Are you ever SHOCKED by how butt-ignorant *SOME* young people are?

I asked a coworker if she had any index cards.  She asked me what an index card was.   

My kids didnt know how to address an envelope.  That was my fault, I always addressed the envelopes when they would write thank you notes.  It has since been rectified.

I've mentioned this before. Twice now I've had recent high school graduates ask me what time that clock on the wall says. They couldn't tell because it wasn't digital.

Good grief.

Whatever you do, don't ask them to explain "Clockwise" vs. "Counter-Clockwise" to you.

Holy crap.

Someone made fun of me a few days ago for wearing a watch.  They told me that watches don't have a purpose anymore since you can check the time on a cell phone.

At the Vets office last year part of the check in procedure is to weigh the dog, well my dog does not like the feel and movement of the Stainless Steel scale/platform.  I asked if I could pick him up and get on the scale with him and the vet tech said she just needed the dogs weight .

I then asked her to humor me.  She weighed the both of us and then I put the dog down and asked her to weigh just me and told her to subtract the two weights to figure out the dogs weight.  I literally laughed out loud when she pulled up the calculator and punched in the numbers and proudly proclaimed "see that did not work I ended up with a negative number". By the way my dog weighed in at 95lbs!

Should have asked her if there was a "TARE" button on the scale. You step on, hit the button to zero it out, then pick up the dog.

I just weighed our dog the same way here at home today.  She weighs about 40 pounds, time for a diet since that is heavy for a Beagle.

As my vet would say, 'you rasing a coffee table?"  Yeah, that is heavy for a beagle.  I have finally trained my girl to go directly to the scale when we go to the vet.  She hops on and sits just as pretty as a picture.

Good idea although I am considering myself lucky that she knew what a negative number was.  The aha moment on her face when she finally did figure it out was priceless though.

Tara doesn't mind the moving table, she'll ride it from the floor up to exam level.  She's not a problem for the vet or assistants other than jumping up and trying to lick their faces.  She's a very friendly Beagle.

I'm shocked at how willfully ignorant the DUmmies are every time I read the DUmpster. If young people are ignorant it is, no doubt, because they are being educated by DUmmies.

[ADsOutburst]

Besides, the left owns the NEA, they can't admit that they are deliberately raising up kids that don't know history, civics, math, science...and can't read.   

This is the same group that complains constantly about not getting their message across. They completely ignore their own culpability.

DUmmies are the type of people who shit in the corner then dare to complain that the room stinks.

Um, for some of us he was called 'current events'. 

Liberals would love to ignore Landslide Lyndon and do so at every turn.  Not me, "Hey, Hey, LBJ.  How many kids did you kill today??"

My story of the day is asking a cashier if they knew who's images were on the change they were giving me.  I had given them three Lincolns for a bill of $14.94 so I said, you know the penny and nickle?  I guess that I could figure the change before it popped up on the display rattled the poor thing who guessed, "Washigton and Kennedy"? 

I am no longer shocked.  Saddened, but not shocked. 

I once tried to "help" a young cashier by giving her a $20 BILL and a DIME for a charge of $19.10, poor thing was so confused I took the dime back.

Where is all that "education" money going ?

It's going towards making more voters for the democrats.

Does anyone else see the irony with a DUmmie talking about how butt-ignorant some people are?

Yeah. 

Ignorant?  Yes.

Butt-ignorant?  Doubtful.

I'll be the one here to ban words, thank you very much. Libs cannot be trusted with censorship.

Whaaaaa?  Who puts on a play about Lyndon Johnson?

Apparently these people do.

The third worst president in modern times, in my opinion, even worse than Carter, but not as bad as FDR or Obama.
