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.

We don't just have stupid people in this country, we have people who simply don't give a fuck about anything but making ends meet or keeping up with a welfare check. I work with hard working, caring people and asking them anything about politics is like asking for a loan....these people are completely clueless on who's running for office, anything, they don't give a damn. YET, they vote republican because they're white and its the thing to do.

Hell, where I was raised, Alabama, if you were white you voted Democrat.

When one party is based on conspiracy theories about the opposition propaganda, this happens.

No, Obama disrespected America.

-Geaux

Barack Obama rose from nothing to become a Senator then a twice elected president of the United States and very wealthy.

Not bad for a 'socialist Kenyan marxist communist America hater'.

Do conservatives ever read back the things they say and write and think, wtf? That doesn't make sense.

Perfect proof and illustration of the dumbing down of America.

I love to hear you whine.

By 1980 the shift of conservatives and racists in Alabama to the Republican Party was almost complete.

Easter is the Christian reinvention of the Eostre fertility festival of the Britons and Saxons.

And you better look up the parallels between the religion Mithras and Christianity.

No. Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It's a day that Christians celebrate, not a pagan holiday. What is your birthday? Chances are it falls on a pagan day of celebration. Are you celebrating that pagan holiday instead of your birth?

Yes, you are wrong again. Please be honest. Easter is the reinvention of Eostre, that we Christians have made into the celebration of our Lord's atonement, death, and resurrection.

Controversial Theories – We support objective teaching and equal treatment of all sides of scientific theories. We believe theories such as life origins and environmental change should be taught as challengeable scientific theories subject to change as new data is produced. Teachers and students should be able to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these theories openly and without fear of retribution or discrimination of any kind. Early Childhood Development – We believe that parents are best suited to train their children in their early development and oppose mandatory pre-school and Kindergarten. We urge Congress to repeal governmentsponsored programs that deal with early childhood development. Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning)

obama is not a muslim

he lacks facial hair, that is required
he drinks beer, publicly, that is forbidden
he ate with jews


before you tell us how dumb we are, don't show how dumb you are first.

that's not an admission, you have to be really, really, shockingly, really dumb to think it is.

true story

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?

It is a safe bet that you have no idea that "milliner" is a person who designs, makes and sell hats.
Your childish and lame attempt at sarcasm only revealed your ignorance, typical of your kind.

Uh.......Gassy edited her post TWICE after I gently chided her for her error.....You lose.......

Fucking idiot......

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".
