US adults are dumber than the average human

It’s long been known that America’s school kids haven’t measured well compared with international peers. Now, there’s a new twist: Adults don’t either.

In math, reading and problem-solving using technology – all skills considered critical for global competitiveness and economic strength – American adults scored below the international average on a global test, according to results released Tuesday.
…
Not only did Americans score poorly compared to many international competitors, the findings reinforced just how large the gap is between the nation’s high- and low-skilled workers and how hard it is to move ahead when your parents haven’t.

In both reading and math, for example, those with college-educated parents did better than those whose parents did not complete high school.

America’s exceptionalism is gone. We used to work hard for what we had. Now we are waiting for the government to give us what we need. This is our reward.

Americans are pretty ignorant. The election of Barack Hussein Obama twice is exhibit A.

I hate to say it, but where was the education level of his core voters?

Yes, Matthew. You're smarter than the average goat-fucking, wife-beating raghead.

Happy now?

You gotta wonder where all the other countries with huge immigrant populations from third world countries rank?
And of course you have to take into account whos running our education system.

When we pay and feed a population to stay at home rather than work we are enabling a country to lower it's standards. We are enabling kids to have babies, leave school and wait for the government to take care of them.

Then their children learn what they live. Just what in the hell did we expect? Are the Democrats getting it yet?

We need a decade of tough love. Two years of welfare to get your act together. Once that is what is expected the baby farms will stop and kids just may stay in school knowing that is the only way they will survive in life is to get a job and pay THEIR OWN WAY.

You might be a dumber than average human if:

1. You believe that Saddam Hussein didn't have WMDs.
2. You believe that Bush wrecked our economy.
3. You get your political and social opinions from comedians.
4. You use the label "Teabaggers" when not referring to sex.
5. You think that smart = honest.
6. Your screen name is either rdean or luddly neddite.

Ignorant populace is a goal of the left. It is impossible to manipulate smart and knlwledgeable people, but the dumb sheeple will swallow any lie the left feeds them.
Our leftards here , on the board, are a perfect example - only selected few THINK and not just parrot the talking points.

This is not surprising.

When the focus turns inward on self-satisfaction, the drive and desire to do better, and provide solutions to the world decreases.

I would just like to point out there have been 27 seasons of Survivor so far.

If that is not an indication of Americans willfully retarding themselves through their own free will, nothing is.

Don't be blaming the government. We are demanding to be dumbed down.

Pay attention to the next set of movie previews you see and count the number of explosions and loud noises. Look how many are based on COMIC BOOKS and VIDEO GAMES.
