Idiots and why I don't like them

If there is one thing that Jaejae and I agree on, it is that the idiots in our world make our lives depressingly unbearable. Perhaps idiocy is a subjective thing, but I will make the argument that it is not. You are either a capable and intelligent human being with common sense and meaningful things to say and do throughout your life, or you're a lumbering jackass that goes through life not knowing what common sense even means or that it is something that could conceivably apply to you or that tiny little excuse of a brain you possess.

I'm taking a class currently on the psychology of diversity. "But Gandy" you may say "doesn't that mean that you should try and be more accepting of the diversity of the human race rather than degrade and insult them by calling them idiots?" Well my answer to that absurd question is a resounding no. I do not believe that stupid is a legitimate category of diversity, and I do not believe that stupid people deserve patience, understanding, and sympathy. An intelligent person would say "I don't understand what this means, can you please elaborate so that I may learn", an idiot says "well I read somewhere... I don't know where.... that blah blah blah blah... and going to a good Catholic school will undoubtedly shield you from prejudice and bigotry.... and skinheads and the Caribbean Club are two similar groups... just like comparing apples and oranges, they're still fruit.... and I know we're talking about raising awareness about diversity, but let's talk about planes for a minute" Are you serious?

This woman in my class makes me hate my life for the 2 hours and 40 minutes that I sit there every Wednesday. The things she has to say or "contribute" if you will are so asinine, that it makes you wonder what she's doing in a class about diversity in the first place. Being racially diverse does NOT make you free of racism and bias, so stop pretending that you're Mother Theresa. You can't even compare. The things that you have to say during class are offensive and obscene, not only to myself, but to everyone surrounding me. And let me take a second to point out that I am not a person who is easily offended. It takes a lot to upset me, but this woman pushes all the buttons. As Jae mentioned earlier, I'm level-headed and diplomatic - but this woman just knows no boundaries.

I can't even continue to talk about her because the idea of her incenses me. UGH! SHUT UP!

And before I forget....

Dearest Jae-Jae:

I'm sorry I did not email you today while I was at work. I got caught up sending in requests for my transcripts for my grad school applications and looking up literature on the Amish. Yes I said the Amish. Don't look at me like that. Did you know that because I'm staff, I get to keep the books I took out until May? That's freaking awesome.

I'm doing a group project on a diverse group of people, and we chose the Amish. They can get crazy when they turn 16 you know, you should look up the term rumspringa, its hot stuff. Who knew that the Amish
threw the greatest parties? I certainly did not.

Anyway, that's why I didn't get to enjoy my daily banter with you today while I was at work. It made me sad. I feel my day is not complete, so I'm going to find alternative ways to fill the void in my soul.

Watch out.

Most Sincerely,
Gandora
