Stupid on steroids: "I'm not racist. Just look at my dog. He's black." - J. Naisbitt

Xelor · May 14, 2019

There aren't many people of whom their very existence comes to my attention whereupon I can immediately credibly conclude they personify the heart-sickening blight upon society that results from decades of failed test tube experiments and unprotected intercourse among congenitally stupid jackasses.

Troglodytic bus driver, John Naisbitt, who, while driving a bus, drug a child down the street, was asked if he's a racist. His response was, "No. Look at my dog. He’s as black as could be."

Maybe he's a racist. Maybe he's not. I suppose we'll discover that in good time.

What's obvious now and what's most astounding is that he's dumber than the day is long! I'm not kidding. Frankly, I think he's too stupid for even the stupid ****s who are white supremacists to claim as one of their own.

Ihe thing I want to know and what disconcerts me isn't whether Naisbitt is racist or not. I don't particularly give a damn whether he deliberately (or not) dragged that child down the street. Those things will be settled in the courts. Naisbitt himself is irrelevant to me. No. What I find discomfiting and want to know is just how many more Americans, how many more "John Naisbitts" are there. And of however many there are, what share of them vote?

People think that merely being 18 duly qualifies one to vote. Ha! That man has been profoundly stupid for the whole of his adult life. He should never have been allowed near a voting booth.

Here in Los Angeles, there is serious talk about letting 16-year-olds vote for the local board of education.

Right, but felons serving time in prison for rape and murder should be allowed to vote according to a leading democrat candidate for president. Face it, your side doesnt give a **** who votes or how stupid they are just as long as they know enough to pull the lever for the guy with the (D) next to his name.

Oh, Lord!

Surely you're not serious? Letting people who've not even finished high school vote for board of education positions?

That's such an absurd proposition that I don't even know what to say about it.

More Americans believe in Bigfoot, UFO abductions, trickle down economics, and Elvis sightings at the local grocery store than in basic evolutionary biology or climate change science.

‘Nuff said?

Sadly, I am serious.

The Dems here in California are feeling their oats.

1. Some Dems also want a law that says that cops and firefighters MUST be believed if they say that work stress prevents them from sleeping.

2. Some Dems also want a law that will allow pedestrians to cross against a "Don't Walk" signal if the pedestrian THINKS that s/he can get across the street before the cars get the green light.

3. Some Dems are pushing a law that would in effect prohibit single family houses in cities.

4. And our governor has come up with a way to prevent the deportation of unauthorized immigrants for committing crimes: Pardon them.

Don't laugh. What starts in the (tarnished) Golden State often eventually makes it to the rest of the country.

Who claimed this to be a racist incident instead of an oaf being stupid? Did he? Did someone else? Reading the article, it seems one of the parents turned it into "look, racist".
We know too little to say for sure though.

Let me make it clear, unless it really was accidental, there's no excuse for what the bus driver did. He should be disciplined.
However, when someone turns this into another racial headline, and even milk seems to be racist these days, talking about his black dog could be sarcasm.
Now lets scan the headlines and find something other racist incident to be all upset about.

This could make for fun sport. How many points would I receive, based on damage, for hitting stupid pedestrians? Here in NYC, pedestrians routinely ignore traffic lights no matter what they say, no matter how thick the traffic.

This is aimed at new construction, not existing homes. In some cities where available land is restricted by geography, 1 family homes are extremely inefficient users of space. Especially where such limitations artificially inflate the cost of housing. As well, considering today's high costs of construction, averaging $250k per unit, finished costs can be lowered on a site, per unit, by building multifamily structures, also positioning owners to defray costs with rental income. This can also be beneficial to extended families which choose to remain together, yet marking off personal space, reducing normal family tensions. Not so terrible, provided the criteria is one of geographical space limitations and a tight expensive market.

If only college graduates were allowed to vote Democrats would always win national elections.

I have some thought re: 1:

I'm not sure why a jurisdiction'd need a law to effect that outcome. Just believe them and then order them to do any number of things:
- Tess D'Urberville
- Madame Bovary
- A paper from economics journal or some other scholarly economics non-fiction text
- A paper from a math or natural science journal or some other scholarly science non-fiction text
- Ambien -- better living through chemistry
- THC pill or other delivery mechanism -- IIRC, weed is quite effective at making one fall asleep.
