 True story. I have no idea of the state of the EU today, as I could care less.

Uh-oh!  U meant "couldn't care less"!  -10 Points in the grammar rodeo!  U now have no reason to h8 on those who use 'u' in place of 'you'!

2 bad 4 U!

No man, I have to take those points back. You see, my logic with the whole couldn't care less/could care less thing is as follows: If I couldn't care less about something, I have taken my feelings of not caring as far as they can possibly go. But if I could care less about something, I have potentially taken them EVEN further than not being able to care less about them, but I haven't really taken the time to consider just how much I don't care about them simply because they are not worth my time to to waste it trying to assess exactly how much I do not care for them. Make sense? You see, it isn't the superlative of not caring, because I care about it so little, I do not wish to take the time to figure out the most superlative term to apply to it. Examples: "Dude, that movie really FREAKIN' SUCKED! I cannot even begin to explain how horrendously awful that steaming pile of dog turd of a film was!" Here I am going out of my way to explain how much I disliked this film. I honestly couldn't care less for it, I dislike it to the extreme, and I am willing to really take my time to let others know how much I don't like it. An example of being able to care less would be you and your buddy are talking and he say, "Man, I saw that movie the other day and it really, really, really, really, --" and you interupt him and say, "Dude, you wanna go Applebees and get an onion blossom?" You could probably care less about the movie your buddy is talking about, if you wanted to, but your just that much more content to not even consider it and to just go eat an onion.

Soooo, I'll be retracting that 10 points from the grammar rodeo...

TOO bad for YOU, eh?
