Oh joy... we are #9:1orglaugh

it would be pretty sad if this wealthy and educated country would breed illiterates, don't ya think?

F*ucken Canada!

There are plenty of people that go through the public school system who can't even speak proper english. I often wonder how they made it through. Some people speak with so much slang I can't break the code.

Christ, Latvia and Bulgaria beat us.

Fuck reading. Let's see the Quake 3 scores! I bet the USA ranks first, second and third. Fuck reading. Reading never got me a job. Now bullshitting... that is an important skill. Bullshitting got me plenty of high paying jobs, got me laid, and got my out of trouble.
