1) All men are created equal.

Very, very true. Skin color, nationality, etc. does not matter. I rate it a 5.

2) Girls should act like girls.

Heck no! If a girl wants to act like a boy and play football and not be afraid of getting dirty, it's wonderful. I rate this a 0, I disagree with it too passionately to rate it a one.

3) It's okay to be different.

Three letters. Y. E. S. 5.

4) Nobody is all bad or all good.

Tell this to the popular kids at school. 3.

5) Some words are so offensive that they should never be stated or written.

Purlease, words are just words. I really don't understand how curse words became to be bad, they're just words, they can't hurt you. 1.

6) The old adage, "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you," is true.

Mmhmm. 4.

7) Speaking standard grammar proves that a person is smart.

Not necessarily, many of my teachers and peers make grammatical errors and most of the people I hang out with are bloody brilliant. 2.

8 ) A hero is born, not made.

Quite frankly, you're not going to be much of a hero if you haven't gone through at least a few levels of education, which you can't do at birth, though I do suppose genetics come into the mix somewhere. 2.

9) Education is the great equalizer.

Due to my "dumbrearness", I have no idea what the heck this means. :)

1) All men are created equal.

2 I mean, where does it say the word, WOMAN in there?

2) Girls should act like girls.

1 I mean, I'm a girl, and I hate sports, but most of my friends who are girls do them... And some of my friends who are girls wear NOTHING but sweatshirts and jeans...

3) It's okay to be different

2 Like Dawn said, someone should tell this to the popular kids...

4) Nobody is all bad or all good.

3 I personally think some people are MOSTLY bad, but not all... just... misguided...

5) Some words are so offensive that they should never be stated or written.

2 Words that are racial terms, and stuff like that shouldn't be used, but just cuss words, that's fine...

6) The old adage, "Sticks and stones may break you bones, but words will never hurt you," is true.

1 I know for a FACT that isn't true!!!!!

7) Speaking standard grammar proves that a person is smart.

1 Another thing that I know for a fact isn't true... I have an 160-so IQ, and I use words such as confuzzled and stuff...

8 ) A hero is born, not made.

1 Nope! Need I say more?

9) Education is the great equalizer.

1 Another one I don't think is at all true... Just because everyone is educated, doesn't mean people won't discriminate against stupider people...

9) Education is the great equalizer.

the wise man knows not to put it into a fruit salad. 1
