Dumb People Knowledge Base
Dumb People? Why do people get a dog and dont know anything about them?Is it to hard to get a book and read about the dog you want? And how to care for them?I think there should be a text to havea pat and kids.
why are people who are called sweet or sensitive considered dumb or innocent? i hate it. i am called sweet and sensitive all the time and i sometimes feel like it gives people the wrong impression that i am naive, simple, innocent, or dumb. yes, i do wear my heart on my sleeve, but i am actually at least somewhat intelligent. at work or with people who know me casually, they always kind of chuckle when they see me, like im just like this flaky, innocent girl and that it so not true. it makes me feel like they just think im like some quirky but nice character. i am a bit too trusting sometimes, but that is it and there is alot more going on than that.
why do people have a perception that blondes are dumb? Im a blonde and would not say im dumb and i dont see why most people see blondes as dumb people. I am studying politics at university so i would defo not class myself as dumb. I find people stereotype to quicky too.
Good come backs to say to people who basically call me a dumb blonde? So many people joke around and will say (if I do the smallest thing like trip or something that isn't even dumb) that it's because I'm blonde, so I'm dumb. What is a good come back to people who do this, a come back that isn't mean, but gets the message across that I don't like them saying those things? Yes I realize that (and have for some time) that THEY are the dumb ones for thinking that, but it would still be nice to have a good, quick, nice, come back. Oh I will have to try that one next time Proza... :)
Why do southern accents make people sound dumb? Every time someone says "southerner," I picture a guy in overalls, a button down plaid shirt, a straw hat, buckteeth, and an over-protruding Adam's apple saying "Y'all come back nah. Y'here?" then spitting chewing tobacco into a pot. Then he goes inside to watch Nascar, then praying for 4 hours. Where did this stereotype develop? Why do people associate southern accents with being dumb?
why the hell do people take dumb majors? People take majors in dumb things, like radiology and some other sh*t that it's so common sense they won't get a job when they graduate. How stupid. And then they waste like 4 yrs in college and come out with a degree that has no jobs. Then they fall right back into Mcdonalds and Wal-mart.
How dumb are the people who camp out in front of stores to wait for sales? So a bunch of people are camped out waiting for all the black friday sales, what meaning does Christmas have to these people? I never seen people camped outside of a church waiting for service to start. There is nothing I want that bad where I would camp outside of Bestbuy the day before Thanksgiving. I guess Christmas has different meanings to people. Agree?
Why are people with southern accents thought of as dumb? I was born and raised in North Carolina. I have a southern accent, and it bothers me that some people think that people from the south are idiots. I DO have a southern accent, but I always use perfect grammar. It's just kind of mean that people think an accent defines a person's thoughts and character. I'm from the South, and I'm a MENSA member with an IQ of 180. Definitely not dumb. What do you think about this issue?
Why do the smartest people say and think so many dumb things? I could give you a huge list of dumb things that have been said or written by some of the world's brightest folks. What gives? Even I myself (an intelligent male in his own right) tend to say or think dumb things. Think about the dumb and untenable things said by Kant, Hume, Stephen Hawkins, and Arthur Schopenhauer. Some of their thoughts strike a person of moderate intelligence as "dumb" with only a few moments of reflection. Hume and Kant made some "dumb" statements about non-Caucasian races. Even by the standards of their day, some of their comments regarding anthrpology seem utterly clueless. As for Schopenhauer, his work "Of Women" is full of ridiculous assertions which one could attribute to his cultural context. However, it would not have been that hard for him to find examples of females in both his time and history that falsified many of his ill-founded assertions. Sophist, I disagree with your assertion. The dumb things that the aforementioned philosophers said have nothing to do with the person hearing them. Intelligent modern-day philosophers of unquestionable intelligence have confirmed that Hume, Kant and Schopenhauer were mistaken in many of their works and that they made many nonsensical assertions. Stephen Hawkins made wild speculative arguments about black holes which he had to retract after he found serious blunders in his work. Why didn't he catch the mistakes earlier? By "dumb" I am using the common definition for the word, "conspicuously unintelligent or stupid." Blame "dumb" comments on cultural context, if you will, but I don't think this approach explains much of what is truly unintelligent sounding in the thinkers I have mentioned aforetime. At times, folk wisdom or the science of the day had already provided evidence that falsified the statements of Kant, Hume, et al. There is something else at work when smart people make unintelligent or stupid statements. I would also classify my observation as a posteriori. I would not say that Kant, Hegel or Heidegger (another smart guy who said dumb and convoluted things) are not great thinkers. That doesn't mean they are immune from saying dumb things. And to give you another example of smart people saying dumb things, consider what Hobbes writes about humans in the state of nature. He maintains that humans are inherently selfish and prone to violence. There are philosophers and psychologists who adhere to this belief today. But Hobbes begs the question when it comes to our nature. Additionally, his position on man in the state of nature is untenable as it stands. How does one go about proving that humans are intrinsically selfish or that all of our actions are motivated by selfishness? Psychology and experience provides damning evidence concerning the Hobbesian theory of human nature. This philosopher failed to exercise necessary rigor in his development of social contract theory.
Why do people think that they may achieve peace by dumb ways? Why do people think that they can obtain world peace by protesting?,the only true way to obtain true wordly peace is by war.Either by taking over the world and settinfg standards so that there WILL BE PEACE .Or by a COMPLETELY HUGE THREAT TO HUMANITY,Like another world war for example.
Why are people who drive on the interstate so friggin dumb at times? Okay, so I was riding home with my mom the other day, and I happened to look over in the next car, and this lady was reading a book, while driving on the highway!!! I couldn't believe it! Why do people do such stupid things, then ask why people die everyday on the road? Seriously, reading a book and then driving, thats just plain stupid! thanks you all..
Should democracy be limited because the people are just too dumb ? Before your military is used in a peace keeping missions should the people have a say? Or is that only reserved for the elected elites to decide how the army is used because the people are just too dumb to be left in command of how their money is spent and how their nations military is used ? In the case of "pre-emptive" attacks should the people get a say in their nations foriegn policy ? Or is it again that the people are just too dumb to be trusted with important decisons that will impact them and their grandchildren ? I am not talking about defense - just attack The secret service is still active the Generals are still free to move troops about as they please - To park in strategic places and to fire back at people or armies that shoot at them first - so there is no danger to the nations Defence But just the concept of the people decideing rather than a handful of politicans on matters of attack and so on Or are the people to dumb for this kind of democracy? What about the wages of the politicans Are the people too dumb for that too and so it should continue to be left up to the politican to decide if and when and how much of a raise they get ? Should the people get a vote on their public servervants request for a raise before they get it Or is this another case where the elites are well - just more qualified than the population ?
How do you deal with dumb people? People in teams that are not very inteligent but they are bossy and complain about every little things. I just feel like they complain alot because they don't know how to work smart to get it done.
Why do some people automatically assume blonds are dumb? It truly doesn't make any sense. I mean, sure, there are some dumb blonds in the world, but the dumbness could be in anybody: blond, redhead, brunette, black hair. I'm a blond, and I'm actually really smart. I mean, I do have my share of blond moments. Will somebody please explain to me how this stereotype got started?
How do you deal with dumb people? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you? I have had a few dumb co-workers who think--they are everything and better than you in every ways. Most of the time, I just ignore them because I know they are so dumb. Sometimes, they are really get on my last nerve and I want to say the truth to them like--"I have more experiences and much more education than you".
Do the laws of physics explain why dumb people get rich? According to my physics book, power = work / time. But I've also heard that knowledge is power, and time is money. If I substitute in the equation I get: knowledge = work / money. I can rearrange to get: money = work/knowledge. Doesn't this mean that people with lower knowledge will make more money, regardless of the work done?
What do you think would happen if super delegates would be dumb enough to pick the opposite of the people? But there were total outbursts when gore won the popular vote but bush won the electoral votes. Wouldn't doing the same thing with the popular vote in the primaries and the super delegates be the same situation? I agree that it would be a race suicide for the dems. They would be labeled racist and the black community(for the most part) would vote independent, republican, or not at all... Doubt there would be riots, just a few jerks ruining it for the rest... Probably the same amount of damage from kkk members if Obama does win.
Why are some people dumb enough to play lottery? Lottery is the WORST type of gambling available, you have the least chance of winning. The second least is the slot macjine, but atleast you have on average an 100+ better chance of winning. some people that are actually lucky enough to win, still lost more since they started playing, it adds up, if you play lottery; $1 per day $7 per week $30 per month $360 per year $3,600 per every 10 years It is a terrible gambling with terrible pay offs. the people that actually win end up "messing up their life" by friends negging them all the time, etc. BTW: I'm talking about big sums of money. Like $1,000 +.
Why do people ask such dumb questions, or are they really lacking knowledge? They ask questions that most people would know the answer to. Or they ask questions that they should be instead asking their doctor and not uneducated Yahoo members. Or they ask questions that are so ignorant that you can't understand how can someone with a brain ask that? I think some of the people are fooling around and some really are lacking knowledge. So sad that people are too lazy to be educated or research!! When I say "uneducated Yahoo members" I am referring to those who are not educated in the health profession. That is why I put my question in the Health section. I am talking about those who ask Health questions. Example someone asks: I have a huge lump in my breast, my mom has some old cancer pills left, should I take them That is PURE STUPIDITY!!
How can people be so dumb? I deliver newspapers to this brand new house where a concrete driveway was just poured. After the driveway was poured, the people were blocking the approach with numourus things like the city garbage cart, a weber grill, their cars, and a couple of plastic adrorondak chairs the first week. Recently i seen a sign on their front lawn that said please return the 4 plastic lawn chairs. Dont these people have common sense of where they place their belongings? When things are at the end of the driveway its considered free, or trash. Same thing happened in my city when someone parked their utility trailer on the curb. I dont feel sorry for these people. Its their stupitdity thats at fault.
How many people believe no question is a dumb question? 1) How many people believe no question is a dumb question? I have asked many questions since I joined Yahoo Answers. Since then, many of my questions have at least one person insulting me then evading the actual question by stating something a shade off the real question. 2) Do insulting comments and evasive answers make the person answering the question feel important, feel powerful or something else? Please explain your answer. 3) Is there a logical reason why anyone would try to intimidate those who ask questions by sending mean and incorrect answers?
How do you handle it when you see lots of other people such as at work making dumb decisions? I have bosses at work that are so dumb and ignorant and make these dumb decisions that affect me and hurt the company and they don't listen to me when I know what I am talking about but just go on with their stupidity. It is sickening to me to see people who HAVE the power to make important decisions who don't know what in the world they are doing. These dumb decisions affect me in bad ways and they just get mad if I try to explain how they are making a mistake. How can I handle this so I don't blow a fuse and just live under the stupidity?
Do smart people have dumb luck ? I am trying to win the lottery by analying the numbers. But so far, I have not win the prize. A friend told me that smart people like me don't have dumb luck. What is your opinion ? It is not really about the money. It is about the feeling you get when you win something. Even a small prize will keep me happy for weeks. I can use the money to buy lunch for my friends. If there is spare, most likely I will donate to charity.
