The Competition Is Fierce!

With a sudden streak of chauvinism,⁽¹⁾ Indonesia reclaims the lead! First, donna reminded us about The Geeky vs Cool issue. Which means, Indonesia scores one for "More Advanced Bill of Rights." In particular the 11th Amendment: Freedom to be Geeky. (Update: Try the Geeky Test to find out what America thinks are Sure Geeky Points. Warning: Exhaustively long list of items involved).

And Indonesia's on a roll, by scoring another vital point! Because, like enda said, we have a "Higher Time Frame Tolerance."

Case #1: Higher Education

A: Shouldn't you, like, graduate, by now?
B: Relax, they won't kick me out of college for another three years.
A: Good. More time to study, then.
B: (chuckle) Hey, if I only wanted to study I would've graduated in the first place.

Case #2: Work Punctuality

C: Holy crapola! The Bigwigs meeting's started ten minutes ago!
D: Aw, God! We're half an hour from the office! We're ruined!
E: No--wait! Didn't you set your clock faster? Everybody does. You must too!
C: You're RIGHT! I did set it fifteen minutes faster!
D: We're saved!
E: Let's celebrate!
All: YEAH!
(All stops at the nearest cafe' for drinks)

This left the current standing 2-1 for Indonesia! Hooray! However, The Cool War is just starting. There are plenty of possibilities of America returning to the throne. Especially since, like umar eloquently explained in his post: They're crazy.
