Am I getting smarter or is the general population getting dumber?

Well?

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Its higher than that since my STAL vote was only to see results. My vote doesn't count in this. I have a clear bias.

It does feel that way...although who knows. Maybe more or less we've always been this "dumb". We've obviously progressed very far in certain areas, while seemingly regressing badly in others.
It's ironic because one would think with the invention of the internet, and having so much information at our fingertips (although that also means that there's a lot of misinformation at our fingertips as well so it's a double edged sword) that would make us significantly more knowledgeable, yet in reality it has just dumbed a lot of us down. It's also really damaged many of us when it comes to social interaction as well.
One thing I will say is, I think this new technology age has definitely bred more narcissists than ever before.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.

Id like try. I think it would be important to set up a system to give subsidies to corporations that own properties that goes undeveloped for decades due to not being able to find a developer with money. You take some funds from people that make north of $300,000 a year in taxes and you can set up environments to get roofs over homeless people's heads so the ones that go back to work contribute to the economy and eventually contribute to the funding of those organizations.
A more realistic step though is to not arrest people for just being homeless because it makes zero sense to charge someone money for being homeless, ends up with them back in jail and unrecoverable when they do get out.

Go
End all federal social programs and pass responsibility to the states and local municipalities. These people are easier to hold accountable and keep in line. Only tax money designated to feds should be for defense and again keeping state officials in check. This would free up untolds amount of funds that could pay for housing for the homeless.
As for wings. I would forcefeed them, bone and all, to patlal until he understands what wings are all about.
