Why do we reward stupidity?

You're going to give me my 19th nervous breakdown- you ain't too proud to beg for me to stop but I don't stop, so don't lie to me and get yourself together... and get off my cloud lest you start me up... because I'm a street fighting man and you're gonna hafta try a little harder...

 

My facial hairs keep falling out. I think I'm playing with them too much.

 

I blame childhood obesity... and the Republicans.

 

I'm a king bee, almost hear you sigh. I'm a midnight rambler hence I can't sleep, I could keep going and going right to Memphis, Tennessee. Think you'd feel like going or could you take it or leave it? Shall we go undercover of the night? Or should we stop so you can gimmie shelter? I don't know why, but I go wild. You got me rocking.

 

We're still blaming people?

I see that I have failed to get any point across. I'll just go back to whittling quietly.

 

Hmmm

 

Hmmm what?

 

just Hmmm

 

Try a little harder next time.... but there's just too much blood in here. To bed I shall be slipping away in the sleepy city 'cause I'm shattered (sha-doobie) shattered, shattered... look at me- I'm in tatters... I intend to sleep tonight. Any way you look at it we've taken this all the way down.

Good night!

 

all the way down in the hole

 

Is there something you find questionable about my post? Or was the unsubscribe thing just a way to try and end the thread?

 

the second part (I skipped most of your posts )

 

Mr. and Mrs. Gross during one of their lighter moments

McDonald's is facing a $327 million suit filed by Betty Gross who claims that her husband Gordy became obese from eating at the burger institution. “McDonald's knowingly offers super size meals without informing their customers that eating them will super size their body,” claimed Gross's lawyer and noted class action litigator, Harry Deel. “People think they are getting a bargain when in fact all they are doing is unwittingly consuming themselves to death.”

A distraught Mrs. Gross claimed that she and her husband hadn't been able to have sex in over a year. “He's just so fat it's gross. Besides, how would I ever find 'it', if you know what I mean?” With what appeared to be tear in her eye she stuttered, “I could have been happy. I could have been fulfilled. I could have had sex! Um... with my husband. But now, because of the callously rich McDonald's, all I have to look forward to is massive settlement wealth. But I'd trade it all in to have my old thin Gordy back. Really.”


Max, the Grosses Chihuahua

Mrs. Gross vowed to use any money won to fight what she sees as the biggest problem with America – fatness caused by corporate greed.


“We plan to take Burger King to court next, followed by Kentucky Fried Chicken,” Mrs. Gross stated. “KFC, mmmmm,” Mr. Gross moaned. It was the only comment he made during at the announcement.

“We even plan to sue Purina after what their Hi-Pro dog food did to our poor little Max,” continued Mrs. Gross excitedly. “And if I become fabulously wealthy, let that serve as a warning to corporate America that they can't tread on the little, er... meek people any more!”

sounds more like Gross negligence... upon himself..

 

True but at the very least they should sue the dog food company on behalf of poor max who can barely walk these days

>stupid is as stupid does- - Forrest Gump

An intelligent person who does stupid things is still stupid. You are what you do.

Another variation is "beauty is as beauty does" or "ugly is as ugly does".
I guess most people dont see the irony in rewarding stupidity, or rewarding someone for just being very good looking- (look at how many people society has made famous simply on the way they look?!!)
We look to reward people because this world feels like it needs hero,s, or needs to make up for yrs of guilt for not rewarding the right people-
Hell I dont know- just throwing out some thoughts-

I can't. I'm locked into this shitty contract for 12 more months.

also, will someone point me to the post where someone said obesity is the cause of the downfall of our society? all I remember seeing is that they can have an impact on us all as a result of their health issues..

 

No but a society of fat people are easier to control than a group of healthy adults and children each driven to succeed and not so easily duped

I think it was something about how TV is the devil, or something.

 

No,No,No, You've got all wrong.
TV isn't the devil, it's just a tool of the devil.
Rock & Roll is the devil, or more specifically Keith Richards. Didn't he die in '68 and was reanimated by the power of satan?

Sure looks like he was.
