Yup, it's definitely no wonder that most of Europe looks down on the Us citizents.
I mean some of you guys are defending waterboarding because other nations have raped children? damn, how about looking into your own army, there was a report released some two weeks ago stating that over 20% of all the female soldiers staioned in Afghanistan and Iraq, since the beginning of the "crusade", were raped by their own comrades. On duty.
You americans can be just as big monsters as any other nation but the difference is that you have enough power to sweep it under the rug or at least sugarcoat it. Remember those WMD's in Iraq? riighht.........
Oh and what vlad said, statistically he did give the Us more than what a statistical american could give with the same time spent on educating himself. You REALLY do have a quite poor educational system compared to most of Europe. It's only the universities that stand out and even there a crapload of students are from overseas. |
Yeah like we need a Polish guy to talk about the level of intelligence of people in the US. Having much trouble screwing in the light bulbs, budd

Well, I could give two craps in a fountain. Me, a racist? Yeah, right. I live in a state that predominantly voted for Hilary in the primary and for John Mccain in the general election. And where out of 10,000 people living in the county where I live and where there were six Mccain / Palin signs lined up in a row as soon as you hit the main road to head down to to the main polling station, I was one of only 800 people to vote for Obama. Yeah, that makes me a big racist.
However, when someone goes out of their way to insult the greatest country on earth and its people's level of intelligence, then I will do the same thing. And, I'm not going to be all pc and nicey-nicey about it.
Does my name conjure up an image of someone who loves to play in fields of flowers with bunny rabbits and fairies?

So why is it that in the computing, math, and physics international olympiads the Americans aren't at the top, sometimes far from it? In fact the best they perform in, the math one, more than half the team is made up of immigrants or children of immigrants.

Not to add insult to injury, but the US is severly behind in the education front. In fact, it is in a dire need to ramp up its education system or risk losing its status of a world power in the same way the Romans did; not primarily due to barbarians (or terrorists), not due to inner-conflicts, and not even due to incompetency solely, but a combination of all of the above. Basically, deterioratiing within itself.
American is severly behind in the language department (particularly in reading comprehension), behind in science (the majority still don't believe in evolution), and the best position that we are in the world, which is mathematics, we are in 32nd place! The top countries in all subjects are either Northern European (like Finland and Norway) or Asian countries like Japan.
If America falls behind in all of these categories, generations from now the future leaders of America will basically be incompetents compared to other leaders, be taken advantage of and slowly destroy itself.
Of course, this is basically a cycle that repeats itself throughout history; once you are in the top, the youth doesn't feel like they have to do much to stay healthy, wealthy and happy, so they work less and less with their body and esp. the brains, and screw the future generations until their nation collapses within itself. It was bound to happen sooner or later.
