Is H’obama too French?

Friends,

In a recent speech, the Democratic presumptive nominee criticized Americans who only speak English – he called us all an “Embarrassment”.

If elected, would Obama make French the official language of America? Would he force all shops to print their signs in Spainish? Would your kids become 2nd class citizens because they are English speaking white-Christians? Why does Obama never answer these questions?

Obama thinks our kids should become “Bilingual”, that means he wants our kids exposed to corrupt foreign cultures like the evil war-warmongering Germans and the cheese-eating traitors the French. Would you want your son coming home smelling of garlic and roasted snails, and boasting about his new European boyfriend? When Obama says “Bilingual”, what he really means is “Homosexual”.

John McCain and George W. Bush speak only English. Have you ever heard either of these great men utter a single word in a foreign language, heck no! That’s because they are proud of their language: It was good enough for the founding fathers and the King James Bible.

Hussein Obama has spent much of his life cavorting with morally suspect foreigners - George and John are proud to be 100% American. They understand that we do not need foreign ideas, just good old American know-how!

STR Fact File: John Kerry lost the presidential election, in part because the American people saw that he was too French. Like all liberal elitists Obama is certain to make the same mistake as his predecessor in failure John Kerry.

Our founding fathers came to America to escape these so-called “European Values”. Did you know that the French have no word for Liberty? The American concept of Freedom is totally alien to these people, so why is it that we should learn their language?

What do they have to offer us? Wouldnt it be more sensible for them to learn our language, so that they can benefit from our great movies and food and enlightened Christian culture?

Yours in Christ,

Jimmy Goddard

    *lol* This article proves once again that STR beongs into the 17th century.

    In case you didn’t notice, I’ll post the facts one after antoher so you understand:

    1. We have something called “globalization” today. That means, everything is becoming not only business of the USA, but business of the whole world. You are neither the only economic nor the only military super power on this planet.

    2. The USA are not the only ones who are proud of their country. As a matter of fact, I’m sure that nearly every country has something like patriotism.

    3. That means no one is going to give up his language and cultural heritage any time soon. On the contrary.

    4. For the reasons mentioned, learning about foreign languages and foreign cultures is considered important and a sign of good education on an international level.

    5. If your business partners think you’re dumb (not even enough brains to learn a few words in their language), then they won’t do business with you.

    6. Without its partners in the economy, the oh-so great USA wouldn’t last long on the international market.

    I see two ways for you (all US Americans) here:

    1. Go through the trouble and learn another language to hold your position on the international market.

    2. Stop talking about how you want to make the world a better place, if you do not even know WHAT that world is and means, and for the sake of us all: stay where you are and leave us alone.

    By the way, the French do have a word for liberty. It sounds a lot like liberty, too. I can’t tell you how it is written exactly ( I don’t speak French - I speak German, English, Spanish and Arabic instead), but I’m sure someone around here is going to tell you soon. Besides, just whom do you think did your precious statue of liberty come from? Yes, it was a gift from France.

    Alright, since I know you’re most likely going to ignore my comment or answer it with “you will burn in hell, lie-beral” or something like that, I’ll go and bother with more important things. Like my exchange semester in Spain, for example.

    God or Lucifer or whoever bless all those equipped with brains!

    “In a recent speech, the Democratic presumptive nominee criticized Americans who only speak English – he called us all an “Embarrassment”.”

    that’s what the rest of the world tried to tell you all the way…

    “Did you know that the French have no word for Liberty?”

    none except liberté, which you stole, my friend.

    “Wouldnt it be more sensible for them to learn our language,”

    we do. we teach it to our children, BECAUSE IT’S SO EASY THEY CAN LEARN IT IN PRIMARY SCHOOL WHILE THE AVERAGE AMERICAN ADULT CAN’T DO ANYTHING SIMILAR IN HIS WHOLE F*ING LIFETIME !

    HAIL ERIS!
    i speak three languages, you’re too dumb to use one correctly…

    “In a recent speech, the Democratic presumptive nominee criticized Americans who only speak English – he called us all an “Embarrassment”.”

    Given how useful another language can be, it IS embarassing that people would willingful refuse to learn another language.

    “If elected, would Obama make French the official language of America? Would he force all shops to print their signs in Spainish? Would your kids become 2nd class citizens because they are English speaking white-Christians? Why does Obama never answer these questions?”

    What gives you the impression to ask such a silly questions? Are you really demented and blind enough to believe such utter stupidity?

    “the evil war-warmongering Germans ”

    wwhich, I might note, haven´t started a war in almost 70 years.

    “cheese-eating traitors the French”

    Geeze. What is it with the French-bashing? Honestly, I won´t discuss their military record. It´s hard to argue with failure. I note however, that the french have Germany on their borders, a circumstance that equaled military failure for anyone else sharing it, too.

    And then this whole WWII bashing. Honestly. The BEF manages to run the fuck away and it´s a wonder. THe French Army fights another few weeks against impossible odds and they´re called cowards.

    “When Obama says “Bilingual”, what he really means is “Homosexual”.”

    WTF?

    “John McCain and George W. Bush speak only English.”

    Bush (who has sometimes problems with proper engisch) can do basic Spanish and French. (His Pa could do french fluently.)
    McCain has at least basic Spanish and Vietnamese.

    But then, some other presidents and founding fathers handily beat them. Take Thomas Jefferson, the guy spoke like 6 languages fluently.

    “Have you ever heard either of these great men utter a single word in a foreign language, heck no!”

    To qoute Bush on the Cinco de Mayo celebration:
    “Bienvenidos, welcome to the White House,” he said. “You may have noticed this celebration is not on the Cinco de Mayo — it’s on the Cuatro de Mayo.”

    He also greeted Chancellor Merkel in German, although he doesn´t really speak more than a few phrases there.

    “Hussein Obama has spent much of his life cavorting with morally suspect foreigners - George and John are proud to be 100% American. They understand that we do not need foreign ideas, just good old American know-how!”

    The USA are completely founded on foreign idea, importet knowledge and differrent cultures. YOu´re talking bullshit.

    “Our founding fathers came to America to escape these so-called “European Values”.”

    Bull, the first pilgrims simply wanted to escape religious intolerance by the british.

    “Did you know that the French have no word for Liberty?”

    They have one: Liberté.
    Hell, they gifted you the Statue of Liberty.

    “The American concept of Freedom is totally alien to these people, so why is it that we should learn their language?”

    What concept of freedom? That one that´s the foundation of a democracy? Well, looking at western europe, we´re all democracies of free men, so somehow your statement is again bullshit.

    Hello there
    I’m a 22 years old (white, so what?) (Catholic, so what?) student from Hungary, and I have to admit that I am astonished that this website takes itself seriously. I would like to comment on this article and on the whole site as well in this post.
    1) Claiming that Obama means homosexuality by saying that American people should learn foreign languages is just funny.

    2) Still hating Germans for the World Wars and stating that there is no religion there and that everyone’s conditioned to be a whore, that’s even more ridicoulus. Also, there can be found some porn industry in your holy America as well. Moreover, in case you have forgotten, the pope is German. There is culture there and there are values. Not that its because of you guys, since you bombed such cities as Drezden in the WW, which had no important industry, only culture, muzeums, galleries. You should stop being so unfair with the Germans. The WW is not here anymore.

    3) Its very funny again that you claim that you hate Nazis, but you are so proud of being white. Also, you described jews as Christkillers. Well, thats true, but you cant be a racist and an anti-naci at the same time.

    4) Poor Islam. They are the reason for every sin in the world, right? They can only be terrorists, blabla. Also, they have no rights to defend themselves, and to have their own opinion. Iraq was invaded because it was supposed to have nuclear weapons, and well, that turned out to be untrue. With this point I want to suggest that you should start THINK and not accept as fact that the main principle of Islam is to destroy the US and “democracy” itself.

    5) Christianity. You are being so presumptuous raises some questions in me. A true catholic would not hate other people for their beliefs and so on. A true christian would certainly not hate other people AS A WHOLE!!! fot their past sins. I think that the administrators of this site are not christians therefore. They are pure agitators and political activists, defending their arguments with christianity, America, English language, being white, but thats all. I do not want to guess what their true religion might be.

    6) Blaming Linux is another stupidness. You are unjust, as the posts from your fellow Americans prove as well. The only thing that can be acceptable that Linux was not originally developed to be a desktop operating system, and because of everyone is developing for Window$, it’s hard to catch up really. But, it’s a good system

    7) Finally let me tell you about how you Americans are regarded in Europe. You are taken for dumbs, who now about and cares nothing about but America, and it is believed that your education is responsible for that. Its maybe because of we are jealous of your successes, I do not know. But, I do not want to be as presumptuous as you are, so I do not accept it. I am glad to see that lot of the posts are intelligent and they do not believe this crap in this website either.
    Everybody can grab stuff from the internet to “prove their arguments”, but one just shouldn’t think that its the general truth. So let’s say it only applies for Mr. Jimmy Goddard.
    these 2 videos are famous here in Hungary, describing dumbness in the US:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ_i0mPkN-U&feature=related
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tdKMmoNpqE&feature=related

    Take care guys, and try to be “normal”
    Martin
    And sorry for my mistakes, but my mother tounge is Hungarian, and it is hard to speak perfectly a foreign language.

  5. True Christian July 16th, 2008 7:41 am

    There is no weapon more powerfull than the human mind… But those who haven´t got the brain power due to poor education, are the most dangerous….

    Just take a look at Mc Cocain…He believes Putin is the president of Germany….
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfealLrWLIY

    Imagine if he became President, and wanted to nuke Iran…Instead he would probably be bombing Israel… This man is an absolute danger to the world…Just like G.W Ambush.

    “the evil war-warmongering Germans ”

    Ahhh…Since WWII, America is by FAR the most war mongering nation on the face of this planet…

    “Did you know that the French have no word for Liberty?”

    Liberté, i believe is the word…A word you stole…

    “The American concept of Freedom is totally alien to these people, so why is it that we should learn their language”

    France, together with most other European countries, are just as free as the Americans…In some aspects perhaps even more…

    One of the factors leading to the US losing the Vietnam war was that few soldiers could speak Vietnamese. Vietcong infiltrated military bases in ‘Nam posing as servants to the soldiers. The infiltrators spoke openly amongst each other right in front of US soldiers and the ‘Cong hatched plots to sabotage the US bases without soldiers being aware of what was being said! There are situations where learning a foreign language is crucial and just might save your life!

  7. whattheheck-i am great July 16th, 2008 11:14 am

    What Obama meant was that it would help if our kids learned two languages. Now does that mean people should be forced to learn another language No!However it would benefit people if they learned more than just English!!!!
    Let me guess you believe Jesus spoke English or ypou would probaly call it American!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Peter July 16th, 2008 5:58 pm

    Hi - once again a very tolerant and wise article!!!
    By the way W.Bush had to learn foreign languages - he had to learn French and Spanish, his father speaks French as well and his brothers too. McCain was POW in Vietnam - for almost 5 years - so, these Vietcongs in Hanoi didn`t speak English (probably Russian but no word English) - McCain had to learn Vietnamese! As senator in Arizona - he had to learn Spanish too. Don`t write such a crap!
    Sometimes I am in doubt: Are you uneducated or narrow minded? Probably both.

    Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. If Obama wants to import foreign qualities like that, I’ll stand behind him.

    …traitors the French.

    I’m sorry. WHO rebelled against their mother country?

    Let me guess you believe Jesus spoke English or ypou would probaly call it American!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not to mention think he was a white man.

    Interesting point Abbie raises about language in the Nam. The War on Terror started off with a major blindspot for much the same reason. When Bush invaded Afghanistan, not a single member of the CIA spoke Arabic, the tongue of the Saudi insurgents.

    Language is a cornerstone to understanding culture.
    Squander it at your peril.

    Here’s an interesting fact, it’s old but that most likely means it’s more extreme, a multilingual person can earn $20,000 more per year than the normal person. :/ It’s worth it, lets see, I can spend 500 dollars on the complete three lesson Japanese version of Rosetta Stone, and I can make an extra 900,000 dollars if I learn Japanese by the time I’m 20 and if I work till I’m 65. The software pays for itself in the first month.

    This is a world of many cultures and languages, many differences. Here is an example (yes I’m quoting Pulp Fiction) a McDonald’s quarter pound hamburger is called a Royal with cheese (that’s actually true, Tarintino if I spelled that right did his research). Buddist would rather be killed than kill and believe as long as you are a moral person you will be “saved” you don’t really have to believe in Budda. In Japan, you can call someone no where near related to you sister (onee-chan) and no one will take offense of it so long as you are close to the person your calling, if you don’t know the person it’s a major insult and you have to call them a more respectable name. You can also use chan for a male (chan is typical to be used for females to show endearment) to show a sense if intimacy. The worlds diversity is what makes it so great to live. As I recall there was a law trying to be passed a few years back (5 years?) that made it so kids had to learn English within two years of coming to the US, now where as I can see the practical uses of said piece of legislation, two years? Try 6 or more. Here’s why, scientist’s say that the first language you learn is the easiest and although not the fastest (depending on the language) is realities fast. How long did it take anyone here until they where speaking proper English (not that Billy speaks proper English, but he is understandable to a degree)? About 10 years until a person can fully understand basic English. Now do I think having someone learn the official language of a country is a good thing, yes I do. Do I think it needs to be government regulated? Hell no I don’t. I like to learn languages, I love to learn about other cultures period. If I where to move to Japan or the UK, I’d be expected to learn my way around the culture and understand basics of what go on, yes I see why and I would, if someone came here, I’d expect the same thing. I have a long patience and the only thing that pisses me off is when a company sticks a person with an accent so thick you can’t understand a word they say in a position to talk to people a lot (*ahem* fast food, tech support, the list goes on). Sorry I got *way* off topic there.

    Is Obama (learn to spell is fucking name you idiots, it’s OBAMA, not Osama, not Hobama, O-B-A-M-fucken-A, it won’t kill you to respect other people, in fact not respecting others shows how *not* Christian you are. Learn how to talk without pissing everyone off and you might not be so hated and *god forbid* someone might listen to you) too French? Let’s examine the evidence shall we, his father was born in Kenya Africa, his mother was born in Kansas (okay, it’s a flat pancake and I cannot stand the state, either way I don’t hold that against her). He was raised by his widowed mother and his grandparents who where Caucassian (white for you dim-bulbs out there *ahem*STR*ahem*) and known to be liberal for their age. He spent most of his life in Hawaii, graduated from Columbia University and Harvard Law school (lets see Bush do that :P). He spent his young years as a community organizer, and served 1997 in the Illinois senate. He taught Constitutional Law at Chicago University. He has two daughters named Malia Ann and Natasha. Obama’s hobby is playing basketball and writing and publishing his books to assist in the families income.

    I didn’t hear anything French sounding in there, did you STR? Did anyone else here hear anything sounding French? Nope, didn’t think so. He sounds pretty American to me, Columbia University and Harvard Law school, those are American schools. Taught Constitutional Law, that’s like teaching the building blocks on how America works (or at least how it’s supposed to work). Yep, sounds pretty American to me. And this is *ALL* aside from the fact that, who fucking cares if he’s “too French” or not, seriously?

  15. Peter July 18th, 2008 10:00 am

    Andrew - I agree - however it`s funny for me to write in English, to get more practice. On the other hand my cousin in Beeville, Texas told me, they actually have such people in the States - like the STR, this is not uncommon. Such narrow-minded people are widespreaded all over the globe. In Austria or in Greece we have some of them too, but their arguments are different of course. For example, they call US Americans uneducated and silly people, who have not the traditional Christian values. Some communities in the Alps or at some Greek islands are very conservative. For them, the USA was formed by the devi, can you imagine? And they say, for example, we get influenced by the American negro music. Because they just listen to their traditional rural music.
    It`s hard to talk to uneducated people at all. By the way, I met a couple of US citizens, who spoke very good French, Italian or German. There are many US people, especially in towns or at the East or Westcoast, they are better informed as the majoriy in the Middle East or in the South.

    Hi - your article has too much demonstrable errors - one of the biggest stupendos errors you wrote:
    “Did you know that the French have no word for Liberty?
    The French word for freedom is LIBERTE - (by the way, the term freedom was very popular in France at the end of the 18th century - in relation to the FRENCH REVOLUTION - Storming of the Bastille)
    And your LIBERTY statue was a gift to America from the French in honor of the
    Centennial of American independence.
    This was just one error - but you have too much in your article. Every better educated American knows that. The big problem is, if someone is better educated like the STR, you call them dumb Democrat or Lie-beral. Your second problem is, you don`t admit an error.
    Every single US president and nearby all your politicians in the past and now spoke or still speak foreign languages - W.Bush Spanish and French - McCain Vietnamese and Spanish, Bush sen. speaks well French and Proud German mentioned in his comment, Thomas Jefferson spoke 6 languages. I remember, he spoke even more foreign languages + classic Latin and Greek.
    However - as BBN decided to run for president, everybody was smiling (also the conservative people) - the very first, you have to be very good educated - that means also foreign languages. The biggest joke was, as he added to his name the “Dr.” degree. Probably he got his “Dr” in writing the most narrow-minded, bigoted and ignorant articles ever.

    Kungli Marton shows you in his comment 2 video clips, you can see how uneducated many US Americans actually are.
    Also in Europe we have such narrow-minded people as well, they call US Americans the dumbest people all over the globe.
    That`s also hokey, in the States you had and still have a lot of great scientists, politicians, inventors, sportsmen and so on.
    I have to sign off……..

    And I will tell you -
    When W.Bush talks about “Freedom”, what he really means is “Homosexual”

    this is the same dumb statement. Actually freedom is most important for gays - this is the reason, why many gays went to the States, cause the Russians, French, Greeks…dislike and even opress gays and lesbians. But the States stand for freedom - now you know, why you have such big gay communities in the US.

    I firmly believe international relations would go much smoother if it wasn’t for all those dang foreigners getting in the way! Those foreigners babbling their gobbly-gook,who can understand that? I sure can’t! They dress odd,play weird sports,listen to funny sounding music and eat strange foods! They carry on with their alien customs,lifestyles,beliefs and ideas,how can we understand or trust them? Let’s face it,their whole way of life reeks of Un-Americanism!

  21. Proud German July 19th, 2008 12:27 pm

    “Let’s face it,their whole way of life reeks of Un-Americanism!”

    Which could have nothing to do with the fact that they´re from another country and another culture with their very own language, customs and history…

    Billy Saul Hargus - you have a high number of different ethnic groups all over the US. You still have big communities from China, India, Middle East, Africa, South America, Polynesia, Greece, Italy…….and on my trips through the US I realized, you can buy all kinds of food and meals. For instant, your American Ketchup - originally came from China and they called it something like “Chat Up” or so. Or your Budweiser Beer - basically this beer has it`s roots in Southern Czech - this town is called Budweis (Budejovice) - they created Budweiser Beer hundrets of years before it appeared in the US the first time. Some German immigrants founded a beer brewery in the 19th century and called their first beer Budweiser Beer. Because Budweiser Beer was well known in Central Europe. The beer brewing cultur in Czech goes even back to the Middle Age, the monks made the first beer. (was forbidden to eat during the lenten season, just beer was allowed)

    Same with your Pizza, Spagetti, Hambuger, Biergarten, Schnitzel, Gulasch, Sacher-Torte, black bread and so on, all that stuff is well known in the States now, cause immigrants, pioneers, merchants and settlers imported it from their homeland.
    Pizza + Spagetti came from Italy - Hamburger from Germany - Schnitzel and Sacher Torte from Austria - Gulasch from Hungaria and so on….just Blue Jeans and Coca Cola are a typically US American inventions.

    @Proud German, Did you check out the link to the article about irony I posted previously? I’m not sure if you just don’t get the irony of Billy Saul’s comments or if you’re being ironic by pretending to take him seriously! ******************************** @ Peter, I beg to differ about blue jeans and Coca-Cola being the only American inventions. The Blues,Jazz and Rock-and-Roll were American musical inventions. And Les Paul invented the electric guitar if I’m not mistaken. And Thomas Edison invented the phonograph. ***************************************** I think ice cream cones and hot dog buns were both invented at the World’s Fair in St.Louis,Missouri in 1876,if memory serves me correct. Potato chips were invented in a US restaurant by a cook who had a customer that kept complaining about under-cooked fried potatoes! He sliced potatoes paper-thin,fried them and the customer loved them! The Native Americans gave the Pilgrims popcorn,which used to be cooked on hot rocks. And I recall reading somewhere that Native Americans invented root beer which became a popular beverage during Prohibition.

  27. Abbie Kaufman July 20th, 2008 12:04 am

    @Link, Read the previous comment I made to Proud German. I still can’t decide if you both are ironically challenged or being ironic yourselves!

  28. Link48010 July 20th, 2008 12:30 am

    Well your mildly correct, yes Blues and Jazz where American, but Rock? Ever heard of the British invasion? Had it not been for bands like the Beetles, rock wouldn’t be what it is now and thus they are the ones to tribute rock and roll to (Elvis had a hand in it, but the Beetles gave him his first sound).

    “what do you mean not impressive”

    Although I find the prospect of him needing someone else to write his the post funny, gay is not an insult to me and is if anything offensive to me, I’d respect it if you’d not use it as an insult. Read my older STR post if you will: http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/2007/10/04/homosexuality-title-guest-writing-warning-this-may-open-your-eyes.aspx

    I didn’t read it.
    1. I don’t care if I’m “ironically challenged” or not, honestly I find irony kind of pointless.
    2. I’m tired, and I have knee surgery on Monday. I’ve had 4 hours of sleep in the last 36, having someone telling me I’m challenged at anything isn’t in my best interest.
    3. My Internet is acting odd and takes 10 minutes to load per/page.

    @Link, Of course I’ve heard of the British Invasion! Point is they didn’t invent Rock-and-Roll! American musical acts like Little Richard,Bo Diddly,Carl Perkins etc. originated it,surf instrumentalists like Dick Dale improved upon guitar rock,the British re-invented it. American Rock-and-Roll influenced the Beatles,those were their musical roots. The Beatles made Rock what it is today but 50’s Rock-and-Roll made the Beatles what they were!

    @Link, Sorry to hear about your knee,etc. Get well soon! The “ironically challenged” remark was in jest. No offense intended. The previous comment I made to Proud German was about a link to an article about irony and satire. If you had read it you’d see in context that Billy Saul was doing a satirical poke at xenophobic ignorance and cultural chauvinism!

    “I’m not sure if you just don’t get the irony of Billy Saul’s comments or if you’re being ironic by pretending to take him seriously!”

    The latter. It´s also kinda to make sure that people taking this site serious are presented some dissent.

    Abbie - Of course, you are total right - I am sorry I forgot it to descibe. Of course there are much more US inventions - Graham Bell - Edison - Franklin and much more and the Rock Music of course, I love Rock Music - like the Jefferson Airplane the Grateful Dead - or Lou Reed - and the Jazz and Blues - and so on and so on - and the big car industry and later the Nasa with their Gemini and Saturn V and so on. But Coca Cola and Blue Jeans are something like a symbol of the States, which stand for freedom. I like the States, I have good friends in NYC and in Californian and a cousin in TX as well. Ok - I have to sign off - it`s midnight in Vienna and I have to hit the hey - Peter Vienna

    Hey Link,

    First and foremost I don’t see anything insulting about the word Gay or being Gay, I am just trying get Jimmy all upset because i think a lot of the STR crew is closetly gay.

    FUCK THE RAPTURE

  35. whattheheck-i am great July 20th, 2008 9:15 pm

    And I belive the people at STR are hypocrites!!! And I am very pro gay rights, and I am sorry if you found it offensive.

  36. whattheheck-i am great July 20th, 2008 9:16 pm

    The last mesage was directed towards you Link.

  37. Link48010 July 20th, 2008 10:19 pm

    “And I am very pro gay rights, and I am sorry if you found it offensive.”

    So what your saying is that you where trying to stir the pot right? Well I didn’t mean to make you angry any way, but understand that you used the word gay as an insult and it kind of pissed me off. Being pro gay and being respectful are two completely different things.

  38. whattheheck-i am great July 20th, 2008 10:36 pm

    Yes I was trying to stir the pot and what I was trying to do was just make Jimmy mad,

  39. whattheheck-i am great July 20th, 2008 10:39 pm

    And I did not meant to use the word gay as an insult,it was just meant to piss Jimmy off. Like I said I am very pro gay rights, I believe in legal same-sex marriage.And I did not intend to use the word gay as an insult.

  40. whattheheck-i am great July 20th, 2008 10:40 pm

    And I am not angry, and I am respectful.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you

    Since a while, this blog was losing something. Much less funny.
    This post was worth the ones that made me addict.

    More, more, more !!!

    this blog is a wonderful piece of satire
    truly wonderful
    sharp edged, incisive
    brilliant

    My friends, you have given your time to reply to all this turd, but I doubt if there is anyone real on this site. It is surely run by Democrats to make the Republican elephant look ridiculous.

  44. Shigekuni July 23rd, 2008 1:02 pm

    Yeah it is, which is why it is so hilarious. Would be sad otherwise, no?

    The problem with English is that it is so simple, that it does not require much of a brain to use it. That is the main reason that Americans are so stupid - and rightfully so! I don’t think the U.S. should adapt to international standards just to become more “competitive” or whatever… Americans must have the right to stay dumb.

    “The problem with English is that it is so simple”

    Ask anyone that speaks German, Spanish, French, Russian, or even Japanese, they will say that English is very complicated to learn. English in fact needs more brain power to speak.

    “That is the main reason that Americans are so stupid - and rightfully so!”

    Hmm, not all Americans are stupid, let’s prove it. Average scores on the ACT fall at about 21.25 scale points (out of 36), I personally scored a 24, the top of our class scored a 28, and the bottom of the class scored a 20. So even our *lowest* scored only one point under average, and that was dated before we had even graduated (Junior year).

    “I don’t think the U.S. should adapt to international standards just to become more “competitive” or whatever… Americans must have the right to stay dumb.”

    Why not, you don’t make any sense. any large company in the software or hardware technology has employees in another country, mainly China. I am usually stunned when I see “Made in the USA” on something, in fact it’s gotten so bad that I saw an American flag bumper sticker that had in white on one of the red strips “Made in China”.

  47. Lu-Tze July 27th, 2008 6:18 pm

    Hm… maybe you misunderstood my comment. I think Americans should be proud of their stupidity. The U.S. is world leading in stupid signs, stupid TV shows and political campaigns aimed at stupid people. I believe many Americans are proud of their stupidity and ignorance, and to preserve that, the government should avoid taking any steps which would endager this stupidity.
    Or are actually implieing that stupidity is a bad thing??? I mean, who the hell would want to be one of those elitist intelligent people from the nerd patrol?

    Clearly, being stupid is the way to go!
