    Default Wow! Are You Kidding Me!?

    I don't know whether to LMAO or start crying. Apparently the enormous sums of money spent on education in this country are working like a champ...NOT!

    Let me help you a bit....

    Start crying.

    Unless this was staged, a total of 8 adults could not name a single country that starts with "A"

    Please understand, I'm not American bashing at all here, as a matter of fact we have similar issues here in Canada. Granted, geography might not be a popular subject, but can you imagine if they asked most of those people to do fractions or calculate a percentage?

    The trouble with both our countries right now is that there are too many people that are so full of themselves, they think they don't have to know anything to succeed. Just being "American" (that included Canadian, more and more each day) is enough to make them superior.

    Just wait till China, India and Japan effectively own 51% of us...its not that far away. They already out-educate their kids by at least a 5 to 1 ratio.


    We're in deep doo doo...its just that most people are too stupid to realize it.

    Late edit/addition.....One of the countries that starts with "A" is Afghanistan...remember? The country where 158 Canadian and over 1800 American soldiers gave their lives.

    8 adults cannot name that country.

    I take it back, we are not in deep doo doo...we are 6 feet over our heads in s**t and we keep piling more on.

    End of rant...

    What's wrong with this? It has already been championed by famous politicians as 'real america', while trying to improve oneself by education was condemned as 'elitism'.

    The movie Idiocracy was meant to be a ridiculous parody but the more I see of the world these days, the more it appears to be a glimpse into the the world of the future. Asia!? A continent, numerous countries with diverse cultures, religions and yes, languages. My wife, a Filipina, is often asked to read Japanese, translate spoken Korean, read Vietnamese, etc. When she politely explains that she is from the Philippines she often gets strange looks as if to say, "Well, so, you all speak the same lanuguage don't you?" It really freaks people out that she can't eat with chopsticks and that her language is written in letters and not characters.

    They forgot Apalachicola too (Great Oysters!)
