It's barely noon, and the stupidity of others has outraged me.

In life we meet people who are, without a doubt, dumber than a brick. We accept this as that they were brought up by two incredibly neglectful and equally stupid parents, who put them into an education system that whole-heartedly supported the "no child left behind" concepts, as teachers swigged whiskey out of their flasks while their students decidedly did 4+4=banana in music class.

What I'm merely stating is, I've met one of the most ignorantly stupid and gullible people (on the net) ever.

I joined a group on the web that was for those who suffer from some of the health conditions I have. I introduced myself, thanked them for the invitation, and began reading through the board messages on some of the topics. If it weren't for my husband being there (and here in the house), I would have gone (Grape) Ape on these imbeciles.

On relevant topic on RLS piqued my interest, so I dove in and almost immediately started banging my head on the glass coffee table. First, people ask pretty basic (and ultimately easily searchable on the Internet) questions about these problems, particularly about RLS. I was able to give relevant information about it (which went ignored because it was apparently too intelligent for the cumulative I.Q. of 10 of all the participants within the thread). I then read some dolt tell the sufferer of RLS to put a "bar of soap" into their bed and "sleep with it under their sheet" because it will "help relieve the RLS overnight". 

Really. I can't make this shit up. A bar of soap.

I felt the rage well up within me because there are people out there that are actually gullible enough to believe in this tripe. Granted, this sort of old wives tale has worked for some people, because they're NEUROTIC. It's a psychological phenomenon. If you are nuts enough to believe a bar of soap will fix your aches and pains, it just might! But, don't be shocked when it wont.

Because, let's be realistic here. Soap wasn't made to go under your sheets while you sleep at night to magically absorb your pains. It was made to wash the stank off your sweaty, dirty ass.
