Caught a couple of my kids playing computer games in class today. Normally, they should get written up for that, but it was Heroes III, so I let them off...

Embarrassing to you?!? Imagine how we feel. Oh, and to top it off, one of his speeches preempted the Charlie Brown Christmas special on tv. Not cool, man. Not cool.

Hi Elvin

No, haven't missed a lot. It's good to have you back though

@Kalah: Honestly, when I saw what your reporters threw overboard of principals and ground beliefs to try and meet Obama, I thought the exact same thing you did. But American presidents are like superstars here. It's so disgusting..

Yah, I mean, it's a big thing an all, but behaving like that? It's ludicrous. Makes me lose any respect I might have had for Norwegian reporters.

He's my president. We are all still waiting for him to do something as a president. Especially with the economy. All we know is, is that he's good at travelling and good with speeches. Not much else.

Well, the speech he gave in Norway seemed rather uenthusiastic. He looked so tired. Poor guy...

Well, I am going to Devil's Island today for a b-day in the big city...hope it's gonna be fun

I bought a super lovely dress, I can't wait to wear it!

Hopefully, I can get some of myself at the party. I hate always just being the photographer...

The world has always hated our guts. I'm used to that. Obama will not change that, though he thinks he can. I'm doing my part to reverse this world thinking unlike Obama though.....

Yeah, just look at Kennedy getting boo'd that time in Germany and how much everyone hated the Marshall plan etc.

Or did you just mean ignorant americans... then you're right, everyone will always hate your guts unless you stop being ignorant...

ByteBandit · Unread postby **ByteBandit** » 13 Dec 2009, 00:42

True....
I beleive America has more ignorant people per capita than any other country. I can't dispute that. To prove my point, I was in the minority to those who voted for George Dub.

Nah, most people are stupid, no matter which country. Different kinds of stupid, perhaps, but stupid nevertheless.

ByteBandit · Unread postby **ByteBandit** » 13 Dec 2009, 05:05

Makes you wonder who's more ignorant. The person who wants to rule a country, has all the skills and qualifications to do so, or the backward country hick who can make the best Moonshine you've ever tasted.
Think I'll hang with the Moonshiner.

I am happy there are always more ignorant people than myself, so I can have a job. I wish there were more of them, and get a better job even

ByteBandit · Unread postby **ByteBandit** » 13 Dec 2009, 07:06

I don't work much anymore these days. And when I did, I found the people who were my bosses were more ignorant than me. which goes to show you that the smart ones don't work!

But only in america do people that have studies at Oxford and play the violin deliberately make themselves seem stupid in order to appeal to their audience!

I like Dylan Moran's take on Americans. It's not that they're more stupid than others, it's just that:

Dylan Moran wrote:Stupid Americans just sound a lot more stupid than other stupid people. Like after one of those shootings, a guy was interviewed by a local TV station:
"Yeah, I was there, and, like, I wanted to get some burgers, you know, and, like, this guy came in, and he had, like, a gun, and he started shooting, and, like, everybody was like totally dead."
