My Faith in Humanity is Dashed Once More

Posted by Timmy - September 10th, 2010


I mean - everyone knows that the average human is just dumb as sin.

You see the statistics (eg: only 57% of Americans know that the earth revolves around the sun, or whatever it is) and you hear about crackpot theories that are alleged (Secret codes in the Bible/Qur'an/Phonebook).

But you don't really acknowledge how incredibly dim the human race is until you run smack into it.

And the internet allows me to smack into the idiocy that runs rampant within the human species on a more regular basis than I would like.

Take this Comments Section from a relatively straightforward article about a newly discovered dinosaur:

My Faith in Humanity is Dashed Once More

My faith in humanity has been dead for years. Welcome to the club, I guess.

It is cold and dark in here.

clearly you don't have enough faith like Katherine does!

Yes - faith is clearly the key ingredient to intelligence...

That's why I went to philosophy. Humans, whether our hatred of each other will destroy each other, or something will put us down before we have the chance.

I'm assuming that birds will evolve back into dinosaurs in the next few weeks and devour us all.

What, like a funny-talking redneck hasn't made you lose faith in humanity already?

I try to keep my encounters with rednecks to a minimum.

This whole Florida Qur'an burning has made that difficult though.

i REALLY REALLY hate people, there all a bunch of stupid fucks, except for you, your pretty cool.

Yeah - Newgrounds seems to have a number of swell folks like yourself.

The rest of the internet though...I dunno about that place, man.

I noticed that two of the three comments on that page are by women. Just an observation.

The one in the middle is, somehow, the least stupid.

But that's like saying one turd smells less like shit than another.

I was thinking about making a sexist joke about how women shouldn't be allowed on the internet, but that angle is just so played out.

my faith in humanity is declining rapidly... sometimes i litterally have to smack some sense into them by eigher smacking them or punching them... but still they dont learn

Physical violence is usually the best way to increase someone's intelligence.

NO COMMENT.

but you...just...

WOOPS GUESS I DID LEAVE ONE. LOL

Oh ok

"I bet his ancestors back then also had big ears so they could hear the Dinosaurs coming."

lol

I hate stupid people so MUCH D:<

Newgrounds doesn't exist. It's all an illusion made by God to test our faith. Check Corinthians 94:13.

Holy shit, the unknown 94th Chapter of Corinthians.

Is it really a joke at this point?

I think an asteroid needs to come along and finally put a punchline on this sick mess.

I usually get deeply depressed when I think too much about humanity. Not sane, but man I'm glad I'm not stupid enough to be the cause of somebody's depression haha.

At some point, you just have to walk away from it all.

I lol'd. But it's okay, right?

S'ok.

Thankfully at High school people never seem to discuss politics and stuff like this. But I know I'll have to deal with idiots like that when I get a job.
