If stupidity were made illegal, we'd all be in prison. Everyone is entitled to be stupid. The trick is, not to be stupid more than five minutes in any twenty-four hour period.

Maybe the secret is to be less stupid than those around you.
Then you come off looking like a genius.

Of course, if you spend your time surrounding yourself with stupider people, then you become government.

If stupidy (Stupidity) was outlawed, it would wipe out topix.

Nancy Grace:
If stupiDITY was outlawed, you'd be locked in your house all day hiding. Clearly, you have the syndrome you claim should be outlawed.

[BMo2_E-L]

DITY was capitalized on purpose, by the way.

[Kosam]

Why not band or outlaw brains altogether? that way both the smart and the stupid can get along.

No, you want to be stupid go ahead.

Just don't expect people to feel any sympathy for you if you wind up hurting yourself unless you're mentally disabled and can't help it.

While criminalizing it does sound tempting, I think that an even better idea would be to just make it painful. The more stupid the comment or act the more it should hurt. It could range from like a static electricity shock for mildly annoying comments to fully charged taser for like the idiots that rob banks and write their stick up note on the back of their personal check or call the cops to tell them someone stole their stash...

If Stupidity were outlawed, I would have no co-workers and I don't want to do ALL the work by myself.

no,no,no.. wait,call the cops to claim the stash that was found...that was a good one

Yes, stupidity should be against the law.

Harmless acts of stupidity, like jay-walking, should be treated as a misdemeanor, maybe a $200 fine, max.

Gross stupidity should be punishable by deportation to country of origin, assuming, of course, country of origin could still be determined.

Needless to say, stupidity cases would be decided by a judge; trial by a jury of peers would be ... well, stupid.

If stupidity was a crime, jails would be full of liberal eggheads who voted for Obama.
