Counterfeit Chinese Cables

Modern education was settled by corporate lobbies interests one century ago because the average citizen was determined to be no more than a specialized slave worker not an enlightened citizen ... Then it was not necessary to teach synthesis in an interdisciplinary perspective and intuition and freedom at all ... I will stop here ...

...At 14 years of age(8th grade), I've started basic calculus as part of my general education in Soviet Union. 

At 21 years of age, I moved to USA and noted that 8th-graders are just learning arithmetic operations over fractions that I've learned in the 2nd grade. At 18 years of age, I thought and still think that I would never be able to bear the load Chinese students bear when I visited Shanghai -- the City of Lights. Their learning material especially on maths and physics a LOT bigger than in SU. 

Those US citizens that never seen anything outside, should start thinking

Today the mind is closed ONLY if we choose to close it ourself...

I never traveled in my life ...😊 And was not tempted too because all my money was in books and music ...

The world of news is at the tip of our fingers...

I can read anything about anything and i do ...

Those who are closed minds are such by free choice ...It is easier to be mind closed ...

My best to you and my apology if i was rude because i misunderstood your post it seems ...

@czarivey 

If Russians were so brilliant compared to Americans, why is it that so many Russians don't have flushing toilets? 

@roxy54 You are, sir confirming and proving my points like no one else I’ve ever socialized with, but I don’t blame you -- It’s corporations that made your education so incomplete and unestablished.

Those who think that they can get an idea about the world from the news at their finger tips are extremely delusional exactly just like you roxy.

After all, it's never late to learn especially if you've done it sometime before at least once.

It's rather off-putting when the 'cable topic' (or whatever is being discussed, dis'd, or cussed over) that the tendency is to turn on each other... 😒😔

@mahgister  I can appreciate your somewhat more 'classical education' in that it gave you a broader view and scope to allow the potential to strike out into further 'realms'.  Additional languages allow one to have a different POV, rather than being locked into ones' native tongue...

Lucky you...I'll admit to a tang of jealousy on that....*G*👍

I've tried in my own wayward way to look through the oil on the surfaces to have a mindset of a more fluid fashion....perhaps it shows in my anguish english and outright abuse of it. *L*

....sometimes....the penchant for wrangling over the differences of perception of the varied means and methods of enjoying (or not) drives me more into 'the silence of the keys'.  Or the desire to make a pointed 'comment' that would further brand me an odd sort of troll/miscreant....

I don't know everything...and personally, thankfully, proud of it.

Otherwise, hanging 'round A'gon....would be the needle-less haystack.

When it's good, it's very good....brilliant at times.

When sunk to rancor and attacks....

" And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still bugs me now
That's the thing, it lingers
And claws you when you're down

I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
That's the thing with anger
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
Makes you hurt the ones who love you

You hurt them like they're nothing
