Thickish People.... Everywhere!
« on: 15 November 2011, 09:52 »
Right, I've noticed some scary developments (or steps backwards) in young people these days. In a group discussion recently with people of ages ranging from 20-29 it was discovered that peoe didn't know the owing things:

Who Charles Darwin is
Mariah Carey is Half black
The capital of Northern Ireland
Who discorvered penicillin
What penicillin does
Britains only female prime minister
The first mass produced ford
Who Allah is
The location of Andorra

Theres loads more stuff like this but has anyone else noticed that the Great British population is getting thicker?



Thank your labour government!

I overheard a conversation on the park and ride bus the other morning:

'Would you be breaking the law if you killed someone if you were an assassin? Because... It's like your job innit.'

And many other gems.

You can't blame Labour for everything  :grin:
Maybe people need to take responsibility for themselves.

There does seem to be a gerneral lack of curiosity these days. If I don't know something the first thing I do is look it up (usually on wiki).

I didn't know where Andorra is either.  :lipsrsealed:

further more a coversation I heard on TOWIE (yes I know) but two of the people speaking on there about the sun and the moon.

They both thought the sun was a planet and it actually revolved around the earth. the girl actually thought the sun and the moon was the same thing and just changed at night time for us..... grown fcuking people!!   :huh:
