Attn: Scrabblers (well... most of you)
Please start breeding. I just found out the dumbest person I’ve ever known is pregnant. I don’t want my children to grow up in an Idiocracy future. Start having kids, please.

I honestly think the plot in Idiocracy could happen. Do you think, before then, there should be a civil war between smart and dumb people?

and, along these lines, people who are extremely slow learners (to the point that i suspect they’ll never “get” what is being taught) and people who aren’t curious about anything.. bane of my life. i don’t want to be a jerk, and i’m not saying they’re not happy with how their lives are, but REALLY? YOU NEVER WONDERED ABOUT.. STUFF?! aggravating.

I could see a rounding-up-of-the-intellectual-elite naziism sort of thing happening, yes. Hell, have you seen foxnews lately?

People who have zero intellectual curiosity are my least favorite people on earth. I hate them worse that murderers and rapists.

Haha. Hyperbole! You only feel this way because your unending curiosity and general need to be informed has caused you to grow up to be a miserable, society-hating, grump of a man. I somewhat envy the idiots who cartwheel their way through life without a worry to weigh down their feeble little minds.
we all need to have kids so that in 25 years, when they get around to realizing how awesome we are, they post pictures of us and talk about it on Scrabbled2.0.
It’s something I’ve thought about and it’s a very weird concept. Except, to loosely quote Bill and myself from a quote in the quotes db, there won’t be web pages anymore. I’ll be a brainpage designer and my php/rails will crash and you’ll shit yourself.
The death of the first Scrabbled with be a sad one. It will slowly, over time, become a ghost town as the site refuses to keep us logged in and our Alzheimer’s stricken brains fumble at remembering our passwords. But little Richard-Dawkins Hutchinson will come through and build a new Scrabbled for the next generation.
And since I don’t plan on having kids, I’ll annually ingest gallons and gallons of slimy stem cells and pose as my own child on said future Scrabbled holo-page.
sorry hutch, Dawn and i aren’t planning on having kids, the idiots can inherit the earth for all i care….cause they’re the overwhelming majority now.
Then adopt or something!
we just saw this movie. it was horrible. actually, the first 10 minutes were pretty good, then the story itself started. it was a decent commentary on the state of civilization, but still boring and unfunny.
Yeah, I haven’t heard of a single person who actually liked it. It has a few moments (“Fuck you, I’m eating”), but mostly terrible.
I liked it, but I think it’s alarmist.
I liked it, despite the stupidity.
