At the risk of getting into a comment war, I’ll just say that it upsets me when someone makes a generalization based on a shared demographic. Being from the “south of the US of A”, I took offense to your comment that that area of the world reinforced your belief that idiots run rampant. Personally, I experienced more stupidity in the chambers of my New England college than I ever saw in my hometown.
Maybe you weren’t intending to make such a generalization, and I shouldn’t get so frustrated. I suppose the whole ‘dumb South’ thing is a touchy subject for me. I don’t think the worth of people should be determined by ‘intelligence’.
No worries , freedom of speech is still going strong on here so you can have a go at me if you want.
I, in fact, did generalize but i must say that before going there i thought the Dumb South thing was just a stereotype. After travelling trough a large portion of it while talking to loads of people i came to the conclusion that it is what it is … Not everybody in the South is dumb (generalisations never are 100 % foolproof) but to my (non scientific) experience the ignorant/informed ratio was not really positive.
I do believe that ignorance is dangerous and creationism, racism and other limited points of view are a threat to people that have less violent or dominant opinions. That is the death of democracy, as been proven by mr George W Bush. The fact that the strongest military force in the world can be controlled by people like that … well that’s just wrong on so many levels.
And i am feeling very stuck up now.
Note : i added the fact that Europe is also filled with idiots. And they are everywhere … and in great numbers.
I would be more apt to give your opinions weight if you were a lucid, literate mouthpiece. But alas, that is not the case.
I am reasonably sure that in order to overthrow a government you need to at least know how to spell it.
Tell ya what, I will give your words a bit more consideration when you can honestly call yourself THIS IS AMERICA – WE SPEAK AND SPELL ENGLISH AND KNOW HOW TO FORM BOTH A COMPLETE THOUGH AND SENTENCE.
Yeah!! I joied that ‘This Is America’ group, and I have left them a polite message telling them the error of their ways. To all the grammar nazi’s correcting the moderators spelling, this time you really do win :).
Charade and Itzme… Another quote for you, don’t know who it’s by but it goes something like “Arguing on the internet is like competing in the Special Olympics, even if you win, you’re still retarded”
But I have to agree with Charade’s original comment, apart from the living in the US bit
Haha sure you do , i am still in doubt about being one myself. Care to enlighten your point of view ?
i find it sad that there are people who can say they are ashamed to live in their home countries, to be honest.

Oops, I also meant to say that I didn’t really mean to call you an idiot whilst angry, so I apologize for that.

ps sorry for the boring, over serious stuck up comment on a site dedicated to mockery of the less fortunate …

If I knew the correct quote, I obviously know who said it you utterly stupid fuck. e.g. means for example

@Itzme
If that’s the case, you insulted me based on what I initially said… because I paraphrased? OK U WIN LULZ
Did I touch a nerve? Lived in the south for a while, did we?

I highly doubt Ruth can get “dumberer” than she already is.
Top of the Class? Fuck him. Seriously, fuck that guy.
