The professors will design the material.

Yes, my educational system is not too radical; its rather conventional, actually. No competition regarding learning is what it basically is. My entire system is not too radical, either.

But oh so great!

I just can't wait! Baby oh Baby! Oh the revolutions!

Thanks for your critical and thoughtful comments. They help me think of a better system!

Any more ideas?

I'd like to see you pull it off in any Asian or Middle Eastern country. If you could get citizenship, and many of those nations aren't exactly immigration friendly, you would still need to be elected. That is incredibly unlikely. If you somehow do, you still would never gain enough support to implement it.

Asians are even more competative than Americans when it comes to education. Everything is about ranking. If you want to be someone, you go to the best school. Every major test you take, your scores are posted for everyone to see. If you try to be different, say, change your hair color or something, you get in trouble with teachers. Anyone different gets shuned and foreigners are welcome to visit, but you can't live there or you won't fit in.

Nickel Xenon,

I am Asian. I lived in India.

To me, you are wrong.

If you have to say something...you can say it without calling someone stupid. You can say the same thing without resorting to verbal abuse. People will take you more seriously if you aren't using attacks to make yourself seem more important.

I wasn't taking to India. You mentioned Middle East, so I assumed that inclulded India and Asian was more the Eastern countries. Like Japan, Korean, China, etc.

^^^^^^^ gprime made fun of me first. I offered truce, and said sorry. And he said I "won't be able to make it."

Nickel Xenon

He hasn't said anything offensive in his last post.

Those Asian countries arn't all that competitive. You know, Daoism and Confucism teach not to be competitive. Asians are just competitive because they want a good job--don't want to starve. If they know they'll not starve w/out being the best, they won't be so competitive, I think.

Are you kidding me? Every serious Japanese nerd can't stop talking about Todai. Every single anime or drama that has a school theme to it, the school is mentioned at least once. For someone that goes to cram school all the time and worked so hard in high school, not getting into Todai is life's biggest disappointment. If asians aren't so competative, why do so many school kids commit suicide? Why do kids stop going to school and lock themselves in their room? Asians aren't interested in just living, they want the prestige just as badly as any other American.

And those things he said weren't offensive at all.

^^^ Look, chap, before US imperialism of Japan after WW2. Before the US destroyed Japanese culture, it was not so competitive. It was very nationalistic, but their was not much competition between individuals.

I would return the Asian Countries to their original cultures.

Also, gprime sent me a bunch of offensive e-mails, and yes, his post was rather offensive. How does he know I can't get citizenship and make it? He also called me a Nazi and said that Palestine did not exist before WW2.

Nickel Xenon

But the fact is, Japan is competative now. Even more so than American schools and I doubt you can change that. It's become a part of their culture now. What if they don't want to return to the old way? What if they like being competative?

^^^ Then I won't take over Japan. I will only lead countries that want me.
