If State Signs Were More Truthful

Some state signs don't seem to prepare tourists for the state they're about to enter. So here are some more realistic state signs.

    So, we're not the U.S.A. if our president is someone with an I.Q. over 80? I guess the rednecks really do have problems electing anyone smarter than them.

    That must be from the combination of great education and your impressive intellect.

    It is beautiful, but I must wholeheartedly disagree about the educational system. Having transferred to the University of Arkansas after attending another state institution, I was dismayed by not only the inefficiency of the University, but also the relative lack of interest in the students. In my time there (2 years):
    - the director of my program introduced himself to me 5 times, even though I was active in clubs and was in the top 5% of the class
    -they admitted me under the wrong major, and then told me that they couldn't fix it
    - I was told I couldn't graduate with honors because I was a transfer student and didn't have half of my credits there- this was false, and by the time I realized it I was a senior and it was too late to do a senior thesis. I graduated with a GPA that would have qualified me for Magna Cum Laude, and yet I have no honors. As a professional continuing to get her doctorate, I will NEVER NEVER forgive them for this.
    - I was told that I couldn't transfer any of my English courses, despite being an English major for 3 years prior, because my prior courses were not of the same standards of ScrewofA, so that I would have to retake nearly 21 English credits
    - I was given the wrong registration date 4 times in a row
    - I was told I didn't pass a writing test and that I would need to take an additional writing course, despite earning a 6/6 on the analytical writing section of the GRE, and maintaining a 4.0 GPA in my English courses from my other University (which was not a no-name institution)...
    This list goes on and on. It truly was one of those “If I had only known” circumstances. I moved to Arkansas at the request of my parents (who had recently moved there). Had I not, I would have graduated in 2 years with 2 degrees. Thanks to transfer and petition nightmares, I graduate in 5 years with 1 degree and one minor. I will never recommend that anyone be educated in the state of Arkansas, at least not in the higher institutions. My final years of college were not marked by excitement, they were marked by the absolute inefficiency of that University, and I will never return, nor will I recommend anyone enroll. If you live in the state, it is worth the money to pay twice as much to go out of state to ensure you are getting a good education- unless of course, you’re an athlete! They definitely pride sports over higher learning there. Pity- I thought that transferring would be good for me as I am in a Humanities/Social Science field, and they were supposedly founded, in part, on principles of Senator Fulbright…what a joke! I will say one thing for them- they have a good French department. That’s…about…it.
    The hill can go to hell as far as I’m concerned.

    you clearly can't read:

    Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.

    I doesn't say mandatory... and you forgot to mention there is a tax credit!... btw.. it's good to see a President reminding people to make sure they help the country and their fellow man/woman.... is that so wrong? really? I thought that was a good thing to do... hmm.. I guess getting a tax break for doing a good thing must be the wrong part...

    I do and Obama will soon show that he can only hurt our economy. Handouts and entitlements are just that.

    Whose plan was the 500 billion dollar bail-out again?

    There are already high schools who require community service hours before you can graduate.
