[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Percentage of truly stupid and lazy people in America?

Posted: 3/22/2006 12:51:27 PM EDT

Down in the "lower priced" section of town today for work and even tho I know how stupid and lazy some people are, I am amazed even more every day I have to deal with the public. Even when I can go someplace where they called in an inside gas leak, I arrive to find some fat dipstick sitting in a chair smoking a cig, and too damn lazy to even pry their lardass out of the chair long enough to show me where they smelled it. Newsflash idiot, all I HAVE to do is verify a leak and I can shut you down until you get it repaired. I don't even have to find it for you, you can pay someone else to either find it or pressure check your lines. In the meantime you're going to get very cold.

So, whats the percentage? 1 percent, 5 percent, 10? Or more. Or is it just everyone who disagrees with you?

I don't think your poll goes high enough.
Lately, I'm getting the impression that stupid people are about 75-80% of the population.

I gotta agree with that. Maybe slightly higher actually, and climbing.

There are many ways in which a person could be considered lazy and stupid, so I'm going to say probably 50%.

The rise of the Oiks.

Yeah, maybe more like 30-40% range.
And climbing, is right. When I was younger I would have put that number at 10%. Thanks to encouraging all this least common denominator crap through"tolerance" and "entitlements" it continues to rise. Going to be close to 50% in another generation. When it reaches that the Socialists will finally be able to declare victory.

I'll go with 75%. Higher on weekends and after dark. If alcohol or tail is involved it approaches infinity.

I would say only 5-10% based on my exposure to people from different parts of the country and walks of life.

Strange, though, because almost 50% usually vote Dem in POTUS elections.

I concur 100%.. couldn't have said it better.

I would say that about half the people in the U.S. are sheep.

Another 25% are apathetic to the point of being self-destructive.

The other 1 in 4 work their ass off and almost succeed in making the rest of the world look like the sheet wearing savages that they are.

[drjarhead]Every damned one of ~~them~~ you. [/drjarhead]

Where do y'all live that EVERYONE you meet sucks?

I live in a great town with great people and maybe some of the people suck but I don't have to deal with them.

Most people are good and work hard, and are productive.

ETA.....I'm the one who voted 1 to 4

I don't think it has to do with the fact that there are so many of them. They are just really loud and vocal about what they are entitled to, (or how things should be a certain way due to how they feel about an issue instead of the facts), or they are busy doing something really, really stupid.

I vote for about 80% total population.

You know how stupid the average person is? Well, by definition half of them are dumber than that.

Truth is a person with an average, or even slightly below average IQ is fairly bright… Assuming they bother to use the brains God gave them. But still 25%+ is just too dimwitted to ever amount to much mentally, no matter how hard they try.

Then there are a whole lot of people who don’t try. They are too busy watching reality TV, getting high, getting drunk, or just being a pure dumbass to ever develop mentally.

And you have plenty of bright people who suffer from “Bullshit in, Bullshit out” syndrome. They may be fairly bright but their mind isn’t working right because of all the crap they’ve put into it. Most Liberals fall into this group.

To top it all off, no one cruises around all day at full mental power all the time. We get tired and we get distracted. So, even other wise bright people often are walking around using less mental power than a typical ape.

I'd say 50%

If you count the illegals, then it would be around 60%.

i chose 11-20% because it was the highest percentage available to vote on. however, i believe that it's closer to 40-50% of the American population.

95% of my customers are fat, lazy pigs. a lot of my coworkers are the same. it's unbelievable the things people refuse to do out of sheer laziness. i'm truely afraid of where this country s headed...

I think part of the problme has been the cross section I see. 60% on medical assistance. 40% with psych problems. 5-10% just trying to get drugs. In my local community if you go out in public it can get pretty interesting. And we know plenty of nice people but they do what we do, they keep to themsleves because of all the trailer trash types. They just don't want to be around them either and many of these people are out in public a lot becuase they sure as hell aren't working. On top of that, all of this tolerance crap means many people believe they have to just deal with this least common denominator human trash. We'd be way better off if all the decent people held their ground and actually expected this bunch to raise their level of decency somewhat.

One thing I have noticed about the Welfare bunch and that is that in addition to being ingnorant, stupid and lazy, they are some of the rudest fuckers I have ever dealt with. No wonder they can't get a job. Who would hire someone who has the social skills of a 3 year old?

Wait, what am I saying?

There sure are a lot of people on some kind of gov't assistance these days and I consider that as having been a huge negative for our society. Entitlements have to go.
