I really think the level of education in the U.S. is subpar.

I'm basing this on personal interaction with hundreds upon thousands of Statesmen of course.

I also met this girl Mareike that came from Germany and spent time in exchange program in a U.S. school. She said the education is way below the standards of Europe.

I believe that's true, now do I really need to go through the long process of explaining how a lack of education makes people stupid? :cool:

If we're dummies than Canadians are dummies too.

Intelligence Quotients are the most ridiculous way of measuring intelligence and virtually no one uses it. Certainly not here in Canada. Sorting people out by IQ is STUPID.


Not to mention that source is highly questionable:
Lynn's work on global racial differences in cognitive ability, mostly surveys of other scientists' studies, has been criticized for its associated measurement difficulties, and some critics have accused Lynn of misrepresenting the data or racism.

Leon Kamin accused Lynn in a Scientific American book review (1995) critical of the Bell Curve of disregarding scientific objectivity, misrepresenting data, and racism.[14] Kamin argues the studies of cognitive ability of Africans in Lynn's meta-analysis cited by Herrnstein and Murray show strong cultural bias. Kamin also criticized Lynn for "concocting" IQ values from test scores that have no correlation to IQ.[15] Furthermore, Kamin argues Lynn selectively excluded a study that found no difference in White and Black performance, and ignored the results of a study which showed Black scores were higher than White scores.[16]

No, because your source is a call center and high school german girl.....................I have found both to be unreliable.

Oh and R. Lynn from Britain is the authority on cultural IQ scores?

Let's not forget "Dad gummit" wtf that's supposed to mean.

So you think that all Americans talk this way? Your argument isn't valid at all, and by saying that all Americans are stupid only shows your own ignorance. Let me ask you this, if we're so stupid then why are we the super power, why do we have all the $$, why are American colleges the source for the majority of scientific, social and medical studies through the world? Give me a fucking break...let me guess you're Canadian?

Your culture says a lot about your intelligence.

Think about it....

Da Bears! uhahahau, gee pa, did you see that?

LOL.

Here's where we could put a little Bob & Doug MacKenzie dialog to demonstrate Canadian culture, but I'm not completely certain it would be representative. Although just as representative as your example above, eh? Good day, eh.
