I said it before and I’ll say it again: Lynndie England has a glorious career in pr0n awaiting her.
(bolding mine)
So the standard for joining hasn’t gotten any lower, but the number of recruits who barely meet the standard is a lot higher than previously required.
For which part? Her low IQ was mentioned in almost all reports when the story broke, she’s hills of Kentucky born, mountains of WV bred which = hick. The inbred part is the only questionable part, and my money’s on a straight line family tree just by looking at her.
And for her to do porn it would have to be on some sort of niche site- manly looking girls or something.

Read my posts carefully. 
I said that you can easily imagine situations wherein one might reasonably wish a story go unreported even as one recognizes it can not go unreported due to (in my words) “the very mission” of the news agencies. Perhaps the reporting of the story will, in the short term, in measurable terms, do more harm than good, even though in the long term, in less measurable terms, it is better that news agencies do their reporting without restriction.
England apparently thinks this is such a case. To think this is not appalling in and of itself.
She apparently also does not understand the importance (or perhaps the nature) of the mission of the news agencies. Smart educated people tend to forget this is a somewhat sophisticated concept, though. It is similar to the liberal doctrine of the marketplace of ideas–another idea whose sophistication often goes unrecognized. (How is it similar? Both centrally involve the fact that it is important that dissenters be allowed to express their view, even when the measurable immediate consequences of this expression are negative overall.) These two ideas are engrained into most of us from childhood in a way such that they become nearly reflexive thoughts. This is probably a good thing, but it tends to make us forget there are other ways to think, and that our way of thinking actually has a somewhat complicated conceptual history behind it–one that is not that easy to grasp naturally, if one has somehow missed the education train. Because of this, I can not find it “appalling” if someone hasn’t grasped it.*
Every sentence in this paragraph is true. That you would think I would think otherwise is symptomatic of the inexplicable policy most people on this board have of not reading for understanding before they fire off their post.

*Full disclosure: It may be that my years of experience reading truly breathtakingly appallingly stupid comments by college students taking philosophy classes to “fulfill a requirement” has caused me to adjust my appall-o-meter.
Again, cite?
Willfully obtuse? Bringing up two completely unrelated names in a thread? And misspelling one of the names?
::shudder::
Indeed. Not to mention the distorting effects of PTSD of the mind.
Get a life- are you seriously questioning her IQ or her birth state or where she was raised, or that she had a lower class upbringing? Go to her freaking wikipedia page or google Lynddie England IQ. :rolleyes:
Well based on your name you’re just a tiny drunken mick then right? Or maybe just a little bampot.
Heh. She does have experience in encouraging guys to jerk off, doesn’t she.
Aside from the topic of this thread: what is the deal exactly with asking for cites for things that have been well publicized and/or are common knowledge? Not trying to jump on anyone. But I can’t see asking for a cite in this case. Is it just that you who are asking for a cite have not heard this said about her? Okay maybe not the “inbred” part but I took that as a Pit-style insult, not a declaration of fact.
What’s the “rule” for these kinds of things?
Funny 
, but not really relevant. Am I taking crazy pills? Two people here are actually requesting cites that she’s a poor mountain chick with a two digit IQ? Really? Ok you got me I’m lying- she’s really the daughter of a shipping tycoon and a former Miss Universe, raised in Beverly Hills and summered in the Hamptons, and a Mensa member with a degree in aeronautical enginnering :dubious:
Sorry, PTSD? What’s that mean?

ETA: I looked it up. Heh. Yeah. 
I guess I just find it offensive that just because she’s not the smartest knife in the drawer, you need to slam a whole region. Not everyone who lives in the mountains of West Virginia or Kentucky is an inbred hick. Even the stupid ones.
How long have YOU been here? YOU google it. YOU make a claim, it’s up to YOU to prove it-not for others to search for it.
And yes, I am questioning it. I’m supposed to take YOUR word as proof?
You’d have a valid point if I had said anything like that- I made no reference to anyone else in the region except her. Johnny Depp is the total opposite of a hick, and he was born in Owensboro Kentucky.
You may find it mildly amusing that, in composing that sentence, I dithered for a bit between “of the mind” and “on the mind” – could go either way, eh?
I’ll provide you with proof only if you confirm that you’ve lived in a cave since the story on her broke several years ago- anyone with access to a TV or radio or internet or newspaper was bombarded with the details of her background for weeks. I’m not making a “claim”, I’m citing something that’s as well known to any sensible person as the Earth is the third planet from the sun.
Asking for a cite on this makes you look either ignorant or difficult.
sigh I give up.
