It's other faggots on this board that push for some America vs The World war.  It's fucking stupid.


Yeah, put the average American puts gasolin on the fire..

ok seriously...americans are stupid...to a point. we dont pay as much attention to the important shit...most base their mind capacity on sports and women. but the fact is (and some will know where im getting this arguement) americans can retain shit loads of facts. thats the reason that millions of men around the world know the final score of the yankees vs. the mariners game on july 3rd, 1988.

you constantly see trivia shows where people go on and spout off hundereds of facts about sports and movies and music. americans are damn smart...but the facts that are put into our head are different from the facts that are put into foreign heads. our media is so polluted with bullshit that we forget that there is a world outside of that box we call a tv.

but why is everyone blaming americans for this? seriously you can think about that and say "oh yeah its their fault they are all dumb because they choose not to pay attention to the important stuff"...well thats not true...if that were true then the majority of americans wouldnt be like that. its an attention span thing. americans are raised different from say...europeans. europeans are raised to be more into the important things whereas americans grow up with sesame street, southpark, and the O.C. our school system is horribly fucked yes. we are definetely not #1 in education but we get some amazing people coming from our country. the fact is its not fair to blame americans as a whole for something that isnt their fault.

You're on target except on education.  While our highschools are shit our universitys are excellent.

^^^ high school is where kids get most of their knowledge. high school is what raises the kids. not the parents, the teachers. high school is where you learn about everything you need to know about to survive the world of adulthood. and yet we fund our university's insanely and our high schools barely get shit. my high school had leaky roofs, shitty teachers, bathrooms with yellow toilets that used to be white, rusty pipes which gave us rusty water, and barely any rooms had heat. and they wonder why i had such a hard time paying attention...i could barely stay alive during class.

The average American doesn't want to hear someone saying, "Fuck America!   It's a shit country."  That's the tone that comes out of this place.  

And of course we're going to respond.   The thought is who the fuck are you fucking with?

I'm not trying to convince anybody.  When I'm slammed, I slam back.  When have I ever attacked another person's country? I could care less what happens in Norway.  If you came on here and said NORWAY WAS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, I wouldn't say shit.  why? Because it's NATURAL for you to love your country.  Even a dog knows how to be loyal.

^^^ see i was raised in a great town, a great state and yet my school was horrible because we had no funding. thats what keeps us from being number one in education. if all high schools were:

heated
well built
well lit
had teachers who enjoyed their job
had much more lenient discipline policies
and had books made in the last 10 years

we could really be in the top. but a lot of our schools have none of those...my history book was from the 70's....my history book was history dammit.

Yeah, actually Norway IS the greatest country in the world, but we also learned to be humble, so I won't go into detail..  ;D

Living standards? Who the fuck cares? America can kill more people in the shortest amount of time. Top that bitch.
