Thought this was absolutely hilarious…

A study condudcted by the University of Chicago’s School for Behavioural Science found that 38% of Americans are “neither entitled nor qualified to have opinions.”

The following is a quote from research Professor Mark Fultze who conducted the study:

“On topics from evolution to the environment to gay marriage to immigration reform, we found that many of the opinions expressed were so off-base and ill-informed that they actually hurt society by being voiced…While people have long asserted that it takes all kinds, our research shows that American society currently has a drastic oversupply of the kinds who don’t have any good or worthwhile thoughts whatsoever. We could actually do just fine without them.”

EDIT: yes, this is from The Onion and it is a satirical report.
