As long as they know where to get an abortion and always vote for a Democrat their education was a success, right?

What would one expect from the twits on Twitter?

One would be hard pressed chasing a short bus to find a greater concentration of retards.

The HMS Titanic also had three passenger classes; First, second, and steerage unlike the fictional Titanic movie in 1997.

As one Twitter user wondered on April 2: “Is it bad that I didn’t know the titanic was real?”

The young people who voted for Obama have been discovered...

I read somewhere else recently that a woman vacationing in Halifax visited a cemetery where some Titanic victims were buried.

She witnessed several young ladies sobbing at the grave of one “J. Dawson,” whom they sincerely believed was the Leonardo DiCaprio character from the movie.

“How am I supposed to know?”

Ask your Great Grand Parents

Ask your Grand Parents.

Ask any senior citizen.

Read History books at the Library.

Turn off the LibDem talking idiots.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Oops, "who they sincerely believed . . . "

What do they know about Hitler?

[ExGeeEye]

He was a Republican and a KKK Grand Dragon who killed 6 billion black people by reading the Bible to them.

[Sherman Logan]

What do they know about Hitler?

That he was a right wing conservative.

Also, tax cuts. For the rich JooooooooBanksters.

Didn't visit the cemetery in Halifax where the Titanic victims are buried but did visit the Maritime museum where several artifacts from the Titanic are displayed, including deck chairs.

The HMS Titanic...

As long as we're striving for persnickety historical accuracy here, let me point out that she was RMS Titanic, not "HMS".

Stands for "Royal Mail Steamer", just so's ya know.

[ArrogantBustard]

The HMS Titanic

Did not exist. The ill-fated, unsinkable-but-sunken ship was the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic. "RMS" designates a ship contracted with the Royal Mail to carry mail.

(His|Her) Majesty's Ship (HMS) designates a naval warship.

I’d be happy if I never heard the name “Titanic” again.

[Dallas59]

The vast majority of “kids” these day know only how to have sex, smoke pot and push buttons on a computer or sing a few words from popular song. They could care less what happened even ten years ago.

[bobby.223]

That he started the first world war when he had Germany bomb Pearl Harbor in 1926.

[Carriage Hill]

Me too. I still can’t get that darned phrase, “As silly as rearranging deck furniture on the Titanic”, out of my head, P_B.

Just reconfirming that public school teachers are the absolute dregs of academic society. They are the ultimate failures of our educational system.

Consider: If you look at college as a trade school, science and engineering is the top of the heap,
premed a little farther down,
business admin and prelaw about mid slope,
liberal arts, such as English Lit, for those that want to stay on campus for a lifetime,
then comes journalism,
and in the soggy swamp at the bottom, education majors, and knee deep in the bog, coaches.

These are the mouth breathers who love communism, and teach you children.
