Selective Illiteracy Syndrome is a serious mental/moral impairment which afflicts individuals who disagree with something but do not examine the presented evidence in support of what they differ with -not because they can’t read- they habitually choose to NOT honestly read out of an irrational paralysing fear that those they disagree with just might be right!
Usually employed by contrarians, internet atheists, trolls and the lazy.

C: You said you wanted proof for my position. Here is all the verifiable evidence that I could find.

Get the Selective Illiteracy Syndrome mug.1.) The current generation of teenagers that have little to no education whatsoever, and strictly (STRICTLY) refuse to get any of said education, or a job which requires such education.
2.) A steadily increasing number of teenagers that type/text things with unspeakably hideous grammar, replacing easy to spell words, such as "Are" and "Too/to/two" with "R/r" and "2", respectively.
3.) 90% of the teenagers in high/middle schools, and, unfortunately, soon to be elementary schools, commonly seen with a plastic bottle filled with a tiny bit of liquid (like sweet tea or soda) to give the impression that they are drinking it, when they are really using it as a "Spitter" for their disgusting chew tobacco, or "Snuff". Also known for never brushing their teeth. EVER.

1. From the letter A through to the letter Z, the authors of this website's content have done nothing but show to the world that they are in fact......illiterate. All synonms apply.
2. When our country routinely ranks 24th (or worse) amongst the top 25 industrialized nations of the world in academic ability, why do we glorify that which is so grossly illiterate and ignorant. Do we really want to become a nation so inable to compete in global markets that our grandchildren /great-grandchildren will work for a bowl of rice a day? It WILL be our fate unless we start raising our standards. Including our humor.
It starts in the gutter, raise it out of the gutter and everything else becomes elevated. It has to start somewhere, why not here?
3. As citizens of a free (kind of) nation
we have the absolute right to be ignorant and illiterate. But why would we want to? I don't get it.
