'Duck Dynasty' Star Also Under Fire for African-American Statements

Same here. I took all of the shop classes.....I tried to explain to my grandson (9) the other day how we set type by hand, character by character in print shop....I got the wtf look for my efforts. lol

My bro in law believes that we may be the last generation that knows how to use tools,and laughing said that maybe our opposed thumbs would disappear in generations to come......I told him not worry, thumbs are still used to type.....

too many guays wanking off for evolution to take our thumbs away. It just wouldn't be the same without a thumb.

just sayin

Probably close in age. When I was in high school, guys took Shop class, and girls took typing. After years of practical study work, I can now type with my index fingers. My wife has always made a living at typing, and can type dictation faster than I can talk. But I can build a toolbox.

sure they can type on a keyboard but with all the current spelling shortcuts will you be able to understand what they type?

I can relate something to you (funny stuff aside) that not being able to type on a keyboard is the equilavent of not being able to read English. There are still some natural born citizens in this country who hide their illetericy wherever they go on a daily basis.

They pretend to be able to read in public but they have also mastered a way to fake it. These people (although few among us) may be sitting next to you in a restaurant and they are not able to read the menu. So they pretend they are reading the menu.

And then they just order something that they know is probably on the menu. This is like a blind person who walks around with a white cane. Not really funny but we can see the handicap and admire the effort.

Never learning how to type is a very rare afflictaion in this modern age we live in. The dumbest of the dumb (the main point of this "Georgia" post) does not include even these above mentioned.

But there are still those among us who have sailed through life will all kinds of accomplishments and even "power"....who are still hiding.

Whenever I go into a McDonalds, and order something I say under my breath to myself about the $9 an hour worker behind the counter, even in Georgia:....... "If only I could do what you do".

This brings me to a very personal confession (online).

Without telling you how old I am and not going into my past history of learning all kinds of stuff over the years (including my favorite: learning to speak fluent French after forty five) I am going to say that the very "dumbest" person in the South or anywhere else in the entire USA probably can .....type on a keyboard.

I still can't!

Just try handing a fast food worker 5.25 for a 3.20 purchase and see what happens.

It's not just the south. A young man (17 or 18) came up to me at lunch once, and asked me for the time. I held up my wristwatch for him, and he said "I can't read that kind" (analog). I told him it was 14:30, and he left angry. He'll probably be a congressman in a few years.

Must be the Local Public Ed. System. My wife and I were watching an Italian, subtitled movie when a neighbor stopped by (a young woman in her twenties). She said "I can't watch those words-on-the-bottom movies". Don't know where she's from but, she said it without a southern accent.

Holy crap! Baffled twice. My 3 year old daughter knows analogue.

Unfortunately it is not a joke. A lot of math/time/logic related things throw some people off. "Will that discount get me 10% off a month of 10% off for 6 months?" Then trying to explain that its the same to them and they ask to speak to my supervisor because I am lying to them. If you would like a perfect example of stupid people reproducing in large quantities it is America, we have a welfare system designed just to benefit people for having children.

LOL very true. Just try handing a fast food worker 5.25 for a 3.20 purchase and see what happens.

Well......you might want to google Peachtree City. Its absolutely not your average Georgia town. Many of the citizens are from all around the country and have moved there to retire. Most of the residents actually speak English that you can easily understand and everyone I have encountered is very respectfull. [tho I have to admit....most people take one look at me and think I am in law enforcement. Its always been that way for me, not sure why]. We can't wait to get down there where live moves at a snails pace. I'm hoping to relax so much that I slowly stop breathing one day.

Admittedly, there are some really scary dumb ass people in Georgia/Alabama/etc but I haven't met any in PTC yet. But then again I haven't actually moved there myself yet. When we do finally move I will know of at least one.

Sounds like a great little place PP. That's an interesting thing about the deep south. Everyone wants to live there but noone wants to live around the locals so you find a lot of these really high class places nestled between cities that eat squirrel every day.

Please tell me that's a joke? A perfect advert for why stupid people shouldn't reproduce! LOL
