That's not a fun fact, hurr

Chinese:

Best schools out there. Amazing education.

I can definitely see China overtaking the USA with high-tech jobs and a better economy in the next 20 or 30 years.

Well, considering we owe them stuffloads of money, I'd say that's a pretty safe bet.

They were obviously not taught the drive to be the best when they work on something.  See, this is a huge problem in a free society, people need to be taught excellence, but at the same time have the freedom not to be excellent.

So a free nation really can't be perfect, it has been tried in America's past, people tried to create Utopian societies, but they just couldn't work.

Quoted because mine was posted seconds before Veg's post and probably went unnoticed;

That's not a fun fact, hurr

Kids just aren't motivated these days, probably partly because their parents spoil them with stuff. I wish all kids would go into IB, then everyone would be intellectually equipped. But, we can't force them. Oh well.

I'll keep that as sig for reference.  I suppose I'll get back to you when I'm done?

Chinese are like the Russians, IE they lie about everything to cover up the fact that they're under a stuffty regime that can't do anything right.

Except we owe them tons and tons of money
they got stuffloads of money out of us, that they did right

The funny part of that is they got the money that they loan to us, from us. Basically, our corporations give them money, which they loan to the U.S.

Doesn't mean they aren't heaving under debt like everyone else is right now. We owe them money, but people owe us money too.

Our education system is forgeted up because of all those lazy kids who are relunctant to learn. Only I was the ambitious one in my old school and my ambition drove me to my high school. If all of the high schools here were as demanding as mine, we wouldn't have a problem. Same goes for the schools. Thanks to my middle school I couldn't start physics as a freshman or geometry. But I loved my middle school <3
