“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” - George Carlin

The real tragedy isn't that there is more stupidity in the world, I don't think that's the case, but that being stupid is a source of pride for many.
Take a look around the internet, particularly YouTube. People aren't satisfied with being among the silently stupid or trying to keep their stupidity hidden; they want to show it off like some prized possession, flaunt it in front of everyone, and be acknowledged for it.

I am totally jealous. Progtard. I love that word...rhymes with froglard....feelotard...oh man...I see a punk song with progtard in it in the near future. Did you feel offended? And the opposing word, regrotard. REGROTARD!! I see so much potential here. I do believe, I too, am a progtard. Should I capitalize it...so many questions.

Is that the new description for level 7?

Have you had a badge made yet and can I order one?

I hadn't seen "progtard" before, but an acquaintance uses "libtard" a lot. Having been called that a number of times, I wear it as a badge of honor, especially knowing the sources.

Did you point out that you were rubber and they were glue? You need to speak to these people in a language they can understand.

OH gosh... oh gosh... Now I feel weird. The comment about shampoo???? hangs head I read the directions every time I wash my hair. I read directions. Even worse, on more than one occasion it has kept me from doing something really, really stupid.

Anti-progress...nice stance. lol

LOL so they were losing the debate eh?

Lol... sounds like some kids word they use...i haven't heard that either... lol

Now What did you do to have that honor bestowed on you ?

Sort of like Libtard? This is what happens when you ask idiots to try and get creative I guess.

People love to point fingers, even dumb ones.

Sounds like a south Georgia or north Florida lame attempt to manufacture a feeble attempt at an insult. Those bigots are not bright enough to come up with something better. I know -- I grew up there.

i consider it almost an honour to be insulted by recipients of cerebrectomy

Maybe, like "nasty", it will become a badge of honor.

I think its an Internet phenomenon, in that people out of whack with reality, and especially sociopaths, have finally found a place to spew their stupidity. Not that stupidity is uncommon unfortunately. And you can't cure stupid because of arrogance.

Ignorance + Arrogance = Stupidity
Knowledge + Humility = Wisdom

Yeah, because the human race has really suffered from too much progress. We have progressed so much and society if so comfortable and safe that some idiots actually want to drag the nation back to the stone age! LOL

I had never heard of progtard, even my dictionary didn't give a translatiion it, but google gives at least two descriptions. I guess it's a compliment that I would wear with honor .

Yes, there is no accounting, for ignorance! It can be found in open places and closed places, it just is...I agree with you, but who knows tomorrow, I may disagree on whatever, lol... (I hate these new words that are a mystery to everyone but the user.)

That's a new one even for me. I need to step up my game.

What is a progtard anyway??

Spit upon the fascist criminal theocrats over there for me please

No offense to you, but I like the progtard. It's clever.
