Should idiots be saved?

[Kaiser of Arabia]

You mean cannibalism?

Only the poor will have to eat them, who cares about the poor?

Me? *and the Ghost of Mother Theresa*

*gets shot by Che Guevera's Ghost*

That must be my quote...

To tell you the truth, I was looking for a much cooler quote from Che saying something along the lines of "Fidel is not a communist, otherwise he'd have more guns..." But I couldn't find it.

About the topic, I stand by my statement, and would like to add that without idiots, smart people will no longer be smart; the knight is a serf if there is no one under him to be his serf.

Also, I'd like to stress that there *is* a limit to where fiscal conservatism can go. Saving lives is one of the limits; after all, aren't conservatives supposedly are "pro-life?"

Bah, communists.

If people are too stupid to be able to live on their own as adults, beh, let's just use them to build a bridge...a meat bridge.

Mother Theresa, you mean?

Erm...I think you are in a wrong thread. You see, this thread is not about social welfare (I presume you're talking about this), but is about actually rescuing the people who happens to be in a dangerous position, often by accident. But there is an assumption that many who got themselves into trouble are idiots, and the example in the first post "demonstrates," and thus, the topic: Should idiots be saved? And I answered yes.

on a completely unrelated note to Kaiser, I'm actually going to another debate tournament tomorrow-the day after tomorrow! I won LD novice the last one, by the way. It was awesome. This time my topic is about Judicial Activism--whether or not it is necessary to protect the rights of American citizens. Challenging as hell, this topic.

Awesome dude! We have the speaking tournement this december, our coach is making me do the patriot act. I'm already being known as the Patriot act kid cause so far that's been a major point in every compitition I've been in. Good luck with that, hopefully we'll do good in this comp. so we can go to the major one in Penn State, that's a two-nighter as well.

Back on topic: Meh, we shouldn't waste the resoruces if it's proven the person's an idiot.

What is the threshold for idiot?

Speech Impediment.
Falling off a Segway.
Choking on a pretzel.

Would you save this person or are they below the idiot threshold?

Most people look like idiots at the site of an incident. You cannot make a valid judgement call as we all have accidents. Of all the times you are most likely to look stupid that is when you are in a state of shock after an accident.

So what next kill all those who have had accidents and are dazed afterwards?
