Americans over 50 are worse than younger people at telling facts from opinions, according to a new study by Pew Research Center.
Given 10 statements, five each of fact and opinion, younger Americans correctly identified both the facts and the opinions at higher rates than older Americans did. Forty-four percent of younger people identified all five opinions as opinions, while only 26 percent of older people did. And 18-to-29-year-olds performed more than twice as well as the 65+ set. Of the latter group, only 17 percent classified all five facts as factual statements.

Get the national kiss short people daymug. Verb- to be common-peopled is to go out with or date someone who is richer than you or from a more wealthy background than you. It is a reference to the Pulp song 'Common People' where Jarvis Cocker starts seeing a wealthy girl who wants to 'live like common people' and 'sleep with common people like you'.
She totally common-peopled me, her parents bought her a flat in Notting Hill.
Mate, you're gonna get common-peopled, she comes from Greece and studies sculpture at St Martins.

Get the throw tall people daymug. A derogatory term for wealthy powerful unscrupulous men. May have racial overtones for those in the Middle East. It's origin is the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident journalist was assassinated by agents of the Saudi government at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. He was chopped up with a bonesaw.
The businessman depends on his deals with 'bonesaw people', 'Thiel-lites?' and others who have spare wealth.
