Ignorance Index Reveals Most Uninformed Nations


A new poll reveals which nationalities are the most clueless about what is happening on their own doorstep.

(Thanks to the TeaBaggers and FoxSnooze no doubt,) the USA finished 13th out of 14 countries.  Only
Italy was worse.

philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

A survey by who created by who based on what?
"Researchers found that on average, Americans surveyed think 24% of US girls aged 15-19 give birth to babies every year, whereas the correct figure is 3%"
Now that is a valid question to rate people on???? and asked of what cross section of people that the results are what is shown???
Very difficult to hold credible such a survey/report, sorry!

Any poll can be swayed based on:
what questions are asked
how the questions are worded
what demographics are polled
how they are polled
even when they are polled

Heck I could run a poll that results would show DVOR would win the race for Governor!

The polls said the Reps would take the Senate and make big gains in the house...
They were correct!

Wow...In a two party dominated system, it's a 50/50 chance.  Great job pollsters!!!  They didn't predict Illinois governor race or the Virginia senate race being a virtual tie, or the Kansas senate race.  I wonder if they predicted the voter turnout would be the lowest in 70 years?

HOW VOTER SUPPRESSION HELPED PRODUCE
THE LOWEST TURNOUT IN DECADES

On Tuesday, older, white voters —(FoxSnooze Voters) - who traditionally support Republicans —
went to the polls in droves, while turnout among traditionally Democratic groups — the young, the
minoritized, and women — was down.

Great!  It was done democratically!  Everything done democratically is good!  People can vote next year or maybe file a petition to contest it.  They just need to try harder.  Nobody said democracy was easy!

Geez...Barack knows about voter ID laws.  Hawaii's had them on the books since 1978.


Hawaii

§11-136

Poll workers request photo ID with a signature. Acceptable types of ID are not specified by law.

If the voter has no identification, the voter will be asked to recite his/her date of birth and residence address to corroborate the information provided in the poll book

pretty much.....it's called "as long as your brothers/sisters in the trench of life feel good and don't look like they have more than
you" then one is blissfully ignorant and part of mass think.... thanks to public unions/public education/fear factor......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Oh. My. God. Boxy. Thank you very much for putting this up!

If only it was for the reasons that you lay out. I find it hysterical that you still use the same tired memes (Fox Snooze, old white men, TeaBaggers) and now how Americans are ignorant, stupid and clueless ever since the 'Red Wedding of 2014'....Oh and more good news from that! Looks like 2 more senate seats for the GOP! The Dems pulled out of La. leaving Landrieu out to hang and Sullivan is going to win Alaska. That makes 10 seats lost.

It's unfortunate for Boxy that it is he who is uninformed. That it isn't Fox Snooze or TeaBaggers, but the very people that he supports without question are the ones lying. Relying on the "stupidity of the American voter".

I give you Jonathan Gruber, professor at MIT and one of the architects of Obamacare. (Boxy thinks Obamacare is great!).

Obamacare is a lie.
