You guys are kicking our ass in education and technology, why would you allow our fundies to drag you down to their comic book level?Actually, Finland is kicking ass in education and the West is kicking ass in intellectual property and innovation. All the thin-film solar panel research comes from the US, for example.
Mind you, the Finnish school system is totally different from the South Koreans.

That happens everywhere.
