You see, the real question is, what do I mean when I say that evolution is a fact? Indeed, what do you mean, and do you know what you mean, specifically? The operative word, is specifically. Specific things fascinate me. Specifically, YOU mean that both a change in allele frequencies AND all lifeforms coming about because of this fact, are "fact". This is called, equivocation.

Happy Valentine's Day, "N" words
Of course I mean nerds, the uncool 'n' word.
Let's walk away from the computer for a bit and do a little exercise so MAYBE one day we can get a little of this for valetine's.

Re: is this
lol -- Canada (that socialist state) easily beats the US ...
The UK beats the US in math and science.
How many Mexicans, South American and inter-city kids do you think Canada and the UK have in their schools?
Test ONLY Americans and then lets look at the results.

Re: schools
So their implied failure in school is due to their ethnicity?
Language issues and poverty issues make our schools look bad.
Those numbers, if they only reflected private schools, prep schools, and non-inter city public schools, would be seriously different.
So, when others make fun of the US educational system for not being up to par, or for US students being stupid, they're not making fun of rich, privilaged, mostly white kids who are educated in private and prep schools. They're really just making fun of our poor kids from the ghettos and and our latin kids from Mexico and South America who score so poorly that it brings our over-all numbers way down.
That's really hilarious. Thanks, Franko.

Re: Stupid is as stupid does . . .
George Bush Jr. is a retarded immoral simpleton with elf ears.
There, I just made fun of a rich, privilaged, white kid who was educated in private and prep schools.
I'm not going to stand for you or anyone else insulting a great man. The man who pretty much fixed the Middle East deserves better. Not even a thank you from those animlas either.
It's like they don't even appreciate freedom over there?

Re: schools
I dont think anyone who makes fun of stupid Americans even considered your educational system we make fun of you because of things like this,
Right, a video with rednecks, black kids with corn rolls and latin people. You prove my point.
You make fun of the poor and the minorities. I can't stop laughing myself.
And also the way your media makes you do whatever the powers at be want.
For someone who gets there opinion of the US from a bias youtube video, I wouldn't be talking about how we are manipulated by the media.

Re: schools
And if those numbers from Canada and the UK only reflected private schools, prep schools, and non-intercity public schools then they would still be ahead of the US.
Umm, no they wouldn't.

Re: schools
On the other hand - Frako linked accurate figures showing how uneducated the US is.
Oh yeah, great figures. Bias figures that only take public school percentages, usually - we don't even know how they score it - and never include the private school's and prep school's.... pulease. Anti-American BS if you ask me.
Start your thread, Franko, I'll participate.
Lets see, a youtube video of Bush speaking and Lewis Black screaming on Stewart's show... Wow! great reasons to think we're stupid. I can't wait to see what the rest of the evidence is, maybe a clip of Flav-a-Flav in a spelling bee?

Re: schools
Once you get rid of the poor and the latins, and just focus on universities, you get this World's Best Schools.
You guys get #1, we get everything else.
We're not the one's embarrassed. The best actors, best athletes, biggest military, best universities... Yeah, we're good over here.

Re: schools
In your link we get #1 and #5, #6 and #7. With #6 being my old uni.
And we get just about everything else, with the vast majority belonging to us.
Nah.
What? Did you not watch the Oscars?
But not the best?
Of course... that goes without saying. Seal Team 6 is all US of A!
But the vast majority of the population just like watching other people run around from their armchairs whilst eating chips.
I won't argue there. But it's also mostly the poor. The rich usually can afford gym memberships or own private gyms. So again, the poor are mocked.
But yeah these fatties are a bit of an embarrassment.
You guys certainly do well in competetive eating though.
Our one blemish.

Re: schools
You finally admit that you don't know who has the best military.
Not at all. The US is. Everyone knows that.
Have you realised that you don't know who has the biggest army either?
Not at all. The US is. Everyone knows that The Ten Largest Military.
