Study: Uneducated Outbreeding Intelligentsia 2-To-1
CHICAGO—In a report with dire implications for the intellectual future of America, a University of Chicago study revealed Monday that the nation's uneducated are breeding twice as soon and twice as often as those with university diplomas. "The average member of the American underclass spawns at age 15, compared to age 30 for the average college-educated professional," study leader Kenneth Stalls said. "America's intellectual elite, as a result, is badly losing the genetic marathon, with two generations of dullards born for every one generation of cultured literates." Added Stalls: "At this rate, by the year 2100 there will be five smart people on Earth, swallowed whole by more than 12 billion mouth-breathers incapable of understanding the binary exponentiation that swamped the Earth with their like." High-school dropout Mandi Drucker, 16, said of the findings, "All I know is, we're in love."

1. i think this might belong in the lounge

the onion is a satirical newspaper. im sure you knew that.

[Cannikin]

2. Yes, I knew. Hence the (Humor) part...

Sorry for the misplaced thread...although you could have ignored it.

3. Last figure I knew of stated one in five has a college degree...

there are many reasons for not going to college
other than intelligence. No support system,
no encouragement, a lack of funds, early responsibilities,
fear of the unknown. The wealthy will always be
able to offer their kids great advantages (just look
at bush) that does not necessarily mean that they
are worthy of.

"Study: Uneducated Outbreeding Intelligentsia 2-To-1"
is rather insulting and lacks humor.

4. I got quite a laugh..it is satire, you realize?

I have no college myself...still managed to laugh...guess its a matter of individual senses of humor....wasnt motivated to go, did not have the funds or the family support.

5. At the expense of those with limited educations.

[Cannikin]

6. I have a high school diploma and I laughed at it.

We post 'Onion' and other articles that say 'humor' in the thread quite often. You may want to avoid them to keep from being offended.

8. I get to choose what I avoid......

but thank you for a sudden jolt of
sensitivity.

[JPace]

7. There is no accounting for taste....

it just is.

[Cannikin]

9. I'm gay and live in the south...

Yet I still enjoy redneck humor and gay jokes. That means I have poor taste? If we have to live in a world were we cant speak for fear of offending someone, what a BORING world we will have. Being PC needs to have limits.

11. Post # 7 says it all...

[Cannikin]

13. Post #7 is just plain rude. Poor taste vs. poor manners.

10. I think it's funny

I'm a high school dropout.

[Cannikin]

12. Thanks Melsky...You'd think with all the real issues available to

debate, I wouldnt find myself trying to justify satire to someone who doesnt think its funny. I, for one, think astrology is total bunk, but I respect those that do believe it and dont try to tell them they're wrong for it.

14. The Onion makes fun of everyone

that's why I like them.

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. Cannikan, I think it's hilarious

[Cannikin]

16. Dupe!

[Cannikin]

18. Thank you both..I was feeling a bit guilty for making someone

feel bad...but sometimes the onions articles are supposed to be offensive, but all in good fun. I sure didn't mean to upset anyone!....of course, I didn't see the point in attacking my taste either...guess we're even

17. This Satire sure is funny
