Lets not turn this into a UK vs America thread again.
Can you look me in the eye and tell that my comment about there being a fuck load of stupid people in America is wrong?

And Asriel, I know what you said wasn't directed at me, but I agree with you completely, stupid people abound in this country.
Case in point: I took a biological anthropology class in college where we learned about the similarities between great apes/other primates and ourselves. We traced the evolutionary lineage from the last common ancestor of great apes to the earliest humans, and saw countless amounts of supporting physical evidence in books, videos, etc.
A few hours before the final exam, I was studying with a friend and some others from the class. I started discussing my awe in evolution with a young lady I was studying with. She said with utmost seriousness that she didn't believe a word of it (of what we had learned the ENTIRE SEMESTER), saying "I didn't come from no monkey, I came from God!"
My mind went numb.

It's all about the clinch. The clinch, I said.

Stupid people might be everywhere, but I'm gonna have to agree with asriel.
There are a fuckload of stupid people in America.
Thankfully there are less of them in New York.Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and ignorant;
they too have their story.
-excerpt of the poem called "Desiderata," by Max Ehrman, 1927.
