Idiotic statement of the day...

A person actually said this, and wasn't joking...

"All of our troops are overseas fighting a fucking pointless war, meanwhile the Russians are attacking one of our states, and we're not doing anything about it"

I laughed so hard I almost cried. And then I almost cried again at the stupidity of it.

That is a classic. Please take whoever said that outside and beat them with an atlas.

There's been a couple of those floating around since the fight began. Agree it's hilarious and very very sad.

I explained about "Georgia" to my 10 year old grandson when they were covering the invasion by Russia on the news. Was this person 10 years old or what.

They saw it on Fox News, so they just assumed it was correct.

Another fine product of our modern public school system, which is more concerned with brainwashing and social engineering than teaching anything worthwhile.

I couldn't say about Toledo schools except what I have heard and read, here in Michigan back when I went to school it seemed they teach what ever was in the book plus the teachers own personal experience on any subject. Of course that was back in 80 - 84, From all that I have heard today is they teach kids to pass the state tests, and not much more.
