Ya ain't gotta make a post outa every dumb email ya git sent.

 

I ain't gotta stick every dumb whore I meet either but your sister won't stop bumping into me.

 

Ain't got no sister. If yer brain werent eatin up by mad cow you woulda said my mother just in case.

 

I try to stay off your mother but the bitch won't let me up.

 

Grim, were you born a stupid red-neck, or were you made that way. The reason they have to put all those disclaimers on there is because idiots, like yourself, do stupid things like that and then turn around and sue the company. It's not how stupid do they think we are, they have to worry about the 1% of the population that's too stupid to look themselves in the face and admit when they did something dumb.

 

Piss off scotty.

 

Exactly. The 1% rule sets policy.

Kind of like him posting that huh Barry

 

You should see his pick-up truck.

 

Dude there is nothing Redneck about my truck are you one of those yankee fucks who asume if anyone drives a truck there a redneck?

That would be like me calling every turd that drove a ricer Vin.

 

Let me help you...

Dude there is nothing redneck about my truck. Are you one of those yankee fucks who assumes that if someone drives a truck they're a redneck?

Now let me address you.

Yes I am a "yankee fuck", so are you, and by definition all the resdt of America is too. Posting pictures of your truck and being proud of it is pretty damn red on the back of the neck. You are not what you own.

And what the fuck is a ricer and who the fuck is Vin?

 

Anyone who lives in the United States and uses the term Yankee to refer to anything but baseball is a red-neck. The civil-war ended, and only 140 years ago, you should all have had time to move on now. Stop being such a dumb-ass.

 

Back to the original topic - How stupid do they think we are?

As far as the Media is concerned, pretty stupid. Actually, it might be the media that is stupid. What is required to be a weatherman anyway? Big tits? A nice smile?

I am listening to some bimbo from CNN as she standsin the rain and points to the Mississippi River and exclaims with all seriousness, " due to the strong winds or hurricane Rita, the river is flowing backwards!!!"

True, the river looks like it is flowing backwards. The waves are going in the wrong direction. What any thinking person would know is that the billions of gallons of water under the waves are still rushing towards the sea.

Simple physics - water follows the path of least resistance. Wind cannot cause resistance to water that it cannot touch. DUH!!!

For the most part, journalists are the stupid ones. They feed stupidity to the masses who gobble it down like cornflakes.

I hate the stupid media.

I always wondered, what the difference between a "weatherman" and a "meterologist"? Is that like a "cook", and a "chef?" I guess it boils down to college credentials

 

they kind of have to do it that way. Think about how dumb the average person is. Now think about this, half the people are dumber than that.

 

whoa... heavy...

 

well, what's the point in doing everything at a PhD level. No one would be able to understand what's going on. The news media, and most other media for that matter, have to put information on a level that nearly everyone can understand, and that means somewhere around the bottom 10% up. Would you rather have it so that only the most educated and the most erudite knew what was going on. That sounds like feudalism, or actually that sounds like what smurf is saying is going on anyway. Go figure.

 

no, I wan't "dissin" you, I was agreeing, it like a short moment of clarity, I was like "whoa!"

 

Wasn't saying you were dissing me. I think you're doing just fine. It's grim that I think is an idiot. By the way, that moment of clarity was provided to me courtesy of George Carlin. I just made some minor modifications and passed it on to you. I do like to rant though.
