America: The Grim Truth

[Minor Axis]

I respect your opinions but I will just continue to be myself.

Continue to expect to be treated with suspicion of motives when you push a river of bullshit.

You just sometimes have terrible English for a country whose first language is English if I'm remembering correctly.

To make you understand a little more abt singapore while most of us speak and write good english we also have our local version of english called singlish.

 

[kelvin070]

Singapore Vernacular English, commonly known as Singlish is an English dialect used in Singapore. It should not be confused with Standard Singapore English. According to the 2000 census, which does not distinguish between Singlish and Standard Singapore English, 71% of Singaporeans are literate in the English language.[2] Generally speaking, well-educated Singaporeans are able to code-switch between Singlish and Standard Singapore English. Many Singaporeans also do not speak Singlish

We use british english and american english sentences can be gramatically wrong.

 

[kelvin070]

For example 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. Thats gramatically wrong

 

[anathelia]

For example 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'. Thats gramatically wrong

it's terribly grammatically wrong. Even by American standards.

So you basically choose to speak in what amounts to be the singapore version of ebonics; making yourself sound wholly illiterate and unintelligent.

You can say what you like but that did not stop the tens of thousands of us graduating from the Ivy League schools and Westpoint.

1) West Point

it isn't all one word

Q: What are the admission requirements?

You must meet certain requirements specified by public law in order to be considered for admission to West Point. You will be evaluated in three areas: academic performance, demonstrated leadership potential, and physical aptitude. You must also meet strict medical qualification requirements. First of all, you must be a United States citizen, at least 17 and not yet 23 years of age on July 1 of your year of admission. You must not be married, pregnant, or have a legal obligation to support a child or children. If you are a naturalized citizen, you must provide documentation.

Dual-citizenship is prohibited by the government of your country, and you must be a United States citizen to attend West Point. So something tells me there aren't really any people from Singapore that have graduated from West Point.

Additionally, if America is so horrible, why are you touting the fact that so many of your countrymen have elected to be educated by our schools. Does that say a lot about the level of post-secondary education in our horrible country? Or does it say a lot about your own post-secondary education?

Sheepskin? Mine is local and the school is ranked 30th in the world.

US is not horrible in every aspect. We have world class universities here. As for as West Point is concerned I think there is some govt to govt special arrangements.

You need to update yourself abt your own country.
