Americans

[pimrusis]

An 18 year old in one of Pennsylvania's finest high schools (the good part of PA, not the middle) said the things below :

The interesting lunchtime topic of discussion:
A girl with whom I eat lunch - by association, not friendship - today denied the existence of Central America. She had no knowledge of the countries of Guatemala and Costa Rica. She claimed that Mexico City was in the United States, and that Guatemala City was in Mexico. She then went on further and pondered how come Salt Lake City was in Utah, and not in the nation called "Salt Lake."
To these comments I replied: Central America is real, and it is bet ween North and South America - hence central. That Guatemala and Costa Rica are real countries, and that now, having established that Guatemala is, in fact, real, I informed her that Guatemala City was this new country's capitol. I then went on to point out that Mexico city, was indeed in Mexico and not in the United States as she originally thought. Finally I went on to regretfully inform her that there is no such country as "Salt Lake", and that Salt Lake City was actually named after a salty lake in Utah. Then I went to study hall, and after following me into the room she insinuated that I had AIDS. The end.

You can blame that on our poor education system. Between the teachers unions which never allow any teacher to be fired and the standardized tests that they prepare for(ignoring real education. Not sats but school analysis tests) we are lucky kids know how to count to ten.

Easy on the political commentary. Bush has nothing to do with inteligence. I may not agree with her(and I sure as hell don't) but that is more a opinion based statement.

[blah]

You saying bush is smart? wow, he says the word Nuculear instead of nuclear. He cant even say the people we are fighting, he says Al Qayeda, instead of Al Queda. On the education thing, schools are forced to take those test, its really one of the only ways they can get money. We need to stop spending money on making smart bombs, and start spending money for smart kids named tom! OOOO I rhymed that shit right there.

I'm aware that they are forced to take those tests. That should not happen and a teacher shouldnt be protected due to tenure. Major problems with the teaching programs occur because teacher unions have made it impossible to fire a teacher with tenure unless they do something like abuse a student.

As for bush being smart I've been down this road before. Public speaking ability and inteligence are not synonimous. Keep the political commentary where it belongs. I don't like him for different reasons then you but jabba and tt have made it clear that they don't want us getting into political arguements. This type of stuff only leads to such situations.

yeah let's leave the political commentary on the talk shows, this is not why we come here

Oh what the fucking ignorant Girl. If she thinks she is in the center of the world, she is wrong. Ignorance and stupid are the worst things in the world. I guess she is so stupod so she must read more about other countries and continents.

Well, if central america were in Asia or someplace far from USA, well, i still could accept, but it´s only bellow USA!!!

How these things can happen. Oh my god...

:x

not being able to pronounce certain things properly is not a sign of stupidity

BUT thinking down of someone that has an accent that doesn't allow them to say some words to your liking is "stupid" =)

nice put down... but I am partial to the "buggered with a splintered fence post" variant...

This one is great for both direct put downs, such as "Go bugger yourself with a splintered fence post..."

...and as an expression of surprise - as in "WHOA!!!! No way!!! Bugger me with a splintered fence post - That is unbelievable..."

LOL

So the existance of Central America and the location of Mexico City is a debatable point? I have nothing to say on this point.
