    It takes one to know one. I believe that we are all perfect the way we are. Nobody is stupid just because they are struggling with a different language. I believe some people are bored and maybe make up silly questions without thinking. However, they are not stupid. I don't like people who judge others without knowing them first. Maybe someone else would think that you are stupid. It's a terrible prejudice to judge people that way. They could be very nice and perhaps you aren't giving them a chance.

    They are stupid because their wittle brains have degenerated

    over the last few hundred years, probably with the emergence of technology. It does all the thinking for them, and their brains atrophy from lack of use. Those of us who are aware of this can keep our minds sharp anyway, but those

    without minds to start with, can never guess as much. I suppose that is the good thing about being dumb. They don't know it. Sometimes when I'm ready to remove some fool's head

    and start a fire in their neck hole, I wish I wasn't smart enough to see the world for the mess it has become. Most of the time, though, I'm glad for my lack of blinders. Try carrying a serpentine in your pocket for calming. It works well, and can be gotten at any stone shop. Unlike all those cool pills, it won't harm the body. LOL.

    Two possible answers:

    1) As we all think different and as we mainly all think being right, that means the others look stupids to us. Same reasoning for what we know: as we all have different knowledges, we consider as stupids the people "who don't even know" what seem obvious to us (but most of the time the reverse is not right: we won't think we're stupid if we face our ignorance in front of other's knowledge). So I agree with your question: by definition, we all think the others are stupid!!

    2) If everybody was equally stupid, nobody would notice it. Which means that having stupid people need also having smart people to whom they can be compared!!! So I don't agree with you question if it means world seems just to be made with stupid people: there are as many smart people as stupid ones!!

    NB: sorry being long and having a hard time arguing, I'm not a native english speaker.

    Because every person have its own priorities.

    If there were no stupid people, then there could be no smart people, because we would be all the same.

    Its our stupidity to think people are stupid. They have certain traits to behave like stupids but are not really stupid.
