OK so my dad is 70 years old and he is always telling me there's a lot more dumbasses these days then there were back in his day,so I'm curious what's your guys take on this?
I disagree... There were always the same amount of dumbasses, they just now have social media and "reality" TV to better display their dumbass-ery.
I agree with Tex.. They didnt 15 seconds of fame back then. Or a News Paper just for local dumbasses.
Well, if you want to talk about education, a lot more people have it now than back then. If you want to talk about common sense then maybe, but that's not something you can really keep track of. As other posters have said, it's just easier to see now with all the access to media we have.
Your dad lived through: Bomb shelters The McCarthy hearings Jim Crow Nixon Vietnam Breakdancing Pet rocks Hair metal And he thinks there's more dumbasses NOW??
Mhm Take Joey Essex for example: what a dumb cunt Justin bieber; another example, words can even describe the lost soul.
People were less of a dumbass 50 years ago. Even if they did have social media you wouldn't see the stupid shit you see today lol.
