It's sad really. We live. In an age where knowledge is literally at our fingers tips. It has never been easier to educate yourself and yet ignorance is still running rampant in the world. It almost a blissful state of stupidity. I will truly weep for the world if Trump wins. I fear what the future will hold after that day.

It speaks to the limits of stored information. You can't look up the answer if you don't know the question. Or if you don't WANT to know, and are just looking to rationalize an existing decision: eg. Alan Keys' "Gay marriage causes incest."

So...everyone knows that everyone knows at least one wrong thing? Only they don't know, because not everyone knows, and how could you know?

She has a point, you don't see a lot of Mexicans in China.
Now, Mongolians are another matter.

By Jove, I think she's got it.

Everyone knows that the illegal immigrant problem will be a lot easier to handle if they can't get their horses over the border. Illegal Mexicans are much less effective in combat without their horses.

I'm sure your classmate was a laugh riot in their appearance on Jaywalking.
