How the fuck can you say, with a straight face, that conservatives screwed education?

Education in this country has been under the control of liberals for over 30 years. If it's not tenured Professors free to preach their crap, it's teacher's unions refusing to fire lousy teachers.

This is just more liberal douchebaggery, from a liberal douchebag source (Newsweek)

Oh boy oh wow, the teachers union, yeah sure they have the little fuckers 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours a day, and it is the teachers fault. Before we begin bitching about lousy teachers, let us bitch first about (ready for it??) FUCKING SHITTY PARENTS. Parents that clearly do not give a shit if their kid does his /her homework, parents that expect the school to do their fucking job of parenting, parents that constantly defend "little johnny" when the little fucker is a terror in the school, yeah all that will end if we do away with the teachers unions.

Caterpillar D-9? maybe dude?

Educationally,
Some Knucklehead in NJ

Nope, Deputy Marshal...I agree with the shitty parents comment, but you have to combine that with piss poor education taught in schools these days.

Joether, you make me want to break TOS.

Firstly...no, in the UK, there is not a % of people living on less than USA$2 per day. I don't particularly have a source for this (I also don't have a source for the lack of lion attack related deaths in the UK)...but it's not really relevant compared to the other, easily demonstrated, points.

The stats they give for (2 out of 3) sectors of the UK economy add up to MORE than 100%. It's like saying I'm half English, half Dutch, AND quarter Chinese. These stats CAN NOT possibly be correct, and previous to this (4th!!) post on the matter, I'd thought this would be massive to obvious to anyone who....well, fuck..anyone.

To give a couple of examples with a source, as apparently logic & maths aren't your strong points.

A: If you compare two nations under the 'Economic dynamism' section, it gives the 'winner' of the 'Ease of Doing Business' section as the higher number....although these are (apparently, I don't trust any of that info) rankings from the World Bank (ie lower numbers are better).

B: The surprisingly low score for UKs 'political environment' comes partially from a suspiciously low score for stability for the flexible mother of all democracies....and partially from a score of 5.00 from the Democracy Index.

5.00 would put the UK as a 'hybrid regime'...between Uganda & Cambodia. UKs actual rating is 8.15.

4th attempt: THIS LIST CONTAINS MULTIPLE MASSIVE FACTUAL ERRORS. IT IS NOT WORTH SHIT.
