I don't know where the conversation is now, and it'd take too much time
to find it. But in relation to the discussion about textbook issues in
the US, you asserted a generalisation that "all people in the US are
stupid" (or something to that effect).

What's your interpretation of the intelligence of people in the UK based
on this? ;-)

I don’t know if I believe the script but anyone who says that *all*
Americans/Welsh/Jocks/… are stupid is talking about himself.

Pfaaahahahaha!
Yes, there are unfortunately a number of people in this country who
would, in fact, do something that dumb. (I don't know if this is true of
other countries, but it is true of the UK.)

Well, yeah, I don't know that I believe the script either, but then
again, we have all kinds (in both countries <g>).

Well, yes, but my point is that one (or even "a number") does not equate
in any way to "all". IOW, my point was about making generalisations with
such a broad brush as to exclude the fact that for a given population,
there are going to be some not-so-smart people and some incredibly smart
people, and that some people who are not so smart will get into positions
where their lack of intelligence will be made really apparent.
That doesn't mean everyone in that country is dumb, which was the
generalisation you were making. ;-)

Getting better but "some" would be even better.

You won't get an argument from me on that.
Unless you really want one. :-P
