    Text - [-] VivaZeBull 2013 points 7 hours ago I work with the general public so feel sorry for me please. Seriously though, a few things make me assume lower intelligence maybe not so much uneducated: - Having unfixed pets and refusing to get them fixed because of the cost but allow the animals to repeatedly get impregnated and then have to feed 10x more animals. Assuming that because someone has a child of mixed race it allows that person to say/do racist things. - Asking a question and talking

    Text - [] DukeInterior 790 points 6 hours ago I've no problem with people who don't read books (though you definitely should), but anyone who mocks, degrades or otherwise diminishes the idea of reading books is without question a cretin, of the highest order. Denser than a loaf of bread filled with chewing gum.

    Text - [ Mspitna 1292 points 3 hours ago You read my mind. I worked in a maximum security prison for 7 years as a Correction Officer. When guys would argue with me and start puffing up and getting loud, I would calmly state (albeit loud enough for other inmates to hear) that a person usually starts getting louder in a disagreement because their position is weak or they aren't very intelligent Can't believe no one ever decked me for this

    Text - ] DagarMan0 1249 points 6 hours ago I honestly believe not everyone is entitled to an opinion. I refrain from even forming opinions of stuff I don't have enough information about to talk about, but I see people talk about shit they don't know even the basics about so often it gets annoying. If you don't know what you are talking about, you don't have an opinion, you have a prejudice. The only way to have an opinion is when you can argue for/against it

"Oh that food is bad for dogs and can cause renal failure? Well I feed it to my dogs all the time and they're still fine." Cue their dog dying of renal failure in a year or two at half the age it should have lived. But oh it wasn't caused by feeding them something bad for them, couldn't be, they'd been eating it for years! So now their new dog g

    Text - - Portarossa 1018 points 7 hours ago 'Why should my taxes pay for education when I don't have any kids in school?' Because otherwise you'll live in a world full of people just as ignorant and uninformed about the world as you are, and every single one of them has the right to vote. Education is important for a whole bunch of reasons, but especially if you want an informed electorate and not people who'll vote based on what they see written in a scary font on a billboard

The local library there had a reading competition to see who could read the most books, and I won. For those of you familiar with all of the short stories I post here on Reddit, it should come as no surprise that I was a bookworm. My uncle became enraged by this because I beat my two cousins. And he proceeded to subject me, a
