    Calling americans stupid is abit harsh. Not <u><b>ALL</b> </u>americans are complete dumbasses. You do occasionally get the smart ones. Take edison for example.

    But, then again, you do get the god-damned completely off-their-rocker stupidly stupid red-necked hillbillys. Like George Bush. I do feel sorry for all you guys over the pond.

    Although, I do know a few groups of people who would like nothing more to destroy america :S *Non Terrorism Just Hate and Boredom*

    Bah, whats worse though is I think Bush has infected/mind controlled Tony Blair... so I'm screwed too.

    wow just who the hell did they survey, the idiot end of the intelligence bell curve?

    b/c none of my friends are that stupid.


    As for me, go go dual citizenship! even though the US doesnt officialy recognize it.

    meh actualy ill probably have to denounce one of them b/c if I ever go visit I might get drafted due their compulsory military service laws. bleh.

    And this has happend on many occassions to vacationers who lived and grew up in the US all their lives and then get slapped with that when they go back to visit. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I really don't know why you have to argue about americans beeing dumb. Every frickin country has 95% dumbasses in it. Maybe the european countrys has only 93% and japan 91%... but who really gives a damn. The only thing that matters is that they should all be shot.

    The greatest idiot I've ever seen was on the TV show "Freitag Nacht News" which in fact is a ironic comedy show. They've interviewed him with questions like:

    "What is George Bush's first name?"

    Hope you can imagine what happened.....

    And how do you suggest we decide who doesn't get shot. Because if its by IQ tests, job status, reading level, vocabulary, and geography knowledge I doubt you'd be in the top 10%. So if you beleive in it so strongly why don't you start the weeding early.

    The amusing part about this whole arguement is that when people poke fun at Americans they are pretty much poking fun at every race/creed/color.

    Or did I miss when we created the American race___

    Well Wizard there's no arguing that there is a large redneck population in the US, unfortunatly a lot of them vote so there's not much to be done about it.


    I just think calling anyone stupid takes a lot of nerve. What gives a kid from a gaming forum the right to call anyone stupid let alone a whole Nation of people. If Steven Hawking called me stupid I'd be ok with it, but if some snot nosed CSer called me stupid I'd have to second guess them.

    You mean imperialism.

    *sigh*

    It's sad. Especially considering i'm one of the nerd minorities that is totally embarased to be called an American when statisics like these come out.

    I learned and still remember all of the nations of the world. Give me a blank world map with the national boundaries drawn and I'll prove it. Every state & capital in the US as well as the names of every major airport. I can also sketch the biomes of the world. I can name every element on the periodic table with approx. atomic weights and properties and compounds made by each and their orbital notation and crystal shapes and their plasma color and... And all of this since gradeschool.

    And yet the US has some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet and for as much as we ****&moan about it, is a great palce to live.

    PS: I take such negative statistics with a grain of salt. Cite your sources of the research and <span style='color:yellow'>remember that the few <span style='color:red'>can not</span> represent the majority.</span>

Nuclear weaponry aren't funny, and there is no worse crime than using one on humanity. Millions of lives, accomplishments, memories, dreams, and loves, lost, because some kid, or president, is too stupid to look past a stereotype. They, are human.

    America isn't really its own people, its a mixture of almost everything in the world into one.

    Guess what, we have created so many important inventions with our government of today and the past 300 years that its utterly amazing, part of that reason is that we let everyone in and have a greater chance then the other nations.

    For no real reason people presume that America is full of CS players and flame it.

    Go on B.Net sometime on WC3 and go on the Europe waygate, and you'll find out they're as ill mattered as the U.S B.Netters.

    But then again, you can mock the U.S even as we hold our position as a Super Power, probbing at it senselessly does nothing but cause a minor irritation to the big blob of mass that is the U.S.

    That was COLD. Downright cold.

    Wait, were you serious? If so, I can assure you, being an American citizen, that the average American is not "well-informed" when it comes to American history. They know enough to get by, I suppose.

    As for "have a greater chance then the other nations.", what is that supposed to mean? Do the British cut off the legs of immigrants? Do the French gouge out the eyes of immigrants? America offers no "better chance" than other nations, it's just perpetuated as a"golden land".

    And on that note, this thread is getting locked. Its intentions might have been good enough, but it's clearly gone downhill. If a mod with more patience (or me, later) feels like going through and weeding out the useless posts, it may get re-opened. But for now, lockage time.

    Oh, and Pot Blot, hope you enjoy your one-way ticket to Bansville, population: you. 5 posts and all of them are either nonsensical, potentially very offensive, or a mix of both.
