I'm serious, how much of a percentage of the people on this planet are stupid!? I'm talking no common sense and ignorance (not understanding). At least give me some statistics.

Those without the benefit of a formal education-37.9%
Those with formal college education-77.5%
But I also read somewhere that 87.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot....

My guess would be about 90%.
I live in the US, and run into A LOT of stupid people (great example...the whole Paris Hilton ordeal being treated as she is being treated unfairly and treated as if her 45 days in jail is more important than the troops dying in Iraq). Of course, the USA isn't the only dumb country. I try not to be stupid so to make sure I am not like those I run into everyday that are amazingly "stoopid". I do have faith that I also meet a lot of pretty smart people, and those at least reasonably sensible.

Approximately
50% more stupidity
30% lesser stupidity
10% little stupid
8% stupid
1% saints
1% innocent
Total 98% falls under the category of STUPID
2% more like to go to heaven.

alot... humans can be very smart but as a whole we are complete idiots.think about it, if humans were all smart we would have figured that war is pointless and that we are currently destroying the earth so fast that if we stopped all the pollution today we could never bring the earth back to what it was- I'd say 95% idiots - 5% some what smart.

The statistics would all be relative..
Well there is no dearth of stupid people on this planet, otherwise we would not be discussing these things.

Too hard to count. Maybe use a taylor series for a rough approximation.

it depends on everyones perception of stupidity. it all relative what one knows others don't know. nobody knows every single things in the planet.

According to your definitions, you have admitted your own state of stupidity, which is even more stupid than most.
