I wrote this editorial in response to a woman who recently killed her two sons by leaving them in a hot car while she took a nap in the car with them.
---EDITORIAL---
See this is what I'm talking about. I hate stupid people. I think that they are the one group that it should be legal to discriminate against. Personally (and I know that no one is gonna agree with me) I think that she should get a just as bad if not worst sentence than someone who killed their children on purpose. Here me out. The criminal justice system is supposed to protect society from people that are a danger to society like thieves, murderers, rapists, etc. Well I feel that this woman and others like her are just as much a risk to people due to her stupidity. I can at least feel safe with a cold-hearted murder or a robber when I'm walking down the street in the middle of the day. They won't do anything because they have better sense then to rob and kill me with half a million witnesses around. And I can try to avoid other more dangerous situations. Stupid people are a danger 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and in any situation.
"Oops, I didn't realize that if I left my kids in the car the heat could kill them." "Oops, I didn't realize that if I throw a penny off the top of the Empire State building that it could kill someone on the side walk." "Oops, I didn't realize that if I left the gas on in my house it could blow up and kill my neighbors in the yard."
## STUPID MUTHAF*****!!! You are just not equipped to handle living in this society. ##
I not saying give all stupid people the death penalty, just send them all to some deserted island permanently and let them kill each other off. We'll drop food once a week, and we'll all feel a little safer. Actually, that might be the next great reality-based show, "STUPID ISLAND - How Long Will They Survive." Maybe the last one to still be alive wins an invitation back to society. Knowing stupid people though, I'm sure that they will all die at the same time in a tree cutting down incident.
## THAT'S WHY WE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE CAME UP WITH THE WORD TIMBER YOU STUPID MUTHAF*****!!!! ##
---END OF EDITORIAL---
The point of this editorial is that society has become too forgiving. Often, people act like just because it was an accident it's alright; just because you didn't mean it others can't be mad. I'm sorry that you made a mistake, but you still have to deal with the consequences.
Before yall start sending me hate mail, let me say that I am sensitive to the fact that two children lost their lives, and that is no laughing matter. That situation is truly a tragedy. I feel for the children, the mother, and the rest of the family.

What a stupid post.
If you remove all stupid people and "place them on some island" that will only make people who were prior to this action slightly above stupidity become the new definition of stupidity. Someones always going to be stupid. If they aren't someone will be seen to take there place, regardless of intellect.
Stupid.

Well y'see, before all this stuff like science and civilisation started getting popular, we had this neat little thing called 'natural selection'. Basically it meant that if you fucked up or were otherwise unfit to survive, you got eaten by something.
To bring back some of the benefits of this, I recommend we start an international catalogue of idiots. Every 6 months or so, we have an open season on registered idiots.

The writer of the editorial above is fucking dumbass!!! I beleive those of you who diss stupid people are only finding a way to vent your frustration at your own stupidity. I agree with the dude that said the kids would have made a lot of noise if they were dying like that. There is no way that was an accident, and it should be thourghly investigated. The idea of "Stupid Island" is fucked up. Most stupid people can not help themselves, they were born that way. Most stupid people ARE NOT a threat to civilization. I, further, would not label someone stupid, some people just do not always think something out before the act;however, in this case she should not have had to think it out and I think she should be charged with murder, but not because she is stupid. Some people may act stupid when they are tired, even as a med-student I see people everyday who appear stupid that are actually much brighter than myself. I would like to end this review by saying:"lets send that asshole that wrote that editorial to "STUPID ISLAND" and not think of the "stupid" people and be sorry for the children and realize the faults of our own arrogant ass selves.

Being able to write in perfect english is not the deciding factor of someone's intelligence. That being said...
I completely agree, every single problem in the world today would be gone if stupid, irrational people were somehow done away with. I hate every reality show ever, but I would definetly watch Stupid Island, just for the sheer joy of knowing I would never have to come into contact with these people again. The fact is, they are not supposed to be alive. Survival of the fittest in nature makes damn well sure that all the weaker animals are not going to be around for very long except in extreme circumstances, and through this animals continue to grow stronger and evolve. We have stopped this. At the rate we are going, we will most likely start to regress for the first time in history. Think about it, how many children do stupid people usually have? Seven seems like a fair number. They are too dumb to realize that they will not be able to afford the expenses so many children generate, and whats worse, they have put seven more people into this world that will probably be stupid too. 'Not stupid' people see the limitations of having this many kids and raise smaller families of one through four, most of which will not be stupid. I've heard reports that say that removing stupid people from the gene pool will not push our society forward in any way, but this is just impossible, as is proven by nature.
Stupid people are who advertisers are looking for when they put their trashy commercials on tv. They are the 'masses' that they believe are so easily controlled that by saying something is cool on MTV, they will go out and buy it or start listening to it. They are the ones who pay for downloading music online because they fear the government will find them if they use Ares. They go out and make movies like 'Sky Captain and The World of Tommorrow' the #1 movie in America. These are the people who actually say things like "I wonder why people keep getting into accidents with me?", never questioning their own ability to drive. Ever have a teacher assign pointless, mindless, or otherwise trivial assignments? Guess what type of person they are. They lack the ability to think for themselves, make any type of well thought out and intelligent decisions, or contribute to society in a consistantly positive way.
I have more to say about this, but this is a good start. And I'm new here, should this just be a new topic altogether? It's kind of at the bottom of a really long page.

But before we do send stupid people away i think we should realise that we are under "stupid" rule for example dumb ass bush, hairy ass John Howard and mighty ugly blair witch. We should first get rid of stupid people that i listed then turn to "stupid" nobodies " sleeping mother of 2"/

I am an advocate of relocating stupid people to a remote desert island. First to be the idiots who pull their car in front of you to parallel park 20 feet ahead when there was no one behind you in the first place and they could have waited until you drove by.
Second would be parents who think it's okay for their teenagers to dress like sluts in Juicy and wonder why they have to pay for antibiotics. My mother would have knocked some clothes on my ass if I had Juciy written across my ass. I'm sorry (I heard this somewhere)...if I were dressed like a police officer walking down the street and someone came up to me and told me they needed help...but I wasn't an officer, just dressed like one, can I really be offended when treated like a cop. NO!! So if you dress like a slut, it is a safe assumption to assume you are a slut. Slut!
Third, the biggest idiots of all...Dubya supporters. If I got too many C's in my education courses, I couldn't be a teacher and had to retake some classes until my GPA was above a 2.5, yet he can get C's and be PRESIDENT!!!! Clinton was a Rhodes scholar for God's sake. All he did was get head under his desk in the oval office. If I was a guy, I jump on it...and lie to save my ass cuz me getting a little oral gratification has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the job I'm doing as president. I have a 24 year old friend who can't finish her degree because she keeps getting called to active duty...so much for 2 weekends a month or whatever the schpiel is. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of any more terrorist threats 3 years later. If they're supposed to be protecting this country...then why the fuck aren't they here!!!!!!!

what exactly is the basis for sending people to this island? i mean come on, there are some really dumb people out there, and there are some really smart ones. most everyone else is average. they do dumb things and they do smart things. any one of you in here who can sit in your tower and proclaim that youve never done anything "stupid" in your life is a liar. and no maybe your stupidity didnt cause someone to die, but most people arent killed in this world because of others stupidity. its vicious vile malicious people who do most of the killing. and it turns out some of societies "smartest" (highest iqs) people are serial killers.

I use stupid people everyday and enjoy it, they make me look good...little effort, in any, needed to look good on the job. If the world were not so overtaken by stupid people, we would not have to coccoon. Cocooning preserses us. I think stupid people are real good survivors in a dog eat dog world. Smart people either hide or commit suicide. God is alive, stupid people try to keep us from thinking about it. Stupid people make life easy by making minimal wages ,thereby keeping the price of food down. It's easy to hide amongst the stupid people, just play dumb and watch their constant struggle for temporary superiority. I am getting use to the fact that stupid have no valued priorities that would enhance them or lead them out. I find it a waste of time to talk to someone whom insist's on being spiritually dead. God protects me from stupid people, unless a stupid person distracts me to my death ;)

Thats fucking sick, I fell asleep in our intrepid a few days ago in 86 degree, I slept for over 3 hours in a car with black leather. When I woke up even my fingers and elbows were sweating, there was a puddle of sweat, luckily I drank lots of stuff right away. But, I think about what it took to phase me, but I started doing situps on the seat to pass the time until my buds came back, and I imagine the intensity of the heat it must have took, or the insane amount of time they had to be sitting there. Don't you think the kids would try to wake her up? YES! If she herself was feeling it too wouldn't she turn on the air conditioning? or get out of the car? I'm not so sure this was a mere accident. Who the hell goes to sleep in a car with two children in the middle of the day anyways? This woman shoul face serious reprecussions. She might be mentally distressed from losing children but, for fucks sake lady get some brains! My god! We need to put her in some sort of hospital because she seriously without question of my mind needs help. I'm not without comapssion, but this lady is what threatens the very concept of civilization and, while we are very far from civilization is it not these who lower us beyond human, beyond beastiality? No CREATURE in it's right mind would do this. Thank you for bringing this topic to the attention of many. Live Long, Live Strong, and don't make your mom mad if she still drives you around.

I do agree that stupidity should be a valid punishable offense. We as a people are stupid, and therefore tolerate it, even reward it, because normality is healthy.
Ignoring the plethora of hypocrisies, blatant misuse of english in the name of the Elite and various other moot points, here is my argument.
I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-R-T! I mean, S-M-A-R-T!
Actually... my ideal is that everyone can learn to recognize their own faults. The problem is not that stupid people exist, it's that they continue to exist without being shown the error of their ways, by their fellow stupid-man. This is not to say that we can cure stupidity through education. There is a difference between knowledge and intelligence. I mean to say that through self evaluation and honesty anyone can become an acceptable member of the human race. No one is perfect. But we can all strive to be better. It's this element in even the most dense of people that allow me to respect them.
For example: If that woman was honest with herself she may not have tried to breed in the first place. She may have had them adopted out to a more capable couple, or person. Or she may have corrected her own behavior and expanded her reasoning so that she didn't make such fatal mistakes.
Yes, she should be punished for her ignorance, for as they say, it is no excuse.

I agree with this one totally. Not only delivery ( funny as hell ) but the ideal. I take my example from the California State Drivers License Exam, wheren, while making a left turn into a left turn lane you must check your blind spot in case some idiot decides he'll break the law and pull into the lane early to bypass all of the traffic, this by the way will cause you to fail the test if you don't comply. That's total bullshit. I don't think that society should have to change and conform to a lower level of intelligence.

You CAN'T kill someone by throwing a penny off the empire state building, there's a little law of physics called terminal velocity.

this is why "i hate stupid people"
because of posts like these - and the person who said the original post was pointless and then goes on to say they have no idea why they are responding is right - because when stupid people say stupid things we feel obliged to correct them - but if we didnt then we wouldnt have to deal with stupid people. But then again if we didnt correct them would stupid people continue to say stupid things - or would they just die out - argh wish i were home smoking a bowl - maybe then i'd know what stupid is as stupid does...hmmm 1 more hour to go at work - blah

This post = Crap...real fucking crap. How it got on the most read list, and why I'm contributing to it's notoriety, I do not know...nor do I open the floor to others here suggesting things about my mother or myself as possible reasons.
Toward the bottom there someone wrote about Einstein's theory of relativity -- it really holds true in a multitude of environments and situations...even this is an applicable example. Stupid (I don't think I'll ever use that word again after this post) people perceive intelligent people as stupid because they do not value, or possess the same sensibilities, as they do -- and vice versa.
Unfortunately, nevertheless, there is not one thing that anyone can ever state that will remove the validity of the 'Common Sense vs. Intelligence' debate. The paramount thing that I can propose as a baseline means for evaluation is aptitude. That is to say that while someone possessing the common sense it takes to realize what is right from wrong may also possess the ability to function well in society (one with a strong work-ethnic working, as someone said below, for the betterment of society). That person may also be a serial murder and a great mother/father at the same time...he/she might be as queer as a football bat as well.
In the end, stupidity is not the problem this post (referring principally to the reviews it gleaned) made it out to be and there is no true way to categorize someone as 'stupid'. Lacking the aptitude to properly function in society and the comprehension of established ideas/truisms, ranging from the most basic level of understanding (Jessica Simpson) to the most superior principals (Stephen Hawking) of life is how we generally divide ourselves from our human peers.
Furthermore, and of interesting note, I have only a HS Degree...and only because I did the least mandatory effort required (in essence, no homework combined with an expert technique of taking tests from back-to-front) and, simply, did not drop out/get kicked out. I have sought no higher scholarship and decline to base my credentials upon a homogeneous certification system designed for the profit of another entity. When I was a civilian I smoked pot everyday and, from time to time, enjoyed hallucinogenic drug use...god do I miss that! I am my own man; and that way I shall stay.

It's funny that all those who ask about the penny have never thought about the damage hailstones do to people. A small hailstone is of comparable mass and surface area as a penny and is accelerated by the same force, gravity (over a distance significantly bigger than that through which a penny falls from the Empire State building, not that that matters with something so small). How many hailstones have you seen go right through somebody?**
I just have to point something out... A hailstone will have more surface area than a penny: a hailstone is a sphere, while a penny is just a squashed cylinder. Also, the hailstone will have some give to it, as hail *generally* comes only in warmer weather, and as it falls to the ground it will start melting, which makes it more likely to break apart when it hits a head than to go straight through. A penny is made out of copper, or copper coated metal. Plus it's a squashed cylinder that will fall vertically because it's more aerodynamic that way, and there's an edge to crack a head open. A falling penny will have enough force behind it that it could do some damage. I don't agree with the idea that it would go straight through, as that doesn't seem plausible to me. I do think, however, that it could be possible for it to land in such a way that it could do serious damage to someone, or to even kill if the person is positioned properly.
Just my opinion.
I do agree with stupid island... mind you... wasn't that last season of Survivor...?

No, you can't really kill someone by throwing a penny off the empire state building. All objects, when they fall in a space that has air, reach what is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the object stops accelerating because the upward movement of air is equal to the downward pull of gravity. A penny, because it is metal and has a very small surface area and mass, reaches terminal velocity very quickly. When the penny hits you, you know it because it hurts like a bitch, but you most likely will NOT die from it.

The presumption of intelligence is the surest sign of ignorance.
Translation: If you think your smart your definitely not.
Objective analysis free of complex human emotions as a distraction lead to valid solutions.
Translation: Looking at a problem without getting caught up in how you feel about it,
will help you to find a way to truly solve it.
How about killing all those who assume they are intelligent? I would vote for that.
I would limit it though; to those who have uncontrollable urges to inflict pseudo intelligence upon the rest of the population. They misquote facts, staunchly stand by and spout crazy opinions, which tons of merely innocent stupid people (like myself) believe. The result is tons of mislead stupid people... Also pseudo intellects tend to be completely annoying.
I say lets protect our stupid people from the most dangerous threat to mankind!!

I think eelie is a condescending ass. I mean, you're saying we shouldn't judge stupid people. We should "educate" them, and then you're calling those who judge stupid people condescending asses. Don't strain your brain on parsing that sentence.
Anyway, education takes a lot of time, effort, and money. And then we get stupid fucks who don't learn anyway, but the educational system says "we can hold him back. He's 67, has a normal IQ, and can't read. Let's give him welfare so the tax payers can pay for nature's mistake!"
I'd say we can save the money by taking people with no common sense (like the bitch that killed her kids by leaving them in the car) and rounding them up and shooting them. I'm sure there are some bacteria on that deserted island that don't want to be bothered by them. Why offend them?
Bottom line, there are always gonna be stupid people in the world. We all want our kids to be the next super geniusses. Not everyone can be at the top, but a hell of a lot more people can very easily sink to the bottom. Maybe intellectual purges aren't such a bad thing...

Isn't there a case to be made about the balance between the good things a person has intentionally done for society as opposed to their dumb-ass mistake(s)? I realize this case in particular is a bit extreme. But lord knows i've contributed my fair share of dumb-ass kadoozies. Especially while intoxicated. I'd cite examples, but there's so many, they should be reserved for an actual post.
Anyhow, I like to think i learned from the immediate consequences enough so that i'll at least be more careful (or clever)when the situation presents itself again. And what I've done FOR society (again, I won't go into length here, but suffice to say I'm a fucking saint when i care to be), that I hope that I will be gven a fair chance (or trial),before being sent to an island with Gilligan, Bill O'Reilly and The Enforcer.

"Hey Jean-Paul ever hear of terminal velocity? I guess not, since you can't kill
anyone with a penny even if it were dropped from the moon. "
wrong. the penny would exceed terminal velocity while in the vacuum of space+ reach earth at its entry velocity. also, you could kill someone with a penny dropped from 50 feet, but only if it is perfectly vertical on the solar plexus of a non-fat (read non-american) person

Ok, first of all, I agree with your point. However, in this situation it's the kids that are stupid for NOT REALIZING THAT THEY'RE DYING. I mean, the mother was in the car with them.

The TV show Myth Busters did an experiment on the penny tossed off the Empire
State building and proved it wouldn't kill anyone. But at 100 miles up it could
obtain a speed of around 800 MPH. Space is a vacuum and allows a higher

1. According to a poll I've seen, 89% of the people believe they are smarter than average.
2. Stupid people can be soooo nice!
3. Just about every parent I know has walked 3 steps from their car, only to realize their child is still in it. The problem is that car seats face backwards, so you can't see 'em, and when you get in the car, they fall asleep, so you can't hear 'em either. After a few minutes of driving, it's easier than you would think to forget they are there.
Honestly, that's one of my worst nightmares, because I can see how it could happen.
Finally, to the guy who was convinced Americans are so stupid, let me point to this fact:
From 1951 - 2000, the U.S. has won more Nobel Prizes in the sciences than the rest of the world combined. U.S. Scientist have won 59% of all Nobel prizes for physics, 46% of all Nobel prizes for chemistry, and 59% of all Nobel prizes for medicine. In real terms, the U.S. won 171 Nobel prizes in the sciences from 19501-2000. As a comparison, during that same period Canadians won 6, while the French won just 11.
More recently, from 1990 -1999 Americans won 65% of all Nobel Prizes in the science categories, and 77% of the world's Nobel prizes in science were given to researchers at American institutions.

The way I look at it is you cant get rid of them. If you took all the stupid people on earth, they wouldnt fit onto an island. Which of course means that all of the stupid people would end up with the continents of north and south america, africa, and possibly asia. In fact I think there might be enough smart people on earth to maybe, (mind you MAYBE) create a sustainable population for an island the size of jamacia. This could be a problem when it came down to it in the end because after a while the intelligant people would be inbred and therefore become just as stupid as the rest of the world. I do agree that stupidity is the worlds greatest problem, but hell it cant be helped. Its the human way.

apparently, this jackass jared is a guy who prides himself on his ability to correct other people's grammar. in addition, it wouldn't be too hard to believe that jared has a number of relatives who would be condemned to the "stupid island", which of course would make him very reluctant to create one. the general premise, which was not misguided, makes a lot of sense. in this society, we constantly forgive people for the most heinous crimes, etc., many times due to stupidity. the problem is that decades ago we prevented them from procreating. since we are no longer doing that, we are propogating our problem to future generations, which will inevitably lead to more dolts like jared populating our planet. by the way, jared, i didn't have a chance to proofread this post, so rather than critiquing that aspect, try actually confronting the content.

Before you call people stupid, you perhaps should look in the mirror.
You don't even know the difference between "here" and "hear."
Furthermore, who draws the line of where stupid is a killable offense? Just from examining your inability to string together a sentence, it leads me to believe you are stupider than I. Does this mean it should be legal for me to kill you?
Someone in the ratings said something I found funny: "You seem to be ranting on stupid people (acceptable) however before you do so stop and think, "Am I just as dumb as them?"
"Them" should be "they." Oh, the irony...

Blasts at block as man welds fuel tank
TWO explosions rocked the Bukit Panjang neighbourhood on New Year's Day, after a man attempted to weld shut a leak in the fuel tank of his motorcycle in his flat.
The fuel tank of this motorbike had been leaking, and the owner had removed it to repair it in his flat, after emptying the petrol into a pail. --
The 39-year-old man, who was alone at home at the time, had dismantled the tank and emptied the petrol into a pail before he took it up to his sixth-floor flat.
He then started to fix the leak in the tank using a soldering torch outside the toilet, but some of the petrol that had spilled on his hand caught fire.
While he was trying to put out the flames in a panic, the sparks ignited the petrol fumes from the pail, causing the first explosion that shook the block.
Some of the burning petrol then apparently trickled down the sewerage pipe and within minutes there was a second, more powerful explosion in the underground pipes.
One manhole cover was blown to pieces and two others popped open, according to residents in the area.
The man suffered light burns on his left hand, but he refused to be taken to a hospital for treatment.
The toilet was badly damaged.

Stupid Croatians
Eastern Europe is well known for its harsh winters. Croatian Zlatko Grdn, 52, has presumably seen his fair share of them. But in temperatures which recently dropped low enough to play havoc with outdoor machinery, Grdn was exasperated to find his car had fallen victim to the weather. After repeatedly refusing to start, he diagnosed the problem as being a frozen engine. The decision process which followed is perfectly logical, just insane.
How do you defrost something? You warm it up of course. And how do you warm things up? You get a fire going.
Grdn retrieved some old newspapers, stuffed them under the engine and lit them. Whether or not he wandered off out of concern for his safety or
simply though boredom, I do not know. However, wander off he he did and was therefore downgraded from a candidate for a Darwin to an Honourable Mention when his car exploded in a fireball. A heartbroken Grden told local media: "I couldn't start the engine and realised it was frozen. I decided to warm it up. Now my lovely car is destroyed".
Luckily, Grden now thinks he has identified what went wrong. "Maybe I used too much paper", he said

Thus they should not be allowed to intermingle before being effectivly rendered sterile. The last thing we need are more stupid people and the problem is they do not realize that they are unfit candidates for procreation, seeing as they fit the prerequisite of being stupid. I would like to take this opportunity to plead for people to ask themselves if they are A to stupid to procreate or B to ugly. Seriously folks, this is an important question to ask oneself.

Who said you was intelligent? If you was to say "Us pussies" or even "Us self-righteous
assholes" or even "Us people that think we're better then everyone".
Stupid people have every right to live in society. You are a Hitler wanna be and a

I don't think eliminating/quarantine "stupid" people is the answer, but denying them the right to be responsible for others, dosen't seem to far fetched. Just because you can procreate shouldn't mean that you should be allowed to care for children. There should be a testing system for the right to procreate. Just like getting a drivers license, if you can't show promise of being a safe driver during testing then you fail, privalage denied. And if question #45 has to be "is it a good idea to sleep in a hot car" then so be it. You can't blame the mother, I believe it is the system that failed because no one told her she was too stupid to properly care for kids. I don't know how it works wherever these people are from but where I live, you can be charged for leaving your dog in a hot car while your in the store. So this mother needs to be made an example of at the very least, "you are never allowed to be in a position to care for anything ever again".

If you're afraid to type the word "motherfucker" in the context of stupid people then maybe you don't even realize how much of a danger stupidity is. STOP BITCHING. And BTW, a penny dropped off the Empire State Building won't do anything to anyone, that's an urban legend, and the fastest a penny can travel is 80 mph. Maybe if you weren't so STUPID you would know that, FUCKWHAD.

Oh come on its pretty obvious the sons were infants or something like that. Also a penny can't kill someone from buildings but things like pens will fall like arrows. So you still have a point (ha!! i said point as in a pen) that stupid people can drop and stuff and kill people.

um.... I hope this editorial wasn't submitted anywhere. First off, noone deserves to be called that. And second, a penny coming from the top of the empire state building would not kill you. While that person was being stupid, one would wonder why she didn't die herself if her sons did. And why didn't the sons just get out of the car or wake the mother up? Do you have all of your facts? Don't forget: your "stupid people" have emotions too, how would you like it if someone dumped you on and island with a whole group of judge makers and people who use degrading names?

Terminal velocity has to do with density of an object, and the aerodynamics of said object, not its mass, nor its weight. A packed parachute falls faster than an open parachute even though they have the same mass. A skydiver's terminal velocity runs from 125 mph to about two hundred miles an hour depending on their posture. I would hazard a guess that a penny is as dense if not denser than most people (that is in a purely physics sense). Which basically means its going a lot faster than thirty miles an hour. In any case it would be much much slower than a bullet. a penny may or may not spin, may or may not catch a downdraft, etc, so an exact speed would be very hard to guess. As to whether it would be a lethal impact... If the penny hit on edge, it would be delivering a fairly large amount of force to a very small area. It would definately hurt, and most definately pose a real hazard to children who's skulls havent grown together all the way.
I'm not a physics geek, so feel free to make corrections as needed.

k... you cannot kill someone if you drop a penny off of the empire state building, you imbecile. There is something known as terminal velocity, this is based on the mass of the object being dropped, a penny being of extremely low weight has a poor terminal velocity; it should not get moving any faster than 30 mph on a non-windy day, even if this hit someone in the temple at this rate nothing would happen because speed does not change mass, and force is dependent on mass. You seem to be ranting on stupid people (acceptable) however before you do so stop and think, "Am I just as dumb as them?"

THANK YOU! I've been saying for years that i hate stupid people! There was once a comedian who had an act about how everyone who's stupid should wear a sign to protect the rest of us from them, which doesn't sound so bad either. I believe that legislation should begin on laws concerning stupid people. For example, people who ask if they can use their social security card for their picture I.D. And when you inform them that it has no picture on it, they say, "that's o.k. though, right, because it has MY name here. i can prove it's my name too. See, here's my licence." Those of us who deal with these kind of people should be OBLIGATED TO STONE these "stupid people" under this new legislation. Know what I'm saying? Thanks for saying everything for me.

As I have taught at the college level for a few years now I have seen some rather stupid individuals pass my way. One for instance did not head my warning not to add potasium permanginate to the hexane (this causes a nice red fire that burns through aluminum). Well when the red glow reached his hand he still did not remove his hand from the beaker until he recieved 3rd degree burns up his arm. If it were not for legal reasons I would not warn my students about the dangers of mixing some chemicals because it would teach others that they should pay attention to what they are doing. It would also be helpful if society would decrease medical coverage to those that have preformed stupid acts upon themselves or others. If someone were to come into the hospital with a self inflicted gun shot would becasue they were stupid enough to mess around with a 357 mag and forget to check to see if it was loaded then do we really have to fix them up or just cut off the limb and tell them not to do it again. I firmly believe the idiot that eats the peanuts on a plane even though they are allergic to them does not need to be procreating. Society has removed natural selection from the evelutionary scheme of human life thus the prevelance of ignorance in todays society. Everyone has done stupid things in their life but the ones that do not learn that they should pay attention deserve everything that happens to them and I feel no pity towards their plights.

"Oops, I didn't realize that if I throw a penny off the top of the Empire State building that it could kill someone on the side walk."
actually it couldnt kill someone, because the penny has too much surface area and it would fly far away and it wouldnt get enough power to kill someone, but that isnt the point.
people should not be able to be as stupid as some people are, so they should be executed or kept with other dumbasses and nutcases and away from the smart people, but it will be hard to determine a level of intellect that should be atained in order to live with the regular people and away from the retards.

why doesn't anyone know the basic physics of something dropping?? when something falls, it has a constant acceleration ACTING on it of 9.8ms/s. Everything does NOT have the same terminal velocity. The object will continue to accelerate until it reaches the terminal velocity, and then it stops accelerating, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't have gravity acting on it, its just because the forces are balanced due to friction etc so it carries on going at the same speed and oh dear that penny would hurt.

Yeah genius, you're telling me that a feather and a lawn dart have the same terminal velocity?

Hey JP, Did you hear about the woman out here in California who threw her 3 yr old in a triple-loader washer machine? Apparently (because of all of the lawsuits of other stupid people who have stuck thier arm into the washer machine while it was still spinning and having thier arm ripped off) there is no way to open the door once it starts. So she was screwing around or something and pushed her kid in the washer, closed the door and that shit sealed up tighter than a drum and started spinning for over 5 mins until firemen came and smashed the front glass out with an ax and rescued the girl. The Moms in jail now. What a stupid ass. And the irony is that if it werent for all the stupid people before her who fucked up and opened the door too soon and got hurt...she would have been able to open the door herself. This is a case of stupid hurting stupid. Except the kid she was 3, she's not stupid it her dumb ass welfare mother

Though it's definitely a thought provoking concept, there are a lot of holes in the idea of killing all the stupid people- including why they exist in the first place, their role in society, and how fair is it to do away with all of them.
The idea of someone being stupid is entirely relative. You could say that anyone is stupid, but we're all hell of a lot smarter than, say, turtles or chickens. There are thousands of ways to classify knowledge; is it merely how educated you are, or is intelligence also determined by your ability to memorize, react, or speak? Who decides this is completely objective, and the rationale of their decision is affected by their own relative level of intelligence. Take a look at that woman whose two children tragically died in her car- she could have been a college graduate capable of reciting Shakespeare or finding integrals. Yet she made one bad decision, and though it was certainly her fault, it does not necessarily make her a complete moron. Therefore, making the call on wether or not someone is stupid is impossible to do. The only people who can be defined as definitely having less mental capability than the average man is someone with mental retardation or down syndrome. And, quite frankly, that is not really fair to those people in the slightest if we decide that they shall be killed or shipped off to an island.
The thing that truly bothers me about stupidity, is that in America people are able to survive, and even thrive, through their lack of knowledge. Many occupations require no thought, merely the ability to do physical labor. And god knows you don't need much of a brain to sit in front of the TV all day. If somoene feels like it, they can go to work digging ditches or the like, and then go home and sit in their house vegging out. Since it is so easy to survive without learning or advancing yourself, many people regress into a state of very little accomplishment. This, combined with the lack of community in todays modern world, means that people lose a sense of reasoning as well as morals. They lose a mental edge gained by education and intellectual stimulus and therefore often make bad decisions, such as leaving their children in the car, driving a car with rediculously low gas mileage, or basically just "doing whatever the hell I feel like doing" despite the consequences to others and themselves, in the long term. This, which you tackled in your editorial, are definitely things that are problems. If people ar encouraged by corporations and the economy to become mindless consumer-puppets, then the behavior of this woman will, and has been, occuring on a much larger scale. It doesn't always result directly in the death of a child, but helps create problems such as AIDS, pollution, poor local and national government, and terrible foreign relations to name a few.
It is pretty much proven that everyone has a base level of intelligence that they are capable of. The thing that dictates how this brain power manifests and what it leads to is based on the impact of society and the person's experiences throughout their lifetime. Killing all the "stupid" people won't make the problem go away if we all go back to our lives exactly the same way after that. It needs to be ensured that people grow up in a stimulated, educated, and moral social group so that they do not regress into what is viewed as "the American slob."

Thats a bloody brilliant idea but sadly we (the British) have already done it. After lurring all the more retarded members of society (ie. the Pilgrims) onto a boat, we shipped all the dumb fuckers of the continent. Sadly we failed to realise that ignorance and savagery are so closely intwined. No intelligence, no grasp on morality. Ah well. We could never have known. Anyway, once all these dumb fucks slaughtered all the natives, they grew to become the most powerful, and yet disfunctional country on the planet. Want proof. Em, Bush is your leader. This is a man who would struggle getting a job as a roadsweep in most normal countries. So, my friend, your island of retards is alive and well, and believe us, it's not as ammusing as you might think.

Yeah, I say we should just create one big state, just for morons. I don't know. North Dakota or something. We could have a big fence around it with barbed wire at the top. The only way to get people in is by catapult.
The only problem I see with this idea is that I don't know anyone (myself included) that doesn't fit the description of "stupid." So North Dakota probably won't be big enough.

Stupid people seem to be a very hot topic around here. This will be the third time I will have posted my solution and ideas on stupid people.
Ok, the problem is stupid people are infecting our society, and at worst are making it unsafe. But contrary to what I've said before, stupid people do have their uses.
That's right! Stupid have a purpose in life. They are the bulk of the entire world. You think if we were all equally smart on a higher level of intelligence the world would be a better place? No, not for you. If you are considered of a higher intelligence, then right now you are the winner. The world is a race, and dumb people are all the way in the back. If you kill them all off then you are now the one in the back.
If stupid people didn't exist, we wouldn't have anyone to fuel our economy. No one to buy a $1,200 dollar car and put $1,500 dollar rims and racing stripes on it. No one to buy hooked on phonics, or those 'learn how to use the computer' CD's or any of the other crap intelligent people use to make money off the people damned to being stupid.
No one to waste their lives in pursuit of becoming an actor or a rock star or a rapper (eminem fans especially) means more competition for us.
Worst of all... No stupid people = NO JERRY SPRINGER! Now who doesn't like to watch red necks have a good ol' fashioned brawl once in a while?
So next time you meet face to face with a stupid person, thank them for existing, then take a few extra steps back incase they have scissors in their hand or something.
Finally, my solution. Create official reservations for people with an I.Q. below 101. We already have Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, and other such states, lets send some SWAT teams in there to rescue any intelligent people in there (if any), then find some sort of way to attract stupid people to there.
I don't know... make a trail or candy or something.
Then, all we have to do is contain them there somehow and keep them from escaping and breeding/mating in our society.
P.S. sorry for such a long post.

My solution to stupid people removal is to remove all the warning labels on products. Natural selection. If you were too stupid not to realise that the food you have just taken out the oven may be hot, then you deserve to get burned.
I also think that this whole litagation society has got a lot to answer for. Companies are now being sued for things that they didn't disclaim. I think it should be the other way round and they shouldn't have to disclaim things. However is something they do claim causes someone to have an accident or whatever, then fair enough, they shuold be sued.

I got very pissed off today about a stupid mother that let her 3 year old toddler be killed.
We have had seriously bad gales in parts of Britain today, winds of up to 70-80 miles per hour, everyone advised to stay indoors and not go out unless absolutely necessary etc. Well 6 people have died today (mostly traffic related accidents due to the bad weather and falling trees) but one fatality was a little 3 year old boy.
What had his mum decided to do with him today in the midst of the stormy weather? Take him on a nice walk to the woodlands! A tree fell on his pushchair while he was inside it.
What the fuck?? This is the same type of person who would take shelter under a tree in a lightening storm. Stupid fucking bitch. If anyone deserved to die because of her lack of common sense it certainly wasn't her son. Hell of a way to realise how stupid you are.

Sometimes I think that stupidity is in everyone (no offence to everyone). I mean everyone is lacking in some way - you could excel in school, but be crippled in sports or something like that. Relating back to the whole Stupid Island idea, I guess they could further sort themselves into what they think they're good at. You get all the jocks trying to be the best and attract the most boys and the illiterate trying to prove that they can judge a book by its cover. Anyhow, before you all start bashing the 'stupid', please look back into yourselves and see if you might belong in the 'stupid' category. Now, if you're using 'stupid' to refer to the lack of common sense, these people will mostly kill themselves due to their 'stupidity', thereby eliminating the cost of sending them off to Stupidity Island. If you wanna speed things up a little, why not start removing the warning labels on various things (ie. power tools) and add a little chlorine to the genetic pool?
With the dropping a coin off a building - if anyone was stupid enough to try this then they'll probably learn that the only way to see 'which falls faster: a tennis ball or a baseball' is to throw themselves off at the same moment and find out just before they hit the pavement. After all, the ability to fly is to fall and miss the ground ... it's so stupid it just might work. (heh heh heh)

I think we have a consensus here! Stupid people suck.
(In reply to Davy Mid's problem: When the pigeons take off, they are creating as much force downward with the wind created by their flapping wings as they themselves weigh. Therefore, the truck will weigh the same. Stupid truck drivers and trying to cheat)
Although I agree that stupid people are incredibly annoying and most should be banished from the rest of society, some have to be left with the rest of us for we will have no way of knowing where do draw the line between smart people and stupid people when all we have to compare ourselves to is ourselves, which makes no sense. Secondly, who would we laugh at when we are down, and who will make us look better when we are embarrassed if we got rid of all the stupid ones?

I was pleasantly surprised with the physics discussions. It seems that some people actually do pay attention in school. Before I get to the meat of my post, I would like to give you some potatoes: Anyone who uses the abbreviation ppl or pple or whatever the hell you retards use should not have the right to complain about stupidity!
And now for the meat:
I like stupid people because they give me something about which to complain (that sentence sounds weird because I didn't end it with a preposition). If I've got nothing to complain about, I'll complain about being bore. Also we need to keep stupid people around to make us non-idiots look smart. If everyone gets a thirty-two on their ACT, then the guy who gets a thirty-one looks like an assbag. I also find it ironic that Einstein (the man who ended the earlier physics debate) had very little formal education.
That's all. Thank you.

Just spotted this on a news web site
Never Ask A Bison To Smile...
"An injured tourist gored by a bison after he tried to take its photograph has been told he faces criminal charges.
Paul Jocelyn, 37, received a puncture wound in his inner right thigh as well as scrapes and bruises after he was chased by the huge bull bison in America's world famous Yellowstone National Park.
He was attacked after walking in front of the grazing animal to see if it would raise its head for a better picture.
But the angry bison chased Jocelyn into the trees and tossed him into the air. It then stared at other startled visitors for several minutes before walking away and resuming its grazing.
30mph sprint
Park officials said Jocelyn now faces charges of harassing wildlife. It is against the law to go within 25 yards of wildlife at the park.
Jocelyn, from Minnesota, was between three to five yards away when he was attacked. No action will be taken against the bull.
Visitors are warned to stay far away from bison, who appear very docile, but weigh up to a tonne and can sprint up to 30 miles an hour."
This is the best bit "No action will be taken against the bull."

I tried really hard to keep out of this post, hell I even made a new one to pull the physics away. Alas, it seems my efforts were in vain. I never found out for sure if the truck got heavier (although I suspect it would - regardless of it's air tightness), I even ran an internet search to find if I was right, closet thing I stumbled upon was that your coffee would be hotter after you answered the phone if you added the milk first.
As for the penny, I read an interesting report somewhere about a murder in USA. Lady gets shot in her car while driving along the high way, but the angle makes it seem as if the gunman was flying by (flat enough area, not tall buildings to shoot from). After much investigation, it turns out a kid on a farm 3 MILES AWAY was shooting cans with his rifle. One bullet bounced off something (i'm assuming not the can, but I forget) traveled up into the sky, stopped (it's vertical velocity anyways) came back down and hit the lady in the head. They even suspect if she'd had her window closed she would have survived. I'm not sure if this is an internet propoganda story, sounds abit too kooky to by true ... but who knows.
Conclusion: You stand under the penny. I sure as hell ain't.

Ok, as a humble college student having successfully completed Physics 011.
An object in a complete, true vaccuum would continue to accelerate without bounds. In our case, it would accelerate without bounds until it hit the center of the earth. The problem is, of course, that an object would NEVER hit any insane velocities anywhere NEAR C (not even those interesting velocities used when studying relativity like .8C, etc), simply because gravity would only accelerate the object at 9.8 m/s. With enough time and distance this would be possible, but we're dealing with limited space here, and radius of the earth simply isn't big enough to allow this to happen (plus, that'd have to be one HELL of a vacuum chamber).
As far as the original dispute, the penny off the empire state building, after doing a bunch of research it seems the penny would not kill someone, for as previously stated the terminal velocity of the penny would not be enough to kill someone.

Thanks JDigg. Surely this is turning into a physics forum. Right, on a completely different tack, here's one to melt your brain, which you may or may not have heard before. And before you all write back saying "its so obvious, the answer is this or that", I've asked numerous professional physicists and I haven't got the same answer twice.
The problem is this:
A truck is carrying a consignment of pigeons. All are inside the truck sitting on perches. The truck has to pull off the road to get weighed on a weigh-bridge. However, just before the weigh-bridge operator presses the button to take the weight of the truck, a gun goes off, which scares all of the pigeons. They all take off, so that the instant when the truck is measured, all the birds are in the air.
SO: does the truck weigh less, the same, or more than it would have done had all the birds been perched?
Again, answers on a postcard please.

Haha, this is turning into a bad physics arguement. Perhaps a new post is required. All but Davy and Zanz please avert your eyes, reading this could result in extreme nerdyness.
That's very interesting about hairyness. I would never have guessed as much. It would seem in attempt to sound smart I ended up prooving once again my lack of intelligence. I actually went a head and read up on how inertia relates to terminal velocity, and it would seem I was mistaken. However, I am correct in that heavy objects fall faster. The key lies in Constant acceleration, not constant Force, due to gravity. Please go here if your interested:
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/newtlaws/u2l3e.html
As to the ever accelerating ping pong ball in the vacuum ... after reading this comment I would like you to know I beat my head against the desk mutliple times. I'm VERY sorry zanz, as I know believe I see precisely what you were talking about (I think). So now that I see what you meant, let me answer the question that no - the factor of aerodynamics causes an object to reach a terminal velocity long before relativistic mass change occurs. Although I'm sure you've deduced as much by now. *Really wishes he'd said something else now*
But - it does occur, however I'm a little shakey on the theory. What I do know is it becomes more and more diffcult to accelerate an object as it picks up speed. If you ever wished to accelerate it to the speed of light, you would need - u guessed it - an infinte amount of force. Quite impossible.
I think I'll leave it at this. If you want more info: think Non-Classical, check out Einstein, and ask Zanz. It's all relative. That stuff makes my head hurt.

Thanks for tghe input JDiggity- very useful and lucidly put. I don't know about the ping pong ball and the coin- I have to confess I just guessed some figures for terminal velocity. I don't see what inertia has to do with thing though- this to me is the rate at which an object will respond to an external force, and is instringently linked to momentum. Any high school students want to take up the experiment? 3 precepts for this experiments though:
1. Both the coin and the ping-pong ball should be allowed to reach terminal velocity
2. The coin should be tested falling flat side down, edge down and spinning for experimental accountability.
3. It must be carried out in a windless environment.
To respond to your point re: the tennis ball and baseball, the tennis ball is slower because it's hairy, which actually dramatically affects drag. The baseball however is smooth.
And a question, for which I don't have the answer. If all of these terminal velocity effects are because of air resistance, then what happens in a vacuum? Will objects, if allowed, achieve almost unlimited velocity approaching the speed of light? Answers on a postcard please.

This artical is the kicker of all ass. lol
Anyways, as much as I hate to blow up a useless point, I would like to throw my 2 cents (or 1 penny's as it were) worth at this coin issue:
Zanz, let me try and explain terminal velocity incase the subject got lost in the debate of whose mom fucked who:
Everthing on or near the world has a force applied to it caused by the world's mass, which is rather big. As you may know, if you apply a force to something (ie, u push it), it does something physicists refer to as "accelerate".
Well then, the question is to determine how much force is applied to cause this acceleration due to gravity. This value is determined largely by their respective masses and the distance between them. Since the mass of the world is so insanely huge, however, the distance and mass of object being pulled towards the earth is usually "negligable" in that it doesn't matter. (in the case of the moon however, the distance does matter - which is one reason why the penny wielding assassin stationed on the moon would be rather inffective).
This would lead us to believe that everything should accelerate at the exact same rate, or in physics terms give us a "Constant Acceleration Due to Gravity". The question about how fast an object will fall is unfortunately slightly more complicated, as Dr. Mid so kindly pointed out.
Experiment 1) Take two object of the same wieght. Shape one as a parachute and one as a slender rocket-like device. Drop them. Do they hit ground at the same time?
Answer: No
Why do you ask? (if you don't you may want to find something else to read) Well, let me tell you. It turns out that when something is falling, it is actually being pulled through the air by the acceleration due to gravity. The rate at which something accelerates towards the earth is determined by NOT ONLY the acceration due to gravity but also the amount of air it is currently displacing. Naturally the next step is to figure out how much air our mystery item displacing. It turns out this depends both on their shape and their current "velocity" (speed).
-Certain shapes will "displace" (or push out of the way) more air then others. While there is no simple formula to describe this, if you are interested in this idea try pulling/pushing various shapes through a bathtub full of water. Displacement gases like air and liquids like water are very similar situations ... I believe.
-The velocity effect on the other hand is simple to describe: The faster an object goes, the more air it comes into contact with in a given time period, and the more the air "resists" the movement of the object.
Eventually, the pull of the earth and the resistance of the air are the exact same force applied in different directions, and the object ceases to Accelerate, it simply continues on at the same velocity. It has now reached "Terminal Velocity".
It does not take a long time to reach, however if you ever do drop a coin you will notice it falls straight down, i.e. it will strike the ground with the rounded edge, not the flat side. This leads me to believe a terminal veloicty of 10 m/s is rather strigent, but then again I'm one Ph.D. short of some people's current intellect so I could be wrong.
I do, however, have a question for the all knowing Dr. Mid:
In your article it states that a baseball and a tennis ball have different terminal velocities, yet on speculation I do not observe a significant difference in shape (which causes 'drag') to account for this.
How do you account for this using the model u described and I also attempted to explain? I'll give you a hint: it starts with (in) and ends with (ertia).
In a similar comparison, a pingpong ball will reach a terminal velocity of 9 m/s after 10 m accroding to your article opposed to your imaginary penny which reaches 10 m/s after 12 m. Thus my calculations suggest if I were to drop a coin and a ping pong ball 1 m, I should barely notice the difference. I challenge you to try this and assert it works, I assure you it won't.
Anyways, I've disturbed enough shit for one day. Hope this was helpful!
Time for dinner!

Tell you what, we'll just send out a survey to every registered address with one question:
A 300 foot tall spruce is about to fall on you.
Do you:
A. Step out of the way
B. What's a spruce?
C. Leave your kids in the car with the windows up
D. Stand there. To move would disrupt the Circle of Life
E. Know that just this once, the magic powers that you knew you had deep within you, will now manifest and blow this spruce to smithereens
Everybody who takes this test and sends it back will automatically be censused and shipped to the island. I'll be getting my check from the FOX network any day now.

Very nice that you are only 25 and on £45K very nice, being 22 and only three years away from your age things looking rosey even without a 1st and a PHD I got time to do that shit Life has been good to me even without GCSE's (Nothing to do with laziness or being stupid) Nothing wrong in being a geek I was the geek but never managed to do a single piece of homework so not the fully-fledged geek. If that's what has got you as far as you have then fair fucking play, I know I'm on the direction I want to be UNI or no UNI and I will still be living comfortably as I am now in years to come but with out all the effort you seam to have put in, I know what i need to know now and learn the rest later when it is applicable
My spelling and grammar are of no matter to me when I'm on site like this, however I AM a product of a failed education system which we are seeing the back end of now, I will be the first to admit that my reports always said under achieving there are reason for that and it was not laziness I have always had a passion for learning hence why I asked you to point out what to you was an obvious mistake. Not sure a shell suit wearing chain-smoking son of a female paedophile would at all be interested in discussing the effects of gravity? So you couldn't have fucked my mum, Any body that falls under the above category if you wanna chip in and let me know if dropping a coin off of a tall building would kill a person interests you then shit it could have been my mum!
I have learnt something new cheers, maybe should have learnt it at school but hey fuck it, not something I deal with day to day
Wouldn't know what a social security form looks like. Though shame on you for your general stereotypical elitist views I hope that one-day you learn some humility the hard way. A decade on welfare might do you some good. Hey even your head might make an appearance from your arse!

Fuck me. It gets worse. OK, Zans38 (below), allow me to explain.
First, the science. Objects falling from any height will eventually reach a terminal velocity as the drag caused by air resistance on the object retards the effects of gravitational acceleration. Go to http://pweb.jps.net/~dbaird/phyz/BOP/2.02FRCS/G-Terminal_Speed.pdf if you want to know more. This is based purely on the shape of the object and hence its aerodynamic properties. A 10cm radius ball of rubber will hit the ground at the exact same velocity as a 10cm radius ball made of iron. THIS IS FACT. Oviously the ball made of iron would hurt more, as it impacts with greater force, the momentum at impact being Velocity x Mass. Now a coin (which is disc-shaped and therefore has poor aerodynamics) would have a terminal velocity of ~10m/s. A 25c coin weighs ~0.02N, with a mass of ~0.002g. This gives a maximum impact momentum of 0.02kg(m/s). This is small. This would hurt. It sure as fuck wouldn't kill you. p.s. this hypothetical coin reaches 95% velocity after about 12m, about the height of a 4-storey building. Drop it form any higher than this, and your coin ain't getting any faster.
Right, on to the other issues. You're not the product of a "Conservitive" Government, you're a product of being a lazy bastard who pissed your life away in school when you should have been studying, you fucking waster. Are you seriously calling me a geek for achieving in life, unlike you? And yes, I have a 1st class honours degree and a Ph.D. You probably don't know what that is because it's not a social security form. I earn £45000 a year. I'm 25. If that's what you get for being a "geek" then change my name to Cuthbert and pass me my motherfucking stamp collection.
p.s. I didn't hand in my homework on time, I was too busy screwing your mummy while you were smoking behind the local shops with your bumfluff-moustached, shellsuit-wearing mates, Deano and Steeky. Wanker.

I'm not american, I'm British,
The point i thought i was trying to make was that Gravitaional wieght? would be gained as an object fell thus you would be more likely to kill somebody the higher a dense object fell ONLY A stupid person would contradict me here by say "well a feather or a sheet of paper wouldn't" in response to people like that "USE YOUR FUCKING COMMON SENSE" I still stand by my question until somebody can explain to me why it is wrong

Jesus Christ. Zanz38 below is clearly the epitomy of exactly this level of stupidity you describe. At first, I thought your views were maybe a little harsh, even Draconian.But after reading the message below I fully understand your point. This pleb is so stupid that he is clearly a danger to himself, his family and society in general. It is so full of stupid comments that I won't go into them in detail. But I feel compelled to at least correct his trailer park grammar and spelling so typical of you bloody Americans. It should read:
"I consider myself to be fairly bright. However, I thought if you dropped a penny from the Eiffel Tower/Empire State Building that you would in fact kill a person due to the gravity effects and maximunm impact speed. I know the penny will not go any faster than if dropped it from 1ft to 1000ft. I also thought that it would be the weight that it would pick up that would do it!!"
Obviously this is just as flawed (I didn't know things picked up weight when they fell- those skydivers must be fat bastards by the time they hit the ground), but at least it reads properly. I'm off to climb a clock tower and pop some bloody stupid Americans. Cheers.

Oh, and to the genius who posted the previous review... if you dropped a penny from the moon it would fall... about four feet, and it would land... on the moon. I guess you were right though, it definitely wouldn't kill anyone there.

Hey Jean-Paul ever hear of terminal velocity? I guess not, since you can't kill
anyone with a penny even if it were dropped from the moon.

Ok, just a little thought of mine! You must be stupid because if you drop a penny off the eifle tower IT CANT KILL ANYONE. Obviously you haven't learned about velocity and momentum. Im a sophomore in highschool and I even know that if you drop a penny off something it hits a maximum speed and won't kill anyone. Its the same as dropping a feather off the tower. It can't start going faster and faster! It would hurt just as bad if you dropped a penny off a 2 story building, or even the roof of a one story house! Catch up on ur sciences!!!!

Alright, here is my two cents on this topic.
1st: Stupidity should be painful. That is a common thought I get when reading the ranking and replies to this message. In fact, I rather believe that stupidity is painful, just not to the people whom we classify as stupid. Stupidity on the scale we have seen )that befitting the Darwin Awards) is seldom dangerous to those committing the act. Rather, the rest of society, and the innocent bystanders, are the victims. Look at all the warnings you see on a daily basis that we take for granted. The warning on the coffee lid at your local coffee house. "Warning, contents may be hot." The only reason that is there is because someone didn't realize that the coffee was going to be hot and took a big drink from it. This started a chain of law suits and finally, a nice warnign label that we all generally ignore.
Now, I'm not saying that we shouldn't have these warnings and such, but you have to think about why these warnings exsist. Some one didn't bother to think for a second and made a stupid decision. I would like to meet the person who has never made a "bad" choice and suffered for it. We all do stupid, even "bonehead", acts from time to time. That doesn't make it right, it makes it Human.
2nd: I am gogin to quote some rather startling facts that I have witnessed over the past years. I hope you are all as appalled as I am by these facts.
In the United States alone we have seen a dramatic increase in the population in what is considered "low income" and "poverty" areas. Within these areas the average educational level is roughly that of a 6th grade education. These areas also have a higher rate of violent and "ignorant" crimes. So, those who are uneducated are reporducing faster, creating another generation of children that, if they survive the native violence in their areas, will breed more, insuring that the "stupid" gene continue to propogate.
Also, the number of "intelligent" people (those who have college educations and work a steady job with productive influence on society) breeding has declined drastically. Work and the natural laws of paying bills and having a better life style than they were raised with forces the "intelligent" people to focus on things other than procreation. As a general rule, these are the doctors and engineers that are building a "brighter future" for the next generation.
I will agree that Education has little to actually do with a persons "stupidity factor", but I do tend to see that those who are educated generally do not make those stupid choices that lead to the death of one or more innocent people (outside of those intelligent folks who develope weapons for the military). Education, IQ, the SAT/ACT examines, and any other means we use to determine how "intelligent" a person is has only a small impact on their chances of doing a "stupid" act, based on common sense, but these are the same people who will actually take the time to read some of the lables and warnigs they see through out their lives. Granted, most of them will ignore those warnings and signs.
There is a fine balance between common sense and education. Without this balance there is actually no chance of ever bettering the whole of the human species. Stupidity is in fact painful, it is painful to the rest of society. We need to take the stand and initative to do something about it, before it destorys us all.

Though we all hate stupid ppl, we cant always just class them all the same... what makes a person stupid? I have a college degree and didnt do too bad on the SAT does that make me smart... how about if the dumb blonde that just ran you over scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT but things you can drown a fish if you put too much water in the tank...
It all boils down to common sense... thats all you really need to appear intelligent, all those "smart" ppl out there arent always as quick witted as you think because they lack the simple common sense that others have. Common sense tells a person that the heat in the car could be lethal especially to young kids...
Common sense also tells you not to drive drunk... but look how many morons kill others on the road these days... now thats a shame... slap on the back of the hand and a judge tells them not to do it again... how many have to die before those morons are put on idiot island...

Here's a proof positive example of why we need copy editors. Great ideas, bad mechanics. "Here me out" and "tree falling down incident" (should be "tree felling incident," I believe). Reading beyond all that you see alot of good ideas (stupid people are really very dangerous), and some hilarious concepts (like the Stupid Survivor thing, that's just awesome).
But those other oversights don't lend alot of credence to your ideas. Especially when you're talking smack on stupid people, you cannot afford to make stupid mistakes. Overall, a good read despite the flawed delivery, as it had quality where it counts: in the concept.
