25% of Americans are idiots

[theboss21422]

I'm thinking you not understanding my point, but back in 1400s it was popular belief that the world was flat and anyone who thought differently was an "idiot" now popluar belief is that the Earth revolves around sun ijs as we advance in our time on Earth and try to understand our existence some will not know the popluar answer to certain questions but I wouldn't classify them as idiots, not everyone is up to speed of what's being said of our surroundings ijs

Itll always be theory, maybe in 400 more year's there will be a theory proving this subject wrong, to be honest we are just trusting what someone else told/taught us who knows what agenda another person has

NO. It is not a theory. It is a law of science.

Keplers law of planetary motion is the specific name of it.

Lust, you always seem to jump at the chance to spout your Ahtiest views. I was not setting up a revival tent, God forbid...oh crap, there I go again.

My point was that the climate has been changing as long as man can determine, be it due to a supreme creator, natural evolution, or anal twinge. Man can not change it.

My theory is that the Earth revolves around Sex.

The same idiots believe Jerry Jones every year.

U are totally wrong. % is much higher than 25%

[Chung Tran]

I got all 9 questions right (in the link)... but 2 of my answers were semi-guesses

Yeah, how about the ones who wouldn't use a gun to defend their life
if it was grasped in their hand.

Of course the climate has been changing since the beginning of the planet. Nobody is arguing that. When you say "man can not change it", that is idiotic. Man can contribute to all of the things that affect climate change. We're adding a shitload of CO2 to the atmosphere. At the same time we're reducing prime forests that reduce CO2. 1+1=2. We KNOW we're contributing to climate change, we just don't know (yet) how much we're influencing it.

WTF does this mean?

[threepeckeredbillygoat]

Prime example, idiots will believe anything you tell them.

Well "can't" may be an absolute term for our ability to change it. We could revert to hunting and gathering with clubs and on foot. But the possibility of that translates into "can't".

Sometimes, we have to accept where we are and look for replacement technology instead of spending so much time and money stopping what has become a necessity.

Back on track. I think the OP was talking about the percentage of idiots and not trying to identify any individuals. 25% seems low considering two generations of a dumbed-down education system.

I'm very certain the number is closer to 95%
