But take a random selection of Korean kids and pit them against a random selection of American kids and I feel bad for the American kids because they will get butt-hurt in any mental challenge.


The American kids won't feel bad because no matter the outcome their parents and teachers will give them trophies and tell them how great and special they are.


Everything great comes from 'Mericans". They think everyone knows that.

Back at home, nobody I knew thought our country was so great. On the contrary, everybody's talking about how crappy it is. As far as the
trophies go, doesn't the developed world do the same thing with their children? The other day, I saw a Korean kid who couldn't be more than 8 or 9 years old with a black belt.
