5. Here's why I think Republicans are fucking stupid.

Please note to potential jurists that I'm not trying to offend anyone who may or may not be what I'd call fucking stupid (well actually I may be). It's just that I define stupidity a bit differently than most and 'fucking' is used to define the extreme end of that stupidity.

I understand that most people would define fucking stupidity with some metric which is easily quantifiable such as I.Q. Awww, you scored below 84. You must be fucking stupid. But lookie here, this guy scored a 145 and he's a fucking genius! (I'm channeling George Carlin). The obvious flaw with this widely held belief is that there have been plenty of people who would be considered fucking geniuses who are serial killers and there are plenty of people who would be considered fucking stupid who have contributed incalculably to society. Forrest Gump for example.

So I tend to place more emphasis on emotional 'intelligence'. What do you do rather than what you are capable of knowing. Someone who I would call fucking stupid would be lacking in emotions and deeds I would consider virtuous.
