Donât you think that if the people in other countries really thought that America sucks, then you wouldnât be having this huge immigration problem which, by the way, has gotten to the point where they are issuing 1-year-only visas to students? People are dying to get into this country because they realize how much their own countries suck in comparison; they have better opportunities here (just compare the American minimum wage to the Latin minimum wage).
Itâs not that people think that America sucks, itâs just that they think that its population is stupid.

It took you 18 hours to come up with that brilliancy?
So, in your own Einstein-like mind, how do you figure that the US has been able to accomlish all that it has, if it's population were stupid?
Tell me something Socrates, do you see or read many sources that indicate to you, that Americans think that people from other countries are stupid? I sure haven't, at least I haven't seen any since 3 months ago when I learned how to read. BTW, in the future try to at least mask your anti-american mindset. Usually it's not a good idea to be belligerent with the people that comprise the majority of the population wherever you happen to be at, like a forum. Just because you live in the US, does not mean that you can't be anti-american. Oh and yes, I did look up the meaning of the word belligerent just this morning. See, I'm trying to increase my vocabulary, so I can be as erudite as an average European and almost on par with an average Middle-Easterner. I do have a long way to go, since I'm just an uneducated and stupid American goober, but hopefully one day, at least my kids will be on par with yours, who you I'm sure are or will be raising to be as open minded and educated as the kids outside the US. On that glorious day, maybe the world will open up it's UN sponsored hands and accept them into it's world-wide community.
Until that day, I bid you poshel nahui. That means "a humble farewell" in Swahili.
