Although I don't agree with the author's tactics (he cites no documentation), the subject he is discussing is so wide-spread that few examples are even needed.

As you are fully not aware someone named David Beckham has been making headlines around the world the past couple of days for being one of the fastest and most prolific text messengers of modern times.

What I mean thats total bollocks for starters or am I stll to sleepy to get the point? David Beckham = Englands Football Captain and Real Madrid/Manchester United Star. Clear this up and tell me the meaning I am comfuzzled!

Think its saying USA likes to keep to its own, but yea, Beckham is a pro footballer not pro texter

You guys need to not take things literally. The "text messenger" part was obviously one of these things. He is more than a football player.

In any case, as I said, the contents of the article are a little vague, its the point he was making that I agree with.

"Americans can continue to sleep peacefully at night without the fear of ever having to know the name of the Prime Minister of Canada, the difference between Budapest and Bucharest or the meaning of an LBW. "

If you had read the article... its about Americans being ignorant of other countries.

the article... its about Americans being ignorant of other countries.

but according to the article its not americans fault its the news shield!

I didn't say it was the fault of Americans - merely that I agreed with the statement. I also fully agree that it is the fault of the American government, not the American people.
