Sunset-L said in post number one of this thread: "I'm really bothered about the fact that people like to ridicule about innocent people's stupidity, especially posting them on websites.. Really this type of thing that really pisses me off!! Sometimes innocent people make idiotic mistakes that cost them big time.. I don't think it's fair that innocent people are getting punished by making a really bad mistake they never meant to make. People make too many judgements about certain others b/c of their mistakes they never intend to make pushes them so far that they will do something tragic.. IMO innocent people being ridiculed b/c of their stupidity is cruel.. It's just wrong.. "

I think Sunset-L is absolutely right. We're all born with pre-set intelligence and to humiliate someone about a characteristic that's like the color of their eyes or the size of their feet is downright sadism. They already suffer from having fewer opportunities in life and not being able to understand things that others can. It's disgusting to try and cause them more pain. If you want to differentiate between people, focus on their kindness, their help of others worse off than they are and whether or not they'll hold grudges or forgive other people for mindless petty offenses committed against them. Even dumb people can be nasty when they choose to. And even they should not be immune from the kind of retaliation I'm advocating here.

Kaika thinks there's nothing we can do. I respectfully disagree. We can speak up immediately when we see or hear someone, on or off the internet, deliberately try to hurt the feelings of another person, disadvantaged by genetics or not, when the attack seems solely for the purpose of inflicting pain on a person who's just not that bright (or of course on people who have other disadvantages as well). Sadists should be discouraged by a timely counterattack when the person originally attacked may not have the smarts to be able to defend themselves.

Take care.
