Basic algebra is simple and useful. Shouldn’t be difficult for most anyone to learn. The advanced stuff gets hairy, but basic algebra should be considered a minimum re4quirement for a civilized society.

I’m betting you self-taught a little algebra. When in need, smart people can figure it out.

By your own stupid statement, you don’t know Algebra, I do, and I know you use it, but you’re just a hard headed idiot who wants to call names at people that know math. So, yeah, I DO know something about your job that you don’t. Get over it, stupid.

Says the little boy who just had to tell everyone he was a “master plumber”, somehow better than the other plumbers. You’re welcome to kiss their ass, mine too.

My total apologies to you for everything I said previously. I take it all back. You were right, he is too stupid to be an American. He doesn’t even know as a “master plumber” that he uses Algebra every day. Hell, he wasn’t even aware that I was supporting him.

No, Sunshine, the dumbing down of America is what has been killing this country, people like you that think an education is something to mock and avoid. You’re the reason the dumbing down and fall of this great nation is happening. You’re easily manipulated by the left due to your belligerence driven by ignorance.

FR is a place to learn, something you think is for “sissies”. The only sissy is you that is afraid to learn. Scared of knowledge. Congratulations, you are the personification of the Dumbing Down of America.

I don’t know what makes you so stupid, but it really works.

I almost missed this, glad I didn’t.

Apologies accepted, and in turn I apologize for my rough language.
