    Not only that, but chauvinists too - the female literacy rate 97.2% :) Ryan

    Spanish men also don't know how to please a woman. The average woman in the US has 2.09 children and in Spain they only have 1.28. Perhaps that chauvinism is masking something deeper.

      America's* Literacy rate (link[^]): 99% Spain's literacy rate (link[^]): 97.9% so Spain is about twice as illiterate as the United States. Not only that, but they elected communists in order to appease Al Qaeda. What a bunch of wussies. *Note that this figure has been adjusted to only include the United States. Venezuela was not counted. -- modified at 9:10 Thursday 22nd June, 2006

      And our's would probably be even higher if we didn't have so many minorities trapped in inner city schools being kept purposefully uneducated so that they can be more easily controlled to serve as political chattel for their Marxist masters. "You get that which you tolerate"

                                But Spain is in Europe, so if more Spaniards could actually read, it would increase Europe's literacy rate.

                                      Had you really wanted to convey something positive about the US, you would've said that the US is twice as literate as Spain, and you wouldn't have called them commies and wussies. What made you jump on Spain like that? Did you get turned down by a hot spanish girl? Did she call you fat, ugly, bald american bastard?

                                        But by illustrating the commie and wussy nature of Spain, I am only intending to positively illustrate the brave and democratic nature of the US through contrast.

                                        I honestly think that it may have been my "red-necked pig-ignorance" shining through.
