That would require me to pay $20million for a ride on an upcoming Russian space launch.

I suspect a lot of US Americans cannot locate the US on a map, because they haven't had a war with themselves in recent times. As such, it hasn't appeared on the news starting off with a globe graphic and zooming in on the country that the USAF is currently bombing.

Which means there is a fundamental flaw in her suggestion for an educational improvement plan. Iraq and Asia are fine with regard to the US helping them, as her ramblings suggest, because both of those have been well and truly bombed by the USAF. But South Africa will not yet be programmed into the B-52's targetting computers. Obviously this is a stumbling block for her educational plan and should be immediately rectified by the bombing of Johannesburg ASAP, in order that her thirty-five point plan to get Uncle Sam's IQ up to scratch can proceed with all haste.

PS, my wife has just said it is her ambition to be that bimbo when she grows up, obviously she'll have to dye her hair and have a lobotomy, but these are minor trifles.

I think, and it is mere speculation on my part, due to my inability to 'rise' to her level. That someone told her to work SA and Iraq into her answer because it would show her to be a kind and thoughtful person. Unfortunately the question didn't lend itself to the answer and her plan to look thoughtful backfired.

Here's a little help for her:

TALKING TO AMERICANS 1-2
The part when they ask quostions from the university students is scary.

Officerpuppy · 08-26-07, 01:24 PM

Seriously, of course I know how such TV surveys are made (helped doing some myself when jobbing for local TV while in high school). You take dozens of statements and use the stupidest answers. I bet for every dumbass the TV team got dozens of fairly correct answers.

On the other hand, Americans seem to handle knowledge on a strict need to know basis

I don't really know how the US education system works, but from my viewpoint it seems it doesn't.
But of course the german education system ain't exactly something to be proud of either these days.
Some might argue that you can live a perfect life without knowing anything about geography, especially in these days of GPS for everyone. On the other hand, a profound allround education for everyone is IMHO the best way to preserve a democratic society. Knowing what the capital of Burma is might not be helpful in everyday life, but knowledge teaches you to learn to think in context and put things in relation to each other, thus making you less dependent on what other people tell you.
