    the dumb who won't listen or keep their minds closed to the possibilities, what i usually do is just stare at them creepily, smile like the Cheshire cat, twitch my eye and say: "you have no idea what Hell is like for a mortal like you", that always shuts them up or makes them go away >:3 . what do you usually do when someone is being dumb or stupidly ignorant? (religiously, racially, politically, in school, economically, etc.)

    And just for the laughs :3 from my youtube goddess (and the reason i made this thread) dailygrace!

    Well, sometimes I just ask a question and answer it for them. Like "Do you have any idea what you're talking about? No, no I don't think you do. Ok then..."

    Other times a good 'ole facepalm gets the point across well enough.

    I normally start confusing them, I ask them tough riddles, speak vaguely and ominously.

    Look slightly above their head to make them think their hair is sticking up...
    Twist their own words around and mess with their knowledge...

    I sort of torment them until they go away or I am bored, makes me kind of evil bastard but it's how I get rid of them :slight_smile:

    I can't change anybody. People don't change just because I say something clever. I just want to know more about why they think so even if it's stupid. I am interested about the reasons why they think so and why they are like they are. I don't pretend I agree but I just keep asking questions.

    I just ignore them, they're just a waste of time. Find somebody intelligent to talk to.

    So am I going to be the only one who would dance around or just try to make a joke? Though there are times I cannot control my anger and kinda snap.

    If it's Kris Humphries Dumb, there would be jokes being made about them as I type this.

    If it's average Dumb, I just try to go to a different topic with someone else, without being rude.

    I ignore them, as they are not worth my time. I'm better off trying to teach advanced algebraic equations to my dog.

    well it is true you can ignore them, but why not have fun with their ugly little minds for a while like a cat playing with its prey before eating it >:3?

    I will attempt to test if they are indeed dumb or just misguided. If misguided I may attempt to use logic. If dumb I just smile and walk away.

    I answer their stupid questions factually and pleasantly. The only cure for ignorance is education.

    Stupid questions are the first step to respectable knowledge. If people don't know crap but are genuinely curious, I'd relish the opportunity to teach. But if they pooh-pooh the subject matter as something they don't know and don't care about, I'll let them wallow in their dim world. Ignorance can be cured with education, but you can't fix stupid.

    It depends. If they're willingly close minded, I give up on them. If they're just ignorant, I'll be friendly and correct them when they're wrong. It seems patronising, but it's far better to teach someone than leave them and others to their ignorance.

    I do my best to avoid them, because they just make me angry.

    I don't mind when people know they're stupid, because that's fair enough. When people are so stupid they don't even know, then I just go away because my family has a history of heart problems.

    Well it doesnt happen too much. I see it with my own friends most often. Not that they're dumb nessecarily its just every now and then they'll say something they dont seem to really know anything about. Usually I don't do anything but if I'm bored enough sometimes I'll question it or try to offer a counter-perspective
