Generally speaking i'm not suprised on the absolutely stupidity of people.
But when they dive into the world of politics and try to "explain" something to me...i have to pause and remind myself i'm better than them and move on from there.
My general ideas on things revolve on my massive ego, which i believe was formed as a safety measure when growing up in my house as a child. Instead of taking the digs and absolute mind numbing stupid garbage i was forced to deal with and somehow think that i was less of a person like the rest of my family, i became the exact opposite. I look down at my family, pity how stupid i think they all are. I laugh at their religion and constantly put them down without them realizing i'm doing it...hell maybe they do, but they have to deal with it.
The nonsense that spews from my grandparents and their religious views and outright psychotic worldview and absolute lack of social skills and self loathing i still blame as the root cause to my mom takin her own life. Combine depression and no self esteem with a family who tells you to "get over it" with too many anti-depressants...and bang...
But thats for another day i suppose
However, working where i do and doing what i do for a living you wouldn't expect the relative intelligence to be super high, but good lord.
The conversations i have are interesting, nothing to write a position paper on or anything, but watching how much advertising and that the point of public education is definently succeeding is troubling. We definently have stupid workers with absolutely no concept of history, in any sense of the word. Right wing union members with an overly zealous belief in the christian view of work and xenaphobia is all over the place...its good times.
