Criticism from The Crimson

This article discloses how ignorant and incompetent Americans are. I will be attending Oxford next year, and I am so glad I did not opt for an idiotic education at Harvard. Oxford undergrad >> Harvard undergrad.
Honestly, in Europe we know about the shortcomings of American: only speak one language, narrow-minded attitude, imperialistic ideology, and freaking puritan attitude. Yet this article just proves my point further. I hope I will not be meeting spoiled brats like the two ill-educated people who authered this articel.</p>

<p>Honestly, if your president is as idiotic as students from the supposedly best university in the world, that means I am staying away from the states.</p>

rodin123: Amusing how the self proclaimed epitome of British intelligence cannot spell “authered this articel” C’mon, lighten up. Sure the authors were largely negative, but that supported the point they wished to claim and made the article more interesting to read. Relax. Oh, and for the record, I speak three languages fluently and can survive with a fourth if mimicry is permitted.<br>
xedx: I agree.</p>

Inaina: Rodin never said he was Brit. In fact, for a Brit he sounds far too pro-Europe. :p:

Inaina, I accept your challenge! I’ve quoted the exchange above, to save us both a headache…</p>

<p>So, what do we have? Firstly, Rodin says some rather stupid things that don’t help in any way whatsoever. Then, you remark that the “self proclaimed epitome of British intelligence” can’t spell. The irony isn’t lost on me, but if that’s not you calling him a Brit, I don’t know what is. I think I was correct in saying that nowhere did he say he was a Brit. Come to think of it, he didn’t proclaim himself as the epitome of intelligence either, unless you know him from from another thread and I’ve just missed something.</p>

<p>As for your convoluted logic designed to back me into a corner, unfortunately it involves quoting something I never said. I never mentioned him “not representing British sentiments”. Lets face it, there are some pretty ignorant people in Britain who feel that way, but I don’t think he’s one of them. If I had thought he was Brit, I would have said what you thought I said, and not said what I actually said (so I say), and I certainly wouldn’t have bothered with the “he didn’t say he was a Brit” comment. Hence, I maintain consistency. ;)</p>

<p>Deep breath. :)</p>

<p>EDIT: In the post I made before this one, I meant ‘terminology’, not ‘technology’. I can’t edit it because I posted it too long ago. This is why I shouldn’t post in the wee hours of the morning. :p</p>
