Do you see my point on CO2 ommissions?
On the US Education system?

First my opinions on CO2 ommission don't come from German media but rather from source like worldchaning.com (which is pretty international).
It is true that German media is also pro doing something about global warming, but I don't really think that you got the cause and effect there right. Since Germans are for doing something (as expressed in the media) against global warming there is political pressure to do something about it.
German media (or myself personly) might not like the US Education system but they certainly don't like the German one either.
On the university level we even have abondand our old system with magister and diplom for one with bachloer and master which are used by the US and Great Britain (and it seems we have rather copied the disadvantages than the benefits of the US system but that is another matter).

Patriotism isn't natural. The Allies did a good job after WWII to eredicate it and install a distrust in nationalism. This also has a bit to do with the cultural movement of 68'.

Isn't this about taking the US down a few notches? I can see that you hold the US to a higher level than China. I also think that you hold the US to a higher level than Germany and are more critical of the US than Germany.

Is thread is about how to change the US.
A stronger right of free speech is something that I like in the US system.
In the other thread you are more critical (as in negative) than I am on the way power works in the US system.

My statement serves multiple functions and is relative. Its symbolic and so therefore rises above the individual...

But your sample is unrepresentive when you select for those people who prefer the American way of live enough over the German one to settle over.
