Stupidity

Lets here your opinions on 'stupidity'. Personally I think stupidity isn't something that truly exists, I think everyone has stupidity in a certain subject, but are very intelligent in another subject.

But then again i think everyone has that friend that really isn't that bright.

I'm kinda split on this. I will come back when i have thought more about it.

To quote the mom of a good friend who is a teacher: People are not stupid, they are ignorant

You share my same opinion on this topic.
I do not think being stupid is possible.

Ignorant is basically the same thing, lol. Sometimes people make wrong choices doesn't mean they're ignorant or stupid, it just means they made a wrong choice and they shouldn't be looked down upon.

I don't think someone can be stupid. I think someone can overlook things and miss see what should be done and replace it with there own thoughts.

What you described is a opinion, I feel like everyone should have a right to a opinion though. No matter if it's right or wrong you're still entitled to have it.

Well, let me elaborate my thought a little bit further, since my quote above was roughly translated using Google (English is not my native language)... This is the scenario:

Max, who is 20 years old and a college-student with the typical attitude that college-students have, asks Tom, who is 40 years old, to calculate 1+1.
Tom says he does not know how to do that, the reaction of Max is simple: He calls Tom stupid, because Tom is a 40 year old man but doesn't even
know the most simple mathematics. What Max doesn't know, is that Tom never learned to do maths, regardless of the reasons he had.

The word I tried to use, was uneducated, instead of ignorant.
If we take the human as Jean-Jacques Rousseau (philosopher) described, as a fresh and simple-minded individual, he would not know
how to do mathematics. If we put this human into a scheme of our current modern society, he would be called stupid, even if he is simply uneducated.

I hope you understand my point now :P

Stupid people are just people who don't bother learning anything to better themselves. They don't care about grammar or speech, so then they sound stupid. They don't learn very much, so all they can do is basic tasks, but don't have any real professions (most of the time). They usually work at simple jobs like McDonalds, gas stations, and other fast food joints. They never cared enough to improve their level of intelligence, or focus on learning something that mattered.

Stupid people = People who could be smart, but don't bother to be.

Stupid people are a blessing... Who would I buy a quick pop from?
