FINE, he will tell you the same thing! which he did.

And they have children.... and they VOTE.....

Not only that they vote democratic!

I am so glad i am not the only one who has an occasional meltdown.I am a supervisor at an emergency shelter for children and i hear some of the dumbest stuff. It helps to vent sometimes. Donna

Stupid people are indeed multiplying. I mean, looks at the threads we are all writing in sheer frustration of how stupid people are.

I've had people eat their suppositories, put their contraceptive jelly on their toast in the morning, drink their enemas, cram a suppository up their back side not realizing the aluminum foil wrapper should be removed first.... the list is endless.

People are stupid, no way around it.

Having been in the automotive industry for a while, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have met so many mind-numbingly stupid people. Can we get a mandatory minimum IQ test before these people are allowed to reproduce? Is that so much to ask?

You have to take a test to drive a car, but not to have a kid.

Of course, that's because no one (including myself) knows who should manage the "parental permission" test. No one wants the gov't to do it.

What REALLY used to piss me off in that situation, was for my boss to cave and give the customer a discount, making me look like a moron....I do not miss retail in any way, shape or form!!!

Instead of a minimum IQ test I propose prospective parents should be:

Required to file an environmental impact report pertaining to the child.

Put up a $50,000 interest bearing bond so the child will be able to go to college if they so choose (if they do not choose to do so the money will go into a national fund similar to Soc. Sec. or it will be invested in various government bonds and stocks that cannot be withdrawn until they reach retirement age).

I have more ideas but those are the two main ones staying on topic.

I completely agree. Give this guy a medal! :clap2:

Does it bother you to think your own parents likely could not have done that, could not have afforded you???

I couldn't have at the time I had kids, but all 3 are well educated--2 of the 3 with degrees...all being productive members of society.

Scares me to think of the only ones who would be able to afford to reproduce at will...

Oh yeah. Some people even claim titles they are not entitled to, or make up official-sounding but bogus names to enhance their prestige.

Yup! And then we get to mock the dumb-asses. :whoo:

I heard that some people were so obnoxious, websites were put up about them!

And they are VERY interesting. Too bad they can't be linked from certain messageboards (not LBT). If they could, it might open a few eyes!

Doubtful. Those that create their own reality also go along with the reality created by others on line.
