    - Are you truly comparing the level of education of a First world country with Latin America? - Marlowe Jul 31, 06:58 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Maybe, as those are more likely than not in great part US-educated anyway.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 31, 07:33
      - [deleted]
- I presumed it was well know until I saw Vulture's article 'A Clueless American’s Guide to the Battle of Dunkirk' - LMS Jul 31, 06:43 11
  - I think I know about it from watching old war-era movies, particularly British ones. -- nm - mara Jul 31, 08:02
  - In school we mostly learn about how the war started/ended and our involvement. There is a lot left out and unless you read about it - Krusty Jul 31, 06:59 9
    - Yup. And in college if you're going to study that, you're pretty much specializing in world history. D-Day, however, is American history. -- nm - con_carne Jul 31, 07:56
    - I think you'll find plenty of Brits who don't know the details (I was never taught it) but some generations the 'Dunkirk spirit' is in our DNA -- nm - LMS Jul 31, 07:04 7

        I don't know Krusty, you seem hopelessly obsessed with that guy - con_carne Jul 31, 08:07
        
        I'm looking forward to seeing Dunkirk this week. -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 07:13

        I dunno, feels like you guys might want to trade back right now. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 08:02 1

I like that they're calling it an "excessive heat advisory" like if there's too much heat, maybe we can give some back. -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 23:05 2

  - Then they would have to digitally add it to the previous footage! -- nm - Spawndroid Jul 30, 22:42 3
    - but that would only take 25 minutes, and it would vastly improve Man of Steel -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 22:53 2
      - Or they could just say he was judging and sentencing himself to The Phantom Moustache, a rare Kryptonian punishment for petty crime. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 22:54 1
        
        "I'm going through a thing. It's how Kryptonians grieve." "But you don't know any other Kr..." "IT'S HOW WE GRIEVE!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 07:04
