It's fine to make fun of him a little for this little gaffe, but to then go on and on about how "stupid" he is and calling him a "moron" is going too far.

He has a far stronger grasp of international politics than all of us combined. I think we can all deal with this little mistake.

Seriously. Let's be mature.

Children OVER 5 use a computer daily and they have brains like sponges. This is why it is easy to learn foreign languages at a young age and harder as you get older.
I have 2 kids under the age of 5 who have no idea what a url is or a website address so therefore that is an incorrect statement.


Old people Old age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia have brains like rotting cabbage, organic material (the brain) starts to breakdown.

There is really no reason a man his age would know how to work a computer unless he had business with them when he was younger.

My grandmother was a freaking Computer Analyst for the US Govt for over 40 yrs and yet can't work a cell phone NOR a computer.

It proves he has no idea how to even use a computer. His little mistake was proof he's stupid.

You're an angry person, Kootr.

Why do you feel the need to call another human being "stupid"?

Just seems to un-Christian and lacking in wholesome values.

People made fun of McCain because he was unable to use his damaged hand to use a computer very often. And they made fun of Palin about any number of things. Paybacks are fun!!!
