23% Of America Is Illiterate
Following on the heels of the dumbing down of the State of the Union speech we noted yesterday, we thought a simple visualization of just how stunningly poor our nation's reading skills really are would be useful. One in five Americans lacks the basic reading skills beyond a 4th grade level - are you one of them?More
Is it really surprising that we have so many illiterate people? After all, we are constantly being told that there are too many illegitimate children out there with single parent while at the same time listening to the preaching about how illegal immigrants aren't illegal. Maybe we simply have too many undocumented kids.
Yes, and there seem to be a greater than average number of them on the eastern shore. But far more annoying are the blog commenters who think they are geniuses. ;)
Another mental midget who attempts to insult someone but ends up looking the fool.
Why your type insists on insulting people who have a different opinion is not very smart. Especially when you show your own ignorance.
You will ALWAYS find some people who have a different opinion than your own. That is a given. Trying to change that is useless and in your case, makes you look stupid.
You can disagree and still be polite and nice at the same time. Honest. I've seen it happen and I try to always do it myself.

Because the party they voted for let them. Duh.
There are some dumb people on here too but at least they can read I guess. Or someone reads it to them and they type what they respond with.
It didn't matter who ANYBODY voted for, the computer program they had inserted into the voting machines automatically sent the votes to Obama.

You are absolutely correct.
They make those of us who really do know everything, look bad. ;)

23% is a conservative estimate at best.
1:29, how do you know? And by the way, it's "you're," not "your.". But thanks for making my point for me.

Would you mind explaining why you would say something as off the wall as that?
Or were you the commenter and felt the need to avenge your rag tag nonsense?
Isn't it past your bedtime anyway?
