    if it was "It was the fault of banks around the world who sucked at the teet of bad debts" than you cannot also make the claim that it was the US' fault in entirely, since those 2 statements would be contradicting.

    My stats teacher would fail me for even asserting such nonsense. with over 67000 elementary schools in the US 1 school by itself would be the worst kind of sample used for a statistical analysis. Even still your arguments problem has everything to do with logic. You made the claim that something messed up locally was indicative of a national issue , without any supporting base for such an argument.

    No, the US debt is not, the UK has more than half the debt the US has. In fact to get to factor of 10 we would have to go all the way doen to number 11, as Luxembourg, Spain, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Germany, France, and the UK all are within that factor.

    So a local issue, as in local elementary and middle school, shows how fucked up the entire country is? Do you even understand logic?

    Um it is not splitting hairs. the country is large, the only person trying to split hairs is you

    So not only do you have a loose grasp on relatives, but exponential as well, or can you tell me which of those 2 countries boast more than 90,000,000,000,000,000? That would be tough since that would be much larger than the population of earth, Or do you mean exponential as in it is larger than that of the US, but does not really reach a square or larger? A more apt statement would be by a factor, of about 4 really.

    Yes, what about the middle east statement was factually inaccurate? a lot of those countries require worship of specific religions or you can be killed, or are you disputing that most of the countries that do what you state are in the middle east? Or are you make an idiotic assertion that I dislike the middle east for some reason?

    So according to your logic if there was 7m countries on the planet, each having 1000 people average, but one of them having 2000, it would not be a large country because your lose grasp on relative terms only allows you one option? When we deal with relatives there are many different things you can be relative to. Relative to all the other countries on the planet (except India and China) the USoA is a Very large country, with 50% more people than number 4

    Also I will stick with my math and science. Also as to your last sentence, there are logs of fucked up places on the earth where that is considered the social norm, most of them are in the middle east, but there are plenty elsewhere.
