My memories of school in the USA confirm the woeful state of education there: I went from third form in the UK to grade six for most subjects and seven for English (I was reading Colditz when I arrived) and Mathematics (gotta love algebra). Damn you British and your Geography <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And their arrogant idolisation (word?) of their hell-spawned language. :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not idolisation, just utility: English is the Whore-mother of all languages, borrowing, stealing and anglicizing words from any and every language that has anything to say. No qualms, no reservations: from schadenfreude to dinghy, pythagoras to alcohol. (Hangover from Empire days, for sure. The French are very jealous.) " Also I am still a beginner on other languages, English is my personal favourite because I have spent so much time learning as many of her idiosyncracies as I can ...

FaramirK Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 How bout Russia FaramirK? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would like to think that if a mighty nation invaded Russia, my fellows would be shaken out of the sex/crime/pleasure/drug/vodka crazed state most of them are currently in and be able to not only drive them out but march all the way to their capital and level it, but I don't hold out much hope. Our army is lazy and our weapons are obsolete. Our Nuclear Deterent is pretty much all we have left. God bless the Рокетчки.

Not entirely The British,Americans and Russians divided the world amongst themselves They're all to blame. Let's not forget we were getting our ass kicked when we turned on the Germans. And in the late 60's Ceausescu actually reformed the party politics. People opened stores...censorship almost dissapeared. Then he went insane and adopted some stupid asian comunist ideas Are you nuts? The USA spends more on its military than the rest of the entire world, put together! Nobody conquered Russian...nobody

Interesting "what if"...what if Жуков (Zhukov) had taken power either from Stalin right after WW2 or after Stalin's death, instead of helping Khruschev into power? The Soviet Union might still be around, and alot happier.
psycho_leo Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Russia was never conquered by force, just by money.
