First 40 mins of video....Invented in France, the scale of Stupidity: Idiot
Imbecile
Moron
Borderline Deficiency
Dull Normal
Average
Superior
Very Superior
Genius Media in our society 'dumb' things down. Stupid is good and keeps bright people 'liked'. We are all stupid. The 'dummy box' (TV) helps us to veg out. Information overload is stressful. Interesting, if you have the time to watch and decent speakers to HEAR and a computer that has a cooling fan that doesn't come on every 9 minutes!!! Thanks, HSC  IP: Logged |

Mmm, koiflower, I wouldn't say bright people are necessarily liked. The stupider one is, the more successful one is likely to be. No-one likes a person who is more intelligent or cleverer than them, it's too much competition. Which is why as many extremely stupid people, as bright people, seem to be successful. Stupid people are safe to promote. Bright people have too many ideas of their own. IP: Logged |
