Seven hours ago, I shared a photo a friend had posted citing a survey which indicated a lamentable lack of both tolerance and vocabulary in the US population. There was no reference given nor details to lend credibility to the statement in the photo. I commented:.................................................................................................. .....and yet we have cut education budgets nationwide, while patting ourselves on the backs as a tolerant, free, egalitarian paradigm for the rest of the world; SMH. .........................................................................................................................................It was irresponsible of me to re-post the photo. Below are the comments I received, which I appreciate very much for reminding me to practice what I preach and vet sources before sharing. The statistic could be true of the general population as it implies, or just 5 patrons at a bar, or made up as the person was creating it, and I have no way of knowing. I apologize for wasting some good people’s time and inconveniencing many millions of electrons needlessly. Not wishing to delete others’ insightful comments along with the photo, I post them here: • J.d. Gutierrez Maybe he should carry a Mars I.d. card! 7 hours ago • Like • Jim McKechnie These are the same people that Jesse Watters and Jimmy Kimmel find on the street to interview for their intelligence and knowledge of current events. It reminds me of the time back around 1970 when a man was being interviewed and asked what he thought of our Cambodian position. He said, I like it fine, but it hurts my wifes knees! Hmmmmm. You cant fix stupid! 5 hours ago • Unlike • 1 • Martin Giles tolerant, free, egalitarian paradigm for the rest of the world Hmmm. Its an interesting perspective! 4 hours ago • Unlike • 1 • Geri Kail What if they learned that their daughter was a thespian? 3 hours ago • Unlike • 3 • Cynthia Carle What survey? By whom? When? This sounds like its from an outrage generator site. 53 minutes ago • Unlike • 1 Again, I apologize for my haste.
