    We probably have the most native English-speaking morons than the rest of the world combined. I’d like to think we just gave the world cool movies and blues/soul records but we gave the world a bunch of dumbasses too. It hits England first.

      I guess it hits Canada first and England second. And include rap in our contributions to world culture. And jeans and microprocessors and other unimportant shit.

      To be fair, the US only turned out the way it did, because of a bunch of imperialistic European countries (or governments).

        The US has been an independent nation for almost 250 years. At some point they have to start taking responsibility for their own actions

          Great point. They definitely should take responsibility. I just want to keep the history of imperialism in mind. I don’t want to excuse the US at all.
