Is stupidity a mental illness? 2014-04-17 17:49:16


Or is it so common that it couldn't possibly be? (Just like homosexuality.)

Like, it's okay for people to hate the stupid, yet it's not okay to hate the mentally challenged, or in some cases the mentally ill.

Is it fair to discriminate among different kinds of mental problems?

Will stupid ever be treated as a medical condition?

Homosexuality IS a mental illness.


Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.

You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.

You sure you're not getting stupidity confused with ignorance?

"Ignorance can be fixed, but stupid is forever."

By stupidity, do you mean ignorance brought on by lack of education? If so, I would say probably not.

It's a social illness (Just like homosexuality)

There is stupidity in everybody, and some people show it by drinking and partying, or for attention.

Mentally challenged people have no option of not being stupid, it's a brain malfunction. This isn't the same with stupid people. People have no incentive to change their pathetic ways, so they remain docile.

Partying in and of itself isn't stupid. It's just how you do it. It's like saying someone is a terrible driver so driving must be stupid. Obnoxious party fratboys are obnoxious, but that doesn't really mean it's stupid to go to a college party. Unless you got a test in the morning you need to wake up for then yeah that's pretty stupid.
