Re: Is there any way to stop STUPID?

Unfortunately there is no cure to fix stupid. It just goes on and on. I have neighbors that aren't even social distancing. People on the beach were receiving tickets for the same reason. Passed a house the other day with probably 6 people all gathered around and close to each other.

 

I have no patience for them - they deserve hefty fines and some jail time.

Stupid indeed.  I don't suppose we can really discuss students at Liberty University or members of the church groups who have been meeting to spite the virus nor do I want to other than to say they at least are emotionally manipulated stupid so I have a tiny bit of compassion for those individuals in comparison to the sheer stupids.

 

When any of the stupids get the virus, I won't be thinking "that's too bad" or "I'm so sorry" rather, "you gambled, you lost, and you may have harmed a lot of innocents".

Re: Is there any way to stop STUPID?

So many times I have asked this question. Few times I have gone out to pick up necessities i have gone out of my way to walk away from these idiots that all of a suddenly  appear right in front of me, almost like I am a magnet!  It is true they just don't get it, and they never will!

I have always been confused about "not judging" people.  To me, it has always been about not judging their soul and their spirit.

 

But now we don't judge. We don't say anything is wrong, we have a whatever attitude toward what others do, and it is coming back to bite us.  We don't expect much of people and they are living up to our expectations.

 

So many are without concern for others, without a sense of being part of something greater than thenselves because it is expected of them.  Without community approval being important, out also goes pride, concern for others, and a sense of contribution to something greater than yourself to give you a sense of happiness with your actions.

 

So, I'll shut up now and get off my ivory soap box.  But I think people won't have much to live for if not much is asked of them.

Thumbs way, way UP!!!

OHMYGOSH! 

 

That is the exact way I feel about people who think that lighting up

When they're *on their way out*, I'm like buh bye.

If I were a grandparent, I would have started a journal and been writing down many daily details about living life with coronavirus in the US.

IMO they should have also arrested the 60 idiots who attended.  


@Mj12   I tracked down the article.  He's also got a frightening criminal history.  What's he doing walking around loose?
