      Yup.

      Gonna spend the rest of my life knowing I’m surrounded by fucking morons. And I’m not some genius. I had a typical public education. I guess the difference is I actually paid attention.

      Not a great feeling. Especially since that probably means things aren’t generally gonna get better. Can’t have a good society if it’s overflowing with dipshits.

        I’m in the same boat as you. I think I’m pretty middle of the pack. The bottom is filled with genuine morons.

            Correction: Trump’s father BOUGHT a degree from Wharton.

            No one who actually earned a college degree, especially from a notable college, speaks and acts and makes mistakes like Donald Trump.

              I’m sure Wharton educated trump. Whether any of it mattered… Well that’s the difference between education and intelligence…

        There’s also the time JCPenney’s actually had everything at the best price and so they weren’t doing discounts. But everyone was waiting for the ‘sales’. Your average American would rather have something be marked up $200 and then listed as 75% off than just pay $50 regular price.

      We don’t have that on lock, dipshit. Look around you, the entire world is fucking up royally. We just happen to be one of the biggest shitshows going.

      The fact that you treat Americans like a monolith shows that you’re dumb as fuck too.

        Yeah, I dunno broseph. Lots of other first world countries have things like universal healthcare, paternity leave, significant and mandatory vacation, longer lifespans, generally higher quality of life and happiness, politics that aren’t straight up clown shows, more human rights.

        You’ve successfully nailed an obvious generalization that there are stupid people everywhere, but the point is that stupidity is hyper-concentrated in the good ol’ US of A. As is evident.

          No one was arguing that, stay on point. I KNOW and most democrats do about the fucking shitshow that is our government’s treatment of its people.

          I’m devastated by my country and will die in feeling. So again, you’re an obvious idiot as well.

          Also, bro, women exist online. I know, shocker.

          I think lead poisoning is epidemic in America. Decades of no money being spent on infrastructure will do that.

        America, as a nation, is unarguably fucking stupid. The rest of the world has been overly influenced by America, due to it’s wealth and power, for a very long time. We used to say that when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. Recent events have seen a great decoupling of the world from America. We’ve seen that the American way is utterly fucked. America is the turd that is sinking whilst the rest of the world will get more buoyant as the new reality sinks in.

          Who TF is talking g about Healthcare? I love how so many people keep hitting that. MOST OF US KNOW YOU STUPID TWAT. However, millions and millions of us donating money, fighting, and marching can’t fight against the RICHEST MAN ON THE PLANET.

          He’s coming for your country too. Can’t wait.

      Sigh, Its worse than that. Most of us are lazy. Lazy with their thoughts and how they learn new information. By the time they notice how bad they have it wrong you want to slap them. Of course most of them will blame anyone but themselves for their problems.

      I always knew this based on education standards/testing, but I wasn’t thinking we were a special needs country. All that revolution and democracy and hundreds of years of success and growth and then we just shoot ourselves in the face.

      But hey, at least we got… to own the libs?
