Stupid Americans...

[Tall Mike 2145]

I'm an American, so I can say this.

Tonight's Jeopard final question was basically who came up with Evolution. Nobody could figure it out. The guesses were Oscar Wilde, Thomas Paine, and I forget the third one.

That's nothing, most Americans don't even know how many states there are:

I know how many states there are, but if I were being honest, I can't pinpoint them all on a map. I also failed the citizenship test in ap us history in high school.

At least that's who Darwin credited.

Our country is more concerned with American Idol than major issues we are facing.

We are desensitized and complacent ; an extremely dangerous level to hang from.

This isn't surprising coming from you.

My I ask why you felt the need to come to this thread and bash my intelligence? My comment was to be taken lightly, as a joke. Yes, I know the 50 states, in alphabetical order, but no, I can't pinpoint every state on the map. Probably a good 35, until I get to the cluster bomb that is the northeast. As for the citizenship test, you'd be surprised what all they really ask on it, and how lazy Americans, especially teens of 16 (because thats how old I was.) are when it comes knowing their history. Im sure I was more interested on what senior was going to ask me to prom. Not that I even needed to explain myself.

You bashed your own intelligence. I was just agreeing with you.

No need for comments like that. There are questions on the naturalization test that I'm fairly sure many people wouldn't be able to answer, such as naming one of the writers of the Federalist Papers. I definitely don't know that offhand. Sure, that doesn't mean you'd fail the naturalization test, but I wouldn't be so quick to pass judgment.

There's a difference between agreeing with an admission and saying said admission doesn't surprise you at all.

the naturalization test

She said AP History, not the naturalization test.

And she can't point to all 50 states in the US on a map. WTF? Best to keep confessions like that to oneself.

Anyhow, she has been following me around on several threads being annoying. I am just returning the favor.

This thread says differently.

Geez, Jerry, major fail again today on your part. I did not post to her. SHE jumped on ME because obviously she is sensitive about her weight. You need to actually read the thread before you post it as proof of something it not only does not prove but in fact proves my point.

I am entitled to my opinion about the horrifying effects that irresponsible breeding and overconsuming are having on our earth. If those of you who mindlessly breed and overconsume are sensitive about it, well the solution to that is to get control of yourselves. You aren't going to change the mind of those of us who live responsibly and have some concern for the future of this earth. We fully understand the issues and see through your transparent attempts to justify your irresponsible life choices.

I read it. More than once. You're lucky it was in the politics forum, because I don't particularly care what you all do or say to each other in there. We're outside of it now, and you have me following you around "being annoying".

 

[androidluvr2]

you have me following you around "being annoying".

yes, you are being annoying because you are posting factually incorrect information and taking threads off topic to boot.

I don't know what you mean by lucky, it was in the politics forum so we were posting about political issues/beliefs. I feel strongly about what irresponsible life choices are doing to this earth and I am brave enough to speak out about it even when it results in abusive behavior towards me like this.

And BTW YOU are the one trying to bring the subject matter from the politics forums into the non-politic forums. You get that, right?

Nothing factually incorrect about what I posted.

I know exactly what I'm doing. And I'm following every rule we have while doing it. You claim someone has shown "abusive behavior towards you", but you justify your own actions.
I'm only here to teach. Sometimes, you have to teach people in a way they don't appreciate until later.
