The sad thing is, people who are stupid, but think they're not.

You know the kind... those who don't know the difference between their, there, they're or your, you're.

I don't mean people who make mistakes, I mean people who are simply ignorant but don't realize it

I could site a few examples of this here.

here we go ...

the difference is that nobody hates australia, unlike the states... sorry, but it s true... well very few anyway... and if they do hate us it s only because of our association with the US... our clown PM is no better than the cock who 'runs the show' in your counrty...

how stupid of me to think that money in the states would be better spent on education rather than a BS war...

your logic (for want of a better word) baffles me...

edit... ito - what do you want ?? education or war (freedom as you probabally see it)... obviously you can t have both (or an equal balance) with the current regime...

Can you stop arguing long enough to roll to the roadie board and answer my question about the Dura-Ace RD 7700 GS???

why do you think this is happening ??? could it be due to our association with the US ???

never happened back home 5 years ago...

 

[sanjuro]

So what was this movie about?

 

[partsbara]

So what was this movie about?

as i told ito (PM) i didn t even see the video... we re packing up and the computer speakers are packed and on the way - no sound so why bother right ??... may have been a case of crossed channels...

sorry... i ll go cook my dinner now...

 

[dump]

It's hard to make a judgement call on the US education system based on this video. Ironic also that an Australian-sounding host would be heading this up...
Australia has a few "middle-east" issues to say the least.

but for what it's worth, I found it funny... and sad considering that most probably all of those people graduated from US highschools.

best lines:

"italy"

"sri lanka... i've never heard of that"

Australia was labeled 'Iran', and no-one knew better.

thank you sir

 

[SkaredShtles]

I distinctly remember in high school a girl who couldn't find China on a world map - I was astounded that she had no idea and still to this day remember...........

Same thing to us Americans...

Seriously, I don't care how schools are in other countries. The top students do well, but there is not enough done is for the poorer students here.

Probably true around the world though.

 

[Changleen]

I'd be willing to bet if you showed most people in Europe or Asia a map with Australia labelled 'Iran', 99.9% would *probably* spot it...

Having said that I recognise that is a highly editted video segment, certainly none of the Americans I know in real life are that dumb by a long fvckin way. It's just amazing that they could find that many stupid people apparantly so easily.

"Braaaahhh!! Dis is da sh*t! I got five on it!!"

Ugh...give me real hope as to who the next pres. will be. Hopefully he'll have informed people around him that point out that Australia isn't Iran.....Hate to see some good mtber's and terrain go up in a big nuclear cloud...:redhot:

 

[Zark]

Italy??? Are expensive cars and long vacations terroristic? What a moron...

As a geographer and an American I'm appalled. Buy a f**k'n map and use it people!

Iran has excellent riding potential, take a look at a topo of Iran. The religious police frown on shredding though

Students Invade Paris School in Protest

By JAMEY KEATEN, Associated Press Writer 47 minutes ago

Scores of students stormed one of Paris' most elite schools Monday, hurling stones and cinder blocks at riot police in the latest protest against a government plan to reduce France's sky-high unemployment rate among young adults.

About 200 high school and university students swarmed into the College de France to demand that Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin withdraw a measure that makes it easier for companies to fire workers under 26 during the first two years of employment.

Many students holed up inside, and others came back outside to face down officers on the street. Police used tear gas to try to disperse the chanting crowd.

The law, which takes effect next month, offers a measure of flexibility the government hopes will spur employers to hire young people, knowing they will be able to get rid of them if they have to. But critics say it would offer younger workers less job security than older colleagues and undermine France's generous labor protections.

Tanguy Arrigoni, a 20-year-old Sorbonne student, called the protesters who surged into the College de France a "fringe group" and said they were "not at all representative of the student movement."

"Those guys are really violent," he said. Police said one officer was lightly injured and there were no arrests.

The protests came a day after Villepin, hoping to defuse the biggest labor test of his nine-month tenure, appealed on television for support of the "first job contract."

Many students, unconvinced, pressed on with protests that already swelled last week. On Saturday, riot police raided the Sorbonne University to oust students who had staged a three-day sit-in.

The College de France is one of the country's top research and teaching institutions. About a mile away, 100 students briefly formed a human chain in an effort to march up the steps of the National Assembly before police calmly ordered them away.

Villepin, facing his toughest labor test yet since taking office last June, said France needs to catch up with reforms already enacted in neighboring countries and reduce youth unemployment rates now at 23 percent.

In some troubled suburbs — like those where a wave of rioting broke out last fall — the figure is as high as 50 percent, he has said.

OMG...it's like the SMALL (20 country) map quiz that we had to take in my International Politics class...This entire row of people scored about 20%, and proceeded to whine about how difficult the test was for half the class. My New York Jew professor essentially told them they were idiots...classic.

 

[sanjuro]

you know how those New York Jews are...
