Getslow Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Of course at the other end it's Prospect. It's always bloody Prospect.
nkypete Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I will be the first to notice that Ft. Thomas is smarter than Independence! BTW - I did not live in either city, but I couldn't resist starting some trouble!
Clyde Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I am a little surprised at the Walton 4.1% dropout rate.
mcpapa Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I am a little surprised at so many of the zero dropout rates. Case in point - and not picking on Columbia. But nearly 30% with no degree and zero dropouts? Something seems off.
PepRock01 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Shelbyville is in the top 10, imagine that.
Hellcats Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Garbage click site. Same site posted a similar article last spring with faulty numbers.
mcpapa Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Garbage click site. Same site posted a similar article last spring with faulty numbers. Maybe we can come up with a "Top Ten Dumbest Garbage Click Site on the Internets" study.
Getslow Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Was there a cutoff point for population on this? It's weird to see Greymoor-Devondale, which is an East End Louisville neighborhood, pop up there on its own.
theguru Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Maybe we can come up with a "Top Ten Dumbest Garbage Click Site on the Internets" study. As long as we don't end up on it...
Science Friction Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Forget degrees and dropouts. A much more realistic survey: "Look at the photo below. Do you have a favorable view of this woman and would you vote for this man for President? If you answer "yes" to one or both questions then you are dumb as hell. Answer "yes" to both and you get a bonus question: "Is Duck Dynasty one of your favorite TV shows?" Answer "yes" to that one as well and you face prison time if you ever reproduce again.
oldgrappler Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I didn't read the initial article. Were they basing these findings on posts by BGP-ers from those locations? @theguru, maybe you could list the BGP-ers from the ten dumbest cities in the Blue Grass state.
Science Friction Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I've not been to some of those cities, so I can't comment. London, however, is dumb as hell. Maybe the survey does has some merit.
