Oh come on.......

 

The reason the lower classes and uneducated get worked up is because they are "uneducated" and thus dont have the brains to work out fact from fiction. To much news of the world reading and not enough making up thier own minds.

 

Its a bit like a herd of sheep.....

 

So you are an ill informed stuck up t*sser.

I think it's been proven many times over on here that this was an urban myth ...

 

 

Not an urban myth.

You are confusing "uneducated" with "unintelligent".

 

Perhaps you should be asking why people buy newspapers which print sensationalist rubbish, or why newspapers print sensationalist rubbish, or even why sensationalist rubbish sells newspapers.

Is the USA no longer classed as developed any more?

 

That opens a whole new can of worms, but i'd have to say, I don't think any country that retains it is developed to the extent that i'd want to live there

I think its easy to make mistakes with Paedos.

 

At a BBQ last week, one of the guests was apparently a "Paedo", it actually turned out he was a Paediatritian, so easy mistake to make.

 

ALso, sometimes if you go your your local Swimming Baths with a pair of Speado Trunks on, you need to be careful. One poor bloke had a pair of SPeados on, unfortunatly the "S" in Speado had fell off and so his swimming trunks had the word "peado" on them

Another story today about a lynchmob attacking an innocent man based on rumour and ignorance.

I bet if this had happened in our area several people on this thread would be supporting the vigilantes!
