It is better to be an uneducated rather than an 'educated fool'.

no one, as the terms are interdependent

education seldom helps a fool

but a fool seldom has the presence of mind to seek and value the furthering of his education

"I've walked through the
Valley of the Shadow of Death
With a gun and some drugs
And all the presidents

I am an educated fool
With money on my mind
And now I'm twenty two
But don't know if I'll ever see twenty-four

Tell me, why are we
So blind to see
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me."

From "gangsta paradise".

I don't know the lyrics (obviously) but love the song.

"Hate the sin, but love the sinner."

"The more sinner the sinner, the more lover the lover. When you got a lover, you gotta love 'er."

Or is that; is it better to be a content fool than a miserable intellectual?

Uneducated is bad especially when religious piety comes into play. Now as far as educated ID10Ts...

Between 60 to 80% of the Liberals out there qualify. Financial accountability before spending money we don't have people...

Religious zealots. Yeah they have gone to school but cling to god like a child clings to a mother's hem line. They rationalize beliefs with cyclical logic. Now keep in mind there is one flavor of Christian that gets it and it is in the word, not the man. I will leave that as a test to one's intellect to decipher.

CONGRESS AND THE SENATE!

NERDS!!!

People who Bungee Jump. Sorry but I can't see the thrill of tossing myself off of a bridge hoping a bungee cord is going to keep me from going spat on the ground below. Try doing it over a river in Australia some time...



Don't get Darwined!

Generation X.

Generation Y.

Generation Z.

Can't say the about Islam. Most of them ARE uneducated except here in the states. To them there is no excuse following a hate mongering religion.

Globalists! They think they can undo millions of years of evolution and human nature with money!

Would you believe that there are people who do that here..
Stupid stupid stupid.

To me an educated idiot, is someone who thinks they know to much to listen. You have no idea how many people come to Australia and just don't listen cause they think they know better..

Honestly some of us may not be as educated but we know how to survive,

So anyo0ne who is too educated to listen is just plain dumb..

Some people are preoccupied with acquiring knowledge, but have no common sense. You can have all the knowledge you want, but without good old common sense, it wont really help ya in life.

Josie, Jessie, and anyone else who is here from Australia:

Is this a happy crocodile or alligator?

Do they do this really, or is this picture a mere alligation?

Is this speciman (or specifemale) a male or a female? Is it anatomically correct, or have the Australian authorities censored the picture before it left Australia via the Internet?

No body is fool by birth(not considering mentally challenged person).
If education makes somebody a fool, it is really unfortunate. smokin

Education should empower us to think properly. Only stuffing a lot of facts can't make a person educated. Or as it is said 'little learning is dangerous'.(in my opinion) smokin

Nope its not an alligation, what ever that is, they do jump like this to grab their pray.

That is a small croc, we do not have alligators and they balance on the end of their tails.

No croc is happy they all want to eat you.

Nope its not censored.

This is a croc my 15 year old took while he was fishing. this is a big boy, and he aint happy


and this one was just watching the boat waiting.
