Titolo: Soccer vs Baseball vs American Football

 Tell us their first names first.
You are way too slow and stupid to know them anyway. But tell me, why is
that if you ask anybody outside the US to mention an american football
player most likely they don't know any except Dan Marino who appeared in Ace
Ventura???
How come David Beckham, Ronaldo and company are known everywhere in the
world???

You are in the US. I am not. Dave Beckham and Ronald [insert last name]
could walk down the street and I couldn't tell them from any other schmuck
walking by.
Even if a football player or basketball player is unknown to some Euro, they
know that person is an athlete from their superb conditioning and 99th
percentile strength or other physical attributes. Since soccer is made for
unathletic, normal people, they melt into their pathetic surroundings.

 That must be why countries in Europe clean up in the Olympics.
They really do. My country, whose size is the one of approximately
California, holds three soccer world cups (only second to Brazil). We have
the top Volleyball (both men and women), Waterpolo (both men and women),
Fencing and second best Basketball national team in the world. We are part
of the big six of rugby (the real deal compared to American Football). We
have also won several golds in swimming, gymastycs and track (mostly long
distances). Finally, for several years, Alberto Tomba was the best skier of
all.

 in all respects than any soccer queer.
I really don't think a 300 lbs kid can do all that. He definately can eat
400 lbs of cheeseburgers and fries though.

cup by only competing in two out of four downhill disciplines. Won more than

Here is an outlook on American literacy in geography (second worst after
their fellow Mexicans, 11% of Americans can't find their own damn country on
a map! ROTFL!):
from 
www.nationalgeographic.com
In a nation called the world's superpower, only 17 percent of young adults
in the United States could find Afghanistan on a map, according to a new
worldwide survey released today.
The young U.S. citizens received poor marks generally in geography. But
then, as results showed, their counterparts in other countries were hardly
star students.
The National Geographic-Roper 2002 Global Geographic Literacy Survey polled
more than 3,000 18- to 24-year-olds in Canada, France, Germany, Great
Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden and the United States.
Sweden scored highest; Mexico, lowest. The U.S. was next to last.
"The survey demonstrates the geographic illiteracy of the United States,"
said Robert Pastor, professor of International Relations at American
University, in Washington, D.C. "The results are particularly appalling in
light of September 11, which traumatized America and revealed that our
destiny is connected to the rest of the world."
About 11 percent of young citizens of the U.S. couldn't even locate the U.S.
on a map. The Pacific Ocean's location was a mystery to 29 percent; Japan,
to 58 percent; France, to 65 percent; and the United Kingdom, to 69 percent.
Are Young U.S. Citizens Americentric?
Despite the threat of war in Iraq and the daily reports of suicide bombers
in Israel, less than 15 percent of the young U.S. citizens could locate
either country.
More young U.S. citizens in the study knew that the island featured in last
season's TV show "Survivor" is in the South Pacific than could find Israel.
Particularly humiliating was that all countries were better able to identify
the U.S. population than many young U.S. citizens. Within the U.S., almost
one-third said that population was between one billion and two billion; the
answer is 289 million.
"It gives the sense that there is this Americentric thing going on-that we
are big and powerful and have all these people in our country," said John
Fahey, President and CEO of the National Geographic Society.
On the other hand, Pastor suggests that the results could mean that most
young Americans just have no idea of the total world population (about six
billion).
Poor Geographic Literacy Worldwide
Young adults worldwide are not markedly more literate about geography than
the Americans.
On average, fewer than 25 percent of young people worldwide could locate
Israel on the map. Only about 20 percent could identify hotspots like
Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq.
Of all the young adults in the survey, only about one-third in Germany,
Sweden and Japan, could name four countries that officially acknowledge
having nuclear weapons. In the rest of the countries that number dropped to
less than a quarter. In France 24 percent did not know that that their own
country was a nuclear nation.
The survey results are not all bleak, says Roger Downs, head of the
geography department at Pennsylvania State University, in State College, and
a National Geographic geographer-in-residence in 1995-1996.
Geography Not Valued in Schools
Since the last Geographic-sponsored survey in 1988, said Downs, the
percentage of young U.S. citizens who reported taking a geography course in
school rose from 30 to 55 percent. And students who had studied geography
did better on the current survey.
U.S. schools generally have slighted geography. "If geography is not in the
curriculum," Downs said, "it's not tested-and that says to the students that
it is not valued."
The schools are not solely to blame, either. "Wouldn't it be nice if parents
also read atlases to their children?" Downs says.
Questions covering current events or practical activities yielded more
promising results.
Most young U.S. citizens knew that Africa was most affected by the AIDS
epidemic, and about half knew that El Niño caused erratic weather.
"When geography and life intersect, people pay attention," said Nick Boyon,
senior vice president for international research at RoperASW, in Manhattan.
Boosting Geography
Geographic knowledge increases through travel and language proficiency,
among other factors.
In the highest-scoring countries-Sweden, Germany and Italy-at least 70
percent of the young adults had traveled internationally in the last three
years, and the majority spoke more than one language (in Sweden, 92 and 89
percent, respectively).
In the U.S. and Mexico only about 20 percent had traveled abroad during the
same period and the majority spoke only one language.
To fight geographic ignorance, and apathy, among young people in the U.S.
and around the world, the National Geographic Society will convene an
international coalition of leaders in American business, education and
media.
Next year the panel will recommend initiatives to policymakers in those
areas-and to parents and children.

Verdi's music is boring and juvenile, and he spent his whole life wishing he 
had the talent of a Hector Berlioz or a Franz Liszt. Aida is nothing more 
than an excuse to parade an elephant and a giraffe across the stage. La 
Traviata is the worst bastardization of music ever to be foisted off on an 
unsuspecting world, a world which had already been so horribly subjected to 
Nabucco. Otello is a five-year-old's comic book ripped off of Shakespeare. 
Rigoletto is a pedophilic rape fantasy. The Requiem is a gaudy, tacky mockery 
of death and loss covered in mascarpone and Sambuca. La forza del destino is 
a pale imitation of Wagner.
But I pontificate unnecessarily, as I have the sneaking suspicion that you 
know no more of Verdi than his name.

I don't know. You should be telling *me*, since you're the one pushing

And of course Vikings are "still Europeans", jackass. I said so myself five 
posts ago, in counter to your comedic assertion that an Italian discovered 
America.
But at least by acknowledging (albeit tacitly and cravenly) the fact that the 
Vikings "discovered" America before the Italians, you've demonstrated at 
least a rudimentary capacity for learning. I have to admit that I'm surprised 
at that revelation.
