want to hear my proof that ignorance is bliss?

Question

ever seen a depressed retarded person? of course not. ever seen a depressed kid? not really, unless they've been through traumatic events. get it? kids and retarded people KNOW LESS therefore they are happier. they live in their own little fantasy world, basically.

i'm not saying that you're NECESSARILY an idiot if you're really happy, but i'm saying it's very likely. i don't think it's a coincidence that intelligent people are known to be depressed more often. they think and know more, so they know how dumb people are and how much the world sucks. ignorance really is bliss!

now bring on the rude hateful ignorant comments about how i should kill myself etc. because i said that.

Answer 2

i won't resort to name calling, but that is a pretty ignorant "?" in the sense of "ignorance" as its definition of LACKING KNOWLEDGE.
i personally know a young lady with down's syndrome who has the full range of happiness and sadness, despite her mental age having only equalled that of a 5 year old.
please, understand that in using the word ignorance or ignorant, that doesn't make one STUPID. i am, for example totally ignorant when it comes to the field of quantum physics, ok?
if you do indeed know someone who's mentally challenged (to be politically correct), you will note they can be either happy or unhappy, unless they are in a vegatative state.

Answer 3

youre right. and when they say.... "stop fighting like babies" that doesnt make sense to me. little kids dont even fight, they forget about it! and ive known adults who've went years without talking to each other.... adults are way worse than kids.
