    This you?

    I’m pretty sick of Americans feeling picked on.

    You have an illiteracy rate of like 20%. Make a real public school system and then we’ll talk.

    You weren’t just making fun, you were saying you’re sick of us being bothered when people made fun of us.

        @masterspace Yeah, but YOU are the one who brought public school into it and you did it in a clever little jokey way.

          Because the quality of education affects intelligence, or more specifically, the ability to hold more/less complex witcher plotlines together in your head, so it is a rationale thing to bring up when discussing whether or not Americans are actually capable of holding more/less complex witcher plotlines together in their heads.

          You punched down

          No, I merely held up a mirror and caused you to have a temper tantrum
