Ten Surprising Things Kids Knew In 1980 That Kids Don't Have A Clue About Today

As it turns out, kids these days actually do know less than they used to.


Kent State University researchers conducted a study that evaluated the general knowledge of students in the U.S. during the year 2012 by using an exhaustive test first implemented in 1980. The study ranks the most commonly known facts among college students and compares those rankings to their 1980 equivalents.

The Empress on 2011: Part Four

The days leading up to the new year is always a time of reflection.   While this year is no different, 2011 seems to have  prompted many to really dig down deeper than ever before.   The years leading up to this present year no doubt had a great deal to do with this.   To say the very least -- it’s been a rough couple of years!

While each year brings with it a renewed since of hope,  there is something about 2012 that brings an added boost to that feeling.  In truth -- 2012 carries an excitement that causes all other years to pale in comparison.    

Maybe it’s all the “hoopla” surrounding this year that has us all collectively in a tizzy.    I mean, we all have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this particular year for some time now.   Waiting with baited breath to see if the so called “prophecies” are true.  

Speaking of prophecies -- the Mayan calendar-- in no way, shape, form or fashion states that 2012 is the end of the world!  That propaganda  came from the religious fanatics, and passed on by followers of this ill conceived thought!  Propaganda that has been further perpetuated by a certain well known, world wide radio talk show -- whose name shall not be mentioned!

But even still -- there is a certain air surrounding 2012 that is utterly electrifying!

There is no mistaking it -- a  new era of humankind is upon us!  And it is exciting!

In preparation of this exciting new year -- many of us are shedding the dregs of all the years past.  We are consciously leaving behind all that no longer serves us.  In other words --  All that nonsense that happened in 2011 -- stays in 2011! 

This preparation also includes expansion of the education of the masses who are now in the process of waking up!  The few who experienced their awakening many years prior to this time --  who have spent these years leading up to 2012 consciously training -- are now heeding the call to aid those now coming out of their long soul slumber!   


As many of us are aware -- the majority of the earth’s population has been dumbed down to the point of absolute emotional and mental retardation.    Creating a society of needy greedy self entitled drama queens!   Selfishness and self entitlement -- people who actually believe “someone else” should be doing all the work -- and then hand over all their hard earned money and belongings to these lazy, selfish people.    These little nits want what others have -- but don’t want to work for it.  They want it all handed over to them -- because they believe -- actually believe-- they are entitled to it. 

 All this has been made self evident through the media and personal experiences -- both off and on line! 

As an example of this on-going and growing self-entitlement attitude on-line … is Face Book.   There are people who actually believe they have the right to be on your personal page,  a part of your personal network --  whether you want them there or not.  These self entitled needy greedy little drama queens actually are convinced  -- that they have the right say whatever they want; do whatever they want -- and you’re suppose to just sit back and allow it.    In fact, they have this attitude that YOU should be grateful that they are there. 

People who go along with this mind set try to make others feel bad for removing these assholes.  They use passive manipulation; or in some instances out right admonition for doing so.    

Been seeing this run rampant throughout this social network.  No doubt it is happening in other networks of this ilk -- wouldn’t know -- don’t visit those.  Don’t care to either.

This entire dumbing down of the masses has been deliberately orchestrated by those who wish to keep the populace in control!  Why?  Because those in so called control know their time is limited -- and it is running out!

Those of us who have managed to stay alert, awake and do not succumb to the idiot factor -- we have a huge task ahead of us!   To quote Master Teacher Jesus -- “the need is great -- but the workers are few!”


Hopefully -- 2012 will bring about a stronger conscious awareness and people, for the most part, will not only WAKE UP … but GROW UP!

I got Hopes … HIGH Hopes!

Counting down to 2012 -- and to a Great Era of MASS AWAKENING!

The Empress on 2011: Part Three

I am sorry to report that in 2011 we saw an increase of “reality” TV shows.    Which is proof positive of how utterly dumbed down the majority has gotten!  As if there weren’t enough distractions  -- we are now bombarded by trashy television shows that have the audacity to call themselves “reality” TV.    And don’t even get me started on those ridiculous, badly slammed together  paranormal shows.  

It has gotten so bad, I don’t even own a television any more!  Why bother?  All the good decent shows are all but disappeared.  And what shows were good and entertaining can now be found on the internet.  Or if you still have a television you can purchase them on DVD. 

2011 has also seen the rise of what I like to call ...  the "Stuck on Stupid Syndrome" or S.O.S.S. for short!    

Where else but on a planet taken over by the utterly stupid can you find a law that clearly prohibits TEXTING ON A CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING???!!! 

If you weren’t stupid to begin with -- you wouldn’t have to be told that texting and/or talking on the telephone is  a really stupid idea!  And there wouldn't have been a need to pass a  law to  prohibited it!   But Stupid people have to be told it’s not a good idea --- that it‘s really stupid To TEXT and/or TALK on the telephone  while driving … because they are STUPID!

Same thing with drinking booze and driving.  People too stupid to know if you are drinking,  it slows down and messes up your reactions.  What really amazes me is the drunks who are so drunk they can't stand but still believe they can drive a car!  STUPID!  Tellin' ya! 

Then there are the stupid people who like to pretend they are clever.  They're the ones that will explain to you that talking to someone in the car  next to you is distracting and that having children in the car is distracting.     My reply to that line of logic?  If you are THAT easily distracted -- then you don't need to be driving in the first damn place because you are apparently too damn stupid to focus on what is important!

Wit respect to that very "clever statement" ... I do have a few suggestions though (of course I do!).


If the kids are the cause of said distraction -- you know they are ill behaved -- you know they are going to act up while you are driving you can either (1) do what our parents did and pull over; (2)  threaten them with bodily harm or knock them upside their heads or BOTH; or (3) duct tape them together and toss them in the back seat;  or (4) just  leave them at home!

If you have a friend and/or family member who is a virtual chatty cat -- and you know they are a chatty cat -- and you know they will distract you with all their chatting --- you can (1) threaten to throw them out; (2) throw them out; (3) duct tape up and toss'em in the back seat; or (4) just leave them at home!

Actually if you are among the truly stuck on stupid -- it's just best you stay at home and watch your stupid "reality tv shows!  It's best for all involved really!

Of course, stupid people are not going to do any of that.  Rather than  taking any steps that remotely resemble intelligent and responsible actions-- they prefer risking life and limb of not only themselves -- but that of innocent by standers!  Which of course results in life altering injuries, unnecessary deaths and MORE DAMN LAWS!

Now ... If you still believe there are no stuck on stupid people on this planet -- I will refer to all those  labels that had to be placed on certain products to keep the stupid people from harming themselves--and each other.    It's been an on-going problem for years!   And now -- they have slowly taken over the entire planet -- and gaining in numbers!

Proof positive that stupid people have taken over the planet, and continue to breed like rabbits, is based on this one all important fact -- and it as follows ....  long ago,  you were hard pressed to find more than two village idiots at any given time!   Now ... its the other way around!  NOW you are hard pressed to find more than two NON-STUCK ON STUPID people in the same village.  In some instances -- the entire village  is nothing BUT idiots! 

Those of us who have any measure of good sense, any level of comprehension skills pass the kindergarten level,  and any type of logical and analytical abilities,  can now consider themselves  on the Endangered Species list!

Unfortunately, the American government has seen fit to close down the space program.  So we're stuck on this rock until one of us comes up with a serum that cures stupidity or builds an outer space Noah's Ark so we non stuck on stupid types can haul ass!


*~*~*~*~*~*


Hopefully, 2012 will be the year  our old friends Good Sense (formerly known as "common" sense), Common Courtesy and Logic will return.   After all, 2012 is being hailed as the year of enlightenment!  So there is hope!  

Yea ... I know!  I'm a dreamer!
