In case you haven't seen this

JoePa died post.  It starts crazy enough with people defending him and saying unintentionally hilarious stuff like "no one has done more for kids than JoePa" and then devolves into throwing out test scores and advanced degrees to evidence smartness.  Bonus: Amy#s sighting.

Re: In case you haven't seen this

  • I couldn't read  more than one page. Mainly because I forgot how effing annoying the Bump posters are, with their tickers and crappy pictures that they feel the need to mark with PROPERTY OF TODDSMOM08.

  • But you'll miss page 8 where Jellybeens thinks being the board mod is someone's real job and then posts her GRE scores to prove she's smrt.

    I cannot go to that post. Because my special FB friend had more than enough to say, I got involved in that, and it just didn't go well. Fallin- I don't know if you can see his page, but I wish you were friended to him just for entertainment
  • Is it the vodka ad defender dude?

    Yes. Oh yes. He's also a JoePa defender and says my view is obviously skewed since I laugh at Larry David pissing on Jesus.

  • I read the first couple of pages earlier but gave up.  I just started again on the page that you linked.  And yeah, I'm immediately pissed off by JellyBeans.

    I work in a manufacturing facility.  And I work with a lot of reeeeally smart people.  I bet a lot of them can even spell committee.

    Seriously?  He used that last time.  Clearly, every thought you ever had is now invalid because you found a comedian funny.  Every single thought ever.

  • I think JB seems like a troll. There are plenty of known posters who are complete idiots in that post not to focus on one person who is obviously trying to rile people up.

    But did they get a 5.5 on the GRE?  Did they??

    You know, I'm not sure.   I think I'll suggest that our bios should now contain all of our standardized test scores so I know whether to take someone seriously or not.

    This is racist against canadians. WTF are GREs? what is a SAT?

    I"M SO LOST. How will I know if anyone is SMRT?

  • In Facebook fight news, one of my fb friends posted an offensive picture asking why Americans were forced to tolerate Muslims praying, but poor Tim Tebow's rights were being taken away for being Christian. I couldn't help but engage. He went on to tell me how Muslims (and other faiths) are actually met with tolerance and acceptance here and Christians are comPletely persecuted. 
  • You may have to really on the less precise ranking of Scientist, Moderator, educator.

  • Who is taking away Tim Tebow's rights? He can pray and praise and whatever the heck else he wants to do with reckless abandon. Nobody is stopping him, unless there is some random news story I missed.

  • Oh, and I work in a manufacturing facility as well. Some people aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, sure, but those people are few and far between. The vast majority are very intelligent. But, what do I know? I only attended 3 years of undergrad (unless you count the community college I went to during HS), and three years of graduate school. I'm clearly not as intelligent as someone who did so well on the GREs (is 5.5 doing well? I never took them so I don't know. I only know LSAT score rankings)

    It's so hard to tell the difference between mocking/discussing something and taking away the right to do it. I hate when I get those mixed up.

    That was my point, to which he said that the NCAA took away his right to write godly things on his tape or some such nonsense. That's not exactly an inalienable right my friend.   

  • I can't stand Tim Tebow and his lying ass mother.

    Ick.

    I also am always astonished at the level of reverence for college sports in general down there but this whole Joe Paterno thing is just beyond nuts.

    They also took everyone's right equally. It's not like somebody else can post references from the Quran and he can't from the Bible.

  • Is Tim Tebow worried that people won't know he's Christian unless he puts it on his NCAA tape?

    This is both funnier and more horrifying if you mix up Larry King and Larry David.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Did they delete the thread? I got all the way to page 10 and it says it longer exists. I need to know how this ends! I don't have a masters or a doctorate and I learn all my edumacashion on the Internet.

    Oh, it's definitely not everywhere. Only when your school is *good* in something. Growing up I don't remember anyone going balls out for any collegiate sports.

    It's definitely a thing in the South, but the reverence for Paterno seems unrivaled.

    My highschool football team was sold for a baby grand piano.

    My university football team was folded because no one went to any games.

    I see these stadiums filled with college athletes in the US. College football games bring in more fans than any professional hockey game here. Its wild! WILD I say!

    You should probably put this in your siggy so we all know to ignore you when you post about smartz things.

  • It is. And it's a lot of fun.  It's also HUGE business, which is fine, except when protecting the business comes at the expense of children.

  • Trust me, not all stadiums are filled for college teams. I don't think I could come up with the last time SDSU's football team filled the stadium (although in their defense the city's professional football team has a hard time filling the same stadium.)

    It sounds fun. And it provides for a lot of athletes I imagine. But yes, the fact that people are still defending his silence is bizaaarrrrrrrrrrro to me.
