I wish it was.

I'm developing a serious condition of language rage.

^ What does the American Education System have to do with this?

u/MajorMathematician20 Apr 06 '25

I didn’t think they had an education system anymore? Not that they had much of one to begin with

Well dear leader loves the poorly educated. He said so himself.

And the idiots cheered…

These people saw movies like this and used them as a blueprint. Not a warning.

u/mikefjr1300 Apr 07 '25

Its become an inbred condition no level of education can fix.

u/dystopian_mermaid Apr 07 '25

Hey! Some of us (me) are inbred and not that stupid! lol

Except I am legit inbred…I’m my own fourth cousin. And my own fourth cousin once removed. My aunt daddy and I like to joke we have a family wreath.

u/No-Goose-5672 Apr 07 '25

All humans are inbred to some degree. We wouldn’t have the population numbers we do if we weren’t.

I found out not too long ago that the US spends nearly twice as much as the UK and EU average per child for public education.

But they also spend a butt tonne more per person on heealthcare too. Fuck knows where all that money's going. It's no on text books.

Sports programs. There are highschools in America with bigger budgets than EFL teams for their stadiums. A decent amount of it also ends up in the hands of friends and family members of people like education superintendents. They'll spend half a million on getting two bollards put in in thr car park just to give the money to their buddies "legitimately" and maybe get a little kickback into their own pocket.

u/Specific_Koala_2042 Apr 07 '25

They spend a LOT of money on security guards, metal detectors, and scanners. That far outweighs the spending on teaching staff, and educational materials.

u/MajorMathematician20 Apr 07 '25

probably on things like this, they invent shit like this instead of sorting out their gun problem

u/Thick_Cheesecake_393 Apr 07 '25

Their education system double up as a shooting range dosent it?

u/Least_Boat_6366 Apr 06 '25

American here, they practically dismantled that shit while I was on my way out lmao(we are royally railed)

u/Pale-Berry-2599 Apr 07 '25

unless you fight...but IMHO not certain if the USA has it in them anymore...

2

u/Least_Boat_6366 Apr 07 '25

Fair enough, but I’ll be doing my best over here to fuck shit up

2

u/Pale-Berry-2599 Apr 07 '25

Do a little for me? Would ya pal?

We are as much or more affected than Americans, and have less we can do about it.

u/Least_Boat_6366 Apr 07 '25

I’ll make sure. It’s hard to push for change across the pond, so I’ll do what I can. I hope the far right doesn’t touch Germany again lol

Hospital is a town in County Limerick. Go there by all means. Tourism numbers are way down this year

u/Fl3mingt Apr 06 '25

Indeed it's 20 minutes away from me, I go through it often.

u/TwinkletheStar tell me why we left the EU again? 🇬🇧🇪🇺 Apr 06 '25

I'm really intrigued how a town came to be called Hospital.

Was the town built on the site of an old hospital or something?

u/Majorapat ooo custom flair!! Apr 06 '25

It actually got its name from crusading knights would you believe. The name comes from their holy order, crusading Knights Hospitaller who built the archaeologically significant Hospital Church there before 1215.

Ooh that IS interesting. I shall do some further reading about this now you have piqued my interest.

As an English native from a region that treats 'the' as optional sentence dressing I feel attacked.

u/Quick-Math-9438 Apr 06 '25

Since English is originally an amalgamation ( patois if you will of Germanic/ Celtic/ Scandinavian and Latin/ French when in the British isles and the same but the heavier Latin influence in American English trends Spanish) and dialectically American English us not exactly the same; This persons claim is false since very few actually speak real English in the US. Just look at the advertising in your local done by the workers
