ignorant & stupid defined

mid-morning on Friday, the 25th of June 2004 by Tina

lets define what irks me the most..

since time nor space would not allow me to note names of all those who are ignorant & stupid.. but i will just note the definitions for each.

read through these definitions.. you will realize how many people you know who can be defined as such.. think about it, you could pretty much take the phone directory and just remove a few pages, the remaining would account for the number of folk who fall into these categories.. it is the masses, the mass majority who fall into these categories.. it is sad but really think about it,.. think of your family, co-workers, bosses, customers, people you just bump into anywhere.. this is not about a low IQ, since i have seen people with low IQs with more sense then someone who has a high IQ.

Now sure each and everyone of us has suffered from a dumb moment.. but it is day to day sense.. it is how a person is the majority of the time.. but remember it is the stupid people that makes you appreciate the brilliance of others.
