    Stupid is the new cool for the 2010s!!

    Man, every time I open a CL add on my nightly quest for my next trike I am bombarded with crappy grammar and horrific spelling..

    Not saying I'm perfect, I make mistakes..but I take pride in my ability to communicate and that fact I can still correct my 13 year olds grammar and spelling on her homework.

    When did the general public become worse at spelling than a 3rd grader..it make me crazy.

    If I read one more CL add written by someone selling something 'bran' new I think I'll freak out and climb the clock tower.

    It's BRAND new you stupid f*&kers!!! Geesh!!!

    That's my rant for today, on that I'm going to bed..
    Current toys..

    National stats on h.s. grad english and math are
    beyond belief.

    Lte's start a thread:
    "I need to 'sale' my whatever"
    "awsome 3 weller. It's a great quaad"
    "looks ok but needs 'painted'.

    ..to be or not to be ain't part of the question apparently.

    This is what Einstein predicted. Something like " I fear the the day that technology has advanced so far that the world is filled with a bunch of idiots".

    It's sad but we already see it. Your spelling gets corrected, your math is done by a computer and the computer you have is out of date the day you buy it.

    Where are the Mayans when we need them!!!!

    It's a bit scary.
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    I appreciate you not escalating that..I shouldn't have freaked out.

    But we don't need to bring those issues in here..we have to be careful of the lines we cross in our discussions.

    Perhaps I should have chosen a different topic, after all if stupid becomes the new standard..we literates may become the minority.

    Kinda like a white guy in downtown Toronto!!

    We'll just leave it at that!

    I like looking on craigslist, sometimes I feel like the smartest man alive reading some of the descriptions.

    I just had to throw in the Michigan thing since a lot of your trikes come from below the bridge.
