More Morons

Why is it that some people are so thick? I don’t mean people with specific learning disabilities – or whatever you choose to call them. I don’t mean dyslexics who can’t spell, or people who just don’t “get” statistics, or even people who, for whatever reason, aren’t wired to learn as well as some do. I don’t even mean people who have the odd “moment” – even frequent “moment”s are forgivable, if they’re somehow distinguishable from the rest of one’s existence. I don’t even mind the occasional dose of laziness.

I mean people with total, complete, clue-blackout. People who should be capable of learning, but just won’t? Normal, adult human-beings, who are probably of reasonable mental capacity, but are just as thick as two short planks. Why? Can someone please tell me?

Learning facts & figures is hard for some people. Fine. Grasping abstract concepts is hard for others. Also fine. Specific skills, from teaching, to explaining, to repeating from memory, are hard for various people. But for the love of the divine – how hard is it to keep your mouth shut? Or use Google? Or ASK SOMEONE WHO CARES – ideally just one person, not a whole group of people who are already talking about something different, and really don’t give a toss.

And, while we’re on it – OH MY GOD, THE APOSTROPHE… It’s not a complicated piece of equipment. School-children can cope with it. Hell, even low-grade idiots can work out how to avoid it. So why is it that some people just can’t resist it!? LEAVE IT ALONE! STOP ABUSING IT! PLEASE!

Thank you.
