    Never question Finland's superiority over USA again

    Congratz to Canada, too. Nice level of education. USA just doesn't seem to make it


    04/12/2001 - Finland is the top performing country in a new OECD survey of reading literacy among 15-year-olds, while Japan and Korea are the top performers in mathematics and science. All three countries are also among the countries with the narrowest gap between the highest and lowest performers, based on tests involving 265,000 high-school students in 32 countries.

      Mika, here's the real story:

      "In every country surveyed, girls were, on average, better readers than boys". Further evidence of female superiority - as if your momma wasn't enough.

              Sorry, but Lapin Kutla and Koff are pretty bad beer. They grew on me however.

                  yeah, but which country produces more millionaires?
                  education (grades-wise) is overrated....how many people have made millions without benefit of even a high school dimploma?

                  how many uneducated arabs are rich due to oil?

                  education is more than just test scores and a piece of paper that says someone did their 13 years in school....

                  hey, when is finland going to use their vast knowledge to get their taxes down to a human level?

                      It is hands down the most expensive country on the planet.

                              lol. I'm with you on that one. Also, about 2 years ago there was a big brouhaha in the Finnish media of 2 young Finnish dot bomb millionaires who bought Italian sports cars. They almost basically got finger wagged and brow beaten out of the country. What the fuck, its their money, let them spend it however the fuck [within the bounds of the law] they want.

                                  You wait until you Americans have to pay for all this war.

                                  George Bush is going to be asking very nicely for you all to bend over and spread those cheeks.

                                                  Education IS overrated - just look at Gee Dubya. Got himself a nice education, yet the daft fucker was STILL stupid enough to try to get Stevie Wonder's attention by waving to him

                                                      No actually, I like The Simpsons, but I wouldn't call it a sitcom.

                                                      It's a satire.

                                                      It's the only television I watch besides the news.

                                                      I don't hate America but I hate the collossal arrogance of Americans.
