One Word Can Make You an Idiot

So I was watching some Youtube this morning and ran across a rather humorous video about a bunch of reporters hanging around discussing how they wouldn't run a story about John McCain calling his wife a cunt. (Link is down below at the end) Now, I know what you're all thinking...."Haha Sean, yes cunt is a word that will make you sound like an idiot and John McCain is certainly that. Hooray for another political post!" But no my dear ladies and gents, thats not the one word I am talking about.

I was giggling to myself about the skit when I saw a post somebody posted in the comments, it reads as follows:

"This is bs, fabricated by a bunch of fucking retarded liberals and niggers."

See how bigotry makes you sound like a douche nozzle? If he had done a little creative editing; if for the fun of it, he had removed the word "niggers" then perhaps his opinion wouldn't be dismissed so quickly to the annals of idiocy. This is, of course, pure speculation so lets try it out.

"This is bs, fabricated by a bunch of fucking retarded liberals."

This sounds slightly less like it was written by Jim Bob of the Hill Folk, and more like it was written by every other blind follower of one particular ideal or another. But, at least the revised statement took you a few seconds to come to the conclusion that the author is full of pig shit.

The lesson? As I stated before, everybody is opinionated and prejudiced about everything to some degree; its just how most people's thought processes are carried out. The goal is to allow each person or situation a chance to change your preconceived notions. That is the difference between normalcy and idiocy.

Fighting the fight against the dumb asses,
