The sad truth is we've become a nation of morons. Has anyone seen the street interviews with Jay Leno asking people very basic questions? What is the capitol of France? Where is South America? Etc. It's very sad, and embarrassing really.

lolz threds like these alwys crack me up .. almost to much

And when Magician corrects me on grammar, im taking notes from here out!
