like i said, and like i said in another post. im not going to deny that we have fat and stupid people. every country does. but we do have a lot of shitty areas, where it seems like the entire population is fat and stupid, which makes the rest of the population look bad. there are so many parts of southern california made up of like 90% fat uneducated hispanics. and tons of areas in the south that are full of fat hillbillies that couldnt make it to highschool, and yes they do make up a pretty large part of the population. but its plain stupid to say that represents the US in general. thats like me saying that when stayed in a shitty area of saskatoon, i can say the rest of canada is full of fat shitty people.
its hard to say "the us is this" or "the us is that" when we are so damn diverse. you just have to find a good area, which is not hard at all to do. ive almost been to every state, and there are very few where i cant think of good places to live. the shitty areas, while there are a lot its a big fucking country, are easy to miss.
as for education, whether the shitty inner city schools and redneck towns bring our education scores down or not.(i really could care less about education scores, IMO most of public education is a waste anyway) we still have accomplished far more than any other modern country. you can have your graphs and statistics if that makes you feel good. actions still speak louder than words....
