I don't get it

A 17 year old girl dates a 21 year old with a record of abuse and then kills her baby by dropping him on a ramp on I-275. She's been arrested 11 times. So she is suing DCF, the Sheriffs office and her apartment complex. Is there no personal responsibility left?

A 2 year old girl is strangled by a python. The snake was illegal first of all. But the snake had already escaped once earlier in the day. He puts it back in the same cage and wonders how the snake escaped and then bit and strangled his daughter.

Are people really this stupid? (That was a rhetorical question)

You're not going to get many replies if you answer your own questions.

It take all sorts to make the world. Perhaps we're regressing and the tow you mentioned are examples of that.

But it's the only sure way I can get an intelligent answer!

You should look up the shorthand of wizard's first rule (it's from a fantasy novel series by Terry Goodkind): People are stupid.

What we also need is more fire breathing judges who take one look at the crap that appears at their courts, throws it all out, and tounge lashes the plaintiff for wasting his/her time.

If I were world ruler, I would have zero tolerance for this kind of stupidity. Actually, I think I'll put these people on an island and film them, just to distract the public. Oh wait...

There is no intelligent answer to the stupidity of people. I guess they were looking forward to a shot on the Maury Povich show (how dumb Americans really are show)

People's personalities are as diverse as their physical appearances.
There are smart and not so smart people the world over...
Ain't no surprise...

Well the Fox audience is generally of a higher intelligence level than the Communist News Network audience. I seriously doubt these brain surgeons watched Fox.

Right, but how does one forsee who is going to become a murderer to intervene in this way?

At least America leads at least one league table, not something to be proud of though.

That's your belief. Some other people on this forum, beside you, do seem to use their brain.

A person in my area just drove their car off the edge of a quarry in an apparent suicide. There are plenty of signs all around saying no trespassing, and trust me, getting to the edge of the quarry to drive a car off is no task done by mistake.

The family is suing the company which owns the quarry. Tell me that makes sense.

I saw the story about the baby and the python. People can be so incredibly dumb.

I'm at work with my name badge on. A customer asks, "Do you work here?"

I think of a million different answers I could give them, but say yes instead.

And, "Do you have anymore of that?" I say, "Unfortunately that's all we have." They say, "Can you go in the back and look?" More evil thinking... and I say, "I'm sorry but that's is it." Then they look at you like I'm lying.
