seriously, is it something in the water? are your schools not good enough? whenever I'm anywhere on the internet i can identify almost all the americans because of their terrible spelling & grammar, brutal use of deductive reasoning and utter lack of sentence structure. y'all been watching too much WWE or what?

It's easier to cast judgment on others. No country is perfect. You can ask "why are Americans so stupid?", but what about "How come in Saudi Arabia only 50% off the population can drive yet it has the most fatal car accidents on a yearly basis?" Does that mean that Saudi Arabia is a stupid country? No it just means there are probably other underlying problems.



Part of the problems in the more developed western countries is the socioeconomic status problems. People not making enough to feed themselves. Some people aren't allowed to have an abortion in some states which can actually cause a lot of problems for the people who accidentally get pregnant or get raped and as a result are pregnant. Every country has problems because 1% of the population gets to decide what happens with the country. That 1% is usually out for self gain and everyone else suffers, some more than others. When countries make laws that no longer see people as people is when there starts to become a problem. Every country is guilty of this right now, some more-so than others.

Well thanks for ending this thread and showing yourself up as knowing nothing about history. Your going to claim the War of 1812 as a victory for Canada? Really?

CANADA DIDNT EXIST IN 1812!!!!!!!!!


Great Britain won the War of 1812 against the UNited States not Canada who cares if it was one of GB's colonies Britain was on its way to conquering the planet to make up for losing the United States at that time and furthermore had plenty of other more important colonies than Canada who they conquered only to piss off the French for helping out the USA in the War of Independence. Most of you were still French in 1812 too so essentially America was free and independent after beating Great Britain. (You could say Canadians were Britains conquered BITCHES at that time...obviously Britain never conquered the United States since they created the place.)

I was wrong in that rant though Britain ran France out of Canada about a decade before the REvolutionary War not afterwards (hence why France helped out the US.)

Now the War of 1812 was started/instigated by France who ended up getting the USA an ass whooping they didn't really want to have take.

Just cause

The only war Canada has participated in and hasn't won since being a country was the Nile Expedition. Also I guess Korean War which ended in a ceasefire with no victor. Everything else has been a victory (minus some peacekeeping operations under the UN flag like Rwanda)

Well perhaps the issue is you're basing your generalizations off of the people on the internet.

I'm pretty sure that might skew your results. Just a bit.

lol britain never conquered us dumbass. we were loyal and willing subjects of the british crown, and still are. that's why we gained our independence by asking for it hahahaha. we aren't a bunch of inbred deadbeats who revolted because we were too broke to pay a couple taxes. and you're aware that you would have lost if the british had actually committed a real, sizeable force to the war of independence, right? they were fighting a shitload of wars at the time and decided it wasn't worth it to hold onto a colony in bumfuck nowhere when they could just buy all of its raw materials and then sell it back textiles and other products at an exorbitant rate

PeppermillRenoTHis thread is fucking pathetic.

OP is clearly trolling and a bunch of morons are falling for it and crying about our schools. Do you really want to stay in school until 5pm like they do in Japan? ANd have you ever been to a 'bad' school in the inner city and realized how certain students simply refuse to learn or apply themselves? And at said 'bad' schools in inner cities do you have any idea how good they can be for the 20-30% of kids who want to actually learn and aren't hoodlums. I taught in the Syracuse public school system and coached hockey the kids who were at all nerdy or academic all went to Ivys and despite being able to attend SU for free based on growing up in the city which was a new thing SU had just added were like 'F SU coach Im going somewhere better like Yale or Brown' when I asked them where they wanted to go. And most did go somewhere better than SU.

Yeah our education system really sucks when we have the best universities in the world and most people participate in some form of higher education.

Bunch of ungrateful fucks.


OP lets compare our educations you might have better grammar than me on an internet forum I'll give you that one I don't proof read before I hit reply...and I generally type and post like I am speaking in conversation not drafting a written document.

But forget about who is smarter lets assume we are similar and come from similar backgrounds and compare our free public education assuming OP didn't go to private school. My public high school Newton North outside of Boston sent me to St Petersburg Russia for a month because it was one of maybe 8 languages offered and I talked my teacher into setting up an exchange trip. Took it for 3 years and forgot most of it and got awful grades (the teacher even raised my grade after jr year I was so dumb at languages and he felt so bad for me but I had to promise to not take the class as a senior in exchange for him doing so.) Last year my cousin married a Russian and at the wedding I was not only the one guest capable of communicating with everyone at the wedding since I spoke both languages but I also took the bridesmaid back to my hotel room afterwards (Russian of course.) Who can I thank for that other than my high school? I wasn't even in the top 50% of my class and was still able to get into a good college (Syracuse.) DIdn't even get good grades there but I learned enough about economics my major and was immersed enough in sports which is my business that I haven't had to work a normal job for the last 5 years and been able to run a business and ski a lot (Ive taken close to month long trips to Aspen and the Alps on my own dime as an adult staying in nice hotels.) So once again I can thank my awesome ass education for skills to be able to do that.

Lets hear how you had better access to education than me in Canada OP?


please look at worldwide rankings of literacy, mathematics, etc and you will find that the USA does not place in the top five for any of them. and cool, you spoke russian well enough to bang some random slut! i went to spain, said "hola, como estas, eres muy bonita" to every girl i met and ended up hooking up with most of them. chill. foreign girls are easy.

I think it is a pretty well known fact that each countries education system tells history a bit different. Go ask the Germans about Holocaust...

Also, if you think Britain was better off just buy our resources then explain the shift in world power?

I have a friend who grew up in Austria and that's what he told me people in Austria and Germany learn about World War 2. It was quick and they learned what happened.

The reason american engineering sucks compared to german and south korean and japanese engineering is half bc of iq and half because the material that is taught to seniors in American AP science/math courses is taught to 14 year olds in germany. Also, in germany engineers are well paid and considered rock stars. In america, engineers are looked down upon like nerds with no imagination.

Also, i think your stupidity is only pathetic if you dont even realize how stupid you are. Forrest gump knew he was stupid, and he was grateful for the good luck he had in life. Alot of americans literally think they should be treated as intelligent even though they were too lazy to learn math at a respectable level. Math is as precise a judgement of intelligence as an iq test is. Richard Feynman was a math whiz who only had a 125 iq but his math ability enabled him to make earth shattering contributions to the field of physics. Iq and math ability are both swept under the carpet by american idiots who are in denial about the fact their trophy spouse’s low iq gave their kid or kids a low intelligence they couldnt break out of through effort.
