Stupid

"Stupid is not a nice word. Don’t say it." "Don’t call your brother stupid." These things have been instilled in me since childhood.

I heard someone use it the other day. My first thought was, "that’s not a nice word," but the way they were using it was very appropriate.

A lot of things are stupid. People thinking they can define marriage as being anything other than what God created it to be. People thinking they can decide when human life begins so they can justify murder. People being offended by any mention of God or prayer when they are living in a country that was founded on Christian principles. Refusing to teach kids about abstinence but instead offering them birth control, abortions, venereal disease treatment and drugs for depression. High school teachers being penalized for even mentioning the fact that the theory of evolution has many holes in it. Having more concern for criminals and terrorists than for their victims.

What happened to common sense? It seems we have lost it entirely. Maybe if we weren’t so concerned about being politically correct, we could step back and look at all the stupid behavior that is going on in our country and call it what it is!
