    WEAKENED regulations??? How much weaker could they get??? Our diet is already 103% high fructose corn syrup. The other 47% is grease!

    SOME people tell me that those numbers don’t add up, but I checked. They do add up. 103% + 47%. Those are the numbers! What? You think I’m wrong??? I’m using the same math skills they taught in 11th grade at public schools, here in the USA! Basic math! I know my stuff! Even Scott Steiner checked my math. He said it spells disaster for you at sacrifice!

      You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Lost_My_Mind and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another commentor, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I’m a genetic freak and I’m not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can’t beat me and he’s not even gonna try! So Lost_My_Mind, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Lost, the numbers don’t lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.

      It’s a historical fact that Europeans are very bad at math, since they waste so much time on useless topics like history in school. In the US, we do it right: The Book about American history is about 3 times thicker than the world history book! No time wasted on heathen stuff like the Age of Enlightenment or the blasphemic utterings of old greeks!

        US history and World History are taught as two separate subjects. Ypu should know more of your own history than that of foreign nations because US history is more directly relevant to modern Americans lives than say the Crusades or the history of Denmark would be.

        A lot of what you are complaining about is that the USA isn’t as Eurocentric as you would hope they would be.

          I’d say it is rather important to know where you are coming from. The people colonizing the USA did not appear out of thin air, but out of a complex group of nations with a wealth of backgrounds, which is completely lost if you don’t learn enough about the world at large. And this is not about eurocentrism at all, since there are a lot of people out of African and Asian nations too.

          I also think it is not surprising that the average American doesn’t know shit about the complicated development of the human race, which comes with a shocking ignorance towards ideas like humanism and why the founding fathers were so adamant about the separation of church and state, which is increasingly becoming lost in the USA (hint: it’s because the founding fathers knew about all this stuff!).

          If you compress 10,000 years into a third of 250 years, this is what you get.
