BBC Documentary - Stupidity "Full Movie"

This documentary about stupidity tells us the history of the word "moron", the difference between stupid, moron, smart, intelligent, genius and questions the regular practice of classifying peoples intelligence through standardized IQ tests. Of course also Mr. Bush is examined in this report. A well educated guy who, nevertheless, acts in a completely dumb way -- or at least wants us to believe so.
Albert Einstein said:
"Only two things are infinite the universe and stupidity.
and I am not sure about the former."

I hate to say it, but this doc. is NOT a BBC production. It is Canadian. See the little circle thingy in the lower right corner? That stands for the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp.) also, the little human figure/eye icon to the right of the CBC icon? It stands for the National Film Board of Canada. No BBC (British Broadcasting Corp) employees were harmed during this production ;)

Ummmm...kind of an ironic error considering the subject, eh?

Define stupid, they are giving their views and the film scrolls synonyms?

which... extremes are you talking about? Those defined by logic, or those defined by your "feelings"?

Arent cities dangerous?

Would you walk without looking carefully before you cross a street? (i believe thats a skill most parents teach us before elementary school, just in case they arent around to check if we are ok).

I dont need to exagerate to expose what means that we try to do things right, and make an effort to take advantage of what human race has done right.

To walk without watching, is

Yah I just hate how they just go in circles.

[Crittervids]

I feel like I should at least have gotten to the halfway point before I criticized this film.. but I just could not tolerate any more smug, pseudo-intellectuals forgoing subjectivity, and context when calling people who are not they "stupid"..

Why has every individual I have ever met that has uttered the words, "I hate stupid people" end up saying something stupid in the next few sentences?

[Crittervids]

Yeah, subjectivity is a bitch. We all like the dichotomy of smart vs. stupid. However, I would be willing to bet all of us live in the grey area in between .
