Nah, all he's really saying is "blah blah, I'm retarded." He just likes to beat around the bush a bit.

Here is an interesting point. GPA doesnt depict intelligence nearly as well as you think it might. Furthermore, who is to say Michigan State is even a place where it is hard to do so?
Secondly, so I'm skiing down a run at this new place called "Super Snowy Ski Resort" and hit multiple rocks and "F" there is a huge core shot in my skis. What a shitty run! All the other ones, are however, filled with pow and sunshine and glorious turns. Basically, at the end of the day I feel Super Snowy Ski Resort is awesome. That one bad run doesnt make me feel differently. Point being, it's overall impression. You don't just remember the bad, or the good. Don't try and use that argument.
It's true, there are dumb Canadians, dumb British, dumb Aussies, even dumb people from non-english speaking places, believe it or not. However, when taking into consideration the percentage of people that could possibly use a good slap to the face, America wins that hands down. Well, America wins everything else, they might as well win that too.
Besides, if you are that certain about how things are in your country, then why is it even a concern to you what we say?

1. You failed to present any statistics/data to prove that "more Americans deserves a slap than anyone else." You're just furthering the "anti-America" attitude. Cool.
2. If I pretend to not care about you say, you would come back with "See, Americans don't care about anyone other than themselves." Quite the lose/lose situation.

1. I'm not going to try to prove my intelligence to you. There's no point.
2. Yes, you have an overall impression, but try remembering every run 2 years later. Are you going to remember them? No. But you WILL remember that one bad run you had. That's the point I'm making.

The American Dream is the idea (often associated with the Protestant work ethic) held by many in the United States of America that through hard work, courage and determination one could achieve prosperity. These were values held by many early European settlers, and have been passed on to subsequent generations.

Lots of people work hard all their lives. Some of them get rich. Others don't. Why? Because some of them happen to be in the right place at the right time, buy the right stock, start at the right company, get the right account, never really knowing beforehand that it's going to pay off any better than the other alternatives. Just because work's involved doesn't mean luck isn't. That's the difference between the hard working guy who just gets by supporting his family and the hard working guy with the $100,000 Benz. We'll leave out for the moment the lucky idiots who manage to hit it big without putting in the hard work.
But come on, middle America isn't really about that anyway. It's about making things as easy as possible. How many commercials have you seen for diet pills lately, because the notion of eating a pill every day sells better than having to do actual exercise? Not that Canada's any different or anything, but let's not delude ourselves here, Horatio Alger was the irrational one, not me.
