I agree with you that the general state of public education in many parts (not all) of America is pretty awful today, at least at the secondary level of education. That is largely because it is one one of the few areas were (public sector) trade unions can still block genuine 'progress' and prevent serious 'standards'.  

But, your responding to a manifestly silly posting is "not particularly intelligent" either.  A specific response might be of some value if it were to allow for the development of a serious 'argument', but not if it is to repay mindless insults with mindless insults.

I realize that your statements are telling examples as to the state of American public education and that your discourse on American tourists in Europe is actually regurgitated anecdotes from the experiences of others not yourself, however, I would advise you to stop living vicariously and polish up on your writing skills before you try again to pass off raw sewage as a stream of consciousness.

Al Gore is one of the biggest jokes in American politics. If you Europeans really worship him maybe there is a bigger divide among us then I thought.

We'll let Belgium have Al, then, and he can stop annoying us (and taking cold weather everywhere he appears).

What I don't understand is - why is Gore so much heavier now? You would expect to put on weight to withstand "Global Cooling" but if you knew that everywhere you went it was going to be warmer, wouldn't you want to be thinner? I always lose weight in warmer climes like most people do - but Gore is never in warmer climes. Everytime he opens his mouth it is in January or February during the coldest day on record in Dubuque or snowing in Malibu. Grow a beard and he will look like Michael Moore in Prada.

Reading these comments are more interesting than the article! 

I had my share of chuckles for sure (THANKS!).  Not much more I (as a proud hated American) can say, except that Algore does a GREAT imitation of Forrest Gump!  He just doesn't know when to stop......acting.....scary to think of how many SHEEPLE voted for this....person.

Lava on the ocean floor heats the waters, stupid!

Stop going to the porn sites and search for yourself!

Ther second time I read this I too almost fell out of my chair, especially coming from the continent of all knowing, all compassionate, all green, and all stinky.........

You really are a sorry bunch- I understand now that Sweden is banning the urinal, I guess it is too masculine for the Eur-O-Pee-on culture. Now the Swedish men will have to squat like little girls. Ha Ha Ha

Hero???????????? Europe is evidently experiencing a hero drought. This man is a self serving hypocrite. Buying carbon offsets from Al Gore is just about as smart as splitting a bottle of scotch with your sixteen year old, then tossing him the keys to the car.

Fell out of my chair laughing at that one. If 'Miss Piggy' started a fake campaign such as has-been Al has done (all political), would the Belgians put her up on a pedestal also? Probably!!! Dumb, dumb, dumb.  

In "I, Claudius," the emperor, when told that he has been made a god in Colchester, mutters sadly, "A god in Colchester?" Should we now say, "A god in Brussels?"

PT Barnum Gore is the only person to save the planet!! Europe is really in a sorry state. And now they will be making Bill Clinton angry. Bill was supposed to be their guy. If those two are in the same room alone, one is not coming out. You need to be more careful Europe. Belgians need to remember he is the only contestant to run for American president and not win his own state.

i know more about global warming than that fake scientist, al gore. at least i have a masters degree in engineering, many courses and experience in heat transfer and thermodynamics. HE IS A SICK SISTER !!!!!!!

When the EU decides someday to go to battle, will each EU soldier be issued toothpaste, soap, deodorant. It is better to blend in and be covert, than to be smelled ahead of time. The enemy will smell you from at least 10 klicks away.

Will the EU squabble over what color berets the EU army will wear. I suggest Pink.......it is just as good as the blue helmeted UN, what a bunch of fools.....

Who will lead the armies, Hans Gruber from Die Hard fame, or Victor Maitland from Beverely Hills Cop fame?

You Eurabians have some real mental disorders. The barbarians are at the gates, and you squabble about a photo. Boy I hope that when the Islamofacists finally control Europe, you make an effort to ask your biggest enemy, the people and the country you hate the most, The United States to help you out. I just hope that when you Eurabians, cry for help, that the president whomever it may be, gives you what you deserve, the middle finger extended, with both hands. Also webmaster I love your 10 digit password with several capital letters and several small letters. What is this James Bond 007 with your special codes? Funny as hell. I wonder if you will still be able to buy a ham sandwich in Brussels? We Americnas really think your a joke, and keep messing with Israel. If BeBe gets in there, when the chips are down, he will strike you, and most americans would approve..........

From the article: "Al Gore is looked upon as a hero, a superman, the only man in the world who can save the planet".. Are you frickin' serious?? Save the planet?? This cannot be a legit news article. This MUST be a comedy piece. I cannot believe anyone in Europe is this stupid!!

Did anyone read the article about the ice caps melting on Mars because it's getting too warm? Hmmm, I'm sure you Europeans will find some way to blame THAT on Bush as well.

He is now firmly entrenched as the self-appointed spokesman of the new religion of Anthropogenic Global Warming (aka Anthropogenic Climate Change).

This man is a deceiver and a liar. His movie is full of propaganda, partial-truths, worst-case scenarios and blatant misuse of the little facts it actually contains. The computer models are based on a premise that they can predict weather many years from now but they can't use these same computers to tell us if it will rain a month from now so we can plan our barbecue! Did these same computers predict Hurricane Katrina or where it would land? HELLO! And he has it backwards: temperatures rise AND THEN CO2 rises!

The IPCC report that he likes to bring up was mostly staffed by non-scientists (ie. bureacrats from governments many of which are hostile to the U.S.) and it was sponsored by the U.S.-hating United Nations. 

What are his motives to bring the United States to a UN-subservient status? Why does he want to turn the United States into a 3rd-world country?

He is a disgrace and a traitor to the country that gave him his birth, wealth and status. He should be nicknamed the Joseph Goebbels of the New Millenium.

America is NOT the problem.

This European fascination with Al Gore and his alarmist view of climate change just confirms what I already sense about Europeans: they are obsessed with America, American culture, American power, and American politicians. They rant about the crap that Hollywood produces, yet they run to the theaters in droves to watch it. They villify the American military when it acts, but they expect the American military to come to their aid whenever it is needed. One American politician (Bush) is worse than Hitler, but another (Gore) is bigger than Elvis. What gives? The only Americans who obsess about Europe this much are nitwit intellectuals like the late Susan Sontag, who saw European authors as categorically better than American authors because -- they were from Europe! Will Europe ever become a legitimate entity on its own, with military and political power commenserate with its population and economic might, so that it can stop obsessing on America? There's no reason it can't other than laziness, or irresponsibility, or perhaps distrust by some European nations of another European nation (Germany, obviously). This situation grows more tiresome every year.

Big question is, will he run for the presidency in 2008? Now that he has rock-star status he would be a formidable candidate and impose CO2 laws/taxes globally, probably.
