30% of Republicans and 19% of Democrats want to bomb Agrabah

War is God's way of teaching Americans geography.

God may be trying to teach, but most Americans aren't learning.

One of the most disheartening things about this country is how little we know about the rest of the world.

From a National Geographic Survey of American 18-24 years old:

• Half could not find New York State on a map of the United States
• A third of the respondents could not find Louisiana, and 48 percent couldn't locate Mississippi on a map of the United States, even though Hurricane Katrina put these southeastern states in the spotlight in 2005.
• Many young Americans also lack basic map-reading skills.
• Told they could escape an approaching hurricane by evacuating to the northwest, only two-thirds could indicate which way northwest is on a map.
• Fewer than three in ten think it's absolutely necessary to know where countries in the news are located.
• Only 14 percent believe speaking another language fluently is a necessary skill.
• Fewer than one in five young Americans own a world map.
• Three in ten respondents put the U.S. population between one and two billion (it's just under 300 million, according the U.S. Census Bureau). Seventy-four percent said English is the most commonly spoken native language in the world (it's Mandarin Chinese).
• Although 73 percent knew the U.S. is the world's largest consumer of oil, nearly as many (71 percent) did not know that the U.S. is also the world's largest exporter of goods and services, when measured in terms of monetary value; half think it's China.
• Half could not find New York State on a map of the United States.
• Told they could escape an approaching hurricane by evacuating to the northwest, only two-thirds could indicate which way northwest is on a map.

These Hillary Supporters Want Her to Repeal the Bill of Rights if She's Elected President

Cherry-picking anecdotal examples of people saying stupid things in an interview is not the same thing as nearly a 1/3rd of Republicans endorsing bombing a fictional country that sounds Middle Eastern. One is doing a Jay-walking bit with a political focus; the other is saying something about the attitudes of a major voting demographic. It's born of the same phenomenon - people's spectacular ignorance - but the fact that you can't see the difference doesn't speak with well of your deep studying, kangaroo analogizing ways.

Actually you're stupid as usual.....

In the CONTEXT of the question, being at war with some Arabs, and being asked about bombing an arab sounding named city, it's perfectly reasonable for some to simply "assume" people are being asked about that subject.

Further, you ignore the fact that 19% of Dem's also said to bomb it, which is ONLY a 11% difference between the two.
That's not really statistically relevant for an entirely random and limited poll.
You also ignore the fact that 57% of GOP said "not sure" and 13% said outright NO.

In contrast.... you have someone just asking random Hilary supporters to support suspending the Bill of Rights, which is absolutely direct and clear information (in contrast to the vauge context with the above question), and yet you have Hilary supporters willingly supporting it. Not only that, but he does many similar videos which show's how stupid many people and especially liberals are.

So, what you people do is FAR worse.... more so, you do it much more on on MANY issues.

Further, even if you don't accept that, the bottom line is actually what you actually said, such "gotcha" things are not necessarily representative of the group think in question. Of course, it IS FAR MORE with the left, because it's clear what's being asked.

Add this totally grown up, factually specific contribution to the childish name-calling and faqs' contribution is complete.

We need kangaroos.

And Blixa is a liar as usual, only seeing what you all want to see.

I NEVER said I "don't" name call.... I said I ONLY DO IT when also giving information, responding, having a discussion, etc. (99.9% of the time anyway).
In contrast, like you just did.... Some 95% of the time, that's ALL you people do is personally attack, WITHOUT ANY SUBSTANCE involved. Where is your "discussion" or information related to the thread or responses thereto? You stated ZERO. Me however, I address substance, even though I'm also critical. Further, I've NEVER "name called" first. You people personally attack me, and so I call you what you are.

So, when are you people going to stop lying?

So, when are you people going to stop lying?

maybe as soon as you stop with the ridiculous rationalizations trying to justify why you do what you do.

[_Lemmie]

When you-know-who says ridiculous crap like this

Me however, I address substance

Then I am eternally grateful MissTish has provided this:

I am not a liar.

But you have proven yourself to be so over and over and over. And when called on it, you have some excuse that what you did wasn't lying or plagiarism or whatever for some convoluted reason.

This is why you never get anyone to respond to what you say. Because we all know what the result will be. You will yell "lying liberal anti-mormon etc." Maybe that will be accompanied with some bragging about expertise or abilities which every post of yours contradicts, or else some self-pitying anecdotes where you unwittingly reveal too much in real life information about yourself and others. But that's it. That's all that anyone can expect.

Here's the thing. This monolithic "evil other" which exits in your brain does not exist in reality. Further, it sure doesn't fit the people your throw it at here, people who hold a variety of different political and religious beliefs. If you ever took the trouble to read anything by anyone here---and apparently you've got the time to sit all day and read through the MDB archives---then you'd have an idea who you are addressing.

And you might have more respect.

And in turn you might get more respect.
