Educated and smart are different animals. Is this another “the northeast is smarter and better” story?

[Shimmer1]

I think it is.

[cripplecreek]

Looks that way to me.

So many of the degree programs today, even at the most prestigious colleges, are really worthless in the marketplace.

[ilovesarah2012]

Of course. But I find liberals to be the dumbest people on earth.

Not sure where they come with salaries because many educated people are on welfare and without a job. North Dakota has lowest unemployment rate... so, what the heck.

Of course! Yankees are so smart it's taken them 400 years or so to figure where the good weather is on the continent.

This is like Swedes faulting Hawaiians for being unable to ski.

When you rig the educational game it's very easy to claim to be 'smarter' than the other guy.

Give me a person with common sense over a book smart boob.

Yet they elect losers.....

Is this another “the northeast is smarter and better” story?

That's probably true that the northeast is "smarter", don't know about "better"...more educated is a better term...

It isn't because they are actually are, it's because of immigration demographics...

The Southwest and Southeast are being overrun with third world peoples...typically a 8th grade education at best...

So naturally the more less educated people, the more overall less "smarter" people you have...

Dutifully “learning” or being indoctrinated into what Marxists thinks you should know does NOT make you “smart”.

[Aarchaeus]

"Educated and smart are different animals."

Quite so. What we see here is an example of the prevailing extremely sloppy use of the English language.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Of course, when Yankee liberals trot out the old “the south is ignorant, obese and violent” bit, it just reveals their own racism, as the South has larger populations of blacks, who skew the numbers in those categories.
