A chance to increase your post count by one
Im actually interested in knowing how widespread this knowledge is so ...
WITHOUT GOOGLING do you know: 1.) Where venezuela is 2.) What the expression "having a cross to bear" means Just put a "yes" or "no" after the number of the question in your reply. It's as easy as that people. |

I know that because of a private eye cartoon, which followed on from the headline "Random tests for cattle". It was a scientist, in a field, with a clipboard, next to a cow. "You! What is the capital of Venezuela?" was the pun involved. It remains with me in the same way that the episode of 3rd Rock From the Sun where the kid whos name I've forgotten is going to get into an exclusive school but deliberately ballses it up. "It's called THE CORONA. You know that! You've BEEN THERE!" That and "I too have a dream. And in that dream I'm naked on a ferris wheel." I only remember those things about that show, other than that guy who was in that film with a doppelganger and also in Cliffhanger was in it. John Lithgow. |

Re: A chance to increase your post count by one

Re: A chance to increase your post count by one

Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
Yes, b'cause it's on a RISK board
Yes... I think... I know a lot of Dutch sayings, my English ones aren't as good but I can guess what "bear a cross" means. |
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
yes
yes why are you asking dace? |
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
Find the link...
Isn't this big Jezus(-like) bloke on the rock in Venezuela? Or are there rumours that the new pope will be from Venezuela? Knowing Dace, these two must be related somehow. |

OK a chance to increase your post count by a further one post.
Again just a simple "yes" or "no" answer will suffice. - Do you think somebody who doesn't know the answer to those questions is stupid (or is liable to be so)? |
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
Yes. I can go into further detail if required!
|
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
OK go into further detail Mark.
|
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
yes i suspect
|
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
No...
Because knowledge and intelligence are two completely different things. And being able to answer those questions falls under knowledge in my opinion. edit: for clarification, being stupid is a lack of intelligence, not knowledge. |
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
Fair enough SI but on the second original question what if the person was a catholic?
|
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
John Lithgow is funny.

Perhaps you should change "stupid" to "ignorant" or "poorly informed". However, assuming the saying "having a cross to bear" has been uttered to the individual on many occassions, and has been explain too, then perhaps one COULD conclude the person is stupid. But it's also possible the person is just forgetfull, which is not a sign of stupidity in my opinion. In short, you can't label a person stupid by asking questions that only require knowledge to answer. |

Obviously there are some cases where this doesn't apply; the classic example of the idiot savante, but genetic disorders and other similar things tend to exaggerate the number of outliers (such as dwarfism or giantism when you're looking at a distribution of heights), and are in such comparatively small numbers that they can be safely ignored. |
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
I think quite alot of non-stupid people without english as first language would have problems with nr.2.
Bear is not a common word. Not knowing where Venezuela is means you're ignorant, which means you're most likely pretty stupid though. |
Re: A chance to increase your post count by one
No,
Yes, Yes. |
