Ross, there are many in the US who have a narrow (illiterate) approach to the
world and it all stems from Uncle Ronnie way
back where.  Don't believe me.. try this..
http://www.newfoundations.com/Clabaugh/CuttingEdge/Reagan.html

The "dumbing" of America is damn near complete and you know it.  FFS, kids
today don't remember their own names but ask them the latest hit by One
Direction or what the Kardashians are doing for their next episode, they'll
have the answer out of their mouth before you even finish the question.  I'm
not sure if you ever watched "The Newsroom"... but during the first episode,
statements were made that set the tone of the entire reasoning behind the show
itself.... Here is the statement.  All of it is true.

"And yeah, you... sorority girl. Just in case you accidentally wander into a
voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them
is: There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the
greatest country in the world. We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in
math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant
mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and
number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of
incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real,
and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries
combined, twenty-five of whom are allies. None of this is the fault of a
20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member
of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period, so when you ask what makes
us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the fuck you're talking
about! Yosemite? 

We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral
reasons, we passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on
poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put
our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great
big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured
diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's
greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to
intelligence; we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't
identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't
scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things
because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. The first step in
solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest
country in the world anymore."

But it can be....

Agreed... ALL nations must strive to do better and throwing insults across the
pond from either direction is about as usless as tits on a bull. The shit must
stop.

The quicker we realize every member of every nation has to look in the mirror
and understand none of us live in the vacuum of an individual country the
better off we'll be.  Think Butterfly Effect.
