Thats the great thing about Canada, Instead of Assuming everyone is Dumb we can Assume everyone is at least at a High School education Level.

Note: This Post is only supposed to be slightly insulting to Americans. As I know many of YOU arent Dumb.....But many in America are......Including your President......Who DID get a Majority Vote. :rolleyes2
I won't deny that many Americans are stupid, (I'm from Arkansas and we aren't world renowned for our intelligence) but I do have to stand up for our nation as a whole. Our public school systems suck, yes, I don't even know if we're in the top ten. But on a University level, we're number one in the world. People come from all over the world to go to our colleges because of that. The key difference is PUBLIC schools vs. PRIVATE universities. Our public schools simply don't get enough funding in most parts of the U.S. Whereas our colleges and universities (the Ivy League at the very least) has absolutely no financial issues and produces the very best lawyers, doctors, businessmen, etc. People like to bash the U.S. because we have a lot of flaws, but seeing as we're the world super power and have been since probably WW2, we're obviously doing something right.

As for Bush, I like him. I don't agree with everything he's done and no one is claiming he's perfect. But I get upset when someone calls him dumb and I'll ask that person just how many press conferences did they watch of Bush? And they say zero but they've seen on TV clips of him screwing up something. Most people don't realize that Bush held more press conferences in his first year and a half of presendency than clinton held in his entire 8 year presidency. You give a one hour speech in front of a live audience without the aid of a teleprompter many time with questions being asked once a week and see how often you commit a malapropism.

So yeah, I could go on but then I might start yelling, and I'm having a hard time already thinking how this post has anything to do with FFXI vs. EQ2...
