"it is immoral to take peoples money to provide services they won't buy from you voluntarily."
Hence my retort eg, no one would voluntarily pay the police, right? Yet without 'em, there'd be anarchy!
Let's hypothesise: you've just been robbed so you call the cops who inform you that to investigate, it'll cost you X amount, get my drift? Are you suggesting we shouldn't pay for anything we wouldn't otherwise? Without any gov or taxation for vital services, we're back in the stone age!
"Virtually all innovation comes from America."(Prior, you said all innovation is American.) Utter tosh, already debunked.
"innovation like the CERN is like innovation in chess: No one gives a damn" then you state "I care a lot about pure maths I'm in awe of beautiful theories and elegant proofs." Whaddya think CERN's 10,000's of top draw scientists care about? Pure math, physics, elegant theories & fact yet you state they're a gov toy! Too funny!
Yea ok maher america is stupid so what are you doing to adress the problem oh thats right being an islamaphobe at every opertunity, people used to respect you but you have lost your balance and you look like a pathetic butt sucker, you get ann coulter on your show she can give you some more tips on how to hate. I dont mind anyone who will inteligently argue against a religion but you hit at the heart of the person you want racism in the school playground you want little muhammed bullied to hell.
Bill Maher has already exposed Coulter for the dumb, sensationalist, motor-mouth gobshite bitch she so obviously is.
watch?v=TNBkc3D-VTg
In fact, she's been made to look ridiculous by many others too. It isn't difficult 'cause she isn't that smart, just a loud, obnoxious, sensationalist harridan, easily exposed by anyone with any common sense.
@trouzerpants Why would you have ann coulter on your show in the first place that is my point she spreads hate and maher has his little muslim thing going too so they are both butt wipes, yea sure maher is intelligent but he still plays a dangerous game muslims are the new blacks , they will be blamed for everything that is bad in the world and that as you know is very simplistic and made for people who are unintelligent.
@trouzerpants Coulter is just an idiot who gets paid for being outrageously controversial and she works well because america has plenty of people who shoot first and ask questions later, people who do not have the mentality of a child, She is easy to laugh at because she is preposterous , maher is more complex because i was a big fan of him then he made a boo boo on the 9/11 tragedy and since then he has become a hater of anything muslim related you want quotes just open your ears.
Similarly, although we used to have one of the top percentages of high-school and college graduates among the OECD countries, we’re now in the basement for high-school and the middle for college graduates. And these figures don’t take into account the leaps in educational attainment in China, Singapore, and many developing countries."
Joel Klein, former Education Chancellor of New York.
Just face it fella, you've been overtaken by nations that value education over GOD, GUNS and GAY RIGHTS..
In summary, if you supported that retard Bush (who's IQ is no greater than his shoe size), Palin (dumb as they come), Bachmann (God squad nutta) or any of those Tea Party clowns, then you are incapable of thinking for yourself. You will contribute to the downfall of your own nation.
It's people like Bill who has the BALLS to stand up, who endeavours to WAKE YOU ALL UP from your state of myopia. He's the true patriot, not indoctrinated ignoramuses who only wanna hear that everything's just fine..
"While America’s students are stuck in a ditch, the rest of the world is moving ahead. The World Economic Forum ranks us 48th in math and science education. On international math tests, the United States is near the bottom of industrialized countries (the 34 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), and we’re in the middle in science and reading..
"The World Economic Forum ranked the United States at a mediocre 52nd among 139 nations in the quality of its university math and science instruction in 2010. Nearly half of all graduate students in the sciences in the U.S. are now foreigners, most of whom will be heading home, not staying here as once would have happened."
"The Decline and Fall of the American Empire" - Alfred W. McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
"In '09 the US hit rock bottom in ranking among the 40 nations surveyed by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation when it came to "change" in "global innovation-based competitiveness" during the previous decade.
..clear evidence that the US education system, that source of future scientists and innovators, has been falling behind its competitors..
America elects Bush, invades Iraq for no reason. America elects GOP, lets them cut unions and gut manufacturing jobs. Americans prefer to limit gov't, except when they wanna take rights away from homosexuals, the poor, and minorities. Americans are pretty stupid. They managed to elect into office morons who've gutted our infrastructure, screwed up our economy, and Americans still believe the free market triumphalist crap of the GOP.
Virtually all innovation comes from America. So even if it should be stupid on average, there must be something about it that is still the best the world has to offer. I doubt that Bill Maher knows the first thing about it.
Don't be a fool. US innovators are merely standing on the shoulders of past giants... Moreover, you obviously have no idea how much foreign talent works in the US.
Bill's correct - the US has a huge percentage of retards, all brainwashed by idiots like Bush, Palin, Bachmann, Coulter, Fox "news" etc
@trouzerpants So in your opinion all that progress that is coming faster and faster these days, all coming from America first, is coming out of some inertia from giants of the past. What a bizarre idea. "Moreover, you obviously have no idea how much foreign talent works in the US." I do. It's you (and leftists like Bill) who obviously don't know what attracts that talent to the US.
Progress, innovation, "inventions" etc, all can be traced back to the work of those gone before. Take Europe, CERN (pushing the very boundaries of physics), EADS, BAE, ESA, NPL etc. I'm not naive enough to think they're all Europeans working there, no, thousands of top notch boffins from all four corners contribute. Same with the US where numerous scientists/engineers from Europe and Asia contribute. Bill's spot on, it's an ignorant country. His criticism highlights his concern.
The fact you BELIEVE it all originates in the US is obvious proof of your ignorance.Blame Fox "news" & your awful propagandised media.The US educational system (unless wealthy) is TERRIBLE.Asians have surpassed you all in math & physics; are you cognisant the majority of MS programmers are Asian?Wanna know why? They're better at the job. Wanna know why it's now Europe pioneering the way in science & physics? 'Cause we're not held back by BS religion, gay rights & idiots like Palin.
@john42t You're the one who is delusional. You're the one who is claiming that ALL progress comes from the USA first and not the other 6.3 billion people on this planet.
Trouzerpants posted many good arguments, you on the other hand never did.
@GrenVo That's because after getting insulted most arguments don't matter any more. I really don't give a crap about what you think of me or my values - I just want to let you and that other guy know that that the usual "you're an uneducated fool for not being a do-gooder like myself, bla bla" is going to be opposed by some, even some non-Americans. That's the only point I see worth making to the likes of you.
"I really don't give a crap about what you think of me or my values"
This has nothing to do with values, it has to do with you making dumb comments.
You said "ALL progress comes from the USA first ". I can talk to any intellectual in your country and they'll agree with me that it's a stupid comment, period.
@GrenVo That's true. All those anti-American intellectuals in my country will agree with you. Because it's about values. The kind of "progress" they mean is the kind you mean. Real progress isn't the internet or the new wave of smartphones, no no - that comes from America - real progress is "social progress" (as you sneaked in earlier). You're right, they perferctly agree with you. I'm German, that kind of scum used to be the majority around here.
@trouzerpants My statement is my conviction. You have insulted me without provocation, you took me for an American because you couldn't image a non-American not being a progressive (or whatever you call it) and you misinterpreted my statements to imply that there are few innovative (or productive) foreigners in the US. If you wanted to have a friendly exchange of ideas - I had them with the people who held ideas much more abhorrent to me than you do. Silence is how one betrays one's dignity.
Moreover, if you still believe in your ridiculous statement, I invite you to watch a six part BBC series called "Genius of Britain", going right back in time and ending up to where we are today, with GB still pioneering the way in many important areas.
@trouzerpants England pioneered a lot more before it introduced public education. But that's something you won't hear from the BBC. After all, they *are* public education.
@trouzerpants I admit that it wasn't a insult, but merely a talking-down - which I don't see a need to distinguish. I'm not a fool for not sharing your opinion, which is what you implied in your first response. I never wrote "all" in capital letters. All big steps of progress lately (internet, modern smartphones, social networking, etc) that really shake this world are originating in the US. Of course you sometimes see some minor invention coming from Germany or whatnot, that hardly... cont.
@trouzerpants matters. Here's the premise I disagree with: "..the US education system, that source of future scientists and innovators, has been falling behind its competitors.." Yes, the American public schools are failing. It's merely public schooling that is coming to an end, because it doesn't work, neither in high schools nor in universities. That has nothing to do with innovation. Steve Jobs was a drop-out, so are many others.
Allow me to retort. Packet Switching (basis for the 'net) was pioneered by D Davies at NPL (UK.) ARPANET got wind of his idea & merely furthered his work, even keeping Davies' name. Further work was also carried out at NPL and at CERN. Without Berners-Lee's web, the 'net would be absolutely useless. Splitting the atom, RADAR, computers, radio, TV, electricity, DNA, cloning and so much more were all pioneered in the UK. All Apple's cool stuff is designed by the Brit Johnny Ive.
Numerous Euro/Asian scientists work at S Valley, in fact, many new IT firms who set up business there are foreigners. That quote's from "The Decline and Fall of the American Empire", authored by Alfred McCoy, professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He states that US innovation is seriously on the wane. You wanna argue with him? I'll tell ya for nowt that it's Euro & Asian science that's now pioneering the way, just check what we're doing at CERN & elsewhere.
I'm cognisant that many top boffins from all around the world (including the US) also work in Europe (just as talent from all over works in the US), those who're talented enough can even get a placement at CERN, where we're pushing the very boundaries of physics. Ever heard of the LHC, of the elusive search for the Higgs Boson? We encourage collaboration, it's the way forward. Without foreigners helping America in every field pre and post WWII, it'd never have achieved anything.
BTW - y'know all those smart-phones you previously mentioned? Guess what makes 'em tick? British ARM RISC chips!
Guess who's built the world's first fully autonomous plane? The world's first "invisible" tank?
You have no idea how much innovation there is in GB and Europe as a whole. You even belittle your own nation (Germany, right) for their fantastic achievements. Look at NASA:- "One small step for mankind, one giant leap for NAZI ROCKET TECHNOLOGY!"
@trouzerpants I care a lot about pure maths (which is what I studied at university back in Germany). I'm in awe of beautiful theories and elegant proofs. But still, I have to confess that saying "no one gives a damn about it" comes very close to the truth. I would never call anyone mad for claiming it. Your tricks don't work on me, I'm too educated myself to be intimidated with the usual stuff liberals dish out - I've heard it a million times and believed a lot of it myself once.
@trouzerpants "So you stand by your statement that CERN's just a waste of time?" I never made such a statement. You either lack basic reading skills or you are intentionally misreading me. I suspect it's the latter. "You have no idea as to mine." You obviously hold many liberal premises, you stated them in this very comment section. "Yet you claim to be a mathematician?" I graduated with distinction at a German university. "You're too funny!" I'm tired of this, have a nice day.
@trouzerpants I know all this. And you again argue that foreigners work in the US, which I never disputed and which proves my point, not yours: That innovation comes from the US. The rest of your argument is either how it used to be some time ago (radar, tanks, etc.) and that Europe today has more government subsidized playthings like CERN - stuff that no one would buy voluntarily so the tax payer has to be forced (because he's stupid, I know).
I don't think you quite understand what CERN is... A gov "plaything?!" Err, no, it's just the world's most advanced particle physics lab, together with the LHC and brilliant minds, we're pushing the VERY BOUNDARIES OF PHYSICS.
To liken it to chess where no one gives a damn is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.
Your original assertion was that all innovation comes from the US. That's just a load of bollox. Yes, many foreigners work in America as do many foreigners work in Europe. This I've never disputed. Innovation comes from all four corners, from great minds wherever they have their Eureka moment. Be cognisant it was Euro science that furthered American science. Now, it appears that Euros & Asians are pioneering the way (now we've learnt to stop killing each other and work together.)
@trouzerpants "This I've never disputed." No, you stated it yourself as if it proved me wrong. "Be cognisant it was Euro science that furthered American science." Also Greek science two millennia ago. I understand that. "Innovation comes from all four corners, from great minds wherever they have their Eureka moment." Freedom from government interference has also something to do with it - which is why the great minds, once they have an idea, often have to move to the US to achieve.
Europe operates a Keynesian economic system, the very model Obama's using now. It allows for both market and planned systems to work in synergy for the best results.
No gov interference is hindering our work, on the contrary, in many areas, it augments it.
@trouzerpants I won't even argue that it's not working, it's futile to argue about such things. I simply argue that it is immoral to take peoples money to provide services they won't buy from you voluntarily. If you want CERN to be funded, find a way to do it. Don't force others to fund it against their will. If you think coercion works better, I won't bother arguing that.
@trouzerpants "(now we've learnt to stop killing each other and work together.)" What a disgusting thing to say. As if a German in WWII or an Asian in the slaughter fields of the 20th century wanted to kill anybody. Their governments (which is what you and Bill are so fond of) wanted to kill somebody (and they still do) and the people were their governments slaves. What they have learned is to stop believing in politicians who promise them meaning.
@trouzerpants The first is the only example that counts as all the rest was either in times where England was still great or refers to technology that no one is willing to pay for. Germany used to be great too. That's a long time ago. And innovation like the CERN is like innovation in chess: No one gives a damn. But I admit that if there's one country that features a shadow of made the US great, that's England. I've been living in Cambridge (UK) for years, what a difference to Germany that is.
"So in your opinion all that progress that is coming faster and faster these days, all coming from America first"
ALL progress coming from America first? You're seriously out of your mind when you claim that ALL progress (industrial, economical, social, etc) comes from America first and not the other 6.3 billion.
@GrenVo Virtually all progress of the 20th century came in America first, yes. Before that there was also England and to a lesser extent some parts of continental Europe. Also, "social progress" is progress as little as "social justice" is justice or "social market economy" is market economy. I don't mean progress as in "progressive". I mean the literal meaning.
@john42t First it was "ALL progress coming from America first" and now it's suddenly "Virtually all progress" and "the 20th century"? Pathetic manipulator....sigh.
"Before that there was also England and to a lesser extent some parts of continental Europe."
You're seriously out of your mind. Just the fact that you totally ignore the huge achievements of your own country, just shows that you belong in a mental hospital.
@aleksis28XP lol. The world sees America as the United States of America. The United States labels itself as a America. When you're from the United States, you're an American. When you're from Canada, You're a Canadian not an American. When you're from Mexico, you're a Mexican not an American. America's leaders are stupid and so is majority of it's population are brainwashed morons but a nice minority of American's are decent and so well.
@aleksis28XP THE NATION OF U.S.A AKA AMERICA IS SITUATED ON THE CONTINENT OF NORTH AMERICA SO IS CANADA, MEXICO IS IN CENTRAL AMERICA AND BRAZIL IS IN SOUTH AMERICA.....
I'll give it that America (the majority of the people) are idiots. The government on the other hand is also stupid. But they're smart enough to cheat us out of our freedoms so one day in the near future we will all be slaves to the major corporations (who actually own this country and everyone/everything in it). With this new defense bill and Obama not going to veto it everyone in America is at risk. We are now living under a fascist regime in which police and military can do whatever they want
In the end you cant blame a country, the stupidity is inside everyone of us. You youreself are youre worst enemy...finding the innerpeace in yourself is whats important.
amercia is not a stupid country they are genuis really doing 9/11 and getting away with it, the real idiots are the people who live in it not the people who run it.
Look, your spelling and grammar are terrible. It's really hard to understand you. You are a stupid American in a stupid country. If you weren't so stupid, you would have known that a long time ago.
@Sxrillez Wow.Your a fucking idiot.I don't give a shit what stupid fucking country your from.Because,really,i dont give a shit about you.A stupid foreigner that can't understand proper English.Are you fucking retarded? I'm speaking actually very fluently.So i don't know what the fuck your talking about.Maby you should get the fuck off youtube and continue to live your life in that stupid ass country of yours.You're saying i have bad grammar?My grammer and spelling are horrible? Stupid fuck.
@Sxrillez Truer words have never been spoken. And that christieeandtayler douche bag can eat a bag of his own shit. He's another ignorant overly-patriotic american who loses an argument and retaliates with heavy use of the word fuck and tries to black list you as a foreigner in his defense. And he uses the wrong form of the word "You're" continuously hahahahaha he lost that argument as soon as it started.
@Encom7 no. youre wrong. Generalizations are necessary sometimes. To say Nazis were racist ignores the .1% who werent, but its still a valid generalization. To say Greece's economy is doing bad, ignores a few sectors where it isn't, but overall, they're in the toilet. To say Americans are stupid is not based on bias. its based on the last 10, or 20, or 30 years of Americans' overall, stupid politics.
@dchris1990 - Nazis being racist is completely factual because their entire ideology was based on aryan supremacy. The Greek economic problems are factual because they need bailouts. There is no factual basis to say that 300 million Americans are stupid just because you yourself don't like who is elected to office or perhaps because people like you have the need to delude yourselves by feeling superior.
I love how people here are racing in to agree with Bill Maher. They seem to think that if they agree with Bill that somehow it automatically makes them "smart Americans" and not part of the stupid country. Enjoy your little delusions.
America=Ignorant culture obsessed with sex, celebrities and entertainment, a horrible economy, a Congress full of scumbags that can't decide on shit, a high number of obese children and adults, a public debt in the trillions now, an addiction to oil, a high teen pregnancy rate, an addiction to partying, a belief that anyone who opposes it is "evil", a general lack of concern for the enviroment or the world, a xenophobic attitude towards Muslims, a shitty public education system, etc.
@JITTERdUdEepic What are you talking about. Congress can't decide on shit? That's a stupid belief, sorry. They can decide perfectly well to work for rich donors, and that's what they do.
Bill is absolutely right...America is a very stupid country filled with a bunch of idiots. I served in the Army and fought two tours in Iraq and regret it cause this country is not worth it. Its going to hell in a hand bag fast. People only care about themselves and updating their spacebook status and every 5 mins and see how many people they can befriend. Its absolutely retarded. I live in Arizona now and the people in this area are a prime example of airheads and retards :)
Then again, I contradict myself on my last statements. Neither Americans or other nationalities are better than the other. Everyone seems to be misinformed about people of other nations because of what they are feed through the media or of what they see or hear instead of actually meeting everyone in that nation and coming to a conclusion. It just seems like a mere hate war, in my opinion.
I was born and raised in the U.S. Although some Americans aren't all "fat lazy uneducated pigs", like most of the world assumes, the majority does outnumber the minority of that scale. I wish that Americans would finally wake up and succumb to the truth.
America is stupid. The fact that so many American youth are too busy watching reality shows and worrying about worthless matter instead of knowing what is going on in our world, is pathetic. There are many Americans who are clueless about issues in the world today because their heads are so far stuck up their own asses to even care.
@cards1236 I tell you as an America that this country is truly what he says it is. We wage war on people who don't want to fight and assume ourselves as "Greatest country on earth" when we're not. I can't say that all of our countrymen are retards but i can say about 75% of us are. We have great people like steve jobs and Obama but it can't fill up the rest of the retards. I can't say america sucks cause i grew up here but i can say we have ALOT of changing to do.
Not sure why everyone is so angry about this. Americans need to take a look at themselves: they keep electing idiots to public office, constantly rant on about god, gay marriage and gun laws and they wonder why the whole world is looking at them thinking 'what the feck are you dumb-ass people doing'. It's no coincidence people think America is stupid.
America isn't a stupid country, it's a retarded country and most americans are complete ignorant boneheads. Primitive colonial savages who aren't qualified to spit shine Europe's boots.
America is the best country! We're full of geniuses who claim the socialist Orwell is a Republican, misquote Adam Smith (who believed in Progressive Taxes and government control of the market when necessary) and actually elect Republicans to office! We believe in negative liberties, despite the fact that it stopped making sense after Sociological studies rose and we defend uninnovative corporations because we're fat pigs who believe McDonalds is innovative. Go, USA, go!
@cards1236 He calls them stupid because he is a free thinker and laughs at stupid twats like you who believe in things like hell and god and are hypocritical of their own beliefs.
Why a lot of Americans who watched this are angry on this guy? Soon as they finished watching they start trolling about him and how un-American he is. Why they don't start thinking, only for 10", and admit that he might be right... after all, most of the world thinks Americans are not so bright, so... why not analyzing first?!
He may be right and if you don't start from this idea, well, let's just that you might be stupid and ignorant - that's no worst then this kind of people :(
@portalatat Take it from an American. We are extremely patriotic. Most Americans like to think that they're country is the best one in the world and shun anyone who says other wise. They think every other country in the world is fascist and we're the only ones with freedoms. -_-
@EPICsliceOFcake Yeah, that must be the indoctrination effect... time to wake up and look around, there might be other 'realities'.
I think that those people protesting on Wall Street are starting to realize that, in fact, the American freedom died a long time ago - watching them, I understand there's potential and not everything is lost :)
@EPICsliceOFcake no no no, we are only patriotic when a national tragedy happens and then that patriotism slowly fades back to the way it was...its stupid. Who are you trying to fool?
@EPICsliceOFcake Take it from a non-American. Americans are not "extremely patriotic". They're in denial. Denial is when you desperately try to convince yourself of something when in reality you know it's not true. And the whole world can see through it except for you guys. Time to wake up....
@GrenVo Kay. I don't know why you're angry at me just because of where I was born but you contradict yourself and thus make yourself look like an idiot.
He's right. Just look at the dimwits elected to Congress in the 2010 election. That conservative backlash has transformed our republic into an idiocracy. We have to blame the electorate at some point for this madness. Yes, we are a stupid fucking country.
Bill maher is an idiot asshole cocksuck JEW ugly hooknose low-life blasphemer man-cunt loser prick hebe hassidic devil worshipping take it in the ass faggot no-talent low-life blithering douchebag. true.
Their days are numbered. There are more players than just themselves such as China, Russia was the old power but now they are a shadow of their former self. There is also the EU who admittedly arn't one country but you have German, United Kingdom and France as well as many of the other European countries who can unite their strength. They just need to learn some respect for other countries once in a while, if they dont they're stupid and doomed.
i watched a tv show about this american school in the USA, and they didnt have any special needs or mental issues and about half of them didnt even know what a tomatoe was, while eating a pizza. Americans cant even tell the difference between communists and socialists, or liberals and liberalists ideologically. I just sigh loudly when Americans brag they strongest country, even though Chinese economy is rapidly approaching and soon if not already overtake their economy.
@Burnageable you so realize the will of are people to fight and destroy communism is unmatched say we were invaded they would stop at the shores and be cut and if they managed to reach the heartland they would we crushed by local towns rebelling and aiding us forces plus the UN would step in and like always win
@zayne1998 Never mentioned any form of invasion, I just said sooner or later USA is going to be the underdog in the world and i'd like to see how they cope seen as there so overly keen that they are the top dog. Besides fearing Communism is stupid, this isnt the 1960's anymore. Communism the ideology has never been put into practice successfully, with true Marxist Communism you'd have no currency or state to intervene on any level. It relies on the good nature of people and will result in utopia
We complain about our jobs being taken by foreigners but they are doing the smart thing and getting their education. Only poor people think that. We allow them to take our jobs because we are lazy. Maybe we should ge off our butts and learn something new instead of repeating the past. I can do it, I am doing it. why cant all americans do it instead of crying about it. With the technology we have today we dont even have to work in america. Hello. Telecommunication
I understand that you can be mad about calling Americaa dumb country but why you think that Europe is dumb ? If Europe would't try to imitate America ... well it would be perfect and that's a fact
@foxy1440 You do realise or ( "realize" for you americans) that it's I'm "an" American (It just makes you look better educated!) =o?? AND that "dum" is spelt dum(b) ===> dumb =D!! PEACE! ALSO EUROPE ISN'T A COUNTRY!! =D Love you xXx xD!!
America looks stupid without Bill's help.

Whaddya think CERN's 10,000's of top draw scientists care about? Pure math, physics, elegant theories & fact yet you state they're a gov toy! Too funny!

@trouzerpants Why would you have ann coulter on your show in the first place that is my point she spreads hate and maher has his little muslim thing going too so they are both butt wipes, yea sure maher is intelligent but he still plays a dangerous game muslims are the new blacks , they will be blamed for everything that is bad in the world and that as you know is very simplistic and made for people who are unintelligent.

@trouzerpants Coulter is just an idiot who gets paid for being outrageously controversial and she works well because america has plenty of people who shoot first and ask questions later, people who do not have the mentality of a child, She is easy to laugh at because she is preposterous , maher is more complex because i was a big fan of him then he made a boo boo on the 9/11 tragedy and since then he has become a hater of anything muslim related you want quotes just open your ears.

Similarly, although we used to have one of the top percentages of high-school and college graduates among the OECD countries, we’re now in the basement for high-school and the middle for college graduates. And these figures don’t take into account the leaps in educational attainment in China, Singapore, and many developing countries."

Progress, innovation, "inventions" etc, all can be traced back to the work of those gone before. Take Europe, CERN (pushing the very boundaries of physics), EADS, BAE, ESA, NPL etc. I'm not naive enough to think they're all Europeans working there, no, thousands of top notch boffins from all four corners contribute. Same with the US where numerous scientists/engineers from Europe and Asia contribute. Bill's spot on, it's an ignorant country. His criticism highlights his concern.

@trouzerpants matters. Here's the premise I disagree with: "..the US education system, that source of future scientists and innovators, has been falling behind its competitors.." Yes, the American public schools are failing. It's merely public schooling that is coming to an end, because it doesn't work, neither in high schools nor in universities. That has nothing to do with innovation. Steve Jobs was a drop-out, so are many others.

Allow me to retort. Packet Switching (basis for the 'net) was pioneered by D Davies at NPL (UK.) ARPANET got wind of his idea & merely furthered his work, even keeping Davies' name. Further work was also carried out at NPL and at CERN. Without Berners-Lee's web, the 'net would be absolutely useless. Splitting the atom, RADAR, computers, radio, TV, electricity, DNA, cloning and so much more were all pioneered in the UK. All Apple's cool stuff is designed by the Brit Johnny Ive.

I'm cognisant that many top boffins from all around the world (including the US) also work in Europe (just as talent from all over works in the US), those who're talented enough can even get a placement at CERN, where we're pushing the very boundaries of physics.

@GrenVo Kay. I don't know why you're angry at me just because of where I was born but you contradict yourself and thus make yourself look like an idiot.

You wrote "Couldn't give less of a fuck about my country" and I'm the one who is angry? The irony....
Contradict? Sorry...but you make no sense with that comment.

He's right. Just look at the dimwits elected to Congress in the 2010 election. That conservative backlash has transformed our republic into an idiocracy. We have to blame the electorate at some point for this madness. Yes, we are a stupid fucking country.

I have to agree. Not all Americans are stupid, but come on: Bush as President. That pretty much says it all.

Their days are numbered. There are more players than just themselves such as China, Russia was the old power but now they are a shadow of their former self. There is also the EU who admittedly arn't one country but you have German, United Kingdom and France as well as many of the other European countries who can unite their strength. They just need to learn some respect for other countries once in a while, if they dont they're stupid and doomed.

i watched a tv show about this american school in the USA, and they didnt have any special needs or mental issues and about half of them didnt even know what a tomatoe was, while eating a pizza. Americans cant even tell the difference between communists and socialists, or liberals and liberalists ideologically. I just sigh loudly when Americans brag they strongest country, even though Chinese economy is rapidly approaching and soon if not already overtake their economy.

@Burnageable you so realize the will of are people to fight and destroy communism is unmatched say we were invaded they would stop at the shores and be cut and if they managed to reach the heartland they would we crushed by local towns rebelling and aiding us forces plus the UN would step in and like always win

@zayne1998 Never mentioned any form of invasion, I just said sooner or later USA is going to be the underdog in the world and i'd like to see how they cope seen as there so overly keen that they are the top dog. Besides fearing Communism is stupid, this isnt the 1960's anymore. Communism the ideology has never been put into practice successfully, with true Marxist Communism you'd have no currency or state to intervene on any level. It relies on the good nature of people and will result in utopia

We complain about our jobs being taken by foreigners but they are doing the smart thing and getting their education. Only poor people think that. We allow them to take our jobs because we are lazy. Maybe we should ge off our butts and learn something new instead of repeating the past. I can do it, I am doing it. why cant all americans do it instead of crying about it. With the technology we have today we dont even have to work in america. Hello. Telecommunication
