But in order for that to become their normal walking speed they would have had to ppractice.Putting in that much time and effort makes them more of an asshole, not less.

No, because it takes a concious effort to walk that slowly. They are intentionally engaging in an act that provides them with no benefit but causes problems to others. Unless they are sadists in which case I suppose their benefit is taking joy in causing others to suffer.

I'm not saying that they need to help anyone. They just need to not actively be a hinderance. There's a big difference.

The definition of asshole from www.dictionary.com: "a stupid, mean, or contemptible person."
Hits all three counts.

So me believing that people who are behaving like assholes should stop doing so makes me an ass? That's a ridiculous assertion.
If I get to the narrow hallway before a slow person, they aren't affected because they can continue to be slow behind me as I get to my vehicle in a reasonable amount of time. They aren't being pulled along in my wake and forced to speed up to a normal pace. If they beat me to the hallway then I am forced to alter my pace because they are behaving like an asshole.

Me walking at a reasonable pace doesn't affect anyone else, I just get further and further ahead. Them walking too slowly negatively affects me. And as I said earlier, I don't expect people to power walk, just to walk at a reasonable pace.

If they're in the middle of a narrow hallway? Or on a sidewalk where the only way around involves stepping into mud or traffic? Yes, they are being an impediment and in doing so being an asshole. Just walk faster. It isn't fucking hard.

If they are walking slowly and impeding others by doing so then yes, they are behaving as assholes.

Catering to assholes is a better solution than expecting them to act like decent human beings? You're right, that sounds like a way better idea. Hell, why expect them to move at all? They should just build human barricades on sidewalks and in hallways to completely gum up foot traffic.

I'm not talking about power walking everywhere but walking at a downright ridiculously slow pace, especially down a narrow sidewalk or hallway, is just rude.

Many people walk way slower than they need to. I'm not talking about individuals who have a disability of some sort, I'm referring to people who have no legitimate reason to walk slowly but do so anyways.

Because a basic grounding in science is far more important than artistic appreciation. Look at the measles outbreaks due to people not getting their kids vaccinated. This wouldn't have happened if these parents were even slightly scientifically literate. And most schools don't require calculus or even trigonometry, just theough algebra which is useful in everyday life. It helps me make financially prudent decisions at the grocery store. It's useful in minor construction projects around my home. These are real life skills.
I'm not going to say that the arts aren't difficult, I started painting models a few years ago and it's taken a lot of practice to get to what I would consider an average level of skill. There is a lot of technique and talent involved. But these skills aren't as necessary to being a functional adult as basic math and science are,

Pit bulls are aggressive when people train them to act that way. They're a very intelligent, eager to please breed so that can lead to extremes of whatever behavior they ate trained towards.

Or this all could have been avoided if they didn't post spoilers to a 2 day old movie. Title or not they were in the wrong

I'm just calling it like it is. Maybe jerk or the equivalent would have been a better term since what they posted was incredibly rude but the original post displayed a lack of common sense so idiot is also on fitting.

No the fault lies with the idiot who decided to post spoilers about a brand new movie so they could tell a made up a story about a theater audience. They could have easily picked an older movie for their fake story
