(493 posts)means that you think the average citizen is dumb? I mean I equated a pig farmer being able to bake bread just as likely possible as an average citizen. And you know what a pig farmer is pretty much an average citizen. And if you picked 100 pig farmers and 100 citizens and asked "who bakes their own bread" I am pretty sure that the percentages will be close to the same. So with this said, I will say it again:
A pig farmer knows as much about baking bread as the average citizen.
You have equated the average citizen as being "dumb" for some reason. Words have meaning, please understand. One does not simply let words fall from their mouth for them to not have meaning. Now if you are confused by my statement then I will say it again:
A pig farmer knows as much about baking bread as the average citizen.
Now in a different light:
A Pig Farmer knows as much about playing football as the average citizen.
Now that does not look derogatory at all now does it, but some reason when the statement was made earlier you were offended and went on attack. When you were hearing only what you wanted to hear vs listening to what was said. You created an entirely different meaning in your own head. Now I wonder why that is? I'll give ya a guess as I am pretty confident in the "Why".
