The Theory of Stupidity

[AgentJGV]

Why are people on the interent stupid? I have a theory that is backed up by a great genious in our era. His name is Bill Cosby. My theory is that most posters on forums are immature and they act like children. That in itself is not a problem, but as most of us know, all children have brain damage.

I will give you an example on brain damage that occurs. Lets say a mod logs onto a forum and the first thing he sees is a thread that contributes little and just causes flaming. The mod closes the thread and tells the user why it was closed.

The next day the mod logs on again to see THE EXACT SAME Thread! Once again he locks iit and gives a more forceful explenation. He doesn't even log off this time and see the thread created AGAIN! This time he locks the Thread and PMs the guy saying "Why do you keep posting the same thread! I've told to stop but you insist on continuing to post! Wh are you doing this!!!!"

and the poster replys with "I dont know" WELL THATS BRAIN DAMAGE!!
end rant

in all serousness though people need to think before they post. It would save a lot of time and frusteration if every did that.

(Props to Bill Cosby for is "Brain Damage" skit. if you havent seen it look it up. Hilarious)

It's not just Smashboards; have you SEEN the GameFAQs Brawl boards?

Hell, have you SEEN GAMEFAQS ITSELF?!

I've somewhat experienced this before.
Only it was the CBox for the site, not the forum. And they just kept spamming.
And they never even answered when I asked why they do it.
One of them said "I didn't know you weren't allowed to spam" or some bullcrap like that.

Probably because nobody can stop them from acting as stupid as they want to be.

As long as there's knowledge, there is stupidity. It's a delicate balance that everybody wants eliminated.

But if that balance is eliminated, will we still have intellegence? Or will it rid of that?

On second thought, if we don't have intelligence or stupidity, what would we have?

Idk. Poeple don't need to become smart. All they need to do is use common sense. It seems like some poeple try to be stupid on purpose and that is just annoying.
