Err, that's true, though. The US has by far the greatest portion of high-quality Hgher Education facilities in the world, the only vague rival being the UK, who also score two in the top ten.
Literally speaking, then, they are the best. Does that make your educational system as a whole the best in the world... no. The non-higher education part leaves much to be desired- as does our own.
Err, no, because Higher education systems are far less numerical than mainstream education.
The statement:
"The US has the best educational establishments in the world" is 100% true.
Mind you, one might be tempted to point out that that may be little wonder seeing how much the damn things cost to go to! Great they may be, but most people will never see them.

I meant the entire educational system here, as a whole. Which is not the best at all.
And is waaaaaaaaaaay too expensive.
Yeah germany rocks, we don't have any fees and we still rock. Go germany.
Anyway I like americans in general they are very nice and all although many I met were rather uneducated I have nto admit. But for stereotypes they are just stupid there might be a few like that but I don't think its representattive for a country (well except theat the US have elected a living stereotype, but oh well nI don'T care he doesn't want to bomb my country....yet)

I'll fill you in PVS.Draco69 insulted canada's military history and basically evey canadian that died in a war, I sent him a pm regarding canada's accomplishments and he responded by baiting me into further dicussions, and arguing with me by telling me that my country sucks and his is better. He then used his great intellect to Insult canada again, "I apologize that America really is better than Canada. I apologize for our massive wealth and splendor. I apologize that Canada is one of the biggest p*ssies to grace the face of the Earth. And I especially apologize for the fact that your national symbol is a LEAF." And then to try to insult me.
And I did not respond to your synopsis Draco because I think you are sad and pathetic. But if you really must know about me, I hold degrees in Art History, Fine Art and Business with a few minors thrown in there. I have had a few careers but finally am doing what I love to do and am making a financially successfull living as a freelance artist and writer. So there you go make fun of that. And once again, if you are going to be a jerk, at least be funny, your attempts at humour are sad and immature.
Now let's get back on topic.
Sorry for the lateness I'm stuck in this three-hour lecture about the downfall of IBM and the rise of Microsoft in microeconomics. The walking Technicolour disaster I call my professor, is completely in her own world right now. Extremely boring. Half the people in my class are listening to their Ipods. Luckily I've been blessed with a Blackberry for Christmas. Yay!
A "freelance" artist and writer. Wow. Big whoop. Does "freelance" mean you post messages on forums all day for no reason. Guess what? Freelance artist and writer basically means a guy who's unemployed and writing obituaries and other nonsense for very little money. You're Peter Parker without the charms. Your degrees are impressive but hardly a sign of intellectual superiority. As for me, I'm doubling in biological engineering and business administration at Cornell. I got a (mostly; I still have to pay room and board ) a free ride and I'm enjoying the spring semester of my freshman year. I'm minoring in microeconomics and quite possibly (if I have enough time) Chinese. My father wants me to learn Chinese. Something about China becoming the world's most dominant superpower or something close to that nature. Cornell rocks. However it is f***in COLD up here. I hate snow and ice. It should banished to the nether realms. My life is good and pleasant. I have no complaints. (Except for getting rejected from Yale; I'm still unhappy about that).
What's REALLY pathetic is that you wasted your time arguing and PMing an 18-year old teenager about the haves and whatnot about Canada. You were so dedicated to proving the overall value of your country you spent hours writing a 10,000 word essay about Canada's military service ( which I briefly scanned; you wasted your time AND effort. But as "freelance" writer, time is probably all you have). I honestly don't care about the subject. I just had a rather pleasurable time goading you and p*ssing you off.
Do yourself a favor and get a life. You take things WAY too seriously and got insulted and jilted over nothing. You obviously have very low self-esteem. You felt the need to list your "accomplishments" to feel better about yourself. You have a classic inferiority complex. It's rather pathetic and sad. You REALLY need to get laid!
Also please excuse any misspellings or grammer mistakes. The blackberry has a really small keyboard.
And has anyone heard of John Legend? The song is "Ordinary People" is really poignant. AOL has the video.
And you, are an idiot!
You make fun of Kharma (I am not sure of yaour gender so I will refer to you as male) just for telling you what job he does. You are the pathetic one here. Yes thats true the US got the best colleges, but surely not the best educational system. And now your lack of knowledge of other countries than the US is the really pathetic thing. Claiming that Canada didn'T join WWI nor WWII tss maybe you should take some History classes. I really don'T see whats your point you are just some annoying smartass. Claiming to go to Cornell doesn't make you Intelligent at all. I don't doubt that you are but at least here on the Internet you can only prove it with smart and wity posts. Which at least I haven'T seen from you so far.
Oh and I find your humour rather boring, even though you seem to think of it rather high. I bet you don't care but I felt like saying it.
Hardly a 10,000 word essay, and I was merely trying to educate you on a subject you knew nothing about. Obviously that great education you are getting hasn't taken. You continue to show both immaturity and predictability. As for your concern for my financial welfare, don't worry I am doing quite well. As for your obsession with me. I'm sorry, I have no interest in you and I am not homosexual.
You were the one who asked for my education, your insecurities are at best amusing. Please stay on topic, and let go with the infatuation already.

Obsession? Please! YOU contacted ME. I replied with the intentions of never being contacted by you again. You kept on coming back like Anna Nicole Smith to the Krispy Kreme Doughnut shop. Pathetic!
I have high dating standards. I don't date losers. Or nerds. Or people with no lives. You fill the criteria for all three. 😘
You are beneath me. A piece of mud scrapping underneath my boot. You started this and I'm ending it. Grow up and kindly crawl under your misplaced ego for safekeeping.
You have been very amusing and hilarious. I've had fun. Thanks for contacting me. It's been enjoyable. Now shoo fly! I have better thans to do than converse with a "freelance" writer who's heading nowhere.
And now back on topic. The dog with fleas has been neutered and is no longer a threat.
P.S. I do have a great education, don't I? Thanks for the compliment.
😉
The continued personal attacks keep proving my point. I contacted you with information that I thought you may be interested in as you so evidently know nothing about history. Your insults and personal attacks thereafter have been very reminiscent of a schoolgirl or school boy crush. As flattered as I am that I command so much of your attention, please move on.
Your continued attempts at character assassinations is also humorous as I have made comments about your actual behaviour whereas you just insult me or try to make up personality traits to define me by. Grow up little person.
Draco the discussion killer.
all will cease conversation and tremble before the superior intellect.
just remember that at some point you have to stop writing 1000 word essays to attack and discredit others for personal reassurance, turn off the computer, and confront life.
good luck with that 😉
anyway yeah...we were discussing the stereotypical 'ugly american'...
The dog has been neutered and is still biting the bait. You don't give up don't you?
I read the history. I wasn't interested in reading the entire thing. I actually have a life. I don't waste my time researching and writing a history essay for a Internet FORUM. It's utterly ridiculous. Your supposed writing skills have gone to waste here. It's very pathetic. Successful my a$$.
Schoolboy crush? Please! You're below my standards. Plus I'm already dating someone. I shudder to imagine what you look like. The number times you got any action is the number of times pigs have flown across the Giants Stadium.
Why would I commit character assassinations on someone with no character? You're a very funny guy. It's just that you have serious emotional problems. Get help. Preferably now.
Grow up little person? I'm 6'1. That's pretty tall.
Stop this pathetic and ridiculous bickering. You're so pathetic that you found the need to stalk a teenager just to get the last word. It's laughable. The only person who needs to mature is YOU. Get a life and a sense of humor.
By the way, your obituary on Jessica Smith was brilliant. I love your work. The sentence was soooo moving. You're my FAV writer.
And the dog has been neutered and sent to a nearby kernel for hopelessly deranged losers with no lives and very small male genitalia.
Peace Out!

Unfortunately my winter break is over. I'm back at school with boring subjects I really don't want to take. My brillance will have have to be sublimed to much smaller portions.
And stay out of our feuds.
God I hate it when nerds and losers join forces on the internet forums. It's really annoying.
And thanks for the good luck. I having a very good life. Life should not be confronted but rather embraced. People with no lives wouldn't understand that. 🤣
