ReplyTo a comment on What went wrong with America? (An essay) by Jeremi B. Handrinos.

Jeremi B. Handrinos2 Nov 2003

You must not get out much. I don't have to back up fact with fact that would be rhedundant. I wouldn't have to give an educated American any examples to support my claims they already know exactly what I'm talking about, and yet at the same time I can't be expected to educate the masses in basic American history. Nor can I be expected to inform the uninformed as to why reading the morning paper is useful.

Now to bluntly answer your mundane questions one at a time.

1. America is #1 on the list of Super powers that contains the largest amount of illiterate citizens per square mile.
In fact America is one of the few countries where it's occupants can barely speak one language let alone grasp another language or culture. Something evenn migrating fruit pickers have the ability to do. And why the French, Germans and English laugh at us repeatedly.

2. A poll last year showed that two thirds of Americans believed that god created the earth two to three thousand years ago. I take it you haven't traveled the bible belt much eh?

3. America is notorious for creating puppet governments and then abandoning them. The list is too long to type out. But who do you think created Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden? Yep, America.

4. Casinos? Hardly, try the fall of the towers. And other unlucky occurances that have plagued our nation over the years. From the economy to environmental catastrophes. What goes around comes around.

5. An anecdote? Go to your local pub for an anecdote you'll find many just waiting to unload their rich knowledge of the curent events upon you. lol. I'm only laughing because in a recent poll Americans when asked what Mesopotamian was answered a period in history when dinosaurs walked the earth? lol, and guess what? It was a multiple choice question.
