<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 287427, member: 8033&quot;]Gotta go with I Like Trees on this one Drusus although your points are valid.</p><p>As I stated in an earlier post what was (and I can&#039;t say still is) taught in high schools is often very far from the REAL truth (especially in world matters).</p><p><br /></p><p>Does the U.S. have fine colleges. Of course, there are many fine institutions of higher learning. I went to an extension college of Purdue and learned more in a year than I ever really learned through high school.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for anyone hanging out with the wrong type of person<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> that&#039;s rather a blanket statement in itself now isn&#039;t it?</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s nice that you can hang out with educated people such as yourself other than &quot;dumb&quot; folks. I choose to hang out with my wife as we both have a somewhat intellectual side even if my grammar and spelling sometimes suck.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, I work with people that are &quot;regular people&quot; for wont of a better description. They are my friends, hard workers, honest etc. What alarms me is that most of them are &quot;just&quot; high school grads pumped through our educational system.</p><p><br /></p><p>These people are not STUPID (nor did you imply that) but in many cases they are IGNORANT. It&#039;s very easy to be ingorant of things you&#039;ve never been exposed to. If you don&#039;t believe that go out and &quot;hang&quot; with the average American that has not had the benefit of college education. They are very savvy in what is important to them.</p><p>On the other hand, they know very little about world politics, real history (U.S. and World) and you&#039;ll really have a hard time finding one well versred in ancient history.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>WE ARE ALL IGNORANT about some things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
