we are all born mad. some remain so.

not say i want to say... but sometimes the ignorance of some americans just gets to me. i remember a couple of years ago preparing for our GP, our tuition teacher showed us a documentary where they surveyed some americans about their thoughts on global warming, to which they replied "it's all a hoax created to scare the people. there's nothing such as global warming!"

not to mention a year ago where miss south carolina unwittingly replied to the question "Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children."

FTW!

what irked me today was the response to kris allen winning american idol. some fella on a forum wrote
"I personally think, in person that is, that most Americans cannot tell where Hollywood is based on a map because of the children in 3rd World Countries. If we were to learn to count using an abbacus like they do in the Country of Asia or Africa, may be Adam could have won. With no intent to offend anyone, Adam lost because Ms. California is stupid and does not agree with gay marriage. BTW, Kris has a nice ass...while Adam has an amzing voice and talent!"

Dear Lord, get me away from the stupidity of these people as far as possible.

freedom of speech is thoroughly wasted on people like them.
