Anyone else notice anything funny about this list? Too bad you don't have to answer a couple basic math questions before voting.

Considering that the dumbest people in the state surely dont even vote, what would that have to do with anything?

I lived in Florida for 8 years and I can say they ranked it too high on this list.

And its a ranking of the public schools, not the actual intelligence of that states residents. A lot of people move after high school to other states. The list is worthless.

Calfornia is #43, and went for Kerry. So what exactly does this have to do with voting? Of course the #1 went to Kerry

where are the naked pictures?

#46 Louisiana


book learnin be bad! :glugglug

Indeed. And if he is making a case for Kerry losing the election notice the position of California.

:glugglug

yo yo wuzup mah nigga

same shit, different toilet! :thumbsup

33. Texas and West Virginia (tie)

thats wrong.
Texas should be dead last!

Stupid people vote in huge numbers, that's why Bush is President. There's almost no debating that, when 50% of his votes still think Saddam is behind 9/11.

lol, but look at California! That proves my point wrong I guess, well, on Fox anyway.

Do I really have to spell it out for you guys?

Sigh.

I think it was commissioned by a teacher's union. :2 cents:

A lot of the factors are about spending and a teacher's work environment...

I'd call it "smartest" if it was based more on test scores or accomplishments of people of all ages. :321GFY

lol, what are doing at the University of Florida, cleaning up toilets?

My point is that stupid people voted for George Bush. What's yours?

no your point is to bitch and moan more about bush winning the election like 75% of the rest of the posts on this board.

no good

Who's bitching and moaning? I've simply pointed out that the people who voted him in are stupid. Stop crying because I'm pointing out your ignorance, if it hurts that much just go turn on the TV and go back to the little dream version of reality where America is always right.

Bush winning is fine by me, a weaker America makes for a stronger Canada. It's America that's fucked. Not only is the American economy on the brink of collapsing, he's proven to the world that American military power isn't infinite. After he starts a couple more wars, your military will be thinned out and your economy will be extremely weak, and you'll have no allies left in the world. Meanwhile our economy is booming and we're building up our military, plus everyone loves us... I figure Canada can take over Alaska, and maybe pick off a couple northern states while we're at it. Hell, if Bush stays in power long enough, eventually you guys will be our 11th province.

Man I had no ideal that the cold had that kind of damage on the brain until I started to read your posts get some help while you can please.

smartest to dumbest ? on netscape / cnn news ? sounds odd ?

Nevada the 2nd dumbest ... wtf now ;)

I've lived in blue and red states. I think you calling a state red or blue just proves that you are a media puppet.

Absolutely no understanding of satire huh?

I'll help you: Satire (n) "Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity."

boo hoo :) every state has its uneducated fools, i bet they just surveyed certain sections:)

LOL i've lived in #23, #42, #44, and #47

Opps. No wonder everyone thought I was smart in those states!

FUCKING A MAN! TN #41.

My kids are in a public school, and although I don't always like the school, they do a great job teaching my children. They are both well ahead of where they should be when it comes to the "standardized testing". But then again, that's the problem with these rankings. Standardized testing botches the averages every time.

I don't know who else is with me on this one, but in my opinion Standardized Tests should be done away with as they are now.

:2 cents:

im beginning to think this rich guy is a prick, or likes to argue

lol that's true, unfortunately that's how you have to talk to most Americans about politics. Also, it was a joke, and, a good one at that.

I'm beginning to cry over it, your opinion means the world to me.

whatever dude no reason to act like a asshole youll get further in life if you dont

Gee its worst that I had believed. Now you don't even
understand that I want to help you. Do you have a number of a grown up that takes care of you so I can call them to help you?

Anyone who thinks that hasn't gotten very far in life. You have to act like an asshole to people who deserve it.

ok

Born, Raised, and Educated in Massachusetts. Took that #1 placement and parlay'd by moving to a dumb state (Florida #39), where there was little or no competition.

Why deal with a state full of smart people when you can do deal with a state full or morons?

Unfortunately, too many people understand the same thing, thus the state is getting flooded with vultures.
