    At what age do you stop being naïve and start being stupid?

    F'rinstance, if a 4-year-old believed that potato chips were grown in a magical potato chip forest and harvested by potato chip elves, then I'd think that the kid was naïve. If a 14-year-old believed the same thing then I'd think that the kid was just plain stupid.

    Also, does anybody have a copy of the smilie where this guy is wearing two monocles?

    How old are you, Loinburger?

    Answer that, then subtract one year.

      Is that a one-shot deal, or should I keep calculating that in perpetuity? Meaning, does the stupid-age advance one year on my next birthday, or is it fixed?

      Oh yeah, and jump up your butt.

            I've been trying to find somebody who'll modify the smilie so that the cheeks expand and contract in rhythm with the bouncing guy...

              Not knowing is ignorance, or being naive. Nothing really wrong with that.
              Knowing and still making the mistake, is stupidity. I don't know that one can tie age to it.

                I do believe that begins with puberty.

                      So ignorance = voting for Bush in 2000 while stupidity = voting for Bush in 2004. It is all clear now.

                        Around the 2nd grade- once they have started teaching you arithmatic and how to be literate. Given that the soul crushing process begins then, there is no longer any excuse for fancifull thoughts.

                            It depends on the subject matter. You can be naive about politics alot longer than naive about the easter bunny, for example.
