Stupid

I can't stand stupid. Stpuid is a pet peeve of mine. I think there is a difference between dumb and stupid. Dumb means you don't know better. Stupid means you know better, but you do it anyway.

Well, some people just do stupid. Drunk driving is stupid. Driving dangerously is stupid. Both can get people killed.

Lately, the stupid I've been dealing with is different. Its a lady who can't afford food for her kids, but she has a satillite, cell with texting and internet, internet to her apt. She can't afford gas, but her credit cards are caught up. That's stupid.

We've also had fallout from a simple e-mail. I work for a non-profit, and some people who are members of our organization have a softball team. One lady was spamming the organization with softball-related e-mails. The leadership asked her to stop, and she threatened to quit and was trying to get others to do so also. Over SOFTBALL! It's stupid! It makes no sense to react in such a way. Its frustratingly stupid.

I'm also recieving e-mails from a guy and today his wife that are trying to start arguments because one guy that they disagree was quote ONE TIME in a small group study. I'm ready to challenge his priorities. Is he more concerned with changing things, or with picking fights? If all he wants to do is nit pick stupid stuff, then good riddance!

Another boy accused his great-grandfather of touching him inappropriately while at his house (I believe abuse, not molestation). He said it to get out of trouble. The boy is a known liar. The great-grandfather, was in the hospital at the same time he supposedly did whatever. The mother (also a known liar) took the boy to the cops to start an investigation which revealed innocence, but now the boy is not allowed over anymore. Stupid! Oh how I hate stupid.
