25. Idiocracy is America's future

I am just glad I will be dead once it becomes the norm.


Without a major change in America’s direction Idiocracy is the future.

[Skittles]

[Orrex]

11. For many gun owners, I suspect it's impossible to shoot one round accurately in 30 seconds

14. As Colonel Potter said...

...I couldn't hit a bullet with the side of a barn.

[bigapple1963]

30. I think

if you aim before shooting, you could probably hit the first round accurately.

[JaneyVee]

12. Seriously, who cares about stray bullets, they're harmless, amirite?

[Scuba]

26. Another great reason to ban high-capacity mags. Thank you!!!

[bigapple1963]

31. not really

a gun-owner could choose to shoot each round in single bursts.

6. As posts. Fenceposts. Sometimes, though, internet message board posts.

15. Heck, think of how...

...much we've been dumbed down just in the last 30-40 years. I think it's time we started smarting up! I dream of an America where young people are required to graduate from college, no ifs, ands or buts. Government pays, if they keep their grades up. If their grades go down below 'C' GPA, their parents have to cough up the cost. Thanks kpete for the cartoon.

18. As a college student, I like the way you think.

Of course, there's a fat chance of that happening anytime soon, because...you know...government-funded college is considered "socialism". Americans can't have free education or free health care, even though those are some of life's necessities.

[ReRe]

20. Well Darlin'...

...I'll keep hollering for it to happen as long as I live. And you stand up for it as long as you live too, you hear? This run-away-vulture-dog-eat-dog capitalism looks like a big fat failure, if you ask me. Maybe it's time we DID try something else? I've been sitting here tonight watching Michael Moore's Capitalism, A Love Story on Current TV. Have you ever noticed how they never define socialism? It's the same thing they did starting about a century ago with the word "Communism", or more recently with the word "Liberal". They throw words out and make everyone afraid of them. A large portion of the society/electorate don't know what those words mean, so they believe if they hear the God-fearing-Christian Republicans say it's bad, then it must be bad. If you hear someone denigrate "socialsim"...ask them what it means. Watch their eyes glaze over and cross. Socialism is NOT Communism. Socialism is a counrty by, for and of We the People! We must reform Capitalism, if we are to keep it at all. After all, the word capitalism isn't in the Constitution! Keep your grades up, and good luck!

21. They would have had a hard time collecting from my parents

By the time I was of age to graduate from college both my parents were dead and my younger brother had not yet graduated from HS.

I read so many "solutions" on DU that simply don't account at all for any life that's even slightly out of the ordinary.

[ReRe]

24. Of course a solution would be available to...

....students in your vulnerable situation. Extenuating circumstances would be taken into account. Besides, Fumesucker, you would make above a 'C' average.

17. I don't even want to think about it.

Our whole society is really dumbed down these days. That is what happens when any society destroys its public school system.

[defacto7]

19. I agree...

Unfortunately, I don't think it's a matter of a short term change. The damage that's been done in the last couple of generations will probably take twice as long just to get back to a point of progress. The loss of a generation of minds is easier to wreck than it is to build.

22. Archived WWF programming will be regarded the same way that we view Greek tragedies.

Oh wait, it's WWE now.

23. I can't help but to think, if humans are so smart, then why do we have war? nt

[Demo_Chris]

27. Is the "smart" generation the one that passed NAFTA, destroying our jobs, unions, and future?
