Larry Summers....former President of Harvard...said some politically incorrect things and paid the price.

Thanks goofer!

Stupid little scooterbug - how could I have EVER mixed up the overhyped news stories about a college prof who made poorly received remarks and a college president who made poorly received remarks :roll:.

The irony of being told I'm too stupid for words in a thread about how the world would be better if we were more polite to each other........

I'm confused. I am a non-white female that was was raised in a poor immigrant family. Does that mean I'm stupid, rude, or both?

We've had this discourse in another thread, and I guess my point is that most people are by nature, selfish, and that manners are taught at an early age. Beyond childhood, the only folks likely to change are by introspection, and very little introspection is going on with IQs south of 100. I could be wrong on this, but it's my take on the growing incivility out there.

Which side of 100 does yours fall on?

I get you and get your thread and applaud you for trying to be civil!! And FWIW, one gets so MUCH more out of life by being considerate!

I don't know, let me think that through and give you a civil answer.

Mother may I? then came video games, lets blame it on that. Keep it simple stupid. Let's not forget Einstein it's all relative. The first politically correct theorist
