Totally agree, but they're all as thick as pig-shit, even the so-called 'educated ones'.
I don't find that to be true at all... what does irritate me is that otherwise intelligent and educated people will keep quiet when brainless idiots spout shit, just because the brainless idiots happen to be older or rank higher.
It's what the 'so-called intellectuals' do when an idea crosses their path, that defines their intellectual stature.

A case in point. Thailand's leading university elects not to allow an Indian Professor to mentor a project. Main reason: Thais are better than Indians - we don't want to lose face.

The Indian happens to be currently mentoring 12 Indians, 4 foreigners - Australia, Japan, UK, SA. He is one of the top names in the world of aeronautics.

The dominant reason the Thais didn't really want him, however, was that he understood the topic - they could not. Period.
