What are some things normal people can't exactly fathom.

An example would be 1 billion dollars. The picture doesn't really help -_-.

LOL. I never really quite got that, either. Our educational system in America is supposed to be the best. But how come you see Chinese kids doing Algebra in 2nd grade or something, when I just did it in 8th?
Makes no sense.

alright buddy that crossed the line
first off
I know the u.s.'s education system sucks
Japan's rocks
what I was referring to was the millions upon millions of people that cant use common sense in their everyday lives, and insist on attack like a mindless zombie, just to fit into modern culture, or simply because they are simply to oblivious to reality

Now please lets not make this a flame

nobody said our public school education system is the best....in most parts of the country its under-funded and poorly managed....our Private colleges however are the best in the world though...even some of our public colleges could are up there on the world ranks.....but the public school system sucks, we know, they know it, everyone knows it...if you don't your probably a product of it and have been been a constant stream of bullshit education your whole life...*rant over*

My mom worked for the Philadelphia School District....im so glad to hear your school is one of the best in the nations....where in 1999 my mom had to request to have new books sent to their schools because their books one astronomy stated "Someday we hope to land on the Moon."....i still don't understand how districts like your exist while districts like ours exist...doesn't make sense does it, you think in a fair nation with equal opportunity for everyone all the public schools would be equal or at least have up to date text books.....i don't think more needs to be said on the topic

+1 Like the conservation of mass thing, if matter isn't either created or destroyed, where does it come from, is it just...there?

The interest, and every country paying off the active part of their loans, is what keeps the economy rolling. Without it, money wouldn't be worth anything.

On the fathoming economy: in Germany near the end of the war, some men had to go cash in their checks as soon as possible because at the end of the day their currency would lose so much value that they wouldn't even be able to buy a loaf of bread.

And to answer the first part of this post: there was no influx of money. Germany had to keep printing cash to pay for the war.

I hate when Americans think that they're the best in the world, which is all the time.

I'll tell you this: I've lived in Europe my whole life and it's a trillion gazillion times better.

I'll just stick with schools. They are the worst of all the first world countries.

I went public, and private schools in Europe. Both of them are better than public, and private schools in the USA. Even the European public schools are better than American private schools.

The school I go to currently is total crap and it's supposed to be one of the best in the country. In 8th grade, I was supposed to take Algebra 1, but I was too good for it so I was able to chose between either Albebra 2, or Geometry 2. I chose Algebra because Geometry is stupid.

I took Algebra 1, and Geometry 1 in the 4th grade.

Anyways, a thing I cannot fathom is time and space. How can the universe go on forever, and when did time start? If matter can not be created, where did the first matter come from?
I don't get that.

I don't get that.

Every country has people that think their country is the best in the world. Get over it. Not everyone in any country thinks theirs is the best. I damn sure don't think America is the best, and I'm born and raised USA. My father was in the marines.

Well that was total crap, good job! Please don't generalise like that, I live in America and I don't think we're the best country, by far. I go to a great private school, our public schools are majorly underfunded.

Also, if you've lived in Europe your whole life, how do you know it's better than all of America?

Ok. For one, even if other countries do believe they are the best in the world, they don't say it ALLLLLLLLLL the time, and they don't tell EVERYONE that they're the best, and they don't try to put down other countries all the time.

For example, did you see the news report about the bombs in London? The reporter was like "OMQG LONDON IZ NOT REZPECTING PPLZ PRIVACY. DEY HAVE HALV A MILLION CAMERAS IN PUBLIC PLACEZ, WHEN WE ONLY HAVE LIKE 50 THOUSAND. THEY TAP INTO FONE LYNES ALOT."
Then the other guy was like "Yeah, so that they can enforce law, letting them capture offenders. To tap into phone lines, you need a search warrant."
"TEHY R ABLE TO GET SERCH WARRENT WIT EAZ, SO IT IZ NOT GOOD BECUZ WE DO NOT DO IT IN TIZ WAI!"
"No, no. England and the US have the same requirements for getting a search warrant. England is just more diligent about getting a warrant."
"OH. OK TEHN".

I only watched it for like 5 mins, but that's what happened in the time I was watching. Sorry for all the caps and stuff, but I like to make people I don't like seem stupid. Generally because they are considered stupid anyways.

I mean, I don't like the US, but I wouldn't have such a big problem with them if they weren't so bigotted.

LOL! No difficulty levels, which means retard kids are thrown in with Einsteins, but retard kids need to come along too, so the mark you need to pass is set to the average retard kid!
How can school be good then?

IMO Sweden has the best education.
