@Taramriel What makes him a snob, his ability to speak well and know how to string more than 3 words together? Whether you like it or not, ALL THE WEST, has been dumbed down not just America. Don't shoot the messenger.

[Cabronosidad]

"When Americans don't know stupid people the country's out of business". Brilliant!

Gore Vidal. Please live forever!

@jbaquinones

I think he's very intelligent but tends to misuse references to some of the great thinkers of history. He takes a quote to justify his argument without giving context to what the speaker meant.
