Webster’s Dictionary defines “stupidity” as: the quality or state of being stupid.
Here’s a few examples I’ve conjured up from my college experience so far.
a. A student a semester away from graduating who spells “exam” as exiam.
b. This same student who writes “Iranian Arabs” as Iraneyen Aiuds.
c. A student in a 2200 Political Science class who openly declares he’s unable to find Ireland on a map.
d. When asked what’s a critical juncture in world political history, a Political Science major replies with “Well, obviously the extinction of the dinosaurs.” To which the professor responds: “NO! Because the dinosaurs, didn’t, you know, have a political system or VOTE!”
e. A group of Criminal Justice majors who discuss the “inevitably” of Russia and America teaming up to nuke North Korea.
This is all I have for now but rest assured, there shall be more.
I’d commend you to review some very old blog comments of mine and your uncertainty about how well you’d do in college. Just don’t be stupid like the people you’re showcasing.
Oh, trust me, Rants, that’s the ONE thing you never need to worry about when it comes to me. Other things, you SHOULD be worrying about. But stupid? Not this guy.
Wow…somewhat frightening…at least we have you to combat stupidity!! Unfortunately it’s all over the place…you find it in public, at work, at home, and yes…even in politicians and lawyers. I’ve even had a few professors that had me shaking my head…
I know exactly what you mean. It’s sad really.
