 It's your party. If you choose not
to like someone because you
perceive them to be stupid, you
have that right. |

Yeah sure i don't like you and i
don't even know you..:)
later...just kidding...a lot of
people don't like me but i don't
really care one way or the
other...they don't pay my bills or
feed me(the plant from the little
shop of horrors) or put clothes on
my back so it really does not have
any effect on my life...sort of
like saying in a hundred years who
will know or care anyway on this
planet what was thought or said by
someone else i don't even know...in
other words the person not liking
me can only effect my life if i
give them the power to effect my
life and that is not likely to
happen anytime soon..later |

I think that it's their fault that
they are stupid... They were too
ignorant in school to actually
learn; or too lazy. I think it's
fine, if you don't like the person,
then you don't like the person.
That's your own call. |

Do not worry I still like you!

I agree, there are some cute guys
at my school but I hate them
because they are just so stupid! |

Dear!either you like someone
because of their character or
appearance. Well character is more
reliable because if a person is
beautiful from the inner side he or
she have supremacy over the one who
is beautiful from the outer
side.Its the inner side that counts
the most.So whenever you like
someone like them because of their
character and personality.If
someone is stupid or dumb he or she
would never understand you and you
will get tired of him or her.That
person become ignorant for you and
irritating too.You start disliking
that person and you love starts to
decline.So at first you should try
to like someone who you think is
your perfect match.And even someone
a little dumb is happy with you or
you are with him or her and you are
understanding eachother so that's
not a problem.Do as your heart say
but sometimes it is better to
listen to your brain too!:) |

I wouldn't want to be casual
friends with someone who couldn't
carry on a decent conversation. I
certainly wouldn't want an idiot to
father my kids! |
23 Aug 2008 08:38
|
|
I'd only dislike that person
because I don't share common
interest, and some stupid, ignorant
people are just plain annoying, and
not worth stealing my energy |

YOU have the choice as to what kind
of people to allow into your life.
It simply comes to down to what
sort of person you want to be
around. There is no obligation to
"like" anyone. |

In life , choose your friends
wisely. Surround yourself with
stupid people, and you, despite
your intelligence, will be deemed
stupid. If you can be in a position
to be of help to someone, then you
should. It doesn't mean you have to
like them. |
19 Aug 2008 10:23

|
I do agree |

I think its more than okay not to
like someone because they are
stupid because you cant have the
same standards of conversation with
them they wont get your jokes etc.
But i have found that what people
are not academically smart in they
make up for it in other skills and
there are people who may not be as
smart in something that you know a
lot about but i bet that they know
more about something else than you
do...believe me I've experienced
it. But yeah I've not like people
because they're not smart or i
think there's a personality clash
because of intellect |

Its okay not to like nsomeone
because you think their stupid or
ignorant but you still shouldn't
treat them with disrespect. |

I have disliked people for a lot
less than being stupid. Of course
we are not all expected to like
every person that we share this
earth with. We just need to worry
about getting along with one
another in it. |
17 Aug 2008 04:53
|
|
Its okay not to 'like" someone
because they are stupid. However,
as another commenter stated. That
does not give one a right to
disrespect that person. |
17 Aug 2008 02:13
|
|
Morally, it isn't, because you
can't judge people solely on
stupidity, but in reality stupidity
is more often than not coupled with
other traits so it's okay to not
like them, just at least respect
them as another person. |
16 Aug 2008 21:36

No one can force you to like
someone. |

I know a lot of people don't like
me because they think I'm stupid!
That's cool with me because I don't
like to be around people that think
they know it all! It's a two way
street and it's OK not to like me.
A lot of people don't and the line
is long so, if they don't mind the
wait get in line! The one's that do
like me are few and far between so
it gets them right to the front of
the line! I;m not really a crowd
person anyway! Lol |

 In a way, I suppose your premise is
understandable. If you so choose to
possess hatred against the mentally
impotent, you have that right.
"Hate" is a bit too powerful
however. I have disliked one for
their incompetence but to hold
malevolence because of it is just
audacious. With the aid of a little
cerebration, I disagree with your
standpoint. |

I run into the same problem in
paradox all the time, for I'm Super
smart in some areas!
So people hate me!
But dose not that mean (By your
rules) I should hate YOU?
For if someone compared you to me,
what would they think of YOU?
NEOPHYTE!
If you can't find it in your
Dictionary, it's in the Bible!

Define stupid. I don't think any
such thing exists. |

Stupid is nothing, it's just us who
are making them stupid. And we are
not God, so you can't judge anyone. |

Growing up, are we not taught to
treat others as our equals? No
matter what their circumstances
are? Just because someone is of
lesser intelligence, doesn't mean
that you have to dislike them.
Especially if they have a talent
that you don't hold. It would be a
complete turn around on you. |
19 Aug 2008 03:21
|
|
No that would be mean you should
not judge people just because they
are dumb |
22 Aug 2008 21:44
|
|
I try not to pass judgment on
others for any reason... I
understand what you mean ignorance
can be very annoying, but could
never make me hate someone. Besides
when you point fingers at others
you only find they are pointing
right back at you. |

I'm against mistreatment of
anyone,if someones intelligence
level is not equal to yours that is
no reason to hate,or mistreat
anyone,what about those other
qualities that is pocessed.? |
24 Aug 2008 01:05
|
|
Its just simply arrogant and
elitist to dislike someone because
they are "stupid".Who is to say
what is stupid and what is not? |
23 Aug 2008 02:55
|
|
It's not Okay!
Maybe we will be annoyed & we won't
like their stupidity, but we should
try to accept them & DON'T feel
okay about disliking them. They
might have other good qualities
that we should focus on other than
them being stupid. |
22 Aug 2008 15:24

It all depends on how you classify
stupid...Sometimes you perceiving
someone as stupid shows that you
have a closed mind to their
opinions or lifestyle...How stupid
is that?? On the other hand, stupid
may mean having a low level of
intelligence...someone who is
developmentally disabled...Many are
sweet children in adult
clothing...So, once again, how
stupid of you not to be tolerant
and not to like them because of
their being "stupid?" So, if
someone doesn't get your point of
view or can't understand then it's
okay not to want to be social
friends...but to make that the
reason not to like them?...I don't
think so... |

Gotta tell you. For being a young
male, with such a high regard for
yourself, you'd think you'd be
smart enough to ask questions that
would shed a favorable light on
you. There are many more
intelligent people on this site
than you. Do you think that's a
reason to dislike you? |
21 Aug 2008 04:35

There are many levels of
intelligence. There is book
smart.. Street smart.. Common
sense.. And idiot savants.. People
have much more to offer than just
their IQ. Look at sitcoms.. There
is almost always that one sort of
goofball friend who is not so
bright.. But the show would be at a
loss without them... Remove Joey
from friends.. Or Chrissy from 3's
company.. OA any character Ashton
butcher ever played.. .. Not so
great w/out em is it? |

In some instances people cannot
help being at a lower intelligence
than the normal person. I hate to
even use the word stupid,,the
classifications of being stupid and
ignorant TO ME are two different
things ( to me ,ignorance is the
fault that you never received the
opportunity to learn
something,versus stupidity is your
unwise choices you make).Some
people just don't catch on or learn
as fast as others.This however
doesn't mean that they don't have
feelings and they should have the
same opportunities to be
liked/judged for other reasons such
as,there heart or moral
understandings..i don't think they
should be judged for lack of
intelligence or for the misfortunes
of their ignorance. |

Well, just because somebody doesn't
know something doesn't mean there
is something wrong with them. |

I don't think it is rational to
judge people by their degree of
intelligence.you may posses less
thinking capacity than the man who
invented the rocket.But will it
seem fair on his part to avoid you
just because you don't know how to
design a rocket or something
else.
You have to judge people by their
character.but basically we got to
remember that no one is
stupid.Everyone is special at
something,it could just be hidden. |
19 Aug 2008 10:44

Maybe they didn't get the proper
education to be as smart as you.
They can still be very nice. |

There are plenty of stupid people
around who are perfectly pleasant,
likeable people, and plenty of
intelligent people who are utterly
obnoxious. If you think about the
person you are considering as
'stupid', and try to think what
exactly is it about their stupidity
which is really annoying you, it is
probably not just 'stupidity' but a
more specific thing which you find
unlikeable. I know a lot of people
who are very stupid, because they
have brain injuries, but some of
them are very likeable people, and
some of them are not - just like
any other level of intelligence. |

Disliking someone simply because
they are dumb? I think that is
probably immoral. Further, where
do we draw the line? If I belong
to Mensa's, then are all people who
are unqualified to join unworthy of
being liked? Stupidity Stupidity
as compared to whom? The label
"stupid" is relative... Compared to
one person they may be stupid,
while compared to another they
could be a genius. Should I dislike
the human race in general since I
consider the vast majority of the
species to be rather stupid?
This is not to say that one should
not use discernment, and make
judgements based upon a persons
intellect. There are people who I
think are pretty stupid, but I do
not dislike them for it. But I do
think it is wise to take their
intellect into account when you are
listening to their opinions.
Kindness and compassion are moral
traits... Intelligence is not. |

Only on stupidity?...what about the
rest of the person? |
