Is ignorance increasing? Have we reached the point that learning is going backwards?
Evidence from Yahoo Answers:
"Is a cabbage vegatable considered a type of plant?"
Could it be anything BUT a plant?
80 % of Americans do not know the name of our current Vice President, John McCain isn't sure how many homes his wife owns, only forty percent of Americans know the name of our new Vice President, and the folks in Minnesota are barely able to count votes (see pp 32-33 of the Dec 22 issue of Time magazine).
We wonder why we are in such tough times. Stupidity and ignorance may be part of it.

idk.. i think there are always going to be dumb people. The person asking about cabbage is probably really young.
So he doesnt know if cabbage is a plant, but how many kids that age could log onto computers and ask questions and stuff when your parents were growing up?
OR that person is not a native english speaker, and just messed up the wording. that doesnt mean they are dumb (in fact, they are smarter than me, because i dont speak any other languages and they have mastered thier own and are tackling another one).
I think its so easy/meaningless to say.. look how stupid people are... man, when i was growing up people were so smart/ i am so smart. its really just a waste of time to make statements like this. becuase back in your day, a lot of stupid crap was going down and you know it.

No doubt we are dumbing down ! Its good though, it makes me worth more money to my employer because the young kids are too dumb to do my job that requires a bachelor's degree ! I love it. Just look at some of the responses on this website. I have seen people make the most ignorant comments I have ever heard. I heard one guy say Bush murdered a million innocent women and children in Iraq !
Can you believe someone would say that ?
By the way, Cynthia (below) is one of those dumb pinheads !
She can't spell or write a complete sentence either ! She is one of the dumb ones your are talking about !

I absolutely agree. I'm constantly have to dumb conversations down at my work, to the highschool employees. AND twilight is a popular book. I mean, the story has potential, but the writing is AWFUL! You should be an IQ minimum on who can publish a book, and don't get me started on IQ levels for breeding ;)
