High birth rates are usually a phenomenon of poverty. Because poor people have less access to and knowledge of contraception, are more likely to have conservative religious ideologies that discourage contraception, and often have more children to compensate for higher childhood mortality. What we usually call stupidity is usually really just ignorance, and ignorance is the result of poor education, and the poor are almost always less well educated than the rich.
High birth rates and ignorance are both associated with poverty, and so often occur in parallel. The human gene pool has little do worry about. Those people aren't inherently dumber, they're just less educated.

You sure have a good point here -- very scary, isn't it? I think one of the reasons is that intelligent people understand what a HUGE commitment children are and how LONG TERM the commitment is -- financially, emotionally, and even physically. That is usually enough to cause them to limit the number of children they create to what they feel they can handle. One only need watch a few stupid daytime television shows like the court shows to know that you are right on target with your assessment. And the over-procreation seems to perpetuate itself generation-to-generation as well -- not a good situation for sure!

The intelligent people have less children because they are more intelligent about sex and birth control.

I like you! An interesting topic to research that would, unfortunately, be squashed by the lib media or any professor at your educational institution of choice.

You should watch Idiocracy, it took that very same point and made it into a movie. Plus it's the same guy who made Office Space.

The dumb people don't often think, how to act normally. First we have to think who are dumb people. The dumb people are those, who insult others and waste other people's time acting rude and nasty. There are going to be people who are like this, and ironically we will have to deal with it. If they want to act dumb, that is their control.
Be yourself and let yourself act they way you want to be. Don't let others control you. Everyone needs to go on with their lives, and not to let the dumb people control them.
