We are in this position now only due to the efforts of previous generations. You really think that the average 20 year old of today is as smart as the average 20 year old of say 1940? When it comes to such things as literature, art, history, geography? Hell no.
When you claim superiority, you claim the superiority of your ancestors, not of yourself.
Watch, this ignorance will reap what it has sown. The ignorant fuckers of today, are the "leaders" of tomorrow.
Our ancestors busted their asses for nothing. They built a country that allowed you lazy fuckers to sit on your ass, to breed the sort of complacent society that no longer values intelligence.
You are watching the fall of the Roman Empire. Enjoy it.

I don't really disagree with you. I don't know how many times that Americans have embarrassed me with their lack of "worldly knowledge." I personally am attracted to learning about outside cultures and countries, but many Americans are not. They?ve been taught from the early years of their lives to look inward. That is slowly changing.
You spoke of American forefathers but that?s where this concept came from. The last thing that people wanted to be when they moved here is European or anything else. That was everything that they were leaving behind. That?s why cricket became baseball and why rugby became American Football.
What I don?t understand is the fact that Europeans and Canadians post here as if their societies are rich with affluence and culture with no faults whatsoever. While us Americans are so called ?mutts? that have no intelligence and culture. To me, they do this so routinely that it?s almost transparent that they have a deep-seeded need to feel superior to Americans. What their reasons may be still eludes me, but I?ve found it to be almost universal. Why would you constantly compare yourself with people you find so stupid? That was my only point from before.
