Poll: Americans know more about The Simpsons than the US Constitution

Jamuhn, I gotta say I love the bush icon of yours, it's totally up my valley!



I'm gonna free the crap out of you! Oh man.

I can't get passed comments by God Emperor Zeonix, that only stupid people with nothing better to do take polls.

"Yes, a spoiled population. Or the morons responded to the poll and everyone else remained unaware of this oh so important poll."

Yea, right, like Jay Leno and "street smarts" don't do it justice.

Dude, I live in LA, the undisputed capital of industrialised, commercialised idiocy, worlds belly button of BS, I used to work for Fox mind you, and as a nation in general we're doing the impossible by getting even dummer all while retaining the ability to text message, gossip and shop. Whom are you kidding.

Derek Trance, please explain to me how free you feel when all bars close at 2:00Am, when you're druk and looking forward to a cop shining a flash light in your eyes after he pulls your drunk a$$ over?

News flash, a new law in Callabasses prohibits smoking anywhere in the "snob" city, and it's allowed only in the so called "allocated smoking areas". What backwards fascist freedoms we're forced to enjoy.

About the cops, how about that stellar example of law which shot a USAF Iraq active duty three times execution style after ordering him to get up? U kidding me?

HAHAHA! Lookey here;

"This is not a conspiracy. It's reality. You could go to any friggin' country in the world and ask the same type of questions with the same results. Some people do not care while others do. That my friends is called reality. Check check... Reality check"

LostSailor, here's the reality check, it's called lack of basic friggin education, and if you have actually went to other countries, and not watched them on TV, you wouldn be a "Lost Sailor", and had a clear "bearing" on the reality in question.

The overwhelming majority of US history tough in schools is complete fabrication and fallacy. I'm not going to go into details, but the cherry tree and so on simply didn't frigging happen, and since we're talking about Simpsons here, the episode on how Springfield was originated and the "silver tongue" etc. covered it all, since apparently Simpsons is a more effective way of reaching rotted American brains then education.

ferretman2 is right on PC extremism, which in reality is a tool of historical revisionism, hiding under the premise of law suits and insurance policies for them. Believe me, I know, don't ask.

"Well it's obvious that the constitution needs to be rewritten as a cartoon. (maybe a musical?)"

Also been done in Simpsons, depicting a dancing bill of rights that was trampled upon the lobbiests etc.

HA HA, we're all going insane and like it. I'm moving out. No kidding, I had it. For me it's not "serenity now", it's "sanity now, dammit, or I quit!".

You're right. When I visit other countries I just spend my time in the brothels, strip clubs, and shady back street bars.

Would you believe me if I said I don't even own a T.V.?

A-ha.

"When the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

You sad it bud, not me, but I will add.

Most bother them selves by the choice between getting hammered or getting nailed, while I my self will never place a lady in the position of choosing one of the two, I take it upon my self in providing both.

Cheers.

Knowing the bill of rights is important but how about knowing how the world works and who is running it too?

Start doing your research on the Rothschilds and Rockefellers if you really want to know something useful in life.

I'm sorry, but when I read this I just died laughing.

Ain't it the truth?

Maybe Americans know more about the Simpsons than the Constitution because the Simpsons have a place in American life, while each day the Constitution becomes less relevant.

I guess that's not much cause for laughter.

simple answer to this one sad answer but true the simpsons is a weekday cartton show shown almost every day not like theres a sic com <---however you spell it about the constitution....sad but true only time i watch tv is if my in laws are over and watching a movie i get my news mostly from 1.ats <--yes its true 2. yahoo 3.cnn.com sad but true

I think this kind of ignorance is disgusting. I've seen the same sort of thing on Leno from time to time. Talk about embarrassing!

We've got to have some of the dumbest people on the planet right here in the US.

Because... We all know there are no dumb people anywhere else right? What do you think Leno's editors do to the people that answer questions correctly?

Hmmmmmmm....

That wasn't funny... OK, edit that smart ass out. Lets find some more ditzy blondes.

This is kind of disturbing if you study the law in any way in the US. Of all basic knowledge of the US our citizens should have, it is the Bill of Rights. Its the basis for our way of life and foundation of our freedom. Theres not much I can say about how I feel about whats happening, other than its sad, but I believe it, the way our society is today.

LostSailor:

I've read some of your other posts in other forums here and I've noticed you have a problem with being rude to people. I don't appreciate it and I'm sure your other "victims" didn't either.

Let's stick to the subject.

I didn't realize I was being "rude." I won't deny for one second that I am blunt though. I guess there may be a few overly sensitive people that might take offense to my posts. However, in my defense, on this thread I was the original "victim." My credibility as an actual merchant mariner was attacked.



Going to be blunt here. But I think you strayed from the subject first.

Oh yeah, I also use sarcasm quite a bit. My bad.
