Vote for whoever you want, its just interesting to me that he got more votes when he asked why he was losing.
The reason I say that Indians are a more educated people isn't really based on the education system. And let me be a little stereotypical here, I said India, and my "research" has been regarding india, but I really meant everyone from that region as well. A large majority of the Pakistanis I met are better educated.
Heres where I think we come to two roads diverged in a yellow wood. While education systems, that is to say government sponsored institutions of education may be in fact piss poor in these countries, the populace has a more insatiable appetite to be educated. So while they don't have the standards that other countries might, they learn more on their own.
I was reading an article about the practices of editorship in the feild of journalism and it said of the Inidan presses something tot he effect of "how shameless of the papers there to place unwarrented Algebra problems in the paper as its own section."
This was obviously humerous, they didn't think this was bad business, sneaky marketing or underhanded at all but more to show the educational and informational wants of the diffrent populacies. The Indian population wants alegebra problems in their daily newspapers because they hunger for more knowledge. In my highschool you couldn'y force 5% of the Alebra class not to skip out. This is the basis for my reasoning. I apologize if it was somehow half fleshed out previously, as I think I statred before, I was busy...
