All I have to say is this.
if it is true, that America is the dumbest country in the world, well don’t take it too badly.
Someone has to be the dumbest and someone has to be the smartest. Its always going to be that way.
A loser and a winner.
be a good sport and take it on the chin.
well, its the THE dumbest. that’s ridiculous, considering how many countries are in poverty right now.
Yeah, but look at your population and countries area. Sure there may poverty stricken countries, some of which yield greater population or over population but they are demographically smaller than America. You might have more stupid people, but you have more people in general.
well, yes, but i kinda assumed this kinda thing was measured in averages. if not, then that is just further proof of my quote from my first post in here. “there are three types of lies - lies, damn lies, and statistics.“
Indeed. Nothing is more maluble and open for interpretation and alteration than statistics.
Its very much a case of 1 set of information and infinite ways of publishing it to suit your view.
heh, yeah. and, people tend to trust statistics, cuz, after all, they are a type of fact. its just so easy to manipulate if no one looks closely at it. hmm...for some reason this reminds me of how much i hate politicians...

Its the education system that americans have set up.. its more about protecting the teachers then teaching the students.. plus having school zones dont help much. Because each school only gets so many stupidents no matter what.. thus the school doesnt have to compete against other schools for kids thus they pretty much dont even try to teach the kids.. Then we have this no child left behind act.. so teachers actually put the test levels down so that students will pass.. students know this and pretty much just give up. They need someone from europe or another 1st world country to come in and fix the mess they made, because they clearly cant seem to fix it themselfs.

i actually agree with you on this. i mean, i see the pro’s to all these, but they are not big enough to outweigh the obvious cons mentioned. the one thing is the no child left behind thing. i mean, as much as i HATE that, its the only way to keep liberals from bitching about people 'not having a chance'.

Watch the video. I’m serious. for those of you supporting the Americans, please stop your petty argument, for I may laugh to death. Watch the video first. Then you can make an opinion about the United States.
Though I am American, I do think that Americans are not too bright compared to other countries. But when it comes to a report like that, they just use the funniest answers. I knew every answer. (It could also be camera fright making them not think as well)
Hmm, yeah, maybe they just wanted to be funny, or they deliberatley made themselves look stupid on camera.
No, what I mean is that when you are in front of a camera, and the whole world will see you, it will make you pretty nervous I am sure. And when you are nervous, you cannot think as well. It is called stage fright.
Don’t patronise me.
k, how am I trying to patronise you?
*gets angry* well, you’re, you’re, um... er.... um.... *waits* shaddup.

America is not the dumbest country!
What both of you do not know is that the same bankers that back America...have backed Russia & Germany during WW2. They control America & thats the reason we go around invading counties like crazy. The Federal Reserve bank is private & owned by Intl bankers. They print money outta thin air!
Google Money Masters & America Freedom to Fascism.
UNITE & FIGHT THE FASCIST BANKERS!

People are dumb. It is simply in our nature to be arrogant and then screw up.

One time I heard something dumb a few Americans were saying (majority or minority I don’t know) on the TV that I didn’t laugh. It was seriously that bad it was sad.
After that recent school shooting at Virginia Tech or whatever (you’ve had a shitload of them in the past decade), I heard pro-gun groups were asking for the right for every in the school to carry guns to defend themselves in a school shooting... it’s just terrible. You guys really need to work on your gun laws to begin with. Fuck your second amendment, you shouldn’t care, you really need it. Look at your crime rate, it’s horrible. Even worse than Australia, and we were founded by criminals.
I see people like Penn Jillete on TV saying shit like “if you stop civillians from having guns criminals or the government will have too much power and take over the place."
It’s bullshit, Western European countries are proof of that. I don’t understand how some of you are so prudish, but so lax when it comes to gun control. People are fucking dying!

i don’t believe americans are stupid. there will always be a fair share of stupid people in any country. only problem is the tendency for the US media to sensationalize anything that might increase their popularity
(eg. “killer bees [really, if you think they’re that dangerous you should check up wiki. wiki generally can be trusted if there is a superscript with a number in the [] as it shows where are the references], sharks[same as the top, more people die to humans per year than all animal deaths add together], a couple of uneducated americans on the street[not knowledgeable not equal to stupid], terrorists so far being muslims [i assure you, christians have their fair share of violence, for one try to differentiate “crusade” from “jihad” and you find they aren’t that different], strict countries such as mine [singapore and truly i’m proud of it ^^ for being one of the safest countries in the world], and.. yea you get my point..

What you say is true except for out educational system. We have one of the worst right now.
P.S. I love that weasel picture. lol
I know i would be calling high schooler and people in my school hypocrites.Then they would ask me what does it mean.
