Abuse them. Clearly, God hates them - why shouldn't we, as well?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('kevincarter', 'W')hat shall we do? Nothing. Besides, you'd be surprised how dumb smart people get in extreme situations.

In Nicaragua I met a guy that everyone called "Ricky Martin", he was very dumb and had a super low IQ, But Ricky Martin was also as big as a Mamut and earned a living pulling out buckets of water from a well for X pesos a bucket, if you wanted water you better called Ricky Martin, and yes, don't you dare to touch his business or he will chop your head not giving a damn about it. In fact he made a very good living.

You don't need to know much to pull a bucket of water from a well, work in a garden, cut trees, dig holes, punch people in the face or move stuff, specially if you are in a group. I rather have Ricky Martin in my community than some genious who only knows how to give orders and won't work.


Well said, that's why I answered "other".

Aren't they already fodder for the "law enforcement growth industry" like the mentally ill that were dumped on the streets and are now rotting away in Medieval snake-pit prisons at a cost of 10's of thousands of dollars/year to the consumeroid zombie taxpayers.

Man, this thread seem like some kind of underlying insults to people that lay on the floor for you to walk on. Tsk, Them imbecile idiots are part of us and I think, Jack, that you're an idiot too. [smilie=eusa_shifty.gif]

We're all human but the inside of us is different but doesn't separate us as human.

I'm deaf, yes I do hear but I worry more in the future. I'm stupid and an idiot now but what if you turn out to be a really an idiot at post-PO? I let others judge each other because I have no intention of judging anyone unless I'm not being respected.

Anyway, I'm just a simpleton. I'm not stupid. I think the society making me stupid... ok, I'm gonna sleep on this. [smilie=sleepy3.gif]

What we ought to do is the best we can for them, same as for everyone else.

What we are likely to do is kick them to the curb as we slide into increasing savagery.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('basil_hayden', 'I') think cretin is the worst, thus the poll must be repaired to cast my vote.


I am a lover of words and etymology. If you ever find yourself having to look up the same word over and over again, try reading the word's full etymological origin and you might find you remember it better.

The other day I looked up "cretin" on www.etymology.com. It is a Germanic dialectical corruption of "Christian".

It arose because people would see, for example, some poor, stupid ragamuffin and remark, "There goes a Christian fellow"- meaning poor, struggling, deprived or otherwise unfortunate.

There it is. . . reality.

When the cheap energy stops flowing, it will be back to man against man, man against nature, nation against nation.

War at all levels.

Brace yourselves.
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

Good one Carl.
Christians are a rare site indeed.
Was Jack going for "mentally retarded" but its too un-P.C.?

One of the most beautiful people I have ever known was "mentally retarded".
His name was Carl and he use to bug the living shit out of me yet I loved/love him.
He was very gifted artistically, especially with his hands and held a job in wood working for many years.
His favorite song was "how great thou art" which he would sing beginning to end usually unaccompanied in almost every service.
Its sorta like autism, once you find their skills you find they are really good at things.

Ultimately I do not support their procreation but I do support their ability to exist minus the most severe cases.

Screw the dee-dee-dee's I wanna know what we are going to do with all the doctors and lawyers Post Peak??? 8)
It is easier to enslave a people that wish to remain free then it is to free a people who wish to remain enslaved.

Actually I think this was brought up because Jack is a cyborg. Hence the avatar; self portrait. :razz:

As for the topic, I believe the term "survival of the fittest" is best here. If one hasn't come to grips with their mortality yet, now might be a good time to learn.
