          I've seen similar things done here with results just as bad.

          It's kind of annoying when you suddenly realise that your vote is worth the exact same as theirs.

            The statistic I found worst was that one in five American adults think that the sun goes around the earth.

              The fucked up part is these aren't inner city under-privileged hood rats - they seem to be mostly middle-class white kids. Maybe that's the other extreme, they're soft, lazy, and spend all day playing x-box..

                Don't get me started...

                I remember...as a kid...actually being a bit inquisitive...granted...there weren't a lot of other things to do...not like today...

                But fuck...if I'd have had the internet back then...

                Not only would I have never had to steal porn from stores...

                but fuck...

                Whatever...we all know the education system sucks, and it's all the teacher's faults...

                not the fucking lazy-ass fucking parents...that just turn on a fucking TV and walk away because they don't have time for their fucking kids...

                ...that...and the lazy-ass fucking kids themselves...

                  Sure, these kids might not have a wide-ranging command of general information...but as long as they can text and are computer literate, they'll be alright. All that fancy-pants book learning never did nobody no good nohow.

                    4 reals.

                    I'll be turning 38 in a few months, and I have to say I really notice the generation gap. Kids (14-23) for the most part lack social skills. They just don't communicate face to face anymore. It's sad. I believe there's such a thing as too much info.. you just don't learn because you don't have to - just google that shit.

                      Just like in a recent computer website creation and management course I took - if you can't figure out the code - j ust google it - some techie has put together a website on it and you can just steal the code from them. What a joke. Weren't we supposed to really LEARN what we were doing?

                      Oh dear.

                        You've done made these kids all self-conscious regarding their apparent mental retardation, and the video is now private.

                          Well, the internets are a little different.. open source code and all, but I get what you're saying.. You should at least know what the fuck you're doing - that's where the problem solving comes into play - versus just copy & paste...

                            In the teacher's defense, he was not a teacher, he was an industry guy teaching for the first time. He thought he was going too slow and boring us when in fact he was leaving us in the dust. And I'm sure in the real world, that's what everybody does. But like scales in music, you have to learn the fundamentals.

                            Oh dear.

                              Yeah, the Roth Army made it private....

                              It was on the HuffPost....
