They know so much about us!

Yeah, I find it sad that if I asked someone off the street where the Ural Mountains are, they'd probably say, "Colorado?"

It's because the government wants the schools to focus on American history and why we're so great, so there's not enough time to learn about everything else unless you take the initiative yourself.

Its because Americans think they are top shit and just dont care what happens elsewhere.

Its not like Amara or me or others only know whats where in the US, we generally know whats where everywhere. We just care more about the world on a global scale, where as Americans only care about the United States.

:thumb: Precisley. It's simply a combination of laziness and ignorance which many Americans suffer from. I could point out most countries on a map within seconds but a lot of Americans may not even know a country like Peru, for instance, exists. Sad really.

Check the bold. Your statement is as contradictive as a married bachelor. :)

I knew some fuckhead was gonna say I was contradicting myself. What I meant though, was most canadians that i've spoken with.

Look at the (lack of) knowledge of the President...i think that says a lot.

the president is actually a pretty smart guy. the man went to yale for crying out loud. just cause in the past he wasnt that great at speaking in front of people doesnt make him dumb. i hate speaking in front of people and about piss my pants any time i have to give a speach in front of 15 people. he has gotten much better at speaking.

i'm sure bush is smart enough not to go to a museum and look at the display of a mummy and say "thats a good looking mummy, if that mummy were alive i believe i would date that mummy" like one of out more discraceful presidents.
 
No offence to Americans.

But a lot of US citizens are very Xenophobic. The majority holiday in the US and are ignorant to other countries.

I know where a lot of American States are on the map, and I can pretty much point out any country in the world. And that's without studying Geography at School. If I had off done, I'd know a lot more.

It's the American way. Most Americans dont know about America let alone the world.

I bet someone from California would have great trouble finding Rhode Island or Delaware on a map.

Geroge W Bush went to Yale because he was intelligent or because of daddy? Check his grades.

The 'I can talk in front of people'(whoopty-fucking-doo) argument has been put forward before - Jokerman?? - & wasn't too effective then & it is still weak now.

Being smarter than someone else does not make you smart.

Anyhoo, if you want to speak at length, WoW is the place.

"I'm tired of people defending Bush. He's a moron. Period. What difference does it make if he graduated from Harvard, Yale or MIT for that matter? Just because you graduate from an accredited university doesn't mean that you're suddenly void of giving a bad speech. It doesn't make you impervious to mistakes. I'm tired of people saying "just because he talks slow doesn't mean he's stupid." Bullshit. There's talking slow, then there's just plain ineptitude. It's almost impossible to do a critical analysis of his speech because the man practically satirizes himself."
 
look i dont like the guy that much myself. but he really isnt that bad of a president. too many people want another answer than the ones were given. me too. but we wont get them any time soon, or ever. maybe the wmd thing was bullshit. maybe the moved them out of their into another country, like iran, or syria. but some of the worlds most notorious gagnsters, and yes they were gangsters, are dead, or put behind bars.

the people of iraq are better off. the people of afganstan are better off. and yea they do have insurgents and their own national terrorist but you know what. so do we in the US. they may be more underground now, but 100 years ago they were fighting, lyinching, and burning crosses on peoples yards trying to push fear into their lives. things got better in due time in this country and they will over there.

what difference does it make that he grad form yale. a big diff. yale isnt that easy to get into. and isnt that easy to graduate from.

look i have nothing agaisnt you amerikasmost, but you need to understand that you are 18. most 18 year olds think they know everything. you know what i know now that i am 22 that i didnt know when i was 18? i know that when i was 18 i didnt know jack shit, and neither do any other 18 year old in this country or around the world for that matter.

i'm tired of people saying that bush is stupid because, jay leno, david lettermen, jimmy kemmel, john stewart, and other comedians make fun of him. all these people that say bush is stupid have never seen anyone hannity & colmes interviews he does. they dont listen to his radio addresses. they dont really listen to his whole speach, the listen to the parts that are taken out of CONTEXT!

George W Bush got into Yale with poorer qualifications than other potential canditates.

He scraped by, getting some really shit grades.

When you come from a rich & esteemed family, there aren't many institutions you'll find it hard to gain entry to.
 
Ya know this talk about money made me think of bill gates...The reason he stays rich is because wherever this guy goes ppl wanna make a good impression on him so they buy him stuff ha...He never has to pay 4 dinner...LOL
 
at least he didnt fail or drop out. i'm sure yale isnt easy. and yes it was easier for bush to go to yale considering his father and grandfather both attended. i'm sure the family name helped a little bit. but he still graduated. he had to have learned a few things along the way other than how to get drunk.
 
^or cheated, had the exams in forhand. Daddy is ex top CIA i wouldnt be surprised :D

j/k

but what did he major?
 
What I dont get is... why doesnt America just nuke every other fuckin country, ship the survivors into the states, and force them to live like us to lessen the confusion? :):thumb:

My point still stands. You contradicted yourself and made yourself look like a fuckhead, actually. Name-calling is for the weak.
