Stupid in America: Why your kids are probably dumber than Belgians [news item]

[foreigngirl]

Finally found another joke, only its about Kosovo, close enough, only thing I could find. I have no clue about your region but seemed to find Greek people pissed about using Macedonia for a name, thats where I got the Bulgarian stuff and joke


It is today, nearly six years after NATO and the UN took over Kosovo. An elderly Albanian couple is sitting in their dark flat in Pristina. The electricity is out, yet again, and they are sitting in front of a blank television, lights out, food beginning to rot in the refrigerator which isn’t running, no hot water, and certainly no cooking to do. They are just sitting there, wondering what to do next when all of the sudden, the crackle of electricity is heard when the lights begin to flicker. The television comes to life, the hum of the refrigerator can be heard and the water heater starts up.

The old man looks at his wife and says “Honey, get my gun. The Serbs are back.”

lol at the Kosovo thing. The whole point in that one is that the albanians were cutting off th eelectricity on purpose and the serbs were trying to get it work again....

Yeah, the greeks are pissed off at us because of the name. Its a long story, but everyone is trying to convert us to their own - serbs, bulgarians and greeks

Privatizing schools is a horrible idea.

Why, because the kids end up smarter than those who go through public school?

Anything worth anything is bound to cost something.

No it's called economics....
In order to provide services for EVERYONE this includes poor people , then all should pay taxes which will then make services available.

No, its called communism. I think they tried it in Russia for a few years. Last I heard it didnt work.

But, those like yourself who adore freebees would probably be in heaven.

I like freebies

As long as I dont have to pay for it, then I concur.

I didnt read all the responses but they ARE plain dumb, not only when it comes to school, but when it comes to simple common sense.

The only thing that does not work is a making a healthcare system that is unavailable to most folks. Now people are calling for making school unavailable to most folks as well.

Whatever, when you pay private school tuition + room and board then lets talk about it.

I paid for my private college tuition + room and board. What did you want to talk about?

Its not the government's job to provide things for us. That, my friend, is called communism. Communism doesnt work.

And its silly to think that privatizing education will suddenly make it "unavailable to most folks." I would love to see your reasoning behind that statement.
