Reply #114: Ah, yes - the "ignorance is bliss" , "Tell me what to think" crowd... [View All]

It's a way of life in the area I live. They even call themselves "red-necks" and talk about Republican issues from the 1980's as if they were still relevant! The "ignorance" is actually a highly desired state of consciousness and is a good way of being popular with the woman who like their "simple men". If you go to school and actually enjoy talking about what you learned you will be shunned - unless you can make it to the favored Republican "employer" status. Once you are the business employer, then they are busy kissing your ass for monetary consideration. If you don't believe me, I'll give you the addresses of several establishments in this area where you can listen to the local people openly "bragging" about their "red-neck" lifestyle - and EVERY LAST ONE OF 'EM IS A REPUBLICAN!! There are Dems but they sit quietly and we know who we are - we just roll our eyes a lot up here because we are often :rofl: at their ignorant comments! I find it kind of amusing actually - and I don't need my brain at all - very relaxing :D

In a good sign of things, I almost never hear any defense of Dumbya any more - he's not "popular" any more so they are letting him rot on the vine...
