possible JT award at the end of the year?

i jest. i did get really worked up about this last night. i have friends both in real life and over the web and it pains me to see their country sold down the shitter by the oblivious masses. on another politics board i post on it's VERY partisan and as soon as i mentioned i have a polisci and history degree including a shitload of stuff of geopolitics, IR, global terrorism and politics of the US these people round on me as if i'm some elitist wanker with no real life experience.

it seems they genuinely have an issue with people who are informed on the matters of which they are not.
