Ron paul: Obama's goal is economic collapse

[Byron In Exile]

. . . No, they're not . . . What school did you go to?!

The school of life.

Beats everything, trust me.

They may "teach" those subjects, but why do so many other countries' students score higher than us? You know - the countries that are kicking our asses economically?

Back then, 8th grade was probably equivalent to today's 12th grade. Plus, the nation's schools hadn't been turned into indoctrination centers yet.

The United States has eight of the ten best universities in the world. It is one of the few things the United States is still good at.

If you list those countries you will find that most have economic systems to the left of ours.

 

[off2bed]

If you list those countries you will find that most have economic systems to the left of ours.

And we used to kick their asses until we turned left.

You know you're an idiot, right?

 

[Skandalon]

Actually we kicked their asses before we turned right!!!

And Bush federally funded nonsense like a 6,000 year old Earth, a literal interpretation of the Bible as science and history, and other religious nonsense the Bush adminstration called reality.

Lets add to that Moonie designed abstience programs paid for with your tax dollars!

Thank God for Obama and real science.

If this is true, and the correlation is not a "lack" of education, then it ought to be the most damning indictment of our educational establishment on record.

Do you really think a high school dropout from Lynch Mob Junction, Alabama knows more than a Berkley graduate?

Oh, y'know what? Just stop.

You're not only flailing around in quicksand, you're asking for more to be dumped in to save you.

 

[The_Trouvere]

And we used to kick their asses until we turned left.

They are still to the left of us, and they outperform us academically.

Also, when did we turn left? Was it during the administrations of Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II?

 

[TurdFergeson]

So, Obama must be failing at that, too?

 

[tinylittlegnat]

Pretty much. Latin and Greek were requirements in high school. Now, they're not even required in college.

i cpmpletely agree with you. i went down to walmart to buy some groceries and asked the clerk in latin where the toilet paper was and he couldnt understand what i was saying. i tried again in greek and he didnt understand that either. what the fuck. dont people speek dead languages anymore? whats next? are people not gonna learn how to speak aramaic?

Knows more about what? Skinning and cooking possum? Deer hunting? Fishing? Automotive repair?

Let's watch a Berkeley grad survive in the woods for a week.

Not, of course, the kind of knowledge you apparently were alluding to in post #177 -- the kind that allows some countries to outperform others economically.

You haven't even learned that.

Don't you have any idea why you're regarded as a total joke and why the ole-time lib morons keep egging you on?

Hm. Maybe not...

Because it got stupid and went off into the weeds.

Secretly, he's smarter than you.

Isn't everybody?
