Question

Do people around the world know of our Founding Fathers, and regard them as geniuses?

Answer 1

Since our own school system is little more than politically correct baby sitting, I think many people know as much or more about the founders of our country. I would hope none of us think they were some kind of geniouses.

Answer 2

Yes they know more about us than we do them, and or that we know about ourselves, I just was in DC and Boston, what a great country this truly is.

Answer 3

our founding fathers were not geniuses, i am a genius they are not

creating a nation with a fixed constitution, and laws was ok for back then, but it will not survive in the long run

example

we are dieing since birth, if you eat healthy as possible and exercise at an early age and continue that, you will still die at the end

so creating a government 300 years ago fails to predict he future, so it will eventually die  

solution, create a government with strong morals at its core, and liquid laws that revolve around those morals

kinda like the earths core with magma revolving around it

Answer 4

i highly doubt the majority know of them, and i dont believe they really care to know either

Answer 5

Well, i know that in Japan, they have to study them. For world history or something like that. So if you ask them about George Washington, they'll tell you the whole story about the cherry tree and everything. (if they paid attention in school)

Answer 6

NO, MOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD COULD'NT CARE LESS OR KNOW ABOUT THE FOUNDING FATHERS.

Answer 7

Two weeks ago I met a turist from Germany and he could quote Ben Franklin (etc...) very cool!

and even knows that

"Governments govern by the consent of those governed"

At least some foreign nationals are VERY hip to AMERICA and our constitution (etc..)

however maybe that doesn't apply to ALL.

oh well.... how many AMERICANS can quote Ben Franklin?
