I recently read of a movie called "Idiotocracy" where the future is inhabited entirely by stupid people. Quite funny to read about, frightening to contemplate.

I heard about it. Its by the creator of "Beavis and Butthead". Anyway an aspie on another website (Digg) mentioned if you weeded out the aspie genes that you would get an "Idiotocracy".

Oh this reminded me what has been said on this thread:

Ignorance seems to be the foundation of fear, misunderstanding and that may lead to discrimination and even hate.

Have you ever heard of those people who think that only gay people can get AIDs so they figure if they stay straight they don't have to have protected sex? To me, getting an STD is far from bliss x:

That's just wrong... :evil:

I'm not willing to euthanize people whose opinions differ from my own. I'd prefer to help them change their destructive thinking patterns.

I am, however, willing to incarcerate Republicans briefly on election day during the hours that polls are open.

I disagree strongly.
What is good, without evil to counterbalance? How do you know when the sun comes up, if it never gets dark? How can you value joy, when nothing ever rips your guts out through your butthole?
Intelligence needs stupidity, to keep it strong, alert and vibrant. Without stupidity to show what you should not do, how can you get an accurate idea of what you should do?

Yes, this is the foundation of my personal philosophy... Balance.

Oh dear,I'm presuming something/someone has upset you CR.Your feelings are
understandable,but Gandhi gave some good advice when he said 'an eye for an eye
only leaves us with a world full of blind people'. Or something like that ...

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind

Source: http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Mahatma_Gandhi/

Here's more good ones for the topic by Ghandi(same website):

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.

You must be the change you want to see in the world.
