BTW.....don't read this.

And yet somehow, the actual ranking of students is always higher in Australia in terms of reading, science and maths?

Wrong, ya darn pinko. Get yer priorities right, or me an' the boys'll haul your sorry ass off ta Gitmo. We need to be teaching them thar ankle-biters to memorize tracts of the Constitution, which our father's father's father's father's fathers wrote, in their infinite wisdom and foresight. And then, once they know dat, we can go a huntin' some immigrants!

The reason the US scores so low in education is because it is an average. It is estimated that about twenty five percent of all Mexican Citizens live in the States with their children attending American Schools. Half of all students in those schools speak a language other then English at home.

What is wrong with moonshine, it is now made in legal distilleries, taxed and sold in stores all over the country? Apple Pie and Blackberry are my favorites.

Is there any actual proof of that mort, or is that something you've come up with on your own

When you come from a culture as different as Mexico is from the US there is a large learning curve in the school systems. Some never catch up and drop out before they graduate.

Some parents send their children to an English only private preschool like the one my wife was the director of to give them a head start. It is common for the children to need to translate for the parents.

Americans have a negative birth rate and the government needs the herd to grow to support its bureaucracy so the borders are wide open. Come one, come all except more white folks unless they have really valuable skills.

Again a fact, reference, evidence might help here.

But I suppose my question is this, given the state of the US military, how would even the current armed populace hope to succeed in overcoming a tyrannical government.

With over 100 million Gun Owners, it's very possible when you remember that each & every Military Personnel takes a sworn oath to first & foremost defend the US Constitution, the entire Constitution including the Second Amendment, (not the flag or the Country, & least of all not the Government), & they are obligated by that same oath not to obey illegal orders.

Besides, all Military Personnel are Americans too, first & foremost, & wouldn't take lightly an order to fire on their fellow Americans.

A while back I read a poll of the Military which asked if they would fire on (shoot to kill) fellow Americans, & less than 30% said they might depending on the circumstances.

I find it easy to imagine that if push came to shove more than 50% would desert & join the anti-government forces. Wink

I thought it appropriate to note the Military oaths, & what they swear to defend.....
not a person, not a Nation, but a document.... The Constitution of the United States first & foremost.

Here are those oaths:

Source: Military.com Quote:

The Oath of Enlistment (for enlisted):

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

The Oath of Office (for officers):

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the _____ (Military Branch) of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

The US Military is all volunteer, & enlistees are very aware of this oath, & as Americans willing to die for what they believe in, hold the Constitution, America's most respected & revered document, in their highest regards, & do not make solemn pledges to defend it lightly.

Never underestimate their loyalty to the Constitution based upon that oath. Wink

Non-Americans may have a difficult time with that.

Oh, & lest I forget:
