What if the US had a good education system would this lead to a more scrutinize governance

If america had a better educative system.

They would believe like the rest of the world in evoution.
They would not sell guns to the public.
They would not have stupid evangelist brainwashing them and taking their money.
They would not elect idiots who take them to war to protect the interest of multinationals.
They would understand the rest of the world better.
They would eat less fast food and be less obese.
They would have a national healthcare system. For go sake how can you believe those corrupts offocials on the books of private corporations who tell you that it is a bad idea?
You are paying more per habitat in health care than the rest of the world. And you still believe those old farts republicans . The british gave you capitalism and they have a
natinal healthcaare system.
The idiots who tell you it is not good for you cal them selves patriots . How can you be one if you don’t acknowledge your fellow citizens rich or poor.
Yes a nation care for its citizens look at your neighboor Canada.
Wealth would be more equaly spread amongst the population.
I mean you are suppose to be one of the richest and still you have an incredible amount of poor illiterates and seem to collect ghettos in which you park the poor.
And still there you are told by elected elite that you should show the world that the american way is the right way.

Hopefully it would lead to better thread titles, at least. And the use of multi-sentence paragraphs.

They might have the rhetorical education to produce a simple opinion-essay in readable paragraph format.

They might also reject simplistic all-or-nothing diatribes in favor of a nuanced view of the benefits of a good education system.

Without the snark, yes, education is good. “Knowledge is Good.” (Emil Faber.) A better-educated society reaps many benefits, at a remarkably small overall cost. Investments in education nearly always result in net profits.

I don’t know. I’m educated, and I eat way too much fast food.

I’m Canadian, educated, eat too much fast food, and don’t object to private gun ownership.

What does “a good education system” even mean in real, practical terms? I know that the American public school system is often criticized, but the higher education system in this country is one of the best in the world (something I don’t like to throw out lightly). There’s a reason the U.S. attracts so many foreign graduate students.

Now, this doesn’t speak to the majority of Americans, who never obtain college or graduate degrees. But the OP (who sounds like he/she is not American, based on the odd use of English in the post) is confused about the link between governance and education in this country.

Oh I wasn’t aware America was the only country with poverty, crime, war-mongering politicians, and religion.

But countries with better educational systems do indeed appear to have less of all four.

Just two out of four, eh? Oh well, even we Canadians aren’t perfect. :slight_smile:

Opposition to guns was an elective course. You probably took woodworking instead.

And on the other end of the campus was semi-auto shop.

Gotta thin the herds of wild poutines and Timbits somehow.

We could refute the OP with cites, but that sounds like effort and my hands are too greasy from McDonald’s. Also, I wasn’t aware that the US had any education system at all, rather than a bunch of states with varying degrees of quality.

#2 USA
#4 Canada?

As much as I admire the OP’s indisputable literary skills – I cannot possibly do justice to the innovative free verse format in which he has presented his case – I have to draw the line at the phrase “…your neighboor Canada”. The talent that the OP displays for orthographic insult is palpable, but any decent man will know that there is nothing boorish in the Canadian character. Sure we like beer, but our love of beer derives from a tradition of knowing how to actually brew it, and as for poutine, that boorish fat-fest is mainly relegated to the province of Quebec, whose residents we lovingly refer to as “Frenchies”, “frogs”, or “pepsis”, and they laugh approvingly because they know that, even though they tried twice to separate from the rest of the country, we love them as we would our dearest brothers who spoke some foreign language and were always trying to denounce us.

So lay off the “neighboor” stuff, OK?

are you implying that that the US does not know how to brew beer? Because as someone who just moved from the US to Canada, I really miss the selection of beer I had back at home opposed to the utter crap selection of the LCBO in Ontario.

It seems to me that the best Canadian beer comes from… Quebec.

Rants belong in The BBQ Pit, not in Great Debates.

Off this goes.

At least we elect them. People in other countries don’t always get to choose who governs them.

Yeah, right.

Most of the issues mentioned have nothing to do with better education. They seem more based on opinion on different issues than facts.

So, an “good” educational system is one which instill Liberal cliches into the youngsters instead of Conservative talking points. Okay.

Fox news is his cite.
