Hey chief,

Not to burst your bubble, however "Ignorants" is not a word. Ingnorant is an adjective and you are using it as a noun. If you are going to insult the very county that stood in the fold when the Nazi's (Axis Countries) were taking over the world, please use correct english grammer. My grandfather would appreciate it very much. Otherwise, I guess you could say it in German.

BTW, you could use the word "[B]Ignorantist". [/B]That is a noun ;)

Unwissend

Re: United States of Ignorants

When are you guys gonna learn that when someone posts a vid of "IGNORANTISTS", it's only to make fun of the people in the video and not to bash the entire US? What is that attitude about anyway? Do some of you have a self esteem issue or do you tend to generalize everything you read? Hell, I just thought it was funny how Australia got pinpointed a few times and that Canada and France are on the death list of some rednecks.

@ lancecashion:

  1. It's not "english grammer" but "English grammar", so much for being a smart linguist. :roll:
  2. I speak six languages, but English isn't my mothertongue, so excuse me for making a mistake. I'd like to see you make a post in Dutch :roll:
  3. Don't you get tired of dragging shit that happened 60 years ago into discussions? 3 bis. Be happy gramps returned to tell the story. My grandfather was in the resistance and got a nazi firing squad, but I prefer not to abuse that to play guilt trips on other people.

Anything else?

btw: funny card indeed ;)

Re: United States of Ignorants

[quote]In [I]American Prometheus[/I], Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin delve deep into J. Robert Oppenheimer's life and deliver a thorough and devastatingly sad biography of the man whose very name has come to represent the culmination of 20th century physics and the irrevocable soiling of science by governments eager to exploit its products. Rich in historical detail and personal narratives, the book paints a picture of Oppenheimer as both a controlling force and victim of the mechanisms of power.

By the time the story reaches Oppenheimer's fateful Manhattan Project work, readers have been swept along much as the project's young physicists were by fate and enormous pressure. The authors allow the scientists to speak for themselves about their reactions to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, avoiding any sort of preacherly tone while revealing the utter, horrible ambiguity of the situation. For instance, Oppenheimer wrote in a letter to a friend, "The thing had to be done," then, "Circumstances are heavy with misgiving." Many biographies of Oppenheimer end here, with the seeds of his later pacifism sown and the dangers of mixing science with politics clearly outlined. But Bird and Sherwin devote the second half of this hefty book to what happened to Oppenheimer [I]after[/I] the bomb. For a short time, he was lionized as the ultimate patriot by a victorious nation, but things soured as the Cold War crept forward and anti-communist witchhunts focused paranoia and anti-Semitism onto Oppenheimer, destroying his career and disillusioning him about his life's work. Devastated by the atom bomb's legacy of fear, he became a vocal and passionate opponent of the Strangelovian madness that gripped the world because of the weapons he helped develop. Twenty-five years of research went into creating [I]American Prometheus[/I], and there has never been a more honest and complete biography of this tragic scientific giant. The many great ironies of Oppenheimer's life are revealed through the careful reconstruction of a wealth of records, conversations, and ideas, leaving the clearest picture yet of his life[/QUOTE]

Re: United States of Ignorants

how about, "the editors of this newscast sent thier reporter out to find the dumbest people they could and we edited out the few hundred people who gave normal answers and sensationalized the news to make the small handfull of uneducated asshats look like they represent the whole"

thats like interviewing Ru Paul and saying he is a representation of the gay community, or allowing pat robertson to speak for the catholic church instead of the pope or the cardinals.

Re: United States of Ignorants

Hokey, to chill you guys out a bit, here's some self relativation.

Some time ago there was this game show for couples on Belgian TV (searched for it on youtube and google video, but couldn't find it). The point of the thing was to find out how much lovers knew about each other.

So at a certain point a middle aged couple is being interviewed live on the street. First they took the husband apart to ask a few questions and then they asked the wife the same questions to see if the answers were the same.

Interviewer: "When did you last have sex?" Man: "Yesterday." Interviewer: "With whom?" Man: "With my wife." Interviewer: "Where?" Man: "On the kitchen table."

Now the wife joins them and she gets the same questions...

Interviewer: "When did you last have sex?" Woman: "Yesterday." Interviewer: "With whom?" Woman: "With my husband." Interviewer: "Where?" Woman: (turns red) "Oh, I'm not going to say that on telivision, it's too emberassing... no really..." Man: "Ah c'mon honey, you can tell them. I've told them as well." Woman: "Ermmm... well... ok then... in my ass."

:lol::lol::lol:

  4. Now, I know that both of our grandfathers were honorable people :) 3.5 No guilt trips.... Why, do you feel guilty about something? ;)

And another thing... don't hate, masterbate!
