confession.

i've discovered something. this something is not a very nice something to discover. especially since this something is about myself. and discovering not so nice somethings are even worse when they are about yourself rather than about not yourself. but maybe discovering a nice nothing about yourself is worse than discovering a not so nice something. at least i'm vaguely self-aware.

ahem. i have discovered that i am a very prejudiced person. not prejudiced against race [even though redheads are better than everyone] or prejudiced against religion [my school is 96% mormon. i know two catholics, three protestants, three atheists, one buddhist, one agnostic, and one that pretends to be jewish. i don't have much chance to be prejudiced against religion] or prejudiced against gender [okay that's a lie. everyone is prejudiced against the other gender-- it's called being biased. it happens] or prejudiced about wealth. [except for effortlessly rich people. they suck.] normally, i would consider myself a very non-discriminatory, [comparitively] liberal person. however, i fail in one area.

i can't handle stupid people. and that is a terrible thing to be prejudiced about, because there are simply so many of them.

however, i can usually forgive the uncontrollably stupid people. those individuals that just simply can not comprehend every day situations and struggle to understand simple conversations. i am not talking about people with mental illness or disabilities-- of course i don't judge them at all. i'm not satan. but i mean the people that just can not figure things out no matter how you explain it. if it's uncontrollable, fine. it must be genetic or something.

but the people who a; make absolutely NO effort to gain intelligence and are perfectly content in their idiocy, and b; were not born morons but strive to become such either by the use of drugs/alcohol/hip-hop or in an effort to get attention. for these children, i offer a plea if it is not too late to save their mentality.

you do not want the attention that comes with being idiotic. because that attention is the kind where people look at you like you just threw up on their shoes, the kind where people avert their eyes because they feel embarassed for you, the kind where people wonder what dark hole you had been living in for so long to engender such a level of ignorance as you are currently displaying for the whole world to laugh at. no one likes someone who cheats their own intelligence to be the center of attention.

phew.
