I'm not sure what you mean by my irrational fear of the world.

I have no problem learning from other countries.  I know it's not a big thing, but I've always thought we should be better with teaching languages.  Europeans are much better at becoming fluent or close to it in at least one other language.

Fear of socialism... just socialism... :) not the world. The WORD... :)


"Free" education means... you can study, get out of your studies and start your life without a huge debt as startup package. An idea that actually should somehow apply to americvan ways... help those who help themselves and all that. "Free" education - which means affordable for everyone - leads to more critical people, which is a good thing for a democracy. Just an opinion. I can't convince anyone of course that that's the better way, I just strongly feel so. But it's not about me convincing anyone or about you doing the same things we do. I wouldn't want to be that arrogant, and I never meant it that way. I merely talked about the absence of these voices in your debates. The absence of a "left". You don't have to follow left-wing ideas to appreciate that the ideas are there to be discussed.
I don't really know if I can make myself clear...


...but so be it. I find i slightly amusing that you think our learning languages faster is our most valuable asset :)
