Why does it seem like the most vocal people are often times not very educated?

Easy. The media plays a large part in their view of the situation.

I think educated people realize that they're not going to change anything by complaining about it.

Crazy is kinda like sex. It sells. That's why reality TV is so popular.

Lol.. no that isn't what I'm saying. I'm not saying I'm super-educated or anything... but I can look objectively at myself and know my place. I know when I'm ignorant about something.

But you see all these people on TV everyday hooping and hollering about something like they are so sure of themselves when they don't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed.

i think that is because those people probably don't think before they speak, so they end up spouting out whatever is on their mind at that exact moment. maybe if they took time to think about what they're saying they might sound more intelligent, or who knows, maybe they would still sound just as stupid.

And rats. They're actually self-aware. Don't know how they figured that out, but they are.

Easy.

Many of the most vocal and obnoxious people tend to be so vocal and obnoxious because they don't know enough to realize that they really don't know ****.

"Coming up next, a well rounded individual with an open mind gives an opinion slap-bang in the grey area." or "Coming up next, Frederick von Crazypants reveals Obama to actually be Xenu." Which sells more?

...he who knows the least screams the loudest (I see that all the time...IRL and online).
I feel bad when I have to correct them though. It is so sad watching their world crumble. But it is a tough job and someone has to do it.

Same reason Tea Party freaks yell and scream at town hall meetings - makes them feel important.

lasseeb

That is not my intent. I'm still in college, I'm not super-educated.

My point is that all of these people you see screaming their opinions on TV aren't people you'd think of as being "educated". I never see people who are caught up in hysteria who seem to be smart, rational people.
