Do you ever feel like you've accidentally stumbled into a drama? And just want to STFU?
I do. All the fucking time!

However, I am fortunate. My circle considers me too dumb and naive to figure it out.

Whew! Thank gawd! I may be naive, but I am not dumb! And that's not an accident!

Ignorance is bliss. O8)

3. Shit. I just listen. I must have this sign on my head.
Then I think, uhm, I am getting out of this before it blasts off.

I take off for a few weeks, then, "Lil Missy, did you hear what happened?"

Nope.

I'm dumb. On purpose.

4. stumble into, never
i just wait for my rednecked aunts to show up and start shit with my mom, me, or each other.

is it wrong to feel intellectually superior to people that purportedly are intelligent, but in reality have the IQ's of cheez whiz?

6. No, I don't think it is wrong to suppose intellectual superiority.
Shit, I feel like I have to dumb myself down to relate to most people.

I just thought it would be impolite and bitchy of me to say so. Christ, I was asked yesterday who the VP is, and who ran against them.

Sorry, needing a little more intellectual stimulation here!

9. Factual intellectual superiority is fine. A fact is a fact.
Using it to cause harm isn't okay. Judgement must always be tempered by equal measures of compassion.

Guess which of these two our "culture" is severely lacking?

Bush and friends are arguably intellectually superior because they ran Machiavellian scams and walked away with two trillion dollars of OUR money (while laughing at New Orleans). If you endorse intellectually superior behavior, then the economy is something you'll have zero right to complain about. I mean these things generally, not specifically in response to you.

Too much judgement utterly removes the human factor, and "they" become nothing more than targets.

14. No way. Bush and friends are NOT intellectually superior. They are just criminals.
Don't start a GD argument here. I avoid that today, and you just gave me a seizure.

27. Sorry, I won't draw it out, but remember
they got away with it. How intellectually inferior is that? We gave them eight years to do crimes, and they did. Incredible shame on us.

Check the book "Bush's Brain" if you have any doubt of their machination and creation of causes and conditions.

15. I never worry about the new people. I always take them with a grain of salt, and suspect a motive.
Those are easy to deal with.

16. Yeah well
I have neighbors who are from Seattle and I mentioned I bet they had a hard time with our weather, coming from such a moderate climate. Then they mentioned they both grew up in Alaska. DUH. Every time I see them I think of my cold weather remark. :eyes:

18. Yeah, ya just never know.

I'm not sure how this relates to my OP though.

Perhaps it was just a friendly gesture. And that's okay. :)

19. I stumbled into a drama too and I wish I had never gotten on the subject
of the weather and where they had lived before. :)

23. oh, I've already written way too much about some of it on here
I just want to get away from it. This is a pretty small town, and I exist within a very very small social group within this town. Ugh.... too much.

25. oh, there was a lot of it last week
Like, I walk into a room with some people, and there's a record-scratch in the space-time continuum. Stick around - I'm sure there will be loads more in the coming weeks!!

28. Yup, just got a call.
Pumping me. Nope, friendly chat, and I said nothing. Kaythxbai!

I think this should be a job skill. I am really good at playing dumb.

29. the only time that ever happens to me is on the phone, i get a call from my sister
who always has a bug up her ass about my Dad so she calls me to bitch about it. The answer is always the same-i live 3000 miles away from you people for a reason, grow up and drive the 8 miles to his house and talk it out and don't call me with this bullshit again. Anything he may or may not do is taken as a slight by her, she desperately needs his approval, why, i have no idea, i also told her to get some help with that.
