January 20, 200521 yr Is anyone else watching the NBC coverage? Brian Williams told a story from the campaign about how the Bush daughters said they would accompany their father at one last stop on the campaign and the Bush daughters announced they would be going to "s-eye-ox" city (pronounced exactly like that) and then were later correct as going to Sioux City, LMAO.
January 21, 200521 yr Stupid people have stupid kids. 660799[/snapback] Exactly. No real surprise. Do you really think they paid much attention at school?
January 21, 200521 yr Stupid people have stupid kids. 660799[/snapback] Exactly. No real surprise. Do you really think they paid much attention at school? 661349[/snapback] Well, if I were parents of a billionaire I wouldn't really give a damn about school. I'd graduate with the lowest possible GPA then get some cushy job from some friend of the family.

January 21, 200521 yr Ok geniuses, pronounce this one: "Schaghticoke" That's the town that has the county fair for the county I was born in. Without cheating, or being from upstate NY, I bet there's 0% correct guesses. 661447[/snapback] Every kid hears of the Sioux indians when they're in elementary school. It's not like it's some obscure name.
January 21, 200521 yr FutureGm and FritzI dont want to offend you guys but by your logic the kinds of posts you made in this thread must speak volume about your parents. I graduated with a 3.85 GPA, which is moderately decent from FIU, and I have a hard time pronouncing some words, and coincidentially Sioux is one of them. I find it amazing how all of a sudden not pronouncing a word correctly automatically makes someone stupid. I hope you never say a dumb comment like that in front of any mexicans, southerners, black southerners, or foreign immigrants.

At any rate, maybe my statement was a little harsh for a slip of the tongue, but it's not like Sioux is some uber-difficult foreign name that people do not hear relatively frequently.
January 21, 200521 yr Actually theres plenty of foreigners etc. with tons of money. And by the way Bush's daughters count as southerners, they were born in Texas. There are plenty of ways to insult the bush daughter's intelligence, but mispronounciation should not be a reason to mock anyones intelligence

Mispronouncing words has nothing to do with intelligence. Neither does money

It has a lot to do with educational opportunities, parental support, etc. I really don't care though. You're right. I'm wrong. The world will still revolve properly.

Some of the smartest people i know have not even received a high school education
January 21, 200521 yr ask 95% people and they wont know how to pronounce sioux 661745[/snapback] What about 95% of Americans?
January 21, 200521 yr Bleh, wealthy people tend to be more intelligent than non-wealthy people. Intelligence and knowledge are not the same thing. There's a fantastic educational opportunity available to anyone in this country, and its free. Its commonly known as the public library. At age 15 I knew more about (subsonic) aerodynamics and war history than most people ever learn in a lifetime. Didn't cost a dime. 662067[/snapback] Never heard of taxes? /smartass
January 22, 200521 yr The library I used was a rural one staffed by volunteers, and equipped with donated materials. :plain should've known that one was coming Fritz...
January 22, 200521 yr they're both dumb as bricks (especially jenna), as was evidenced from their little "comedy" routine at the RNC. barbara remains very bonable, nonetheless. Well, if I were parents of a billionaire 661368[/snapback] dubya aint a billionaire.

January 23, 200521 yr Jenna is the one on the right in the picture. Barbara is to the left of Leiter.
January 23, 200521 yr ask 95% people and they wont know how to pronounce sioux 661745[/snapback] that's because we live in a country filled with morons
January 23, 200521 yr ask 95% people and they wont know how to pronounce sioux 661745[/snapback] that's because we live in a country filled with morons 662994[/snapback] I disagree but if your comment were true it would defintely include you. No way is snow better than Delgado.

January 23, 200521 yr When you have a rich daddy and grandfather, you don't need to know how to pronounce Sioux. :plain
