The biggest morons I know have wasted too much money and time on masters degrees in library science, medicine and civil engineering...they can "think" a good game, but should reality reach up and slap them in the face...they've got nothing. They flounder and it's so pathetic to watch - have 4 of them in my family. One is crazy-Christian so I don't count her.
yadda yadda yadda
So...who's going to delete this post first?
Why would anyone do that? We enjoy seeing right wingnuts make fools of themselves.
It is one of their more endearing qualities.
No offense, but any person with an average IQ would think NASCAR is pretty lame, left turn, left turn, left turn, lap #345..left turn left turn left
turn, lap #480, left turn, left turn, left turn. Have not met many Ph'Ds who are NASCAR fans
Yeah. The technology and physics aspects could be interesting, but just watching is just a little less boring than watching rocks grow.
my 2 cents worth: The "putting down" of educated americans, whether that education is had through formal means (college, etc.) or through non-traditional means (reading, thinking, openminded debate) is really rather appalling! Do we really wish to revert to a country of brawn over brain? It is our native intelligence, a trait that all except for (perhaps) the mentally impaired possess, that has allowed us to create "civilization". This trait has also, of course, allowed us to find ways to take unfair advantage of others, to put selfish needs above societal needs, and to ignore that these practices will, ultimately, hurt our society and our world. We can choose wisdom. . . not the same thing as "education" but definatly related to it; if and only if, we do not choose to rally around the "lowest common denomonator"!
The reason why these "brainy" cities vote democrat is because these larger cities also have alot of welfare families and black and hispanic voters. Everyone knows that these groups vote heavily democrat. If you think that you can convince intelligent people that dems are smarter than conservatives you are wrong. The NY times has very little credibility, that is why readership is down
It's not a question of convincing people that democrats are 'smarter' than conservatives, the article makes the point that the Republican party has alienated intellectuals.
