I'm talking about the average level of civic knowledge everyone should know and is required to create a citizenry capable of effectively governing itself (not how many psychology majors there are).  I thought that was pretty clear in my post.  But you gave some great examples of the problem, like thinking "knowing all…

You clearly don't understand the vast, ongoing conspiracy against cannabis, skunk ape.  Even every chemist working in the world has been bought off. Because how else could you explain why no one has tried this or even published any research regarding the feasibility of this in a peer reviewed journal?

I always want to punch in the face every education reformer who thinks we need to focus on math, science, and reading.  When of course if you devote resources to taking standardized tests measuring reading comprehension, you must take away resources from other things such as the study of history (and social sciences…

I love this guy but his interview responses here are surprisingly curt, especially given Keith's interesting questions and Ebert's loquacious internet persona.  Surely he must know that in Chicago, it's the AV Club that carries the torch of intelligent movie reviewing.   

Then Baramos, you are totally full of shit and know little about Christianity or the study of the Bible.  If you don't know that the section being discussed is quite often disputed, I'd suggest you educate yourself before making stupid claims.

I've noticed this show so far this season has relied more on our goodwill in watching everyone hang out instead of really loading up on the actual jokes.  It's been kind of disappointing.

Perhaps you need to look up what vindictive mean.  I have no clue what you are talking about.

Do you have a pederasty fetish? 

Interesting fact for you- that whole part was a much later addition to the Gospels that doesn't appear in any early copies of the texts.  Orthodox Christians to this day don't recognize that as authentic.

Um, why?  Here's something that makes much more sense.  I wish shaving pubic hair was frowned upon in the US, as it is in Afghanistan.

He needs to find a happier medium between his current emaciated look and the old jolly, obese look.

Get off your high horse.  She's got better tits than your great aunt.  The nip slip was great fapping material.

Given this guy's history of criminality- including assault, soliciting prostitutes, and tax evasion- I wonder if Frontline's reporters asked if this was the guy who should be trying to build a mosque in lower Manhattan.

That's his problem.  He was a great war correspondent 50+ years ago and because of that, he's been allowed to rant like a homeless man since then.

Just check the writers for these episodes.  One started off on "Caroline in the City" and has been in the sitcom writing bubble in Burbank or Studio City for the last 15+ years.  Another is a former tabloid reporter for Gawker and Defamer.  Whitney Cummings is barely involved as she has her own show and Michael…

What about LA?  How can you not have a presence in LA but instead in Fort Collins?  Doesn't Todd already live in LA?  Couldn't he throw some shit together from time to time about LA?  Or maybe you could partner with the LA Weekly.

It moved nights I believe.

I can't wait to see this movie, 3 years from now on tv, and greatly enjoying its ridiculousness.  My presumption is North Korea will have to team up with Hugo Chavez, Iran, Cuba, and a French/Russian alliance led by Putin (shirtless of course) and Sarkozy (wearing a beret of course) driving tanks across the White…

Friday night is the traditional masturbation night.  No time for tv unless it has lots of boobs.

I only made it 5 minutes into Whitney.  I couldn't stand the worst recorded laughter I've ever head on a show.  But I presume the relative success of this show means the ladies of Community are going to have to run around in their underwear a lot more.
