thought I'm actually sure it's just as bad here, if not worse

average human being = moron

a quote: More than 60 thought the Battle of Helms Deep in the Lord of the Rings trilogy actually took place.

Battlestar Galactica , the defeat of humanity by cyborgs - 1 per cent

Winston Churchill - 9 per cent

in britain no less

oh well, you get more or less the same reaction when you go out on the streets and ask a 22 year old who the vice president of the united states is...

well rethinking schooling of history isn't going to matter since if people don't want to learn about history, then they wont give a damn in class.

but these people are 'tards

'"absurd and depressing" areas of ignorance'
I've got to remember that

I have a strong feeling that some people were taking the piss here.

I know I would if someone asked me some of that ****.

11 percent believed Hitler didn't exist?
33 percent for Mussollini and 9 percent for Winston Churchill?

*impressed whistle*

wow, these people are very diligent about their ignorance. Hmm, I probably shouldn't use such long words..

wow, these guys are really great at being..uh..stupid.

*counts*

stu-pid

Hmm, 2 syllables, its kind of iffy...maybe its a bit much.

"The film U-571, starring Harvey Keitel and Jon Bon Jovi, sparked fury in Britain four years ago when it told how American servicemen altered the course of the Second World War by capturing the Enigma code machine from a German U-boat. In fact, it was British and Canadian sailors who captured the machine in May 1941, before the US had entered the war."
Things like that piss me off more. Granted, it was a decent movie, the fact that they try to pass it off as history greatly annoys me...

Thorn: that annoys me to

Bobboau · **Reply #8 on:** April 06, 2004, 12:03:14 am

You left our child behind!

Rictor · **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2004, 12:26:00 am

For shame. Our children isn't learning!

Kazan · **Reply #11 on:** April 06, 2004, 12:27:23 am

"We must ask is our children learning?"

me thinks that poll may not be entirely accurate. did they just go up to someone on the street and ask them "did the battle of helms deep really take place?"? if the person doesn't know what the battle of helms deep was, he mind think it was some historical battle and say yes. not everyone is a lotr fan.

phreak · **Reply #13 on:** April 06, 2004, 12:44:27 am

well technically it did take place. if i recall it took place in New Zealand. And i'd like to take this time to thank the people of NZ for no apparent reason.

Kazan · **Reply #14 on:** April 06, 2004, 12:47:32 am

phreak: no it was all CG
