It's clear from the way you structure sentences and express yourself that you have education oozing from every pore and I bow to your omnipresent glory.

I think you mean omniscient.

Omnipresent means being everywhere all the time, and has nothing to do with education or intelligence.

I would think that omnipotent would be more appropriate.

Nope, I meant omnipresent. I can feel the warmth from here!

"Education" has absolutely no connection with intelligence. The "ability" to repeat what you have been "taught" is at the same level of "intelligence" of a well-trained dog.

Well that may be slightly true.

Education is the training by which intelligence can moulded. Intelligence is the abilty to learn and this is the key--apply knowledge.

My educators never taught us through memory, it was always about abilty, skills, and thought/rationale. Memorization only works for learning math theorems.

Btw:
omnipresence means 'all around/present'
ominpotent means 'all power(ful)'

I think you all mean omniscient, which means 'all knowing'

But thank you, I'll take them all as compliments, haha

I do know the meaning of the words and I by no means called you all knowing.
Again you have impressed me with your understanding of the spoken language.

Bowing to someone's "omnipresent glory" after they tell you how smart they are is sort of like bowing to someone's swimming ability after they tell you how good looking their wife is.

In other words, your use of word omnipresent didn't make much sense.

How many of you know which one of those I named was responsible for the most deaths? How many know which of them starved over 7 million people in about one year and those people produced much more food than they needed to survive?

Oh well, one more time, watch the show on Temporarily Unavailable and learn some things that too many of our progs just don't know. Hell many conservatives don't know all these things.
None of those were progressives. You obviously have only the vaguest idea of what progressivism is, no doubt based upon crude caricatures and strawmen by right-wing pundits.
