Re: No monopoly on stupidity

There's a commonality in all of these things: they're all English-speaking countries.

It makes you wonder: are British people, and our colonial descendents, just exceptionally good at screwing things up in a world-class world-beating way (go us!!), or is it just that we don't hear so much about other nations' screw-ups because we generally never bothered to learn other languages and so don't pick up on similar media stories from other countries so much? Research needed!
