Aloha, I've been spouting out a bit in relations to America's education, or lack there of. Lately, my animosity toward certain political parties and their illogical behavior has turned toward a different light. Just a few days ago I was having a conversation with my father in regards to Terri Schiavo (he is a conservative, will only listen to right wing pundits). I mentioned the fact that her cerebral cortex has atrophied, and he then replied "this is the first time I've heard that". :wtf: even worse, yesterday on the Patriot station, the pundit Michael Medved stated some statistic that basically said that when a boy is molested, it's a 75% chance that he was molested by a homosexual. WHAT????? No WONDER people don't have all the facts when we allow people to say this shit! I wonder how many people, upon hearing that comment, not only did not stop to question the statistic, but automatically believed it to be true? Ok, so why are we allowing pundits of any political stature to get away with this shit? Of course we breed stupid Americans when all we provide is propaganda and false facts. Number one, where has the logic gone? Why have we stopped questioning what we hear? Why does one assume when Lush Rimjob states something that it must be accurate? Again, where has all the logic gone? I have said before, i wish it was hip to know things. So, how do we approach this subject of disillusionment and illogical thought? When will the 2nd Enlightenment begin? Any thoughts?
On edit: SPELL CHECK! (whew, didn't want to have poor spelling in a thread about edumacation)
