I am a 41 year old European and the world so far seems quite predictable. Perhaps you weren't keeping up with global politics/economics and science, or were not taught enough of it in school? Because where we are vis-a-vis climate change was foretold years ago, along with many alternate but largely similar scenarios; countries made pandemic plans (and directors made pandemic movies) way before Covid hit; the Middle East is still mired in mess, like it's been all my life; China has been on this political and economic growth curve  for many years, just like my economics teacher explained in high school. However I am aware that some parts of [b]the US did not have stellar K-12 and university systems decades ago [/b]- so some of this may have escaped your notice. [/quote]

Just wow . . .[/quote]

No one cares. Go back to Europe where you can surround yourself with equally well-educated jerks.[/quote]

I don't think European education is so stellar, especially since a 41 year old like yourself seems to forget what the American contributions were during WWII. Interesting how those uncouth, uneducated American oafs managed to die by the droves so you can now sit here in arrogant judgement. [/quote]

No one’s said anything against American contributions in WWII; they don’t have to be mentioned every single time Americans and Europe are discussed. Thinking that they do is what is arrogant.

(For the record, though, they are extensively taught to Europeans, especially the French.)[/quote]

I would hope that it would be taught to the French, who have a very romanticized view of the resistance.[/quote]
