I measure intelligence by common sense, as I know people who did really well in school but are still some of the stupidest people I know. As such, I say educate rather then kill. Educate them in common sense, that is.

Nuclear Holocaust should do it... Kill everyone, then we won't have to put up with anyone, unintelligent or otherwise.

Ask a common sense question. Failure=Kill it with fire.

Not only would this eliminate a substantial ammount of idoits, those faking it cause its "cool" would quickly get their shit together.

Well maybe rather than being a pompous, insecure jerk who doesn't have time for people for this post (Like EVERYONE who's referenced some form of mass murder here) I'd like to suggest that as long as someone isn't an asshole they're fine. Sure I've met people before who I knew weren't the brightest bulb in the house but they were still nice and easy to converse with. Normally what I find is that people who have little knowledge on the academic side of things can teach me a thing or two about another topic.

Cut down the unintelligent population, we should focus on cutting down the asshole population. Besides when you think about it a society full of nothing but those deemed intelligent would probably be a boring hell hole. Think about it, games have little to no intelligent value but we all love them, an average popcorn film (Action film, horror film, sex-orientated film and so on) are second only to the plankton at the bottom of the ocean for sophisticated sentience but we all love them.

Though in response to the actual question just better education and more focus on parenting.

Right - and once we've killed all the dumb people who's going to do the shit jobs like pick-up the trash, serve me at McDonalds and dance around a strip pole?

The world needs dumb people as smart people wouldn't do that shit.

Thereby I have found folly with your wisdom, proving you are not as smart as believe you are and therefore must kill yourself with the dumb people :D
Hehe, this is true. And on top - stupidity is relative.

If you killed every perceived stupid person in the world, the so called normal people would be branded stupid by those smarter than them. And then if you killed the normal people, the "smart people" would be called stupid by an even more selective crowd. This process won't end until there is only 1 person alive.

In my eyes you determin intelagence by seeing of the person in questoin has any common sence. Because some of my friends arent the smartest but they have common sence, and thats fine.

also you're allowed to belong to a religon but you must realise that not everyone is exacly like you and that not everyone beleives in god.

Come up with a little test like that and bam, anyone who doesnt pass gets to go skydiving...i think you know what happens when you hit the ground.

The challenge there is in defining common sense. A lot of what seems common sense to me might not for you.

Cultural factors might alter one's definition of common sense, similarly an education might alter one's perspective. I doubt that a English-bloke-down-the-pub and an Afghan farmer will have the same notion of common sense.

Another example: it is common sense to a religious fundamentalist for him to deny evolution and say 'god did it', while it is common sense for a scientifically educated man to go with the weight of hard evidence.

Education though is the answer, you are correct, i'm in a pedantic mood.

This thread has absolutely shattered my faith in humanity. Every single one of you disgust me.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed with their Creator with certain inalienable rights; and among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

So your rights end where theirs begin, and depriving anyone of their "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" because you happen to think they're stupid is absolutely reprehensible and you should all go sit in the corner with dunce caps on for being even dumber than those you condemn.

I am shocked, appalled, and sickened by the attitudes that so-called "intelligent" people seem to have. The smart ones are the biggest fuckwits of them all.

We could try not killing masses of people for no reason. Just a thought.

Hmmmmm. The biggest problem would be that society actually requires these 'stupid' people to actually function properly as a lot of crappy jobs are handled by these people (and middle management positions). So unless you want a career change to garbage man, then I'd recommend that we let live.

Just remove the ability to vote.

Sterilization of people who are below a certain IQ level. (Obviously this would be done after a certain point in their lives where their intelligence could be reliably determined.) Just prevent em from reproducing, and not only will we reduce the amounts of stupidity that is so rampant in our world- we'll also have likely solved the overpopulation problem! Given that those without brains are usually the ones having unprotected sex.

I vote a big red button marked, "if you press this button I'll give you a piece of candy" that kills whoever presses it.
You would kill everyone on earth if you did that.

Including several monkeys.

Heh, I love xkcd. I don't know if you realize, but not every smart person is ugly. Besides, I'm only talking about sterilizing people who are one step up from retardation and below.

make people have to have a parenting license and baby sit then foster care, for a minimum of 5 years before I allow them to breed.
It's not about IQ or looks or anything, it's about creating people who can ACTUALLY FUCKING PARENT.

Allow me the luxury of quoting myself:

So your rights end where theirs begin, and depriving anyone of their "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" because you happen to think they're stupid is absolutely reprehensible and you should all go sit in the corner with dunce caps on for being even dumber than those you condemn.
Or, put another way, "just who the fuck put you in charge and what makes you the arbiter of free citizens' lives?" Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with Aktion T4.
