America the Ignorant

Dumb Things Americans Believe - Newsweek (http://www.newsweek.com/photo/2010/08/24/dumb-things-americans-believe.slide1.html)

some of this stuff is just sad, but not all that surprising I guess

Not sure how people could think Obama is Muslim after he sat in curch with mr "God Dam America" and all his hate on America for 20 some years.

I am 100% sure some irritated liberal made that list.

The one that irked me was that 60 something percent of young Americans can't find Iraq on the map. Come on.

That sort of reminded me of that "Jay Walking" skit that Leno does, where he walks the street and asks folks some ridiculously easy questions... and finds people who think Abraham Lincoln was the 1st president. Fail.

Matty- you're right though. It's is sad, and sadly not surprising. Society will continue to deteriorate into stupidity and ignorance as long as people keep spending more time in front of facebook than real books.

It seems as the department of eduction is succeeding.

That's like saying because you go to a church where the priest molests boys, because you didn't say anything, you have a hand in it. Okay so that may not be the best example but...

Association doesn't always bring assimilation. But I guess when you're president, it kinda does? :confused: Whatevs.

Well if the priest was molesting boys in front of the person then yes they would have a hand in it. Sorry but Obama sat in that church for 20 yrs and why would you go to a church if you did not believe in what the person was breaching. Its old news so I was just trying to make a point why everyone should know he went to church.

But that shouldn't have a hand in people thinking he's Muslim. A bad American perhaps. But connecting the church sitting incidient with that is like saying an apple is an orange.

The overall ignorance of society in general is scary. And to think these are the people voting people into office, is it any wonder why the country is so F'd up??

Critical thinking is a lost art.

People are too intellectually lazy to think for themselves. It's much easier to ally oneself with a certain group and then just accept the party line.
