Warning Labels.... We Just Had To Mess With Evolution

[Kansas Wyatt]

Wonder why Freepturds are so stupid and exist in society today?

Because natural selection hasn't killed them off. Why do you ask?

Warning labels are protecting them from naturally killing themselves off.

* Not trying to offend anyone... Just something to think about.

1. If only they could use a hair dryer in the shower. n/t

3. We don't have the sabertooths to weed out the slow and dumb anymore

4. This Is Truly Offensive

You may have meant your comment as a joke, but I find it terribly offensive.

The "slow" and "dumb" are among the most vulnerable members of our society.

Many of the "slow" are older people who live in nursing homes.

Many of the "dumb" are people with Alzheimer's or ALS.

Those people -- those PEOPLE -- should NOT be "weeded out.

6. Stuff your PC

I was talking about the kind of people that will do things like
1. Pick up the rattlesnake
2. Yak on the cellphone while walking across the railroad tracks
3. Or the famous last words of the redneck "Hey y'all, watch this"

I was not talking about people with physical or mental disabilities, I was talking about the "supposedly" fully functional idiots who do exceedingly stupid things.

8. "Exceeding Stupid"

If you had truly meant "functional idiots who do exceedingly stupid things", you might have used those words in your post.

Instead, you chose to use "slow and dumb".

Some of us do care about, and have compassion for, the slow and dumb, and we object to them being demonized.

9. Last time I looked in the dictionary

"Slow" and "dumb" had more than ONE meaning.
i've never had much use for PC carried to an extreme: See the example in this thread

10. I'll Take That As An "I'm Sorry"

I'll take your most recent post as an apology for what you said about sabre-tooth tigers not killing off the slow and the dumb.

And, since you have apologized, I'll forgive you.

5. Humans save the weak n/t

7. That reminds me of the famous Joe the Republican essay

Where the guy benefits from all these liberal programs and advances, but still rails against do-gooders and believes himself to be a self-made man, just like Rush told him.
