Sir Kill Alot wrote in Happy 4th of July Folks!:Edit: obviously historians have looked at both sides of the events in great detail, my question was more along the lines of teachings in grade/secondary schools.

Kids in the UK are taught that the UK’s view of the world is superior to all others because we are morally better people, kinder and more generous, and that’s why everyone considers the UK a utopia and move heaven and earth to get here.

It’s the UK exceptionalism doctrine. I believe others have copied and adapted it to their own countries, which only goes to show (so the story goes) just how exceptional our education system really is.

Our kids generally as as ignorant as most people you’re likely to meet. They are as gullible as any, as susceptible to buy into any political doctrine that absolves them of the need to use their brain and provides them with an excuse for not excelling at anything.

I suspect there’s nothing here that surprises anyone.

Of course, there’s no way we will ever teach our children about what we really do to people, what we have done to people in the past, or how the world around them operates. To be fair though, most parents in the UK are just as ignorant and haven’t a clue about British history. Something like 1 in 10 reads 1 or more books a year. With the average IQ in the UK only in double figures, and 9 in 10 unable to read a single book in a whole year, our kids educations are being destroyed by their mums and dads.

One throwback to our colonial days is that those immigrants who come into the UK from our former colonies (and other outlying nations) generally have a higher IQ than their native borne British counterpart. The come here with qualifications and motivation to learn and prosper. The push the average IQ in our society up. Imagine how dumb the UK population average would be without immigration to keep up in the high double digits!

Isn’t that one of the big conspiracy theories Alex Jones and the horses on his ranch bang on about all the time, and that nutter Chris Duane who thinks the UK Royal Family rule the world. I think they are all puppets. They only do what the aliens in Antarctica tell them to do.

Alex jones has been getting his orders from G.W.A.R.?!

I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about...ranch banging aliens from Antarctica sounds like a bad porn movie from the 80's.

What is GWAR? AJ just went mental. Taking too much of his own homeopathic products maybe?

Ah. An acquired taste. Like 12 oz. Mouse.
