I do agree to a point. Americans are fairly self centered and ignorant.
I can't speak any other languages beside English. I give bigtime credit to people who can speak multiple languages. With the way the world is going, I think we should start teaching our children other languages at an early age.
I also agree that some of the technology is pointless or frivolous. Sort of, "I'm doing this because I can, not because it's of any use". I can already call my bank and transfer funds from one account to another. That's not really a major breakthrough IMO.
And yes...we've always been ignorant and done really crappy things...but now it does get reported more. That's all.
All in all, I'd rather live here, than in another country with my only desire to move to America to finish my education or get a better life for my family.
bravo
One question...if we are so bad, and everyone else so advanced, why DOES everyone come here for their education or to improve their standard of living?
