This isn't anything new, actually.  It's just easier to notice some times.

I can guess how it ended. The smart people all died because they were not nearly as smart as thought, and without the idiots they abandoned, there was nothing to contrast them as the smart people anymore. If you take out the idiots, we're all just average. :idea:

uv overlooked the stupid people that carry this country: janitors,garbage men, fast food workers (no offence mod-lord), mailmen and the guys who put the lil umbrellas in drinks but dont actually make the drink, and dont forget bush-without them wed have to resort to manuel labor ourselves (thus insiting a heirarchy of smart people working under slightly smarter people until these lower class intelligents revolt causing their masters to pick up and move to another island; the cycles repeats until we'r all gone)

That's fine.  The problem is, some of them are apparently pretty well connected, because they keep getting promoted to management positions in most of the companies I've worked for.  The stupid ones always seem to be the ones rising to the top, in spite of glaring incompetence and a complete lack of leadership.

Oh well.  Shit floats, I guess.

People with Ph.Ds can still not have common sense. There's a difference between book smarts, street smarts, and just plain common sense.

It's the lack of common sense in people that annoys me the most. You'd think that someone would know that eating a Big Mac a day would make you fat, but, some do not.  :evil:

Speaking of which, I consider myself to be somewhat smart, at least above "average" anyway.  I have an education in Nuclear Science, I have worked as a licensed private investigator, and for the past five years as a database programmer/application developer.

I just applied for a position as an armed security guard today.  Because I can't find any jobs that will otherwise allow me to pay my bills and my unemployment benefits extension has just about dried up and I still haven't found a job in ANY of the lines of work that I'm qualified for (i.e., engineering, programming, PI work).

I get the feeling that they'll probably hire me, since I have a background in a field that involved carrying a weapon and some education towards that as well (required for licensing in the state I worked in, plus I took some criminology and forensics courses at Quantico to supplement that).  So who knows?  Perhaps soon I will be standing around, asking "Can I see your ID badge please?" and letting people through a security checkpoint, into a place that in any other economic situation I might be working as an engineer (it's at a local nuclear plant).

Oh the irony.

I think that too. Yet I haven't really been educated in any special field. Then again there is Spanish, but I don't even NEED that. If you're going to come here speaking Spanish I'm simply going to delete it. I'll show those Education Mongers.

Oh yea, Demo, here's where all the script kiddies will say that you're sick with power. You're going to be a moderator at Hacker Network with a gun! Just don't let them know that when you ban them, they'll cry foul.

Um.. the people in my school got fed up with a stupid rule by the administration, and did things about it (Though I forget what). It was reversed soon after.

Right, not being able to wear foot wear without a strap that goes around the ankle was "illegal" by them.

I don't care about any of the rules they decide to make to protect people from themselves or to protect others; I don't need to be protected from myself, and there's nothing you can do to control half of those people.

I believe that they didn't listen to the rule and complained to the proper people that it didn't do anything, that it was just a false sense of security.

Maybe it'll turn out like when Brazil sued the Simpsons....

We sent Bush on a mission of diplomacy, and he asked the Brazilian leader-type guy in I believe these words "So do yall have blacks too?"

We turned it around.

Canadian eh?
« Reply #22 on: August 01, 2002, 02:20:56 PM »

Well, being Canadian, I do have less to worry about, especially with our American Gaurd dog around, but it is very expensive to keep feeding him, ie:"free trade" lumber, beef, wheat, etc. If only the frogs would leave Ottawa, we would be better off, but most of you are probably thinking "Ottaw? Is that some kind of fast food place?"
