who finds comfort and solace in religion. Reading Richard Dawkins and thinking it makes your IQ higher is like reading the Bible and thinking it will make you a saint. You spend an awful lot of time trying to convince a believer that they shouldn't...yet they spend nary a second attempting to make you believe. Who's the fool?
2. Incessantly correcting the trivial: People, by nature of being human, make mistakes. Even I, hard as it may be to believe, make the occasional error. Shit happens, you fuck up. Blonde and senior moments are a part of life, accept it. No one is perfect. The world would be an excruciatingly boring place if we were all mistake-free. Who would we laugh at without the occasional eruption of buffoonery? So, when someone tells their child to zip up their jacket when it's cold outside so they don't get sick, it's not your job to remind them that colds are caused by viruses NOT cooler temperatures. Most of us know this little factoid, but that niggling voice in the back of our heads which sounds uncannily like our mother's, forces us to zip that child's jacket...just in case. Do you think you have the testicular fortitude to argue with MY mom's logic? Even the great Immanuel Kant would have deferred to her innate wisdom and kept his face hole shut.
3. Addressing the tone rather than the content: I've had this one pulled on me so many times, I can almost see it coming before the asshole opens their yap. While my dad would always tell me that it's not what you say, it's how you say it...I call bullshit. Take my meaning from the actual content of the words I've used, then infer whatever you'd like from the tone. Unless, of course, you are so fucking stupid that you haven't a clue what I'm saying. But, if you are living in my world and breathing my air, you'd better have a working knowledge of the English language. What I find, though, is that people who address the tone either have no idea what you are saying or can't come up with something intelligent as a reply because they have no knowledge of the topic. Again, a mouth-breather.
4. Use of obscure and usually, inappropriate vocabulary: I know far too many people guilty of this crime. Having a large word bank to draw from is a wonderful thing. Knowing how and when to use those words requires an understanding of what those lovely words mean. Folks who like to bandy the one hundred dollar words about usually use them in the wrong context. Why is that? Because they don't know what the fuck they mean. So, then when they speak, and it's usually regarding topics with which they are totally unfamiliar, gigantic words spew from their cakehole and make no sense whatsoever. Here's a little tip, use smaller words that you actually KNOW and you won't sound quite so fucktarded.
Know your limitations. When you try to punch above your intellectual weight, it shows. Those of us who are more intelligent can almost smell you coming. The stench of stupid is strong. Not only is it embarrassing for you when you try so hard to look smart and you face plant, but it's grossly uncomfortable for those around you. Save me the fucking headache of having to listen to the dumb fall out of your face...save everyone in your general proximity. We know you aren't smart, why don't you? Admitting it is the first step. Are you friggin kidding me right now???
