99%? Where did you get this stat from?



I believe only 1% of society has a post graduate degree.

After a quick wikipedia search, it looks like in 2013, 11.57% of people in the US over the age of 25 have a postgraduate degree or higher.

So they are more educated that 89% of the rest of the population.

I'd rather NDT just have his own talk show. I swear that guy could expound on shrubberies and make it sound interesting.

Yeah, the words "this week" should have been a dead giveaway. Its funny when people mock others intelligence, then reveal their own ignorance without even realizing it

You don't watch shows BUT you like pawn stars (which is a show), the voice (which is also a show) and educational stuff (I'm assuming you're watching educational shows)????? Am I missing something?

I watch the show and generally like it to a degree, but I'm probably one of the few who watch and see it for what it is -- a staged, scripted piece of brand propaganda. Anyone who thinks the Robertsons got into this solely because they wanted to tout their family values and evangelize their beliefs and way of live to others are dense as can be. Outside of the duck hunting community, not a whole heck of a lot of people knew about Duck Commander prior to the show. Now they're a national brand whose target demographic has broadened tremendously (sidenote, their duck calls aren't very good). You know how to spot a phony, bandwagon duck hunter who just got into the sport because he watches Duck Dynasty? Face paint and a DC duck call.

And don't get me wrong, they seem like good people, but I have no end of trouble understanding why their fans worship them like they do. I'd hazard a guess that 99% of people who have watched the show have never met them and/or don't know them or anyone associated with them personally, so why the campy fixation and cultish lauding of them as some "example" of how to live? I was taught how to live right, how to treat others, and how to generally be a decent person by those who raised me. If someone feels the need to take life cues from a scripted reality TV show, they've got some legitimate issues they need to sort out.


Tl;dr I like the show but don't understand the cult worship of the Robertsons

Eh, some of us were doing both of these things in 1993 when all we knew about DC was Phil and the boys blasting birds on VHS.

Let me guess you are a RNT world champion stutgart hunting greenhead killing machine?

ha, of course a $150 RNT sounds better than a $40 DC, but for the money the calls aren't that bad.

If you'r in your 20-30's and you didn't have a 6 in 1 DC whistle on your lanyard as the first call your dad gave you, then I don't trust you as a person.

I'm not saying your assessment doesn't exist, but I'm willing to bet you are the a-hole who skyblasted all our birds at Felsenthal in January.
