Call the sheep dumb but maybe they just don't take the reports of the wolf seriously. I mean, this little box tells me all kinds of stories. Aliens. Spaceships. Monsters. One gets jaded.

Children's stories are often seeds of critical thinking sown in growing minds.

This shows that a shit tonne of American parents didn't read their kids bed time stories

Like the emperors new cloths was suppose to be a stop gaurd against someone like trump. Nope. The only fairy tales we subscribe to are bible^tm^ and they need to be predigested by a guy who touches little boys.

Sad thing is, the person who read me the emperors new clothes is the one gobbling his knob.

Wisdom is probably a very real feature of society we need and depend on. I think with the suddenness of all the technological advancement the wisdom we needed to have in place just wasn't there.

It's almost like the reason there isn't any visitors in a universe filled with life is knowledge cannot advance as fast as intelligence.

Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue, eat their corpse, shit himself, murder a puppy with his bare hands while screaming ALLAH AKBAR and STILL mother fuckers would vote for him just for lower egg prices

We are the dumbest fucking country on the planet

A couple countries in Europe are in the running, and now even Canada too, I'm told.

Man you are imagining trump capable of a lot of exercise. The guy could never do any of that he'd die of a heart attack trying to walk up to somebody

murder a puppy with his bare hands

Would have to be quite a small puppy, though.

You didn't really need to add the bigoted bullshit and just as reference "god is great" was and is still a warcall of Christians.

And egg prices will still go up.

Catastrophicly so.

This is definitely a repost.

This reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. Eventually the boy cries wolf too many times, townspeople stop listening to the boy, and stop responding to the cries.

The way we tell it, though, is that the boy is falsely crying wolf each time. And the townspeople eventually learn their lesson and stop responding.

One hypothetical that I always think about is what if the boy is correct each time, and there really is a wolf every time? Well, I think the townspeople would eventually grow numb to the cries and stop responding anyway, and kinda leave the boy to fend for himself because they're sick of helping him. We'd see the same result even if the boy did nothing wrong.

They couldn't afford to get tired of helping the boy, since he was working for the town. The townspeople hired him as a lookout for wolf which was a threat to the town.
