Droz: Ok, now it's true, the majority of students today are so cravenly PC, they wouldn't know a good time if it was sitting on their face, but there's one thing that will always unite us and them. They're young. They may not realize it yet. They've got the same raging hormones, the same self-destructive desire to get boldly trashed and wildly out of control. Look out that window! That's not a protest! That is cry for help! They're begging us... [shouts] Droz: Please have a party! Feed us drinks! [Continues shouting] Droz: Get us laid! Aahhhhhh!
Manuel Ramirez: Here's my one basic truth: the majority of people in this world are stupid.
[Screen Text]: In 1961, and experiment was conducted by Dr. Stanly Milgram a psychologist at Yale University. [Fade] [Screen Text]: Participants responded to a newspaper advertisement. [Fade] [Screen Text]: The purpose of their 'obedience study" was to observe an individual's willingness to inflict pain when ordered to do so. [Fade] [Screen Text]: The participants did not know that the "victim" was an actor and that the shocks were not real. [Fade] Research Subject #2: ...who's going to take responsibility if anything happens to him? Researcher: I'm going to take responsibility. Please continue. Victim: [screams off camera] [Screen Text]: All of the subjects administered shocks. The majority did so at the maximum level: 450 volts.
Penn Jillette: He talks about how he's speaking for the people. He goes on with his Governor Bush things, he didn't really win the majority of the votes, and blah blah blah. And really, if the majority of the people had their say on Michael Moore, I think it would be, "Shut... the fuck... up"!
Dickie Pilager: [conducting a press conference] In the case of capital offenses I am absolutely in favor of the death penalty. You hear stories about frontier justice - you can bet that the wrongdoers, the folks who couldn't play by the rules, had some respect for that. And there was no - [starts floundering] Dickie Pilager: it didn't cost the taxpayer - if they had had taxpayers back then... those were the good old days, I suppose - [gathers steam again] Dickie Pilager: and all you needed was a good strong rope and a tree to hang it from! Reporter #1: So you'll be proposing tougher criminal legis... Dickie Pilager: My message to criminals is this: straighten up or get out. There's no place for you in our state. You do the crime, and by God, you're gonna have to face your lumps. Nora Allardyce: But the majority of those serving time for drug possession are... Dickie Pilager: You want to change the behavior? Stiffen the consequences! Nora Allardyce: There have been reports, Mr. Pilager, that before you became involved in politics you had considerable experience with... Dickie Pilager: Look, if you're up in a helicopter, airplane, something that flies, you don't want your pilot intoxicated with drugs, do you? And it's that way with our schoolchildren... Junior can't read if he's high on crack. Yeah, air is thin enough up here! [points to another reporter] Dickie Pilager: Yes?
Claire Cleary: Actually Todd is an amazing painter. He's going to the Rhode Island School of Design. John Beckwith: Wow, that's a great school. Congratulations, Todd. That's really impressive. RIS-D! Todd Cleary: Yeah, Dad - Dad always thought I'd be a political liability... [getting angry] Todd Cleary: ...in case he ever ran for President. Secretary Cleary: Now, now Todd. Actually, truth be told, polling shows that a majority of the American people would ultimately empathize with our situation. Todd Cleary: [sharply, raising his voice] What IS our situation, Dad? Grandma Mary Cleary: You're a homo.
Seth: When I was a little kid, I kinda had this problem. And it's not even that big of a deal, something like 8 percent of kids do it. For some reason, I don't know why. I would just kinda... sit around all day... and draw pictures of dicks. Evan: What? Seth: Draw pictures of dicks. Evan: Dicks? Like a man dick? Seth: Yes. Like a man dick. [while you see Seth when he was a kid] Seth: I'd just sit there hours on end drawing dicks. I didn't know what it was. I couldn't touch the pen to the paper without drawing the shape of a penis. Evan: That's fucked. Seth: No shit. It's really fucked up. Here I am. A little kid. And I can't stop drawing dicks to save my own life. [you see the kid Seth draw a lot of different dicks on different sheets of paper and see a gallery of his drawings one by one] Evan: Alright, I mean... I just don't see what this has to do with Becca. Seth: Just listen. Okay? [you see the kid Seth in a classroom] Seth: Your precious little Becca sat next to me for all of fourth grade. And in the classroom was where I did the majority of my illustrations. I was very secretive about this whole dick operation. Even I thought I was fucking crazy. Imagine what everyone else would think? So I would stash all my dick drawings in this Ghostbusters lunchbox that I had. So one day, I'm finishing up this real big, veiny, triumphant bastard, all of a sudden... Kid: Pussy! [walks by the kid Seth and pushes his notebook and his dick drawing off the desk, and it lands near kid Becca] Evan: You hit Becca's foot with your dick? Seth: Yeah. I know. [kid Becca picks up the drawing he just did, looks at it for a second, sees that it's a dick, and screams her head off and runs to the teacher] Seth: She starts crying, she flips out. Then she rats me out to the principal. He finds this Ghostbusters lunchbox dick treasure chest and he fucking flips out. [you see more of his dick drawings one by one] Seth: He calls in my parents. Turns out this principal is a religious fanatic, and he thinks I'm possessed by some sort of dick devil. My parents go make me see some therapist, and he's asking me all these dick questions. They literally stopped me from eating foods that were shaped like dicks. No hot dogs, no popsicles... You know how many foods are shaped like dicks? The best kinds. Evan: Well, I don't... That's really messed up. Supergay.
Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible
Congressman Doyle: Are you asking this committe to believe that you attended the meeting of a communist organization because of a girl? Peter Appleton: Yes sir... I'm sure that even a majority counselor like yourself has familiar with the concept of impressing a girl!
Professor G.H. Dorr: To penetrate the vault here this afternoon, while Mrs. Munson is at church, havin' blasted that little old rock to pieces durin' Mrs. Munson's choir practice. Garth, can you run us through the game plan for what remains of our tunnel? Garth Pancake: Of course. Why, it's child's play now. Easiest thing in the world. Only a couple of feet separate us from the vault. Just the usual spadework until we get to the masonry of the vault, and then we just drill through. Professor G.H. Dorr: And will you be able to wield the drill with your maimed extremity? Garth Pancake: Oh, well, yeah, I should think so. Yeah, it's, uh, it's only one finger. Inhibits me in doing finer work of course. I'll always have to live with that. Maybe - I'm just thinkin' out loud here - maybe, since as you say there will be problems later, maybe - and I actually mentioned this to Mountain Girl, she agrees with me, so it's not just one person's opinion - maybe, uh... I should get a little extra compensation for the accident. Somewhat larger share. Why, if this was any other line of work, I'd be getting workman's comp. Wouldn't I? Might even have a pretty good lawsuit. Gawain MacSam: Wait, so you gonna sue yourself for blowing your own goddamn finger off? Garth Pancake: Well, now that is simply asinine. Professor G.H. Dorr: Yes, but you see, Garth, this is not what you just called "some other line of work." Garth Pancake: Yeah, no, no, no, but if it were... Professor G.H. Dorr: This is a criminal enterprise, not to put too fine a point on it, entailing any manner of risk not involved in honest labor. Governmental regulations and civic safeguards cannot be assumed to apply to antisocial pursuits. Lump Hudson: Yeah, but he lost his finger. Gawain MacSam: We don't give a fuck! That fool could blow his goddamn dick off, it don't make no nevermind to us! We not payin' this jackass for goin' around blowin' off goddamn body parts! Get yo' fuckin' head out yo' ass, man! Garth Pancake: Look you, there is no call for... The General: No extra share! Garth Pancake: OK. Majority rules. Like I say, it was just a trial balloon. Hand's not so bad really. I even get some phantom feeling. Gawain MacSam: Yeah, you pull on your prick, you get some phantom feelin'. Garth Pancake: Fuck you. Gawain MacSam: Fuck you. Garth Pancake: Fuck you! Gawain MacSam: Fuck you, nubbie! Professor G.H. Dorr: Well, now that that matter is settled, why don't we synchronize our watches before Gawain reports to work. In 20 seconds, it will be exactly 12:16. Fifteen... Garth Pancake: What, it'll be 12:15? Professor G.H. Dorr: No, 15 seconds. Well, 11 seconds now. It'll be 12:16. Eight, seven... Lump Hudson: Professor? Prof...? Professor G.H. Dorr: ...six... five... Yes, Lump! I don't have a watch. Lump Hudson: I don't have a watch.
Revolution is a spectators sport. The majority will sit in the stands and watch the factions fight. At the end they will choose side with the team that is winning.
I don't imagine you will dispute the fact that at present the stupid people are in an absolutely overwhelming majority all the world over.
