Is life one stupid, pointless, nasty thing after another?

Are the French/Japanese smarter than us because they teach their kids foreign languages at a young age and we don't (well, some do)?

Why do idiots rise to the top (ala George Bush)?

What's the world's biggest problem?

Are we the dumbest race in the universe?

Go ahead and answer them! If you think you can...

Probably to try and make you look a fool :P

It's all pshchological really, I think if people actually didn't carry out the superstition they'd find it was a waste of time doing whatever they had to do in the past to satisfy that superstition, for example not walking under ladders.

Dunno really I'm with Wanadoo :P

Questions from me:

1. Why are the worst songs always the most catchy ones you find yourself singing as you walk down the road?

2. Why do people still believe in superstitions?

3. Why can't BT get their broadband system sorted out?

4. Why do companies outsource to India to save money, but still keep their most expensive offices for a few top ranking members of the company?

No, several stupid, pointless and nasty things can happen to you simultaneously

Are the French/Japanese smarter than us because they teach their kids foreign languages at a young age and we don't (well, some do)?
Well, they're supposed to be able to speak a foreign language, they are from a foreighn country

Why do idiots rise to the top (ala George Bush)?
They're hand picked by the top to make them look good - why would they pick clever people when all they'll do is make the people who picked them look stupid.

What's the world's biggest problem?
Overpopulation. I could name names, but I'm not that kinda guy. Can easily be solved by giving everybody a number from a hat or on a computer. Then every number 3 goes. What you do with them is up to somebody else, I solved the problem, I don't want to work out the details...

Are we the dumbest race in the universe?
I think the odds are in our favour that there is life in some other solar system that is dumber than us (it'd be a close call, I would imagine) - a race that goes round praying to God on Sundays, whilst killing each other Monday to Friday (well, even saturday if they didn't do it right in the week). They'll pray thanks to the Lord for giving them this great thing called life and the brain to realise that we owe it all to him.
We'll now sit quietly for a few moments before we have to go over there and kill all those other people who must have gotten their brains from somebody else.

Depends on how you look at life really everyone is living a life but some enjoy it much more than others due to a positive outlook on life.

I don't think so being smart isn't just about excelling at education it's about learning about life and getting common sense.

> Why do idiots rise to the top (ala George Bush)?

Hard to say really!

> What's the world's biggest problem?

War

> Are we the dumbest race in the universe?

I'm sure there are others stupider :D

Sometimes, yeah.

In that way I reckon they are yeah.

I wish I knew, I really do.

Lack of communication. And Pokemon.

Only if you start in a negative mind-state.

Only in learning languages, And in quisine, and probably in other things. So, yes.

> Why do idiots rise to the top (ala George Bush)?

Because it's not what you know, it's who you know...

> What's the world's biggest problem?

See above.

> Are we the dumbest race in the universe?

No, just the most arrogant. Thinking we can abuse the planet and the creatures in it without consequence.
