Not trying to be critical, but I have noticed something on this forum.
A lot of people here simply do not know how to write, punctuate, or use proper words in the context of a sentence. Demonstrable proof that they are just not that smart.
Coupled with the fact that they seem to enjoy insulting and calling one names. Which is also demonstrable of immaturity.
I come from a generation that calls like it is. No sugar coating. If it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, then it is a duck. Simple logic and reasoning, which is in short supply on this forum.
That said, just how in the hell did we get here?
Intentional, structured dumbing down. Proof is there and I will share it with the reader.
Charlotte Iserbyt was Reagans' Senior Education Advisor. She knows a lot about the subject.
She wrote the book, "Deliberate Dumbing Down of America", and "Soviets In The Classroom".

John Taylor Gatto was a 30 year educator from the state of New York. He wrote the book, "Dumbing Us Down".
If this is not enough information, then there is Yuri Bezmenov. A KGB defector in the 70's.
He gave a chilling interview in 1984, of all years. Ironic.
His full interview can be found in the Youtube video, linked below.

Why did I post all of this?
Because stupider is not a word in the English language, but dumber is.
Get butt hurt by this post? Not my problem and none of my business.
Enjoy!
Well, there was this one email from Bill Ivey to Podesta, the one where he wrote about how they've been conspiring to " demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry. The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking - and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging."

My English probably sucks because it's not my native tongue and the third language I learned. I think on an international forum it's really harsh to tell people they are probably dumb because they made some spelling mistakes?
Great reply. Easily read. You write very well.
That email leak validates what I have posted. Thank you.
Wife is from Thailand and is bi-lingual in four languages. Thai, Laos, French, and English. She can cuss me three different ways with a smile and I'd be thinking she was complimenting me.
She would do that every time I taped the black sink sprayer trigger down with black electrical tape and then point it forwards. Try that on your spouse for kicks. Gets them every time. But I digress from the subject matter.
Is there something specific about a black sink sprayer that I'm missing or do you really waterbomb your wife on a regular basis? LOL
Unfortunately my HB speaks five languages including the ones I've mostly mastered so that would be a losing battle for me ;) (German, Dutch, English and a petit peux de Francais for me, Hubby can do all of these fluently and rudimentary Spanish) .
I'm from the south of the Netherlands. We have a very distinct dialect and if I'm mad I glide right back into that. Does not work as intended because around the norht (edit: shit, typo: north) everyone thinks it's cute. ;)
USED to. She taught me a lesson, after the fifth time. She cut the sprinkler, then told me there was a water leak at the kitchen sink. GOT ME! Turned the supply stops off, replaced the hose and never, ever did it again.
