- voze, on 08/05/2008, -16/+123to be honest its more just like "the rise of stupidity in america"
- batmanz, on 08/05/2008, -9/+78I notice that women point out that stupidity is bad. Sexist.
- RAGEdemon, on 08/05/2008, -17/+79no.
- inactive, on 08/05/2008, -12/+72I am like comic!
- MaryCait, on 08/05/2008, -9/+63lolspeak aside, the US really is in a scary anti-intellectual movement, at least as a general sentiment/narrative with the majority of people the comic pokes at.
- Matt-lars, on 08/05/2008, -6/+54y so srs?
- ScientistBlah, on 08/05/2008, -12/+49Dugg for all comments made by Americans who can't admit their own countries' faults.
- floridiot2, on 08/05/2008, -3/+36What does the 9/11 of you say?
- Takfam, on 08/05/2008, -14/+44Part of me thinks that maybe you're being sarcastic. The other 9/10 of me says to give you a thumbs down. Majority rules.
- metaknite, on 08/05/2008, -0/+30It's what plants crave!
- Airforcefalco, on 08/05/2008, -28/+57Humans don't speak LolCatz. Dugg for being inaccurate
- BoneheadFarker, on 08/05/2008, -3/+22"Go back to the months after 9/11 and you'd find just about everyone supported kicking the crap out of Afghanistan..."
So...how the hell did you end up in Iraq? - inactive, on 08/05/2008, -11/+29That's why we should all vote for McCain. He's got wisdom... and electrolytes!!!
- ironeus, on 08/05/2008, -3/+21it's "relative" see top-left /s
- yohnstoppable, on 08/05/2008, -1/+17You am America-Hating traitor who am probably HOMOSEXUAL
- GhostyBoy, on 08/05/2008, -3/+18MakiMaki doesn't hate America, this submission makes fun of stupidity.
Oh and "America-hater" is a knee-jerk response used by the same idiots that this thing is making fun of, so way to step up to the plate I guess. - allodude, on 08/05/2008, -4/+19So you're admitting they're smarter?
- BorsKaegel, on 08/05/2008, -6/+21It am only thing to do!
- MrErr, on 08/05/2008, -5/+20As long as there are stupid people around, we should not get tired of it.
- LokitheComplex, on 08/05/2008, -1/+16I actually feel sorry for decent Americans now.
- styx31989, on 08/05/2008, -2/+15sorry, even with the whole sarcasm thing, I think I lost braincells reading that.
- bosssmiley, on 08/05/2008, -7/+20You're not that stupid. Comic am good though.
- SugarCoatedSalt, on 08/05/2008, -2/+15It am only thing to do.
- Trublmakr, on 08/05/2008, -2/+14IT AM front page.
- Quaterni0n, on 08/05/2008, -1/+13You apparently never had to deal with fundamentalists. MaryCait has it right.
- Suzilla, on 08/05/2008, -2/+13If it makes you feel any better, the rise of militarism (really, just the mercenary arm of the corporatocracy) has been going on much longer than that.
Read up on the Spanish-American War, for instance. - inactive, on 08/05/2008, -1/+11Must've taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.
- Witchboy, on 08/05/2008, -2/+12Of course we wanted to strike at the Taliban and Al Qaeda. But we didn't want to shred the Constitution, tank the economy, disembowel regulations meant to keep lenders in line, call dissenting views treasonous, torture people, support creationism over Evolution, or *invade the wrong country*.
- inactive, on 08/05/2008, -14/+24Since the stupid people are in control and we appear to be headed for more of the same after the next election regardless of which right wing party wins...
Who is stupid here? The people who commit the war crimes, the people who apologize for them or those of us who continue to fail to change the political landscape in this nation? I'm feeling pretty stupid right now after living through nothing but right wing militarism my entire 46 years without any sort of sign we are trying to change it. - cuppyCake, on 08/05/2008, -10/+20It's good to see Tom Tomorrow show up on the Digg front page. A little surprising, since I expect front-page Digg comics to be xkcd...
- inactive, on 08/05/2008, -2/+11To true. Mark Twain called that little bit of murder correctly at the time. It goes back even further. Read some of John Quincy Adams' writings regarding the Mexican War.
But that actually makes me feel worse. We still haven't learned after nearly two centuries. - beanphoner, on 08/05/2008, -6/+15She didn't label everyone she disagreed with as anti-intellectual. And the US is in an anti-intellectual movement. The debates have been had, the ignorant people don't listen. Most Americans believe the Patriot Act only goes after terrorists, yet if you read the legislation, you'll see it can count pot smokers as terrorists...
FYI, Both Obama & McCain voted to uphold the Patriot Act for fear of being labeled "WEAK ON TERROR". If that's not a sign of an anti-intellectual movement, I dunno what is. - gtroyp, on 08/05/2008, -4/+12No. Only people who thought kicking the crap out of Iraq was a good idea were stupid. Last time I checked Al Qaeda is still out there, the Taliban is recharging and that lanky, diabetic, fame-hound Osama bin Laden is still walking the planet. Not kicking the crap out of those guys, that was stupid.
- styx31989, on 08/05/2008, -1/+9This is already ***** old. reading this far down has hurt my head.
- GhostyBoy, on 08/05/2008, -1/+9Go easy on him, he's a little bit slow....
- lantza, on 08/05/2008, -0/+8Said comic is even better when the cat is removed and the cat's owner is talking to himself.
http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ - AAK15, on 08/05/2008, -2/+10it better ***** not be
- RBrenner14, on 08/05/2008, -3/+10WHY you hate brave troops?!
- sb66, on 08/05/2008, -0/+7Probably Bush voters who bought the BS hook, line and sinker and are too dumb to realize it after all this time.
- inactive, on 08/05/2008, -2/+9***** - something like 33% of the country opposed the Iraq war from the start, myself included. Oh, certainly, the vast majority of congress fully endorsed it, but since when was congress an accurate representation of the wishes of the people? It's people like you playing revisionist history - there's a side of the argument that's inconvenient for you to acknowledge, that some people always thought the Iraq war was a bad idea, and so since you can't as easily dismiss the people who predicted the mess we're in today, you just pretend that side doesn't exist. Heaven forbid you acknowledge that some liberals got something right for a change.
- grillcover, on 08/05/2008, -3/+10no, this isn't offensive. because they're NOT 1930s asian caricatures (though i love that you and so many other people immediately ASSUMED the racist interpretations, looking for trouble / to be offended) but rather is almost definitely 'caveman'-speech... or bizarro superman, if that's your thing.
dialect is interesting, because if it's written very specifically (as in plays... i suggest Eugene O'Neill for some amazing examples) to capture the accent as well as the vernacular, it could totally be racist and offensive. but broken english? simple, article-devoid sentences? no note as to HOW it's said or what letters are missing or changed... plus they're WHITE.
maybe we've grown apart from the stereotypical caveman because of our greater knowledge of pre-***** sapiens and the Geico commercials upping the image, but for a long time in entertainment this was pretty standard for 'dumb sounding.' - Radan, on 08/05/2008, -1/+8Spend five minutes on Xbox Live and you will have your answer.
Spoiler!
It's worse, and apparently it's contagious. - GhostyBoy, on 08/05/2008, -1/+7I like how the people who are part of the problem come to this thread to defend their stupidity.
- randomstupid, on 08/06/2008, -0/+6Britain's wearing the 'i'm with stupid' shirt
- nblsavage, on 08/05/2008, -1/+7Asian caricatures? What are you talking about?
- Kyrato, on 08/05/2008, -1/+7Right you are, same goes for both republican and democrat.
- DrunkenDigger, on 08/05/2008, -4/+10correction. It's 'us am like comic!' Can you please learn english?
