Today we live in a globally spanning society where stupidity is actively being praised. People post the most unreasonable and thoughtless comments on articles, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other media only to receive countless likes and up-votes from other persons who are dumb enough to be deceived. This, of course, encourages the up-voters to spread their own breed of stupidity in hopes of receiving the same form of praise from the masses and also serves as a means of justifying their narrow minded views. Needless to say, the snowball effect has rarely been as destructive as demonstrated above.
Ignorance breeds ignorance, and stupidity breeds stupidity. For this reason I fail to see how having one place less where stupid people can thrive is in any way harmful for our species; at this point they should be glad that they are still allowed to vote.
