:wow:

But but but..what about those old people. They don't know how to use a computer!

Do we really have to do a DU poll again to see what percentage of the posters here are 65+?

Some of you whiners are acting as if computer was just invented yesterday. FYI personal computers were around in 1977.

1. srsly.
In this day and age, if you can't send an email or use the google, you have no right leading the country.

I couldn't get ANY type of job with McCain's (lack of) experience!

5. PC's have been around for 30 years! McOld has NO excuse to be computer illiterate!
it's not like he couldn't afford a PC.
it's not like he couldn't afford to take computer classes.
it's not like he couldn't afford to put a pc in every living room in all of his houses.
it's not like he couldn't take the effort and the time to try to ask questions about the internet so he could understand one of the most significant advances in human productivity in history.

He is lazy. He can't use being "old" as an excuse. He just doesn't give a shit about what everyone else does. He's going to continue to use his horse and buggy until the damn horse dies.

Just. Plain. Dumb.
