I just realized that people aren't stupid, they're lazy! I was reading a thread in which a person said something along the lines of "It is truly remarkable how many people confuse 'there' and 'they're'." And I was thinking that "no, they're not confusing the two, they are just too lazy to stop and look over things."
Any example of dumb-****ery that you can give me can easily be explained that the person was to lazy to do things the right way. People are not as stupid as we think, they are actually quite clever. The ones we assume are morons can suprise us.
Darwin awards are great examples of laziness in the guise of stupidity. I can't remember all of the details but here's one. Okay, so there is one case in which a guy tries to hang himself, poison himself, and shoot himself. He was affraid of the rope snapping, so he did it over a cliff of cold ocean water. He drunk the poison, and then hung himself, but when he went to shoot himself, he accidently missed and shot the rope. So when he fell and hit the water, it caused him to throw up the posion. And he didn't drown because a fisherman or someone found him in the water. But then he died of a cold.
So people are uh...they're lazy. The guy could have just shot himself. But tried to make all of this stuff incase something failed and ended up ruining it all. If he stopped and thought about it, it would have been easier and smarter. But he was to lazy to stop and think.
Just be careful that you are not lazy...
