Why are people so stupid in today’s society?

Our society is making stupid, ignorant, lazy people "Cool" to children and young adults. It's the "Dummying Down Of America!" Politicians are in on it too. Listen to their speeches. They talk about a "New World Order" (Sounds a little like Hitler?) I have seen a marked increase in illogical behavior over the last 15 yrs with each year getting worse! Look at our government! We should all be really pissed that the whole country is working its butt off but, are up to their ears in poverty or dept while there has been serious abuses to bring down poor and middle class people while creating a 2% High Archy of the wealthiest people on the planet! Oh, yeah. It's beginning to look like the movie: Time Machine. Before you know it, we will be the dumb sheep and slaves to the filthy rich. If we're not turned into food?....

there's nothing wrong with iceland !!! it has it's niche

i find it hard how anyone could do a full shop in it ... but some of the products are good value for money

the bacon is £1 a pack , and they don't even weight it .... for that pound i sometimes get as much 10-14 slices in it ...300% cheaper than sainsburys

they also do sliced ham ,turkey,pork and beef ( off cuts in a pack ) for £1.75 ....you wouldn't get that any where else

the rest of the stuff ok , it's all frozen .... but sometimes when i get home , i can't be bothered to cook or i want to have a FAT day .... i will take a pizza out of the freezer , go up get changed and then come down and it's done ...convenience food does have it's place is society ..weather you like it or not ( but you couldn't like on it )

as for young kids using , stupid words .... this is part of the rebellious growing up stage ..it happens

What makes you think that this is a new thing? You think people didn't follow the trends 50 years ago? In Victorian England women died from things like corsets and face powder, but they still wore them. People go with the herd, they always have.

As for broken English showing no originality, wouldn't you say regular English is the same? Speaking English isn't original either. People aren't original. Slang isn't new. You just sound curmudgeonly for not liking this generations slang.

I learned to cook when I was eight, I was lucky enough to have someone to teach me. You were also lucky to be able to learn, not everybody is. Why should it bother you what they eat? It probably is cheaper to eat junk than homemade, I know it is in America.

I'm with you all the way. Dumbness seems to be contagious.

As for the government.. Perhaps they will gain more votes and perhaps they won't. To be honest, I think it makes no difference which of the suits we have 'controlling' us. The country has gone to pot. It's depressing, this Jeremy Vile fodder culture that surrounds us. It's so depressing I can't even pollute my mind with it any longer - makes me want to commit suicide.

It would be wonderful to make a difference - but who is ever going to listen to 'real' people like us. It's messed up too badly.

Personally, from the people at my school, probably because they do drugs and smoke weed and that stuff. They kill brain cells, white blood cells and other things. Brain cells isn't replaceable. So.. yeah
