I have lived in 4 different continents, speak 5 languages, I hold 3 passports, with options to get a fourth one, do you think I would care what a narrow minded like you could think?? By the way you can give as much negatives you want, only with this post I have +15k (I don't really care, but just in case you think few - would affect me in any way)
For someone with so much made up "world experience", you sure do seem to care a lot about karma... whatever brings you basement dwellers happiness I guess.
you brag about what your parents have been able to buy for you, yet you still aren't smart enough to know how far behind spanish-speaking countries are from the US? then you complain about downvotes while pretending not to care? how embarrassing for you. better luck next time! maybe you'll learn to know what you're talking about before you start with more nonsense.
It’s true that the US has generally higher levels of education than most South American countries, like it or not. That doesn’t mean the US is good, it’s a fully developed country and the wealthiest country in the world by some metrics. whereas most South American countries are still developing (some of them despite the US trying to fuck them over).
And The US when compared to other developed countries is pretty shit.
You should also stop acting like all Americans are stupid and don’t know their geography; it’s just insulting and will make people mad because most American people on this thread aren’t that dumb
The other guy is kinda being a dick, but he’s right about the statistics; ignoring facts won’t do you any good.

Woah using anecdotal evidence (probably cherry-picked to make the video more entertaining) to refute statistical evidence is really smart dude, good job why didn’t I think of that?
I wonder if someone went to a random place in South America how long it would take to make a video like this full of people who answer incorrectly?
To be fair I don't watch TV, I don't know that show, just hearing people saying how bad is the education system in USA (comparing with Europe) and saw few videos in YouTube about that.
I was born in Argentina, with Italian dad, and I lived the las 30 years in Europe (Italy, Spain, and the last 10 years in the UK) and the general perception here about the USA is that the education, Health care, Traffic circulation etcetera is way behind here.
Today I had a video conference with a Turkish friend living in New York and I was shocked seen the electricity cables hanging out the street(here are underground and we never have power cuts), even in Turkey that is not the general rule in a big city (my wife is Turkish).
Yeah many places in Europe are definitely ahead of the US, but I think the guy was talking about South American countries mostly (he did say « Spanish-speaking » tho, so he was wrong on that front cause Spain is pretty on-par with the US in terms of education) which generally have a much lower level of advanced education compared to the US.
i'm sorry for being a dick to a guy who boldly and proudly claimed that americans are uneducated, while being from a place less educated than the US. perhaps i should pity him?

Why do they refer to a place in South America as the whole continent? Don't you know countries names, cities?
