It will be very interesting to see how this all pans out, I will be watching news coverage and Iraqi reactions very closely. |

"captured" - accordin to marines who were involved - and his "capture" occured coindentally on the same day Bush signed Patriot Act II into law - pretty convenient. You *MUST* understand the US government does NOT want stability in the region - or more specifically malignant elements within the government who have big monetary stakes in the goings on in the world do not want stability there. Simple. Poor soldiers as pawns, as it has always been. Nothing is new under the sun . . . indeed |

irrelevant commentI know this is completely irrelevant to the thread but I have just had dinner with a nice bottle of Australian wine and I don't care. I am relying on pawnificator to correct spelling and grammar. |

You can count on me!Second, you shunt drink a whole bottle by yersef. Spellin looks dandy. Grammar is still hanging in there but she's old, so I don't spect her to speek good. Also, I don't think you can say a large group of any sort of people are naive. It just doesn't make sense. A single person is naive, not a group. Unless of course you are talking about a group of naive people, then the group is naive. Whatever. |

Researchers Find Typos Indicative of Stupidity.SANCHEZ, South Dakota (AP) -- A team of researchers have found typos to be indicative of intelligence levels. Dr Stuart Coleman, the leading researcher of a team studying Internet typos, has found that there is a conclusive link between kinds and frequency of typos, and intelligence. The team studied over 1,000 subjects from every walk of life. The subjects were asked to perform several different tasks, from E-mail to instant messaging and even Internet message boards, and the researchers would document the typos made and how often they occurred. "We decided to focus specifically on 'typos' that are typically used as Internet slang, instead of accident related typos," said Dr Coleman. "These including things such as 'U-R' instead of 'you are.'" Several others studied included "your" instead of "you're," "plz" instead of "please," "im" instead of "I'm." Other mistakes studied were grammatical, such as capitalization, correct comma use, even decipher made up words. "Sometimes people would inquire about the study, and when I explained it to them, try to write off the typos as time saving," said Dr Coleman. "But when you think about, selling you intelligence for a few microseconds it takes to type the extra ' and e to spell "you're" correctly, is it really worth it?" He continued to say; "It really gets me when people think that just because you're online you can typo like a f***ing retard. If you have the motor control of a retarded chimpanzee with Parkinson's disease you should be able to do it." The study concluded that people with advanced college degrees made almost no typos, and would actually fix accidental ones they found. People with a standard four year degree tended to use time savers, (i.e. skipping apostrophes in you're, as well as capitalization), while people with a high school diploma or less tended to type with the grammatical accuracy of a horse bashing its hoof against a keyboard. Dr Coleman's main research analysts, Dr Anthony Doucet, had this to say about the results, "Generally as education improves grammar and spelling improve, as does diction and clarity of thought. But sometimes you'll find a douche bag who managed to struggle through a 2-year community college who would write like second grader on crack. Those were painful." One post-based site frequented by the poorer performers was ubersite.com. Dr Doucet had this to say of people posting on this site, "I saw way too many posts that looked like they were written by a second grader with one hand two feet up his ass talking about how Black people suck, or how Mexicans are destroying the economy, or God knows what other garbage." When some of these people were asked to take IQ tests, few accepted. "The ones who did enjoyed an average IQ of 57. That indicates severe mental retardation, or some form of brain trauma," said Dr Doucet. Dr Coleman was overheard saying, "Christ, even people who just had strokes and can barely move score better than that." Dr Coleman gave a brief synopsis of the results as this, "As intelligence and education go up, generally these typos decrease. Of course, this is not always the case, but the trend is obvious. It is also important to note that there are many other factors playing into this, such as lifestyle, political views, ethnicity, et cetera. We still need further analysis to be able to conclusively identify trends in other areas." These results may m ake dumbasses type correctly. For the sake of mankind, this reporter hopes so. www.ubersite.com" target="_blank">-> www.ubersite.com |

spellers are also more intelligent, but spelling ability does not necessarily indicate intelligence. |
