It just goes to show how many people are simple minded when they see the need to go to this extreme. And I would bet that they would be the first to crying to the cops if someone saw the need to go back and completely destroy their cars and trucks. They're probably the same type of idiots that run around with white sheets on their simple minded heads and burn crosses in yards, too.
I live in OK----the only state where every last country went red in 08'. The high probablility that some idiot will vandalize the car is precisely the reason I never ever put political bumper stickers on my car. The simplest way to avoid simple minds is to not allow them to know how you think. If they want to advertise SaRAH P. on their bumper go for it. I won't key the car, but I do laugh at them.

LOL, they are also the same ones who drive 15-20 miles over the speed limit (in work zones) and whip in and out of traffic like the rest of us are suppose to get off of the highway. Ironic correlation.

Far too many people confuse emotion with thought and damage with discussion. There are a lot of middle aged children out there and adding alcohol only makes it worse.

TnHilltoper said it very well.

Then we see many of those same people called stupid doing the same thing as companies in hunkering down and saving. Sure there are some who acted greedily or stupidly but many more who made huge amounts in the bubble.Even with unemployment at the present rate one has to remember that the vast majority are employed and doing fine.

I can't see where either of these have to do with idiots damaging private property as listed in the OP. But good attempt, I guess.

I like your point on this, I won't put a political sticker on my vehicles either. Not unless they want to pay me for advertising for them.
What if the vehicle they damaged to the point of putting it out of commission was needed to rush a child to the emergency room and the fool was identified as the perpetrate, could they be charged with "Child Endangerment"?
I would hope so!

La was the fast answer, but that plus Chigago, Selma too, any place the poor gather to be urban. I guess is subject, since librals see themselves as victims, and that the Govt should do something to save them.

I am poor in terms of cash as well, but I don't see that the govt or anyone should come save me from myself. I do have a rich quality of life, something I could never have if i were urban.

But then I don't worship movie stars, foot ball players or basket ball players. A few million bucks don't make anyone smart.

You can be poor and live by your whits and have a much better quailty to life.

Well too earn a few green back dollars as the govt needs them ALL.

How do you know your not one of the stupid ones in the first place? You got a gold star on your fore head or something?
Seriously? and it's liberals; not librals. I don't even know what a libral is, so yeah, maybe they do burn down cities??

People are stupid. That's why politicians are able to manipulate them all these years by offer their crap as solutions.

Just look at the recent event on taxing the so call rich. I just don't understand the people. What benefits do they get for taxing the rich? Yet, they will support the call. I thought we are human, which by definition are selfish. We will only do thing that benefit us. So if taxing the "rich" don't benefits us, the middle and poor, why support it. Why not do something that benefit us, like demand a tax cut for us, the middle and poor. Now, this is a clause that we should support and benefits us.

But, since people are stupid, they will not see tax cut for the middle and poor is a choice. Our supported politicians don't offer it anyway.

Default Why are people so stupid?

Because the hard truth is that in any large population, about 30% of the individuals will possess well below average intelligence.

We Americans have this crazy idea that we're all above average. We aren't.

I disagree. Add a caveat, many people, and it's probably true.

Please note that the underlined words in this post are offensive to some people. It's ironic that the post is about "stupid" people.

And in bringing up the person that had her head stepped on, it reminded me of the gentleman that the SEIU attacked at that town hall meeting and also the person that got their finger bitten off.

But, I agree with the premise that people go insane at election time and none seem smart enough to realize that politicians are in it for themselves.
There are 4 states investigating voter fraud at this time and we still have a week to go. We fight over politicians that are willing to CHEAT to get into office. It's a scary time for our country.
