The downfall of the human race

I have come to the conclusion that people are dumb, neurotic animals. I am always told that homo sapeins were the most intelligent animals on this planet. Well whoever said that doesn't live in this day and age. I have seen more than my share of moronic things in my life, and I haven't lived a very long life.

Let me give you one example:

I was in my freshmen year in high school and we all had to take a health class. The health class was the compliment to a gym class that we had to take at the beginning of the year. In this health class we were talking about healthy foods, and in particular Irish foods came up. Many things came up that you would expect; Irish Soda Bread, Cornbeef and Cabbage, etc. One kid in particular raised his hand, and with his usual idiotic smirk, said, and I quote, "Are Lucky Charms Irish?" Everyone laughed at his moronic question, but he was serious. While everyone was laughing he said: "what there is a lerechaun on the box." He was dead serious with this question! After I realized that and continued to laugh I died a little inside.

I have many more examples of stupidity and maybe I will save you from dying inside a little more. Being told that we are the future of this country is a sad thing to me, because when I look at the people who are in school these days I see a bunch of fools who play into the hand of large conglomerates. Very rarely do I see people who fit what I would call the future of this world.

I have decided not to spare you, so here is another example:
My friend is dating someone who is completely clueless about almost everything, though she tells me he is very intelligent. This male smokes weed, and she doesn't approve but he does it anyway. The other day he went on a run to buy some mary jane to smoke with some of his friends. Mind you he has no money so he has to borrow some from someone. He gets there and the kid is waiting for them. They make the hand off, the boyfriend and his friends leave, and they are happy. Well they go to smoke the weed and my friend doesn't hear from him for a while. When she finally does get a hold of him he is angry about the weed he smoked, said it wasn't good. My friend comes to find out that her boyfriend had literally bought grass. I'm not talking weed, I am talking Kentucy Blue.... You would think he would check it or something like that. Someone who smokes weed all the time should know there is a difference in the texture, or at least think to look before buying.

From the two above examples we have more than enough evidence to show that people are in fact growing dumber. Every generation is a bit dumber than the last, with only a few standing out for their intelligence. Those who do stand out because they are intelligent are shunned for their intelligence by their peers. In their desperate attempt to be accepted they try to conform to what the other kids put forth as a "norm." I went through this and I tried to be accepted but I never was for many years, so I just didn't try anymore and was myself. It worked out in the end because I am in a good university and am going to end up their bosses; I'm not being cocky, most of them are going no where fast. I can't wait for that day to be honest...."yes you remember me? The one you ridiculed in school all the time? Well guess what! I'm your boss now!"It will be a glorious day because then they will realize that they should have been nice to me.

Not only are they stupid but they have the inherent ability to think they are better than other people. I have done this on occassion, even in this very post. But I am not talking about someone like me, I am talking about people like my friends. Not all of my friends are like this, just a select few. It's like they need to make a point to show they are "better" than everyone around them. Whenever someone makes a stupid comment they make a point to say something in response that would be derogatory, putting you down. Now they don't always do this, only if they are in a group. It's like they feel the need to validate why they are there by criticising what other people say. If you go back and do it to them they just brush it off and say something along the lines of: "good one, tell it again sometime." This just shoots you down big time. I just stop talking when they do that and try to avoid saying anything for a while. There is only one "friend" that really does it a lot and it gets on my nerves sometimes.

For example: The other day I was minding my own business and listening in to what they were saying while I was playing World of Warcraft or something like that. Every once in a while I would make a comment or say something to them. Well someone made a comment and the one friend in question started going off on him. Not in anger but with his inane berating of the guy. The other one just shut up and looked while he went on. I wanted to sock him in the mouth.

People like this make me so angry it isn't even funny. I think it is time for people to shape up and treat other people like they would like to be treated. It's too bad the majority of people don't do this as I usually do. I'm a generally nice person and what do I get back in return? Not a damn thing. I'm nice to people and I seem to always be the one with the least amount of friends in the group, and most of them really aren't that good of friends. Maybe this is why I have become hard to the outside world and don't really like the company of other people. Oh well another quality person will just go unheard in the world....

Tune in next time for another exciting post!

Note: I kind of finished this late so I don't really remember what I was going to say =P Hope you all enjoy it anyway
