    I don't think she knows what a map is.

    Sad thing is that she's probably smarter than at least 25 percent of the American public.

    Yes, that may be true . . . but she is hotter than 99.95% of the people . . . and, at least in this country, isn't that what really matters? :huh: :(

    The correct answer would have been for her to say, "but some of us are so beautiful that we don't have to be able to identify where the USA is on one of those map thingies. We will get everything we ever want handed to us on a silver platter . . . and in the future, I will make some lucky rich guy an excellent trophy wife."

    She already used the trophy wife line in the career choice section.

    Awright you wise guys, I'd like to point out that all of us, including me, were completely stumped by a map of the US put up over in the map scavenger hunt thread next door:

    [attachmentid=10966]

    So let's not get feeling all superior.

    Furthermore, the very notion of a map these days is quaint; with GPS ubiquitious in our cell phones, our cars, our Blackberrys, our portable toasters, who needs something as antiquated and baffling as a map? I'm not surprised Miss It's-All-About-The-Sex-And-Nothing-But-The-Sex Teen USA lost her grip with the question - when did anyone ever need a map to find their way to a BJ? You may think her apparent ignorance was appalling - personally, I think what was appalling was something must larger than her trivial rhetorical misstep.

    Ahh!!
    A product of our public school system no doubt.
    The problem isn't no shild left behind its that there's no "No teacher left behind!"

    I mean someone at any of the edukational insti2shuns she attended should be fired. Not to mention the judges she had to sleep with to get that far in this contest!

    poor thing doesn't think too fast on her feet, evidently. Either that, or she's studying to be a politician. She used a lot of words to say nothing coherent, that's a lot like Bush so be afraid, be very afraid. :lol:

    BLAME no child left behind. Geography hasn't been taught for years in favor of extra reading and math. If it isn't on the test, it doesn't get taught.

    My point exactly! :rolleyes:

    I remember carrying those !@$#%&*^ heavy books; History, Geography, Math, Language, Science.
    Then I got old enough that I didnt have to ride the SHORT BUS, but rather ride the BIG BUS and learned how to skip school. :lol: B)

    Im surprised to see that schools are teaching students collage level materials by the 6th or 7th grade levels.
    Who do we have to blame? Our educational sys. They continue to try and cram as much as they can into the students heads and the poor teachers having to deal with low test scores..... <_<

    Sad so sad. :mellow:
