How is that questioning someone's intellect. I said the action is dumb. Never said the person is dumb. You are jumping to conclusions about me just like you are the people in the poll.



Gotcha. Troll it is.

Roman numerals are a bitch to multiply with.

Stupidity/Ignorance can apply to both sides of the political spectrum. Especially when people only see buzz words. Here's another poll by the same person.



This poll says that only 20% of people think the Big Bang should be taught in schools.

I would bet more people know what Arabic numerals are than who first theorized an expanding universe, but it's still funny.

In all fairness, there really is no need for kids to learn about it now that the show has ended,

I'd bet most of the people calling the people dumb did not know what Arabic numbers were before reading this story and would have also been fooled by the poll.

Don't know what that has to do with anything. Our society has borrowed heavily from them, we are writing with the Roman alphabet. Anyway, I'd wager the Romans pale in comparison to some Eastern empire in this especially any random Chinese dynasty. Rivers flowed red during the Qin.

Yeah but this one won't get passed around news channels and the internet because it goofs on the left side of the political spectrum.

Still we should rename them to something a little less terroristy.

I wasn't talking about you. You've made it very clear over the last 5 pages that you know what it means and how you feel about everyone else.

You act like I've just been responding to myself over and over and not responding and clarifying my stance to a guy who kept mischaracterizing it.
