Understanding is a lost art. No, I don't mean understanding as in caring and the ability to relate to someone's issues. I mean plain old understanding what the fuck was just said to you. It seems so easy, something one might learn by the 2nd grade, but both reading comprehension and listening skills have gone down the drain because people seem to only be able to grasp certain words in a conversation and store it in their memory. When time comes to respond, they take those words that they acknowledged and use them to form their own sentence.


Whenever you sit down and watch a movie with someone, it is like their brain goes in to "low intensity" mode where they just flat out don't listen to the individual words people are saying. It is like they have a guy in their head who goes, "not important, not important, not important, ALERT-important!! Send the word "weed" to the processing center, not important, not important, not important." So then the processing center goes, "they said weed and that's funny, here's a message for the lungs-it's laugh time." They have no comprehension of any details. My english teacher used to say, "intelligence is measured in many ways; one is the ability to follow directions." It's true because people don't pay attention to actual words.

Only a few words make it through the filter that is the ear. "I like playing soccer, but I'm allergic to the grass so it sucks when spring comes along," you say. "______soccer______sucks___," is all that makes it to the brain, so you get the response, "I agree, I hate soccer too." It's like a slap in the face for human intelligence and the simple process of comprehending.

Let's play a game. I will give out a story and you tell me what it means in dumbassprehension (dumbass + comprehension for those afflicted). Black culture and white culture in this country is a little different. One is not better than the other, only different.

I hate blacks.

Ha. Anway, my step-dad all today rebuilt the wooden stairs leading from the back door and was all proud of himself. I was like, "great handyman, the bathtub drain leaks water when closed, the basement needs to be waterproofed, and you're still a wussy handyman wannabe"

Only wannabes make waterproof bathtubs and leaking basements. I agree, handymen are such wussies. They take such pride in their homes even though they have to rebuild everything. I was watching this handyman show, Home Improvement, and the guy is such a wannabe he can't fix anything.

I don't agree that the Home Improvement guy can fix everything. Matter of fact, I thought he was really dumb and broke stuff. One of the things that I liked about that show though is that it is set in metro-detroit. Tim Allen is from the D.

I think you are indeed really dumb for thinking he got a D on the show. I must say though that I agree and also like the fact that he could fix metro-Detroit.
