50% of Americans think that Puerto Rico is a foreign country.

Not sure, but Donald J Trump was alleged to be one of them.

Puerto Rico is kind of like our sovereign Native American Nations, take credit for everything that is going right and blame them for everything going wrong even if the Federal Government is largely responsible.

True, although the goverment there has been wasting money for ages, counting on the Federal Goverment to always cover them regardless. Essentials have fallen into disrepair and now they're more broke than Detroit as well.

And I've been managing an army of alts during months of Hurricane Maria blackout from there?

Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the US. It was invaded and occupied by it in 1898. Check out the US Flag from then.

Sorry, no matter how any who's been here 1 -3 gens or so cuts it, Puerto Ricans are - against their will, no less - United Statians.

That's pretty interesting, in 1898 the US took the Philippines from the Spanish by treaty, if I remember right that was the year Guam became a US territory (funny term for a settled and civilized nation. I think the US also demanded and got independence for Cuba in the same treaty after the Spanish -American War. I really should up my caffeine before I write at this time of day. The Philippines were granted independence from the US on July 4, 1946. Made it easy so even I could remember.

Yeah, all as a consequence of Spain losing. Odd the US didn't keep Cuba, perhaps with revolutionary elements there it would have been a continuing hassle. Imagine history if it remained in US hands.

Most millennials self identify as socialists- in the real definition of socialism these are all socialist despots. Too many millennials are not informed on the failings of the ideology. Any failings of capitalism are overshadowed by the murder that full fledged socialism requires for implementation. Venezuela is our latest example.

I'm guessing more of the holocaust deniers and overall all of these people are more likely conservative (less educated).

Where do you come up with this bigoted idea that conservatives are less educated? How pompous and arrogant. Do you think we all stand around and pick our noses because we can't figure out a cell phone? Rational people of every political stripe know the Holocaust was too real.

Oh wow, People Press, they of course are objective, unbiased and honest-NOT. More women complete college than men, does that make them smarter than say Bill Gates or Steve Jobs who never completed college. Or the Wright Brothers who never completed High School, yet designed the airplane with what was 6th grade math at the time. I personally got my real education in the years after college (where I was taught how to think, not what to think). I worked with scores of highly educated people over the years, half of which were Republican, half of which were Democrat. I've worked with a number of educated millennials and they are woefully lacking- engineers who can't spell or write legibly, or can't do simple math in their heads or on paper. These are just some examples. Attendance or education? After working with a generation of truly educated people, I think much of what passes for education is really just measuring attendance. Our youth is being ripped off on the socialist belief in equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity- the so called dumbing down of our youth. Just look at how we stand among other nations in so called educated abilities.

dude, socialists also deny the holocaust, unless they blame capitalism, then its magically real again.

Are you serious? Who is it that's had to educate you about several historical matters?
2 ups, 5y
The American education system is truly rigged and needs to be fixed, but I doubt that it will be.
