Depressing Survey Results Show How Extremely Stupid America Has Become

[Geaux4it]

Just the other day I was commenting on how stupid some are in America relative to Waters World talking to losers who did not know what Easter was. Not when mind you, but just that basic knowledge which comes naturally to the many, but somehow escapes them.

But to the point. A slim majority of America, not just elected a Muslim socialist Obama twice, but survey results reveal the dumbing down of America is on a roll.

===================

Ten years ago, a major Hollywood film entitled “Idiocracy” was released, and it was an excellent metaphor for what would happen to America over the course of the next decade. In the movie, an “average American” wakes up 500 years in the future only to discover that he is the most intelligent person by far in the “dumbed down” society that he suddenly finds himself in.

Sadly, I truly believe that if people of average intellect from the 1950s and 1960s were transported to 2016, they would likely be considered mental giants compared to the rest of us. We have a country where criminals are being paid $1000 a month not to shoot people, and the highest paid public employee in more than half the states is a football coach. Hardly anyone takes time to read a book anymore, and yet the average American spends 302 minutes a day watching television. 75 percent of our young adults cannot find Israel on a map of the Middle East, but they sure know how to find smut on the Internet.

What in the world has happened to us? How is it possible that we have become so stupid? According to a brand new report that was recently released, almost 10 percent of our college graduates believe that Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court…

The American Council of Trustees and Alumni publishes occasional reports on what college students know.

Nearly 10 percent of the college graduates surveyed thought Judith Sheindlin, TV’s “Judge Judy,” is a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. Less than 20 percent of the college graduates knew the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation. More than a quarter of the college graduates did not know Franklin D. Roosevelt was president during World War II; one-third did not know he was the president who spearheaded the New Deal.

It can be tempting to laugh at numbers like these until you realize that survey after survey has come up with similar results.

Nothing about this surprises me. I heard some one put it well, high school students can tell you all about billies 2 mommies and anal sex but they can't read.

One anecdotal story, a friend was in bank talking to the bank manager who would not accept a check from a bank in Montana, they only accept checks written from the US. The bank MANAGER. Scary.

The worst part is I know a lot of fabulous kids but the over all masses get dumber by the day. And of course the bright ones are tomorrows evil successful people that only got there because of "privilege".

Ten years ago, a major Hollywood film entitled “Idiocracy” was released, and it was an excellent metaphor for what would happen to America over the course of the next decade. In the movie, an “average American” wakes up 500 years in the future only to discover that he is the most intelligent person by far in the “dumbed down” society that he suddenly finds himself in.

Sadly, I truly believe that if people of average intellect from the 1950s and 1960s were transported to 2016, they would likely be considered mental giants compared to the rest of us. We have a country where criminals are being paid $1000 a month not to shoot people, and the highest paid public employee in more than half the states is a football coach. Hardly anyone takes time to read a book anymore, and yet the average American spends 302 minutes a day watching television. 75 percent of our young adults cannot find Israel on a map of the Middle East, but they sure know how to find smut on the Internet.

What in the world has happened to us? How is it possible that we have become so stupid? According to a brand new report that was recently released, almost 10 percent of our college graduates believe that Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court…

The American Council of Trustees and Alumni publishes occasional reports on what college students know.

Nearly 10 percent of the college graduates surveyed thought Judith Sheindlin, TV’s “Judge Judy,” is a member of the U.S. Supreme Court. Less than 20 percent of the college graduates knew the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation. More than a quarter of the college graduates did not know Franklin D. Roosevelt was president during World War II; one-third did not know he was the president who spearheaded the New Deal.

It can be tempting to laugh at numbers like these until you realize that survey after survey has come up with similar results.

Do you know when Chinese New Year starts?

Again, the question like last time was do you know WHAT easter is.... not when..... Ask me if I know WHAT the Chinese New Year is.

Thanks for proving my point in the post. Did you vote for Obama?

-Geaux

Easter is an ignorant belief in the Bible. God directed John Smith and L. Ron Hubbard to show us how completely insane is organized religion. The ignorant didn't take notice.

You talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Just the other day I was commenting on how stupid some are in America relative to Waters World talking to losers who did not know what Easter was. Not when mind you, but just that basic knowledge which comes naturally to the many, but somehow escapes them.

But to the point. A slim majority of America, not just elected a Muslim socialist Obama twice, but survey results reveal the dumbing down of America is on a roll.

It is depressing and makes me sad and angry at the same time. I only laugh when Watters asks some sad sack why he is protesting. They never have an answer.

I saw a poll and article the other day, 41% of milliennials support Socialism.....14% could explain what it is. We're fucking doomed

How many milliners are there, Gassy?

When you can address someone properly you may get an answer...until then gfy old timer

Nothing about this surprises me. I heard some one put it well, high school students can tell you all about billies 2 mommies and anal sex but they can't read.

One anecdotal story, a friend was in bank talking to the bank manager who would not accept a check from a bank in Montana, they only accept checks written from the US. The bank MANAGER. Scary.

The worst part is I know a lot of fabulous kids but the over all masses get dumber by the day. And of course the bright ones are tomorrows evil successful people that only got there because of "privilege".

You can thank corporate America and their henchmen the Republicans for that.

I heard the same story, but as it turned out, "Montana' was actually Manitoba.

Agree.
