Americans are NOT stupid!

Now, of course not all Americans are stupid, but there is no doubt that a lot of them are.

I'm pretty sure the internets has already debunked that as completely unreliable and very likely doctored, if not outright fabricated.

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.

You'd just need to ask enough people, and sooner or later you'll find people who are completely oblivious to the rest of the world. Then you just need to put all those persons in one video, and cut out all the people with correct answers. It's still scary that those few couldn't answer the "country that beings with an u" question.

I think stupid is the incorrect term. I would agree that the majority of Americans are ignorant and undereducated. The education system in this country has degenerated in the past forty years to the point, where a community college has to offer courses in counting, basic math, and even how to read.

I tire of this country's politics and materialistic nature. However, I am unable to leave, and if given a choice I do not know where I would relocate. Our philosophy has spread throughout the world like a virus, and so it would be a waste of resources to bother moving.

Also just because we are prosperous compared to other countries does not mean that we have to love it here. There are still many problems in this country that are difficult to stomach, problems the common people do not have a snowball's chance in hell solving. So I understand the frustration and even hatred that the citizenry of my country feel.

Making statements like "I hate America" and "Americans are stupid," are irrational and childish. Why bother arguing with cross statements made by a mind of a six year old?

I also like the "only the MAJORITY of American's are idiots" or "most people in the world are idiots!" Yeah, sure. And I guess none of you fall into the majority, huh? Wow, imagine that. 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.

Wow. For a second I thought you put yourself in the minority group. Imagine that. Wait, to say that people in this thread are stupid, you are implying that you are intelligent, right? So your in the minority, but everyone else is an idiot for suggesting it? I dont get it, but then again, I usually misunderstand what people mean on forums.

I'll get beaten to death for writing that, but I just had to ask.

Americans arent stupid? well thats the biggest lie anyone will tell. anyone who steals the English language and then doesnt even know how to pronounce the letter 'U' have to be stupid (al-oo-min-um :rolleyes2 its pronounced al-you-minium fools) oh, and anyone who votes Bush into power has to have some problems

Yeah funny thing, Americans speak a form of English closer to older forms such as Middle English than we English do. Their pronunciations, in fact, are one of the main areas this occurs in.

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.

I am still surprised that people are saying stupid is a bad thing!?
There are other areas to excel in society and global society than intelligence, we need more than just intelligence. Sadly, what I think people are implying is that the intelligence leader of the world is inhabited by morons... kinda makes me wonder how the rest of the world is fairing in the intelligence department.

And I do think that many of us here, are not stupid, as FoA indirectly turned the gun to us. I think everyone here, and everyone on this damned rock is ignorant on some level. And rationality is like a log jam. When one log goes, all you get is a gush of layered assumptions washed out by ignorance. So some elitists simply say they are the most inteligable and not ignorant at all, yet it is hard to say that with out being ignorant at the same time. So there you already have a collapsing system of stupidity that puts the neutral standing elitists that hypocritically point the finger at others to shame. Therefore, we are all ignorant stupid heads.

Bush isn't stupid, Bush is retarded it's different but he's cleaver... well... sometimes! I think the americans ARE stupid because they're the one that vote in Bush not Bush!

"I'm glad I'm not an American!"

Yeah I know I'm glad too
Seriosuly I think that after the war image Bush put America through, i think the world doesn't see american like they used to!

You should probably focus on what I say rather than make up some crap about how I feel. I don't care what you classify me as, and I'm not classifying myself as anything else. I'm just saying it's highly unlikely that if the majority of people are idiots, that it's possible that the minority all ends up being members of a FF forum.

Lieutenant anyone? Don't talk to me about pronouncing wrong.

Also, Americans didn't steal the English language. ENGLISH PEOPLE SETTLED HERE AND BROUGHT THE LANGUAGE WITH THEM. The language adapted.

I'm not even going to address the Bush thing.

So guys, why is England called the UK, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom as well?

Bit of a late reply but for refrence,
UK, united Kingdom is what it is, like republic, empire, duchy etc.
Great Britain is the countries name. (Queen Liz is the Queen of Britian, not England, the Last queen of england was Queen Anne) and England is one of the 4 countries that came together to merge into Great Britain along with Northern Island, Wales, and Scotland.

I dont classify anyone on this thread as anything much, seeing as how I hardly know any of you. :O well, I know you how certain members post, but I have no idea what your likely to be like in real life.
Which part did I make up? I actually want to know, because what I wrote is a reply to an impression your post made on me.

pulling a subjective inference from and subjectively objective reference! how dare you:P this kinda works into what I said in my previous post.

[prayzer]

I think everyone here, and everyone on this damned rock is ignorant on some level.

Agreed. My sig says a lot though. Thats why America has become everything it has become, the good and the bad. Its all part of the little thing called evolution. If you dont change, or at least make an attempt, you will perish.

Why does everyone gotta be so mean :rolleyes2
