The glorious British education

[j_poley]

It's simply over-hyped by people such as your teacher, because the Brits are usually awesome and they expect their schools to be as such.

except for that last 200 years, and when that one band of rebels beat their whole army.

Well that was predictable, took you that long to mention the war of independence. don't forget to throw props the the French for bailing you out.

Empires crumble it is the way of the world, the western world is being reminded of that at the moment.

Everyone is stupid. We don't have flying cars or teleportation yet.

People expected us to have that stuff by 2001, get with the program, MORONS!

I'm not sure how one is able to determine which country has the best education. I went to school in America and I got everything from American history, to world history, to performing arts study, to engineering, etc. in my classes.

It is inevitable that there will be dumb people no matter where you go, and unfortunately it seems they out number the smart people by quite a bit.

Stupid people are stupid.

And they are everywhere. Everywhere. God, there are so many of them.

Sigh.... if only we had thought police around to hunt the stupids.

we would be fascists.

and if i may invoke Goodwin's law.
Hitler was a fascist.

Hitler was a Nazi. Mussolini was a fascist.

Hitler was a Nazi. Mussolini was a fascist.

I'd say it's a bit like saying that a cow's a mammal, not an animal. Nazism drew heavily from fascism, and the two shared obscene amounts of common ground, and if we only went by the criteria for calling a country 'fascist', then the Third Reich meets them all. The distinction lies almost exclusively in the inherent racism of the Nazi ideology.

It's not a matter of teaching. To quote comedian, Ron White; "you can't fix stupid" and that's something of a disease spread from generation to generation in a family.
