32. Brain damage explains lots

Sep 2012

It so simple to say that...I say it myself,lots,one way or another....Stupid,crazy,idiots,lunatics,etc.....Much of the time,even as I speak the words,they sound kinda hollow...Shallow....Then I think there just HAS to be more to it...Shadings..Nuances....Degrees and levels....And I drive myself nuts trying to analyze,from every angle I can fathom,and.........Nothing........I think it is just that simple....People like this are exactly how shallow and stupid I sometimes so casually say they are....Yeah there are those,like my neighbor who actually have brain damage,but look how many million dumbasses there are....They didn't all get shocked off a power poll and suffer a coma....Yet that level,or depth of sheer stupidity is present......

Thanks everyone for all the replies...Some of the comments gave me,at least momentarily,something of a different angle from which to view this.....
