I just watched this movie called "The Corporation" - a document discussing how the building of corporations has changed the way we live our lives... definitely a lot a good points discussing how corporations have a way of pillaging everything around them - both the environment and the community. It also tells of how corporations as entities share many of the common traits diagnosed in psychopaths.... kinda off topic, but since you guys brought it up I figured I'd share. Unrelated to the corporation talk… You can make the argument that most dough faces are less intelligent/stupid based on that fact that most never leave the town grew up in. If you have an interest in traveling, it's indicative of the fact that you have an interest in learning because traveling involves exploring new people, cities, cultures… I have met people who have never left the 30 mile radius surrounding the town where they were raised and in my experience, they usually don’t have much to offer in the way of debate or discussion. Typically they stick with the views they were brought up on and get offended if you even want to discuss differences. Additionally, maybe people living in large cities tend to be more worldly and/or educated because they are already immersed in the variety of cultures that surround them. On the other hand, I'll bet more of the uneducated people living in a city like New York, are those that never leave their borough. Last edited by beerchick; 07-14-2008 at 08:29 PM. |

Okay, so you can't say the word 'dumb'. Can you say that, like copying a VCR tape and copying that tape and then copying that tape, these people don't end up with, let's say, the clearest picture?
Are we allowed to say that? |

So you are or you aren't dough faced? I'm confused. You did say that you were talking about where you came from. i just want to clarify. I may also be drunk and misheard/misread, but I won't admit to anything. |

(Some Egyptian Pharaohs married their sisters; in such cases we find a special combination between endogamy and polygamy. Normally the son of the old ruler and the old ruler's oldest (half-)sister became the new ruler. Cleopatra VII and Ptolemy XIII, married and named co-rulers of ancient Egypt following their father's death, were brother and sister. Not only this, but all rulers of the Ptolemaic dynasty from Ptolemy II on engaged in inbreeding among brothers and sisters, so as to keep the Ptolemaic blood "pure".)
The Egyptians, the original Country Dough Faces. Hey worked for them they got the pyramids built. Then again they did have thousands of hebrew slaves....
