There's nothing funny about the dire levels of education and intelligence in the US.

I can't be bothered to google it, but is the US still putting flouride in the water supply? I saw a program about how it's a waste product from the aluminium and nuclear industries and instead of paying a whole lotta money to dispose of it safely, big business got their friends in government to let them dump it in the water supply, 'cos it's good for your teeth.
Shoowa, it impairs brain function as well as having so many other side affects. Great work USA, keep 'em dumb and keep 'em down.

Hey Robski!
We got enough Yank-bashing threads going now - is this why your over here from TV?

Enough already...

Robski · 29-08-2007, 07:19 PM

Errr....!? Yep, it's not too challenging and there's a continuous supply of material.
I guess it must be true about the flouride then... bit of a touchy subject is it?
Got anything to do with 'w' and his daddy perhaps?

The BIGGEST critics of Americans are Americans themselves. Come on, everyone's embarrassed by this teen USA thing. Big deal, it's still the most powerful hyperpower ever on the history of the planet. Anyone want to dispute that?

thaibook · 31-08-2007, 06:05 PM

YouTube - Americans are NOT stupid - WITH SUBTITLES

Welcome back Facebook....here is something people should take a look at! Pretty interesting if you ask me...

I would've said the British Empire was more powerful relatively speaking.

**anyway, it doesn't matter because the Brits and Yanks are on the same side irrevocably anyway.

That's an interesting issue and has been the subject of many academic debates. I think the current consensus is that relatively speaking, British Empire might have been slightly more powerful.

In absolute terms, nobody can argue with the economic, political and military might of the US today.

If you're referring to the Jurrasic Park fellas, yeah, they ruled. If you're referring to the Italian Dinos, such as the Roman Empire, that's usually ranked 3rd or so in world history.

blackgang · 31-08-2007, 06:45 PM

You do know that more than 1/5th of the people that graduate high school any more can not even read a newspaper, something to do with Equal Opportunity or something, lowering the entrance exam scores for the minorities and no child left behind thingy.

So everything figured in, I think that 1/5th is pretty good.

thaibook · 31-08-2007, 06:56 PM

^ Right, I am not a huge inter-American traveller and have not visited many places throughout the country. What I can say, I went to a mediocore school - I would say that 100% could read a newspaper and a similar amount could point out the USA on the map...if these stats are true, where are all these Americans hiding?
