Adam Ruins Everything

Citing CNN to say that 1/3 of cowboys are Hispanic and 1/4 are African American means less the 20% of all cowboys in the Western US were white.

Gun control was prevalent in the Wild West and the rules were stronger than today according to a 2011 LA Times Aricle.

Women were the real creators of the Wild West towns and they controlled all towns.

I hate shows like this which push BS propaganda to our youth because it dumbs them down.

1/3 + 1/4 does not equal 80%. It equals 7/12. Meaning 5/12 were white according to CNN. Still very wrong, but use proper math

He is such a douche. Making propaganda look like research is such a reach.

I liked Penn and Teller's bullshite! a lot more. Their episodes on things like lie detector tests, cryptozoology, and martial arts so completely destroyed that stuff.

Adam Ruins Everything does a great job of citing where they get their info so you can look it up and give whatever weight you feel is appropriate, but they are definitely more politically motivated, and the host just sounds so fricking whiny.

You must be naive. That dude is a first class propagandist. Almost everything he says gets debunked.

Why can't people just be stupid, f'up, irrational, wrong, by their inate their nature?

Why hold the schools responsible for individual behavior without additional information? Schools can't force someone to learn, teach someone to think or uplift the cognitively deficient.

I have seen two episodes.

1). To cure the homelessness problem we should buy the homeless homes

2). Airbnb is evil and causing housing issues for the middle class and poor and something should be done.

About as opposite of libertarian as you can get

No doubt, many are. But the indoctrination centers that pass for schools nowadays is not helping matters

Adam. Isn’t naming your kid after the guy who got all of humanity kicked out of the garden of eden sort of like naming your kid Hitler?

Yeah, Adam is definitely a Progressive Pop Culture guy and not a fact guy. It’s a shame because it’s a decent premise.
