Comment Re:How Gifted? (Score 1) 215

No one is calling these kids geniuses or super-geniuses, they are simply calling them gifted. And by gifted, they mean almost as smart as the average person was 100 years ago. So, by being labeled gifted, these kids may be lucky enough to get just a little bit less indoctrination of nationalistic claptrap and just a little bit more time learning how to memorize slightly deeper bullshit. Are they learning how to learn? Are they expanding their own personal ability to achieve? Not likely. If these parents think their kids are so freaking smart and don't want the schools lumping them with the booger-eating masses, then they should take them out of public school altogether.

Obviously you guys were so scarred by Highlander 2 that you forgot to include it. That movie is so bad that it reaches back in time and ruins the first movie, dare I say, in a worse way than Star Wars Ep 1. If you've never seen Highlander 2, please don't. I wish I could go back in time and not watch it myself.
