[quote:phizzycyst:MV8xMTc2OTY4XzE5MDUyMTE5XzU0RjY1MkJB] [quote:Rhodes] Guys seriously sort out your education system I am losing sleep over how crap it is. Stupidity is the biggest threat to mankind. Take a Xanax and get a hobby, losing sleep?! Really? Well not really losing sleep haha, but it is extremely shocking to me how many people are that extremely scientifically illiterate. Like they are living in a complete dream world and don't understand how everything around them works, while at the same time it being the most powerful country at the planet. Does that not frighten you? [/quote] I wouldn't say if frightens me...and it doesn't shock me. I guess it's a little sad, but with science competing with Paris Hilton, Linsey Lohan, and all the other fascinating media stories out there...what else can we expect? Science just ain't some folks' bag I guess? [/quote]

"Everyone year 50% of Americans get the answer wrong to does the earth orbit the sun and does it take a year."
"Over 90% of middle-school science teachers haven't taken a science course beyond high-school."
"60% of US adults stated their belief that God created humans in their present form less than 10,000 years ago."(April 2007)
"53% of American adults are unaware that the last Dinosaur died before the first human arose. "
These statistics are extremely scary and disgusting to me. I can safely say that people saying that most Americans are retarded is not an ignorant generalisation.
People should watch more of Lawrence Krauss.
