the external shed/garage is part of the "home". Everything on the property adds or removes from the value of it and therefore how much it is taxed. You pay tax on the property not the house.
my point is, before I can look for a link I need to know what you define as "performance". Employment rate after graduation? Student satisfaction? some objective program quality?
Well yes, of course, and America has some damn fine schools but I'm sure if you were to gather every person on the earth you could find women objectively more attractive than either, but since only people famous enough to be well known can get mass vote then only actresses/models can ever win an open vote on the subject.
I'm not denying you have some very good schools I think the issue is that because your system all but requires everyone to get post secondary education and offers little financial assistance to help them reach the better ones along with the mass competition your system as a whole is broken and reduces the meaning and quality of your degrees in general. Basically it's like a team with 3 of the best athletes on it that's being managed by someone completely incompetent. Yes they're probably still doing well but it's despite the system as opposed ot because of it.
The problem is that the Majority of American students will have to go to what you call "Joke" universities because your system all but requires everyone to get post secondary education and offers little financial assistance to help them reach the better ones along with the mass competition
I'm not denying you have some very good schools I think the issue is that your system as a whole is broken and reducing the meaning and quality of your degrees in general.
The problem is things like this: Talk to a Os X or Windows (I know they aren't OSS but the concept is the same) user about the other. The arguments they make are so far exaggerated and removed from present reality that it's mind blowingly obvious that they have literally never used the thing they're complaining about.
And this isn't just a few extremists this is the PREVAILING attitude among Windows/Os X users and I'll bet it's the same in the OSS world.
For the reason I actually stated. it has the most well known schools therefore the most well peer reviewed schools therefore the highest score. It's like how Megan Fox/Christina Hendricks are not actually the most attractive women in the world but will always win the polls because the majority of the contestants aren't well known enough to compete. And either way it's the system as a whole that's under scrutiny, not the individual Schools. I'm not denying you have some very nice schools. It's the concept that your system as a whole is superior.
Yes yes and when my lung collapsed I didn't actual get "free healthcare" because my taxes are slightly higher than yours. I would rather have higher taxes and the services whenever I need them then not be able to attend a good university because my family lives on one civil servant's income. You disagree, whatever. I'm not having a socialism/libertarianism debate.
First one is basically just a rank of most popular/well known. U of T isn't Canada's most prestigious school in terms of any metric related to quality of programs, it's the most internationally well known and it outranks our actual best school (McGill) by about 80 points.
Check the Methodology on the second one. It's mostly a giant popularity contest where the more well known a school is the higher it's chances of ranking highly. And since America has such a high population they wash out any other country.
I'm not saying America doesn't have some of the best schools overall, with a population your size and the concept of "the American dream" you were able to pull some major skill and form some of the best individual schools, but to say your system as a whole is inherently the best because a lot of your schools rank well is fallacious. You have ridiculous tuition costs, a joke k-12 (I'll admit my countries is actually slightly worse.) which means that most of your schools can't offer that advanced of programs with the number of people who attend after High School. It's the same as how you dominate the olympics. It's not because you have the best sports program necessarily, it's because you have the largest body to pull from and the name recognition to pull talent in.
You actually implied exactly that when you said "You know, the schools people come to attend from across the globe?" and then listed all American schools. As opposed to "here are some of the MOST attended by international students"
Really? US News says the US has the best schools I am shocked. Check their Methodology. It's mostly a giant popularity contest where the more well known a school is the higher it's chances of ranking highly. And since America has such a high population they wash out any other country.
Second off, even if that is true it doesn't mean you have a better system it means the third world THINKS you have a better system. "America" is a brand name that has come to stand for the concept of the first world. You are the "kleenex" of the world. Even if you aren't the highest quality facial tissue, you're still the one everyone wants. And yes, that IS the best analogy I can think of. I'm not an english student.
Half of my program is international students. I'm in Canada. So unless they were looking for Maine and wandered a bit far north I'd say that's a bit of a moot point.
Yeah, but your country is frankly ridiculous. I'm in Canada and I pay $900/semester + book costs. My friends in the states are looking at something like 14,000 for that in what practically amounts to a community college.
Most first world nations have tons of internationals. Up here in Canada at least half my program is international. It's not "America is awesome" it's "My country is not awesome."

They bettered have done it!
Those claims are groundless! I may have to charge you with libel.
wire you so insistent of ending our fun? Do you find puns re-volt-ing or something?
Then you say "yeah, no that pool doesn't exist." and they send an inspector and you don't have to pay anything.
$75,000 TOTAL from all violations combined. The fine is about 300 - 400 I believe.

Much like India, China has socioeconomic issues keeping them back. That's how they're off the list.

How are you defining "performance"?
The problem is things like this: Talk to a Os X or Windows (I know they aren't OSS but the concept is the same) user about the other. The arguments they make are so far exaggerated and removed from present reality that it's mind blowingly obvious that they have literally never used the thing they're complaining about.

Housing the highest ranked universities != best university system.
For the reason I actually stated. it has the most well known schools therefore the most well peer reviewed schools therefore the highest score.

it is likely the best university system in the world.

You've been using touchscreen keyboards without tactile feedback without looking at them your entire life?! Well alright then, I AM impressed.
