the stupid, it hurts

Okay, Facebook follies...

You know those jokes about something incredibly stupid that our president says? The kind that's been around through several presidencies? Someone posted one of those.

Someone replied, "According to Snopes, this is a hoax. But who knows. I don't trust Snopes."

WTF? Are you kidding me? You had to look that up? And then... you don't trust Snopes? Are you kidding me?

How many IQ are you? Hold up your fingers!

I know, the people who don't trust Snopes OR FactChecker drive me bonkers.

I assume it's because those sites disagree with them too often.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about it.

Think about how stupid the average person is. Then be terrified by the fact that half the world is stupider.

Fortunately, this guy was stupider than average. The person he was responding too seemed pretty average, unfortunately.

Your response raises a question in my mind, Kevin. Are these guys your *friends* on FB? What kind of a crowd do you hang out with, anyway?

The one who posted the joke is my cousin. Guns are her religion.

Ohhhh, I see. "The relatives on Facebook thing."

My sympathies and complete (I mean that sincerely) understanding.

Thank goodness we still have LJ so we can spout off about this, right?
