From what I've read on this section of the site, I'd guess that 4th grade would be the average.

By someone on here called "Bad Mother Rucker" because apparently "Rucker" is a rugby term and "no Welsh person would fail to know what it meant". As I did not recognise the term I "cannot be Welsh".

Because, of course, every Welsh person is a rugby fanatic just like every Scot eats Haggis and every Irish person likes to drink too much.

Where do these people get off with their stupid stereotypes?!?!?

For "Bad Mother Rucker's" information yes I am from Wales, born in Newport, lived in Cardiff most of my life, currently living up the valleys. I'd even post my address and ask him/her round to visit if I could be bothered!!

Sorry I just found this really amusing! Yes I know this post will get deleted but couldn't resist.

Anyone else failing to live up to their stereotypes? Aussies who don't wear a hat covered in corks?! Americans who don't eat McDonalds?! Come on you know you're out there . . .

Was the US invasion of Iraq based on international consensus and did international institutions support it? What was the real purpose behind the invasion which has claimed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives? Where are the weapons of mass destruction that the US claimed were being stockpiled in Iraq?

The newspaper this morning says that the Democrats want to tax cigarettes in order to make health insurance available to all children. Isn't obesity a growing problem among our children? Couldn't we get children the health care they need, and at the same time reduce their risk for health problems by taxing the foods that are making them fat and unhealthy? Instead of bringing the tax on cigarettes to $1, why don't we bring the tax on Happy Meals up to a $1? I don't think parents would be so eager to stop at McDonald's or Wendy's instead of cooking if it costed more.
The statistics show that most people who smoke live in poverty. Raising the price of cigarettes is not going to deter these people from smoking. All it will do is take money from their children to continue to support their habit. Actually, I think we should tax fast-food and spend that money on stuff to actually help smokers quit - stuff other than hotlines.
All debating is welcome!!

I was watching the TODAY show this morning and they were talking about the Supreme Court and the issues it was going to have to deal with like gun laws.

One issue in particular was that voters will now have to show their IDs in order to cast their vote. Some argue against this, saying that it would be a disadvantage for the elderly, minorities and the poor.

How EXACTLY is having an ID a disadvantage for these three groups? If you are an American citizen, shouldn't you have an ID anyway? A drivers' license? a state-issued ID?

I appreciate the answers.
