Oh, well ya, I thought that was all assumed prior to commenting on this threat.
The list Robert presents is absolutely true, Cause when asking 100 people the same question. The average came up with the same results.
Especially on:

The American educational system is horrible, certainly one of the worst of the industrialized nations.

That the point, why? Why in a country with so much to offer?
Where in many other countries do not have the opportunities, support, or education offered in the U.S.of A

I'll put it like this, if I had a camera & a mic (of which the average person has in the U.S) and randomly stopped on the fields of some South African village to ask how many side a triangle has? They probably would get it correct. But if by change they where to get it incorrect, would it be just as humorous as if I asked an American on the street that got it incorrect?
Well, on an average probably not.

So the point? ...Well the average answer would be? ( dunno )

The problem is the U.S. has too much money and our government is too charitable with it. It prevents natural selection from taking place, instead we protect the stupid. What's worse, the stupid people are outbreeding the smart people.

You can be lazy, knock someone up, or get knocked up, drop out of school. You dont need to have any skills. You can squeeze out a kid every year by different fathers who aren't going to take care of them. It doesn't matter, government will take care of you.

And it's only getting worse. We now have a democratic congress that wants to raise minimum wage because the old $5.15 an hour "isnt enough to raise a family". So we have dumbasses at the highest level too. Actually maybe not, they're just creating dependent voters to keep them in office. You aren't supposed to be raising a family on minimum wage. If you're trying, you've made some piss poor decisions with your life. Get a career, learn a skill, get a real job. Minimum wage is for kids just starting out or part timers going to school.

Raising priceof minimum wage will do nothing but increase the price of a value meal by 25 cents.
