idiot

An elementary school student asked me the NOT __olitically correct_ question, __s an idiot smarter than a moron?_ I had to Google it because I was afraid to respond in today__ PC society and didn__ want to offend him, his parents, or anyone else. Here__ what I found.Technically, a moron is smarter than an idiot. An imbecile is also smarter than an idiot.Although today the words are considered insulting and derogatory, prior to the 1960s they were widely used as actual psychology terms associated with intelligence on an IQ test. An IQ between: 00-25 = Idiot 26-50 = Imbecile 51-70 = MoronExplaining all of this to a nine year old with an IQ of 130 made me feel like society has turned all adults into one of the above, myself included.When I told him that I__ afraid to openly say it, the nine year old said, __dults are idiots!

Idiots are of two kinds: those who try to be smart and those who think they are smart.

Every single person is a fool, insane, a failure, or a bad person to at least ten people.

Let me say this: being an idiot is no box of chocolates. People laugh, lose patience, treat you shabby. Now they say folks supposed to be kind to the afflicted, but let me tell you this - it ain't always that way. Even so, I got no complaints, cause I reckon I done live a pretty interesting life, so to speak.

One of the most common and most dangerous misbeliefs is that it is impossible for someone to be stupid just because they are a doctor or a lawyer.

Everyone is an idiot, not just the people with low SAT scores. The only differences among us is that we're idiots about different things at different times. No matter how smart you are, you spend much of your day being an idiot.

Beliefs are a powerful thing. I often travel the world and sometimes the local waitresses attending me are nervous if they can__ speak English. Now, when this happens, I point at the pictures in the menu. However, I__e noticed that the ones with the strongest beliefs, the most nervous ones, still do a mistake in my order. Another interesting things to notice in these situations is that, when I correct them, by pointing again at what I ordered before, they recognize their mistake, but get angry, as if their mistake was my fault, and that__ called irresponsibility. Now, when you combine irresponsibility with the wrong beliefs, you have a a very dumb person. That__ what stupidity is, it__ a human being doing the wrong things with the wrong beliefs and never ever accepting any responsibility for it. That__ how those with the lowest spiritual conscience behave in general with themselves and others.

I've had great success being a total idiot.

My boyfriend's an idiot," I say as soon as he lurches

It's not so much that the old friend is a better friend. It's just that you know the person better, and you know they don't really care if you're acting like a poor, grovelling idiot. They know you would do the same for them.
