Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I just saw this video of a Mexican (I guess) guy who makes videos of him traveling, showing what he sees. He's been in England, Seoul, Africa, and many more places, but something I actually have to admire is that he lives based on traveling. He always says: "Material belongings are things that you won't carry until you die. Instead, it's better to pay for experiences rather than material things, because they're something wonderful, that you can share without losing it, and you can carry it to your tomb".

What do you think? Should we pay for experiences rather than material things?

Its simple, dont answer the door next time lol,

You invited them when you did that

I said I thought it was my father...

Like a week ago I accidentally opened the door to a Jehovah witness (thought it was my father waiting at the door) and handed me a pamphlet which basically said "God is great". I mean, the headline was "God's word is the truth" (very straight forward, if you ask me), but in general it meant "God is the shit, come and join us admire him".

I don't really think they should be like that. I mean, I don't care about listening other theological ideas, but I don't really like being bothered in my own house to hear them, when no one has been invited.

So I saw this thread and thought of something: Why should we respect people just for being dead? I mean, If you are an asshole in life, when you die you are just a dead asshole.

Let's say a firefighter dies in a fire while trying to put it out. He will have my respect, but not for dying, but because of doing something heroic (I consider that trying to put out a fire to save people's lives is more respectable than, for example, fighting a war).

Just wanted to know what the NG community thinks of respecting dead people just for being dead.

You were pretty vague in your description then. What qualifies someone as being stupid then. I am a shitty student I think that makes me pretty stupid.

As someone else said before (don't remember who): Being stupid is lacking intelligence, common sense. I can't tell if you're stupid or not because I don't know you, but you should see yourself as a thinking person, not as a student. You may be the shittiest student ever, but you can also, at the same time, be the next Einstein.

I hope to live even longer than that...

You state your opinion as fact, people who have a certain like of an artist that you don't like are not stupid people.

You misunderstood me. I said what I said to avoid people commenting shit like "yeah, people who listen to ______ are sure stupid". I support what you say, and I know that people who have a certain like of an artist that I don't like are not stupid people.

Contrast relations and nuances between them make up the world, buddy. (Haven't I already said this? Grrr!)

Actually, if stupid people didn't exist, the dumbest person on Earth would be someone who, now, would be considered intelligent. That way, we would all continue being geniuses progressively until finding the ultimate truth of the universe and die.

They're everywhere man. It's like a virus.

Actually, I thought there would be way more stupid people responding to this thread. Maybe they're still everywhere, but they emigrated to another site.

I never said that I hate people who I disagree with, I hate people who are plainly stupid.

...stupid people? Well, I do. They're a waste of everything; space, food, fresh water, and the list goes on. I'm not calling myself a genius (like some NG user I know...) but I'm smart. That's it. I'm just not stupid.

I think that all these should just die and be buried directly in the land (no coffin), so that way they don't use extra space in the earth that humanity may need in the future. Also, when they discompose they'll be the land where other people/animals may live in. I don't know, just get a big-ass terrain in the countryside and bury them there.

What do you think? Do you agree o disagree?

P.S. I'm not just talking about "stupid people" referring to the ones who listen to Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and shit... Those are stereotypes, and stereotypes are bad. What I'm talking about is legitimately stupid people, guys/girls who are just jerks and refuse to accept common sense in their brains.

If you have hiccups, take 7 drinks of a random liquid (preference: water) and it will go away!

Here (Chile) we also have wine-in-a-box, and they say it's like the shittiest wine ever. Don't know if it's the same with the milk.

Here in Chile it's 14 I guess, and as we are pretty well educated in the subject (I'm just a freshman) we can avoid things like STD's or teen pregnancy. All it's needed is good education and available preventive systems.
Also, this:

If the older one is older than 18, but below 21, and the younger one is older than 16 - not statutory
If the older one is older than 18, but below 21, and the younger one is below 16 - statutory
If the older one is older than 21 and the younger one is older than 18 - not statutory
If the older one is older than 21 and the younger is older than 16, but below 18 - statutory

Where do you get them? I've seen a ton of those here in NG, and I can't accept the thought that every single user is a talented artist but me.

Reading the responses, and thinking as the freshman I also am, this is what I think you should do.

No, they're not. Some time ago I talked with my brother about how a plague would be a good idea for cleaning up the environment from people who just live to waste space and oxygen.

Dude, can you imagine introducing him to the internet? To a gamer PC running Crysis 3 in the highest definition possible? Imagine introducing him to this little devices we have in our pockets that allow us to have all the world's information? Also, trying to explain that even having all that info, there is still stupid people on the streets.

Man, I would've loved to see that. Even more than the fact that The Harlem Globetrotters lost, all the kids that had to be crying in that moment. Ah, I'm such a nice person.
