Don't forget psy that 44 of the top 100 universities of the world are American Universities. Whilst we do have the average unmotivated dullards who drop out, or do the bare minimum to get by there are plenty of hard working kids who want to get educated. The American education system is superior in the sense that we don't train kids to regurgitate crap like a trained monkey. Go check out the so called Japanese system of education and along with the majority of the more developed Asian countries.
Europe has a swell education system, but given they haven't won a war yet that they haven't started I just don't hold my breathe that they will go the distance as time goes on. Europeans are lazier than Americans, they work less, and European women are still treated as inferior by products of the workplace.
Don't crap on America just because some bleeding hearts cried about some retarded football players in Cleveland not knowing what state they are in. Of course most footballers won't know what state they are in. They play football for a reason, they simply haven't the mental capacity to function well enough to understand complex things like the Alphabet.
Next a book released to the European audience isn't going to do much for the American TBS problem. Anyone who has any sense will know that their is this rather large ocean in between the two continents. Simple geography makes it difficult for Europeans to do much about the problem. Releasing books, movies, articles, and other multimedia materiels in the United States creates a wider body of literature to dispell the myths surrounding TBS programs. The more people here about "ongoing" abuses in programs the more relavent it is to them. Rather than regurgitating the same tired old lists to people who have had their senses numbed by looking at lists such as the Vietnam War Memorial, try to keep the events current and local if at all possible.
Okey dokey. I was not crapping on America TSW. I assume that is you with the "bleeding hearts" expression. If you want you can blame the liberals (rightly) for the pathetic state of public school education. ("Oh we can't have them getting bad grades, it would hurt their feewings") Since when is critique, or pointing out that the emperor has no clothes on, taking a dump on America?
Also, the whole European winning war thing is kind of stupid. If the United States had not intervened in WWII, or WWI,
a european country would have won the war. There are no winners in war. Sure we're the best in the world at blowing shit up but has it really done that much good? Has it really made us popular? Is that what you really want our country to be known for? It's war making capability?
Europeans are not lazier, they just have not let themselves become slaves to the wage yet. They know when to relax and take things easy. As far as the glass cieling goes, when was the last time you saw a female president elected? A female prime minister? Thought so.
I lived in europe for a good portion of my life and most of what Americans think about other countries is nationalist propoganda they have been spoonfed since a very early age. (Our country is the best in the world, and all other countries should be like us bla bla bla") It's an arrogant attitude which is
disasterous when applied to foreign policy. For example see Iraq, or the nation building experiment before that, Cuba. Gee that one turned out swell. Read your history.
George Bush is an asshole, and an idiot, and Hillary is a machivellian bitch who i wouldn't trust to walk my dog. Please cut the partisan crap out on both sides of this. Can we just put aside our petty political bitching for just a few moments and
actually productively explore some options about what is really important here: trying to stop institutionalized abuse by creating a loud enough noise.
