Are stupid people just generally stupid or...

[Revoltingest]

I see 3 possible answers but I'll go with the first one (cryptic)

There's really only one cromulent answer.
But you already know that.

It took me more like ten seconds, but I've been drinking guinness.

Brainpower enhancing substances are banned!

If you can come up with a better way to measure IQ,
the world will beat a path to your door.

No it won't.
The World is so thick that it wouldn't recognise such a wonderful invention!

A high IQ doesn't guarantee good decision making..

You can say that again!
High IQ has flooded the World with Information Technology which is so insecure that even Land Ownership (in the UK) is being hacked, and householders don't know that their home has been flogged until the Removal Trucks roll up to clear 'em out.

But if you insist, I'll revoke yours

See my face..... ......... do I look bovvered?

Each and everyone of us is stupid to someone else. Get over it.

was it an accident, somebody else's fault or the stupid person's fault?

Not for the first time we are lacking a definition in the OP, so come on Mr Firth, how do you define "stupid"? Someone who lacks social skills/social awareness? Someone who dismisses the bible as something worth bothering about? Someone who values scientific theory over religious doctrine? Someone who didn't do well at school or has a low IQ? When you make the definition clear it helps to keep the thread focused, otherwise it tends to degenerate into a debate about the meaning of words. Just saying pal.

First, define stupid in a particular context. Otherwise, I cannot properly respond to such a vague question.

Merriam Webster's definition is fine. You can go with that.

C'mon, people, you actually expect me to define stupid for you? Webster's definition is fine.

So Webster's says:

"Definition of stupid

1. 
   1a : slow of mind : obtuseb : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless mannerc : lacking intelligence or reason : brutish
   
   
2. 2 : dulled in feeling or sensation : torpid still stupid from the sedative
   
   
3. 3 : marked by or resulting from unreasoned thinking or acting : senseless a stupid decision
   
   
4. 4a : lacking interest or point a stupid eventb : vexatious, exasperating the stupid car won't start"

Mate that is an incredibly subjective definition, please don't palm it off. If a "generic" example of "stupid" is beyond you, give me a specific example of someone you consider to be "stupid". Anyone who disagrees with you might fall into the category of "stupid" right? It is a pejorative term, no doubt used by some groups to describe other groups that disagree with their opinion.
So go on, tell us what you think qualifies as "stupid". I'll show you mine if you show me yours!
