Intelligent Communities are those which have – whether through crisis or foresight – come to understand the enormous challenges of the Broadband Economy, and have taken conscious steps to create an economy capable of prospering in it. They are not necessarily big cities or famous technology hubs. They are located in developing nations as well as industrialized ones, suburbs as well as cities, the hinterland as well as the coast.

Pretty much

LOL people here are dumb it's true... I basically feel like I have to babysit my way through it all. And in the few cases where their intelligence is not an issue, you run into horrible ideals and culture flaws, that also render the interaction worthless..as in 'of no value'.

Yeah, 'babysitting' is a pretty good descriptor of how I feel about it.
Maybe I'm cynical, but hardly anything challenges that opinion...ever, so it's kinda hard to look at it more optimistically .

The really funny thing for me is that I personally know 3 people who believe nearly ALL of the shit listed above.

If you're rural, if you own a gun, if you vote Republican, if you're racist, stupid, completely incapable of introspection and think squirrel rape is a perfectly acceptable Wednesday evening, then you're probably one of the stupidest people to walk the surface of this planet....and you're probably an American from the south.

- 20% of voters believe there is a link between childhood vaccines and autism, 51% do not

this view was also widespread in the UK after the introduction of the MMR vaccine, all because of one 'maverick' (i.e. wrong) doctor

- 7% of voters think the moon landing was faked

shamefully, in the UK it's apparently around 20%. i think i learned that from an episode of QI

- 4% of voters say they believe “lizard people” control our societies by gaining political power

this 'theory' was invented by a British guy call David Icke, who apparently draws crowds of 1,000s to his epic talks on the subject here in the UK, and is a bestselling author (in the UK)

there's morons everywhere who need to be facially dick-whipped until they see sense. we just pick on American morons because it's America. one day, it'll be Chinese morons who get picked on

[GONNAFISTYA]

So what you're saying is that Americans on the "really fucking dumb" side of the scale will believe even FERINER conspiracies?!?

[seremtan]

yes - they just won't know they're furren
