im not bragging. i might be a retard. but out of curiosity why should i have heard of any of these countries?
Because they are just as important as any other country, IMO.
Well, except for Singapore.
So how come you do know that Georgia is a country? Better education? Or more a fact of you being more intelligent?
The following answers this:
I disagree. It has the same function history does. Knowing something about geography enables you to put things into perspective and allows you to nuance things. It gives you a sense of knowing where you are, which is not without importance to me.
You see, you don't think geography matters and you think the world evolves around you. See the pattern?
I know Georgia is a country because I learned about Geography in high school. I was in a pretty rigorous program which is uncommon in the US, at least for high school. Then again I'm the type of person who goes out of the way to find out where things are. So I guess it could be a little of both. The truth is some people just don't care enough to study geography unless they're forced to in school. I don't want to assume that is because of lesser intelligence. As I am sure there many other factors that contribute to what different nations emphasize as important in their education systems. That said I agree with that in our ever flattening world geography should be of huge interest to those who wish to be successful, not to say that a lack of geographical knowledge means on will not achieve success in his or her life.
Hector, you and Enron both answered it....
But I also took it in college.
No one ever said all Americans are spineless cowards with no ethics whatsoever. We might question a lot of American choices, but haven't seen anyone on this forum call every American a coward.
Yea....just some of us.
US has poor educational system.
I don't know if it teaches the kids all the nececary things, but education in my ciuntry is far far more dificult & harder to study than US education. That doesn't mean that all that I have learned I will use it in my life. And proper education not neccerly means succes in life. Even if you are good at school
For example none of the Americans in my crew didn't know about Nicola Tesla, they think Ben Franklin discovered the electricity...
Our education system isn't poor, it's just different from yours. If it was so poor, why do we have like 10 of the top 30 universities? (Exaggeration.)
But seriously, peaople from all over the world come to Cal, MIT, Yale, Duke, UVA, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton....come on bro.....when was the last time a genius came out of the University of KRAKOSIA?
Nicola Tesla was the fuckin' man.....no doubt.
who the hell is Nicola tesla? isnt he that dude from the czech rep. that did alot of work with electronics
Ever heard of the TESLA COIL!?!?!
ya everyone hates us (u.s.-- no pun) for one reason or the other, ask reb and akkkkmedios (my dunn ahmedios)
ANAL CANNON IS THE MAN!
Word. American people has nothing to do with the goverment. But they do select it and that's why they suffer.
.
I love it when people start using my "words."
By the way, great thread. I can't believe some people other than Ahmedios fell for this story concocted by Burke and me.
It'a a gift...and...
