A few questions for CCers about DUers

[ChuckJ]

The first question…do you think the DUmmies are really that stupid? Yeah, I know they're not right, but I'm wondering if they sometimes exaggerate the extent of their stupidity in an attempt to fit in with fellow DUmmies who are exaggerating the extent of their own stupidity which leads to a perpetual increase in stupid. This would explain the many times that one of us has said that they can't get any more stupid only to be quickly proven wrong.

So what to you think? All natural stupid or exaggerated stupid?

And finally…Last week, or maybe the week before, the DUmmies were in rare form. I read one post brought over from DU, I can't remember what it was or who it was from, that really set me off. I immediately set about typing a post here on CC directed toward the forgotten DUmmie. Thankfully, I hit the 'preview' button and took the time to read my reply before pressing the 'post' button. Everyone here that's known me for a while knows I may occasionally slip and post a profanity, but this was different. The was a very angry and very profanity laden post. The language used in it would have even surprised a construction worker.

After reading the preview of the post I calmed down a bit and decided not to post it lest our mods be forced to moderate it. My anger toward the DUmmie and his post didn't go away. I finally decided to log off for a few days to remove the temptation of replying to the DUmmie.

Has anything similar happened to anyone else here? How angry and/or disgusted do the Dummies get you?

ChuckJ,

Yes, they are that DUmb, that delusional, and that poorly equipped to live in the real world.

DUmmies are the barnyard turkeys of the world. They would drown if it rained.

I wouldn't trust a DUmmy with anything sharper than a spoon. I sure wouldn't trust a DUmmy with my money.

As for profanity, I consider it a tool. Sometimes it is an ice pick; sometimes a cavalry saber; and sometimes a flat head shovel that I use to whack DUmmies between their beady little eyes.

Well Big Dog... I had thought about replying... but you said it waaaay better than I ever could. Especially about the profanity. 

H5!

I got one little bone to pick with you though... probably poor choice of words... where you said you wouldn't trust a dummy with your money.

Hades fire I wouldn't trust a dummie with a wheel barrow full of crappy dirt, let alone my money!!!!

I've been here about a year now.  Didn't quite understand the CC's fascination with the DUmp.  In fact, I had to put the dump on ignore for awhile.  I haven't really followed them, other than what has been posted here, so I'm not as familiar with them.

But I must say, from what I have seen, I'm amazed that there are so many mal-adjusted adults gathered on one website.
  
Too many seem like adult children that failed to launch and incapable of handling their lives without help.

I do think they are perfect case studies for someone studying to be a psychiatrist. However, their politics really irritate me.  They seem to have been brainwashed into buying into the Marxist/Communist crap that we fought wars against.

I also think that people like them are a real danger to the founding principals of this republic.  Too many of them seem to want to turn it into a police state.

Good description of DUmmies.

They want the Govt. to run their lives because they can't by themselves. Funny thing, though, it ALWAYS seem like they want to impose rules on others and yet, exempt themselves from those very same rules. Dianne Feinstein is a prime example. She is rabidly anti-gun, stupid about them and yet, seems to have bodyguards who are  armed, probably with "assault weapons" (the REAL assault weapons, not the rifles the Dems would like us to believe that are). I know that there are many others just like her. They would usurp OUR rights in a moment as long as it didn't affect them.

[BlueStateSaint]

All y'all said it a lot better than I could, so I H5ed all y'all.  (I got Big Dog's nails/claws in my palm, though.  You need to file those differently! )

Chuck, now that I think of it, I tend to go with "50% are stupid, 50% are plain evil."

Every one of them is a threat to the Republic.

[Skul]

Moles.
Moles express the true words of DUmpmonkeys.
The primitives responses, always reflect that.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

They aren't stupid, they're malicious. They aren't saying untrue things out of a lack of better sense, they're lying to get what they want.

[miskie]

Id suggest that primitives come in three distinct varieties (Excluding the moles)

-The painfully stupid : such as the adults who still live at home with mom & dad.

-The Pie-Eyed youth : these still buy into the 'party of love, tolerance, and acceptance' crap.

-The vindictive : these are the worst of all. Politics are a means to personal gain, and all who oppose them are to be eliminated.

I have canceled many previews before posting -not for profanity- but because I found I couldn't express what I wanted to write coherently enough, or because I felt that the point I was making was thread-derailing.

I think they're just really plain stupid, in the "low IQ" sense.

How angry and/or disgusted do the Dummies get you?

The biggest "angry" I've ever had with the primitives was during the Connecticut Democrat senatorial primary of 2006, when the incumbent Joseph Liebermann was challenged by some multi-millionaire whom the primitives liked.

If you recall, Liebermann lost the primary, but won the election as an independent.

Usually I have no sympathy, not an iota, for Democrats, but the sheer passionate Hate the primitives had for Liebermann got to me; I had no idea a human being could contain so much Hate.

It was really disturbing, that near-supernatural Hate.

I'd never seen so much Hate in my life.

Well, I took off--this was when we were still at our old home, and I'm sure BadCat remembers it--for several days, just aimlessly driving up to North Dakota, for no particular reason other than just to take a gander at the smallest international airport in the United States.

During that trip, I finally reconciled the issue.  A human can hate only so much.....but the primitives, being at a lower evolutionary level than the rest of us, have cruder, coarser, rougher, sensitivities with lesser feeling, and hating someone or some thing is about the best they can do.

I continue to see examples of raw unfettered Hate on Skins's island, but it doesn't bother me as much, any more than that a dead cockroach might hate me.

To ChuckJ's question, the first two don't get me mad.  The third one does.  Those types and the communists.  The nanny-statists.  The one from yesterday saying that they ought to oppose all private funding of ordinarily government functions (e.g. The Fisher House helping the deceased vets families).  This is a case where profanity is entirely appropriate. 

[jtyangel]

I think a lot of it is arrogance too. Generations of people who are told they are great for just being; those people no matter their age can't ever seem to admit that their original ideas may not be right. That's the only thing that I can see with some of the stupidity being so egregious is that they refuse to admit they might have been wrong. Rather then taking things like that as a learning experience, they see it as a personal affront and crumble. I don't know, I just think parents and educators and society has really ****ed us up over the last 60 plus years with how people have been parented. They have no humility, no propriety, and way too much self-importance(including their own flawed opinions).

I see some conservatives like this too, but many of the conservatives will at least eventually resign themselves to the fact that they just might not be knowledgeable about the topic, they don't continue (generally) with ridiculous platitudes offhand and refuse to even consider an alternative outlook on something.

[Carl]

One has to remember that most true DUmbasses are both mentally and emotionally stunted.
They never progress much beyond the 5th or 6th grade level.

The problem is they are still carrying around an adult body and all the things that entails.
Actual children can have tantrums but really those don't amount to much where DUmbasses in their adult bodies can affect lives.
That is why they should be opposed at all turns because the evil a child may plot but can never do the DUmbass will try.

Dori,

you bring up some great points. Do you think their maladjusted natures actually lean them liberal because there is an obvious draw I would think for someone who is so helpless to want a daddy government to look out for them. In other words, I tend to think that they know deep down they are that screwed up and voting liberal is an acknowledgment of that even though they would never admit just how inadequate they are publicly. As for those who are adjusted like the PHD's and such over there, I tend to think they are just evil totalitarians in nature. Those folks aren't maladjusted; they are just evil and control freaks. One is dangerous because they are too  weak and the other because they are too controlling. What I've noticed in general is that liberalism seems to cater to the worse of human nature and not encourage the best. For that reason alone, it's tenets should be rejected.

[IassaFTots]

They aren't stupid, they're malicious. They aren't saying untrue things out of a lack of better sense, they're lying to get what they want.

I am with you.  There's a distinct difference between stupidity and maliciousness.  I know a lot of people that simply don't care about politics, they don't like listening to the news because "it's too depressing."  I think there are more of them than DUmmies, and I believe they are more stupid than them too.

[Mike220]

I'd say that most primitives are just that: primitive. They're not maliciously stupid, but are so incapable of rational independent thought that they either revert to base instincts (i.e. hate and/or fear) or look to see which way the winds are blowing before drooling out some response. I'd put most of the lumpenprimitiven, the faceless mob of the left, in this group.

However, there are the malevolently stupid primitives who have a smattering of "education" and therefore think they know everything. They are able to bullshit the drooling class using big, often made up words that sound impressive but have all the substance of a beer fart. They are the text book example of Alexander Pope's dictum that "a little learning is a dangerous thing." We all can name a few dozen of these upper-tier primitives and they are the ones we have to watch out for. They can whip the faceless mob into a frenzy that's hard to control until it burns itself out in a haze of pot smoke and Cheeto dust.

As for profanity, **** them with a rusty shovel.

That's about what my observation amounted to as well, Mike. Hi-5

[BannedFromDU]

     It's agreed that they're stupid, hypocritical, selfish, racist, and every other name they throw at us. That isn't the interesting bit. What's interesting to me is WHY they're that way. If you profile DU, you get something that looks like this:

• They're sicker than average.
• They're less employed than average.
• They're more likely to be mentally ill.
• They tend to have bad family histories.
• They're far less self-reliant than average.
• They tend to social awkwardness and suffer from a general lack of grace.

You may be tempted to claim as well that

• They're narcissistic

but I would actually disagree with that.

Politics is just their way of abstracting from individual disappointments and challenges that they clearly are not equipped to confront alone. Every injustice, hurt, disappointment, or harm that's ever come their way, they imagine a government solution for. The hatred they feel for anyone in a better position stems from the shame they feel for needing a construct (government) to take from people who are not so encumbered. Whether they care to admit it or not, the DUmmies spend every moment of their existence stewing the collection of bad emotions that originate from SHAME.

If you look at them long enough, and you realize how futilely almost all of them will struggle until they die, you really have to pity them.

-The vindictive : these are the worst of all. Politics are a means to personal gain, and all who oppose them are to be eliminated.

I would add:

-The old and drug addled hippies that believe the policies that always fail will work this time. Similar to Pie-Eyed youth only they are lost causes.

-The mentally ill and there are loads of them there that think they are normal because the DUmp collects and concentrates the mentally ill.

I also think that humans play up or down to their competition or environment. For the DUchebags they all trend toward the worst of human characteristics and behavior by mutual reinforcement. Pretty much every DUche would be better off if they quit this reinforcement of the very worst that the DUmp provides.

Yes, I have gotten so mad that my post made me rethink posting it. Even after having pounded the keyboard for minutes.

Can't help, but agree.  Whether genetic or self-inflicted, they're just plain stupid.

One of the prime reasons.

As I've said before, I try not to use that sort of language, but sometimes the stupidity hits you hard and a few do slip out.

This stuff didn't come about overnight.  I believe it is a combination of things. But mostly do to upbringing, education, media and lack of morality.   This all started back in the 60's with the radicals who are now running the government, the schools and the media.  Look at how many kids are raised in homes without both parents.  Working mothers that are stressed to the max with not enough hours in the day to take care of a job, a family, a home or themselves.  I've never seen so many women on Prozac or kids diagnosed as having ADHD.

But I also don't discount the fact that there is more sinister things a work in this country and it was by design.  If you go back and study the creep of communism here, it's easy to see. There have been numerous people who have written about it and saw it taking shape.  There isn't one aspect of the changes in our society and government that was not foretold.  The masses were not educated to the danger and now here we are.

Exhibit A of what you describe can be found on Thor's FB page.  Dumb as a box of hammers.
