Kids not learning about the titanic is a good thing since it will in no way better their lives unless they become professional game show contestants. Kids need to focus on math, science, and language arts not learning about a boat that sunk 100 years ago. All of the other points are reflections on society and not education so im confused as to why they are in an education thread.

Chances are high, that kids who think Titanic is fictional care not much about science either...
 
Google says: then we can do very much. I hate to communicate in English. For me this is a bastard language simplizierte. I think that's become pretty clear that I can articulate well. It is not simply a factual text in a language to write if you know it only existed for a short time. So spare yourself stupid ignorance. We can also continue to talk in Latin. I suspect though that your language skills there are more limited than in German.

Thats the problem with translators. They give you one meaning of evry word but not the sense of the entire sentence. They do not care about the syntax of the specific language as well. German places the words of a sentence in different positions than in english. Translators do not care about that. Thats why professional interpreters translate the texts and the UNO does not simply push them through google. ;) what i said was:
If you prefer that conversation in german, we can do that. I hate to communicate in english. It feels like an simplistic bastardized language for me. I think it is very clear that i have the ability to articulate myself. It isn´t simple to write a factual text in a language you just learned recently. So please spare your dumb ignorance. We can also hold this conversation in latin but i guess your language skills are more limited there than in german.
 
Greatest country? USA has one of the lowest living standards of the western world. The highest child death rate in the industrialized world. Trust me, i know USA and Europe. It´s way better over here. Oh and when it comes about "greatest country of the world" it seems you have ordered alot of Adolfs books as well, since that is typical nationalist propaganda. Those who think their country is great and do not see its dark sides (mass poverty, militarism, rotting away infrastructure) will lead their nation into the downfall.
I was already in the middle east by the way. airconditioned bike roads through the desert and i went snowboarding there as well. Dubai, i love it!
Yeah germany has been riding on the United States coat tails with your wimpy army and get rich off other coutnrys while our soldiers die. Germanys army is nothing but a peace keeping misson. You talk about downfall constantly? Just how old are you if I may ask?

Germany needs no army at all. Its one of the most powerful economies. No one would attack a country that is able to build weapons within hours which can blow up entire nations. That your soldiers die is your governments fault, not germany. I´m 25 years old. And i believe, that wars (if necessary...) are won with technology. Soldiers are so 15th century.

So Germany is littered with advanced manufacturing facilities that are tooled, stocked, and staffed with trained workers that just sit around idly just in case they need weapons of mass destruction? Then if the need arises they will begin to produce the most powerful weapons the world has ever seen at a rate that would put the most efficient automobile plants to shame? Lets pretend this little fantasy was real, do you honestly believe other countries would have no idea that they existed and dont already have missles aimed at these locations?
 
You're missing the point bbortko, the counterstrike missiles would be manufactured and fired BEFORE the other guys missiles landed....

Darius, you dig yourself deep around here. I mean no harm with my smartass comments, but dude, really do you go out of your way to ruffle some of these guys' feathers?

I know that the US is not the top dog anymore. We are holding onto a history that is pumped down our throats in pneumatic tubes to create a sense of power with the philosophy that if the people feel unstoppable, isn't that half the battle? It goes back to psychology and sociology. Evolution and "science" have very little to do with it. Maslow's need hierarchy. The US doesn't feel the need to focus on things like food and shelter anymore. We have let ourselves become too concerned with the latest fashions and reality TV and Spongebob. We are a falling empire. We know this. We know our politicians care very little for the state of our nation. An effort would be made if they did. They, too, are sucked into the top of the triangle. We know that we are going to fall hard and fall soon. But you don't need to rub it in our faces. But its not only the US showing those signs. They are practically worldwide....
 
Calling it now even this early on

+1, where do you get these?? They are hysterical!

I've never lived in Gernany; however, I don't see what a "wimpy army" etc. has to do with the point the OP is making...the US military has been engaged in wars with 3rd world countries for the last 40 years. As for education, look at the surveys where US citizens can't pass the US civics naturalization test. That's shameful, no surprise the US is falling behind in education.

After ww2 germany was dematilarized- Meaning no army/ but the US will step in and help all these little countries should they get in trouble. We send tons and tons of foreign aid to all these other countries which saves them money and allows them to concentrate on building their economies.. This is what germany and japan did after ww2 pump money into economy and not worry about their milatary. We send money in fo. reign aid all over the world and never get any repayment. No wonder we are freekin broke. See how much we send to the Middle East and they hate us. This is how people can ride on air conditioned roads in the desert with the Taliban well seeded in the country. Right arabic emirates?
 
dann können wir das sehr gerne tun. Ich hasse es in Englisch zu kommunizieren. Für mich ist das eine simplizierte Bastardsprache. Ich denke, dass relativ klar geworden ist, dass ich mich gut artikulieren kann. Es ist nicht einfach einen Sachtext in einer Sprache zu verfassen, die man erst seit relativ kurzer Zeit beherrscht. Also spar dir dumme Ignoranz. Wir können auch in Latein weiter reden. Ich vermute allerdings das deine Sprachkenntnisse da noch begrenzter sind als in Deutsch.

The only thing I got from that was "die man"

...just busting chops man, for a year in you're doing good. I think it's safe to say the world is different than it was when my grandpap was shooting his way through the Germans. Desire and need fuels action and today is alot more sugar coated. Hence the drive is failing, in many regards. But to those who have that inside drive, everything is at their finger tips. More now than ever. So, if your competition is weak so be it, keep on driving that good drive. Peace - N
