I hate that as americans were so stupid we have to learn like this because we can't hear people out before it gets to this point.
Well that's what decades of destroying education will do
Like I believe one of your founding fathers Benjamin Franklin said: "Experience holds a dear school, but fools learn from no other"
He would have been pretty nonplussed by our current batch of fools who can't even learn from experience.
they just refuse to listen.
I had a Scottish chick in Edinburgh tell me that I was the only American she enjoyed talking to. I didn't realize just how poorly we were viewed overseas until I went myself.
The amazing thing about this is that Americans who travel are on average a lot more open-minded and intelligent than those who don't. And we still make a terrible impression.
Guess you can't take the murica out of an american
We are poorly viewed by intelligent beings here too.
People here don't even think. I feel like most people in my life barely understand they exist. They are like walking products that work for the evil that created them.
Haha, you think they learn.
