Most people aren't dumb....they are ignorant and indifferent.

How do you know that most people are dumb? What do you consider dumb?
Albert Einstein was one of the dumbest kids in school but yet he was a genius. So would you call him dumb to his face if he where alive today.
I didn't get good grades in high school and I made the mistake of dropping out. 15 years later I got my GED, went to college, did two research projects and have my research published. I graduated with honors and held a 3.58 grade point average. I did this while raising three children and working four part time jobs. I also double majored and did four years of college in two and a half years. I averaged over 15 credit hours a semester. So would you consider me dumb?
Just remember we all make dumb decisions in life and I am sure you probably can think of one or more of your own lapse in judgement.

Dumb means unable to speak. I think you mean "stupid," don't you?
The range of intellect in the human tribe is from very low to very high. It follows a bell shaped curve, where there are few people who are have very low intellect and a very few who have very high intellect. Are you following this? The vast majority lie somewhere in the middle. Also, everyone cannot be an expert in everything; some are better spellers, some excel at math, others can read anything! Some people never really learn to read at all, they may have a disorder like dyslexia (the inability to read) but can do math in their head.

Dumb by definition means that they lack the ability of being smart. This isn't the case. People act stupid - which means they have the capacity for learning, they choose not to. However, if you're thought was people are dumb because they don't agree with your viewpoint, well that's just ignorant.

Don't let the people who call you dumb put you down you are not dumb,
you can not tell that by reading one sentence that you have exclaimed in your entire life.
They are dumb, becuz they have to much superstition, mythology, b.s.thinking that its cool to have more money and smile about it when a kid on the streets has no home or parents and is alone.
Keep smiling, that's the smart thing to do? :(*** holes)

Because civilization no longer goes by the rule of survival of the fittest. We have emergency rooms and they allow the dumb people to live and to multiply, making more dumb people.

Most people are not dumb.Most have a reason and logic for their actions. their logic may differ from yours and you may not perceive it . therefore you may think they are dumb. It is quite possible that , sometime your own logic/ reasoning may be faulty and others may perceive you as dumb. Think about it.

Dumb and good looking genes are passed on to children.
Chidren grow up, looking good, and dumber.
Cycle repeats.
