Great Britain, Evolutionary Dead End « UK Stupidity »

If you spend a great deal of time perusing Hot Air (like I do), you may have noticed that the bloggers there like to post some topics whose main point is, "Man, people are stupid!" It can be weird laws, ridiculous actions, shockingly-blunt survey results...

...the common thread? They are almost all stories from Great Britain.

So here's more evidence that British society should go the way of the dodo bird very soon.

Honestly, I don't mean to impugn all Britons everywhere, but I'm thinking the only reason 80% of 'em even get a chance to pass on their genes is because it's a target-rich environment.

I'd like to think differently, but the anecdotal evidence is hard to refute. The only possible defense I can think of is that Great Britain has developed the tabloid model of news reporting to the highest possible degree, and the inevitable conclusion is News for the Lowest Common Denominator. Which is pretty much the name of this new category. I'll keep pointing out when there are UK Stupidity articles until I get bored of posting under this topic and stop.

One: your website hates me and refuses to remember my comment info. I hate it back. Just saying.

Two: I kid you not...like, 20 minutes ago, I was washing the dishes and coming up with a blog post list in my head of how everything I have ever learned that has mattered has come from British entertainment.

Are you a Virgo?

Unfortunately the powers-that-be in the UK don't believe in the concept of personal responsibility anymore. They seem to regard their citizens as a bunch of 5-year old kindergarteners who need constant direction and correction from the nanny state. Oh yeah, and there the criminals really do have all the rights, and the victims have none.
