You have stumbled on the greatest secret in America!America has replaced the Indian caste system with the degreed (The elite) and the rest of being the lower class or the serfs. They automatically become better than the rest by virtue of some piece of paper that usually mommy and daddy bought. Why do you think there fraternities and secret pledges. Its to keep out the scum..But every so often to the embarrassment of those elite a few slip through the cracks and just don't seem to know their "place". Like:
Dave Thomas-Founder of Wendy's (High school drop out.)
George Washington--No College
Abraham Lincoln--Virtually self taught
Andrew (By g-d) Jackson-No College
Andrew Johnson--No College
Harry S. Truman--High school

Have you never heard the expression "A little learning is a dangerous thing". You sound rather pompous to me. You should get a life and then maybe you would not spend time getting such kicks out of other peoples mistakes. Good manners are worth a whole heap of learning. You are being extreemly rude.

Sounds as if someone has an awfully big chip on their shoulder.
Have you noticed the only people who bother about qualifications are those who haven't achieved any.
In real life intelligence is about so much more than paper qualifications.

Yaaaaah, of course mate.............Seems to me like YOU are the one with a chip on your shoulder as concerns the educated/non-educated thing.
Fact is everyone gets a little upset when thier mistakes are pointed out to them - its human nature and you know it.
Still, cling onto those small victories little man - you'll show them educated wan*kers eh!

Because they have the gift of the gab, and the right sort of gab to get the job they are in...they are like the rest of us they have degrees in a certain subject and it's not usually in common sense...these are the sort of people that are running our country and making mistakes

we dont have to be educated to be intelligent, life experience counts for so much more, i do it all the time too and actually get a sick sense of satisfaction out of it so you carry on and correct them there mistakes and enjoy the satisfaction too.

Just because someone has a degree it doesn't necessarily mean they are intelligent. I managed to get one.....
