    Stupid people can win sometimes.

    American's aren't all stupid, but that's not the point I was trying to make.

    It's been proven scientifically that Canadians are dumb.

    As someone stated before (I think it was bipper but I give him the satisfaction of being quoted), intelligence isnt everything. You could be the smartest guy in the world but completely unable to do anything with it cause you also happen to be the biggest coward ever.

    If I remember rightly, America ranks around #33 in the world for education.

    But, not ALL Americans are stupid, thankfully, however they are the vast majority.

    The majority of people (globally) are stupid. The average IQ is 95! However, while other skilfully hide this fact, Americans tend to display it in its fullest glory.

    There are bright Americans. Finding them tends to be a lot harder than finding bright Dutch though. I wonder why.

    I think we need proof of that.
    But anyway, nearly all european languages come from latin, we're all taking the language from someone and changing it over centuries.
    English is a Germanic language, though there are many other European languages that are stemmed from Latin. Then again they are all part of a the Indo-European family, thus why there is some similairties between English and Sanskrit.

    Pretty much everyone's conquered England at some point, so trying to figure out where our language originated from is pointless.

    Though I really could've worded that better.

    What does that prove? There's a Canadian television program that takes hours upon hours of footage to produce a seven to ten minute comedy spot based on two or three interviews with random people off the street? Cool. You win!

    Americans love America and hate Americans. Specifically, (Many) Americans love America and (some) Americans hate other Americans mostly for a similar reason of why they hate other people from different countries; they’re arrogant and think their country is better, than every other country.

    The way I see it, all the americans we see on tv or tourists or whatever are stupid, but all those who use the internet aren't and we don't see those people.

Here at EoFF we just so happened to attract a huge chunk of an teeny, tiny minority who practically doesn't exist amongst the waves of stupidity in the world. You know what? I don't buy that at all. We're just as "stupid" as everyone else. I don't think the minority elite of the world is in their teen years and is linked solely by their interest in Final Fantasy.
    I fall into the category of people that know the majority of people are idiots, but I don't fall into the category of majority. I'm far away from being average. Although I agree with you that most people who say the majority of people are idiots are usually idiots themselves, there are exceptions. If you don't take into account those exceptions, then you're being as assumptious as they are.
    Anaisa: The lower classes were screwed over mainly because illogical and iimmoral subsidies and wealth redistribution previously aimed towards them and industries they were traditionally very strongly involved in were reduced or removed. It sucks that it affects them negatively, but that's just too bad, because the free market = good.
    That's not the only problem she caused. One of the major problems that has had a long lasting effect is the sale of council houses. Which is the reason why today people who could have had a home if it wasn't for that, are now living on the streets. An then there is the unfortunate children that were born purely to provide their mother with housing. Somehow, I don't think if you were homeless due to Margaret Thatcher, you'd think she was awesome, or if you were unemployed an constantly struggling for money at the time she was in government, you'd have thought: "Never mind me, free market =good."

    I hate Bush he's such a idiot. He's probably one reason why people hate America. Hey I don't blame them the only reason why I hate Texas and America is because 1. George Bush was born in Texas and 2. He is the president of the U.S. Other then that people should think about not hating on America.

    Thanks Polaris for the Awesome Avy and Sig!
