Reply #2: Nothing, Americans are just stupid [View All]

I have finally found this out... how could George Bush be re-elected, how could 57 million people be that dumb? Well, the question answers itself.

In all seriousness, Americans just don't value learning or intellectualism. The Left in the US is even guilty of this as well. So much of post-modernism and multi-culturalism is just mushy-headed thinking. People in the US are never suppossed to feel bad anymore about failure, even when they deserve it. Much like our President Incurious George, there are no consequences for failure academicly (Bush spent most of his highschool and college time goofing off and spitting into his dip cup), and parents want to pretend that their kid can excel at something else if learnin' dem numbers is too hard. We are so worried about hurting a kids feelings we just pass them on grade to grade and never force them to learn anything.
