Anyone who tells me all Nazis are evil, I shall direct them to this video.

Oh, what's that? You mean that most Nazis are still plenty evil? It's rather true that the virtual totality of them are quite evil indeed? You mean to tell me that one isolated example cannot falsify a well-established generality? Sufferin' succotash!

OP must be from the South.

You are neither these people nor this forum. If you know you are right none of this should touch you or bring you down. You are responsible only for your own judgment. We were all created in the image of God and we are all the same pure souls before we were covered in shit.

Ok, let me guess... Arkansas, right?

The farther south you go the dumber they get. So you have North Carolina dumb, then Florida dumb, and then you go right off the chart to GA dumb.

My experience with southerners is that while they may lack formal education many of them make up for it in other areas. I have seen many people in the south that never completed high school. Those same people have very well run businesses and are still working today while the more educated depend on unemployment. An old saying in the south about others who look down on them and it is mostly true is that those people have book sense but no common sense. Meaning that those who look down on southerners can do something if they have instructions on how to do it, but when they have to think outside the box they can't .

Intelligence notwithstanding, southern states have--by far--the most attractive female undergraduates of any region in the country. As an added bonus, they're often very nice as well.

True, but they're dumb as a rock. I visited my friend at the University of Texas at Austin and the girls were easy. Tell them you're from New York and they open their legs (even though I'm originally from Texas). Anyway, I asked this one bright Texas gal what she wanted to do after graduation. She said her lifelong dream has been to work for SONY:hmm:

Wait, so what's the down side to that?

In a small southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me.

The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets.

Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You stupid Yankees never do read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible.

She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said "See, it says right here, the three wise man came from afar."

The 5 year old kid is obviously smart and has a bright future if his parents continue whatever they've been doing.

However......

Memorization and math does not make a person intelligent.

Intelligence is creation and understanding. Intelligence is being to mentally grasp the world around you and answer the "whys" not answering the "hows." Tell me why, that's what philosophers always have wanted to know, not "how." Some math whiz will always figure out the "how." The "why" is what's important.

Einstein was intelligent because he could hypothesize things he could not observe or demonstrate. It was not about just running numbers. He imagined it. He understood it.

Society and childhood experiences has led us to this false notion that just being an human calculator makes a person intelligent. It doesn't. Most of those "math genuises" I knew in HS didn't and won't amount to anything except maybe Google engineers, which is unimpressive to say the least.

You're such an enormously stupid douchebag.

Oh, and football is like a religion in Texas. Growing up there baseball was my thing. But I've never seen people worship a sport until I went to the UT Austin campus.
