(well, I don't have much space to explain this, so here's what i'll give you:)
It is apparent to me that America has become highly populated with ingorant fools. Now before anyone is quick to get offended, just take a moment to yourself and think how many stupid people you know or have encountered.
Quite a few, eh?
Well I don't have anything specifically against stupid people, some of them can't help it. I just think that less intelligent people need to realize their position, and that they can not go around acting out as they please.
As an alternative to extermination or deportation (my other solutions to this problem), should we create a seperate defined social class for the less intelligent people?
Now before I go into a long rant about this, I would just like you to set aside the American law system and the Bill of Rights for now, and instead give me your personal opinion.
What do you think?

Where have you been all of my life?
Yes, absolutely, Harvard has been trying for how long now?
I just think about how lucky i am to have the stupids making my cheeseburger instead of trying to figure out how to sew my arm back together- analagy sucks, but you get it huh?
They really don't get too far, they still have to live amoung us though, we just have to deal for now. Hey, it gives us something to think and talk about! See they are good for some things.

There are people that some refer crudly as being stupid. The term typically implies those people who do not have the mental capacity to think or learn. There are other people who are ignorant meaning they have the capacity to learn, the resources, and opportunity and don't take advantage of it. Those that would be considered stupid (the mentally retarded) actually fair better than most people as they are protected by state and federal laws pertaining to almost every aspect of their lives. Also, their financial, medical, and social needs are typically better because they qualify for so many benefits and are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone that would try to manipulate, extort, or abuse them. This all came about as a result of government seeing the need to protect the rights of those who are incapable of helping themselves. Society is judged not by how it treats the best but the least. As for those who are ignorant. They have already typically placed themselves in a lower socio-economic class so what's your point. Are you suggesting that we adopt social norms and laws based on those norms that would eliminate the disadvantaged and handicapped. What next? I don't even want to think about where your heads at.

I think you're confusing "stupid" and "ignorant". Because if you're asking about separating those with lower IQ's that's not cool. It's not their fault- we should help these people. Some people I'm sure aren't very bright are super nice people (hey I know I'm one of them- heh heh). But I do agree in that people who choose to be ignorant to other people just for the sake of being assholes, they deserve to be put somewhere where they can all just be miserable to each other. Or people who do stupid things- like think they're qualified to run for president of the USA, these people should all live together on like Alcatraz or something.

Well,you'd have fitted right in with the Nazis-for they felt superior and then made lower classes, at first. Their beef was Jews,Homos,Bisexual,handicapped,special needs,anyone not German.While at first they were satisfied just setting anyone not them,the elite, into the lower class-for they alone were the higher class. Then later with the Final Solution-came the extermination of anyone not them-the elite. We all know what happened to them,don't we. In the Bible it says that if you put Yourself(not asked to do so by the host) at the head of the table then the Host-GOD - will put you last. Enough said.

I think only a stupid person is stupid enough to think that he's more intelligent than the other person.Even a stupid person can do or know something that a supposed intelligent person can't. In fact, its the stupidiest person who's capable enough to stupidly think that stupid person ought to be clssified. They are the lowest kind!

what is your classification of an ignorant fool? And if we made classes for every specific type of person then we would look like a nation of fools. Would you create a classification for assholes, how about liars, what about cheating sons of a biatches.?

If we made a class for the stupid, nearly everyone in the US would be in it, so what's the point?? I mean, I know some smart people, but the majority. . .

No. I don't find this any different from what Hitler was attempting to do during the Holocaust, which, among other things, was to create a society that fit with his narrow minded ideals.
