@DiversePersona I'm Australian but I have to admit they did invent the iPhone iPod iPod nano iPod shuffle iMac MacBook pro and the iPad and if your wondering what I'm typing on right know its the iPad 2
Stupid Brits. I have always hated them, all of the,, maybe except Robert Pattinson though. British people are those type of people that look down their noses at other people. You know what? Shut the fuck up. All you people do is eat scones and drink tea
Find me on the streets of America and I'll tell you! Besides, everyone in Las Vegas is blown out of there mind. People go there to party, and don't give 2 fucks about some old chode asking them about Europe.
Most people walking down the Vegas strip are either really drunk or high on some form of illegal substance. Then again, looking at them they probably wouldn't have got the question right if they were sober. I wouldn't expect a person from Ireland to know what states are next to Idaho though either.
For the love of... Your in VEGAS. You aren't going to find ANYTHING their. Most of those people are tourists that are probably drunk off their asses. They aren't their to answer random questions asked by strangers, they are going to respond with something simple like, 'I don't know', which we pass as an excuse for a dumb question. That or sarcasm. The people in Vegas that are on the streets are there because they can't earn a living any other way but gambling. So they don't know anything worth
Not fair, this is in Vegas. Nobody in Vegas is sober, from the time the plane lands to the time it leaves. Also, if I'm asked anything in Vegas I say I don't know anything because I don't want a to view a time share presentation and that seems to be the only time anybody asks you any questions there.
America is basically a country of people with no intelligence whatsoever that stole other intellects that derived from Europe. And White guys are the worst type living in America.
@DiversePersona wow how fuckin stereotypical. not all americans are dumb shits dont look at Bush as an example and dont look at these drunk people. If you didnt know Las Vegas is a tourist city which people go to to get drunk and gamble once they turn of age or graduate college or something. Its like saying all Brits drink tea and have bad teeth its not true seeing as how they have free dental/healthcare there. Not all Americans are stupid
@DiversePersona okay im sorry who made this all possible? oh ya electricity. where do u suppose that came from? oohhhh riiiiiggghhhttt it was harnessed by Benjamin Franklin. lets not forget thomas edison who created the phonograph, motion picture camera and THE LIGHT BULB. who made commercial cars available for the middle class person? Henry Ford. Must I go on?
@DiversePersona ya know that computer ur on right now? ya it was invented in the city I live in. Using an Iphone? invented 20 minutes away from my house. silicon valley google it. On google? oh that was made at stanford that which is 30 minutes away from my house. Europe has alot of inventions too but America invents it and we send it to Japan and China to make it.
@jsmith198108080081 sorry i didnt mean computer I meant hard drive for computer. created in San Jose, California where I was born and raised. I pass the historic building every time I go to where I play hockey.
eh i've never met anybody this stupid. Lots of Americans (ESPECIALLY BLACKS) think its cute, funny, or "cool" to act stupid for the cameras. Remember, America is a country that thinks freedom and gun ownership is a conservative idea. It's also a country that thinks Islam is a liberal movement. Go figure.
Lol, I live in Vegas. I know Americans don't know a lot about England, bu I have met quite a lot of British people online and they know as much about America as we knows about England. Even though Americans are portrayed as retarded, racist, rednecks, both countries are pretty much the same.
@InukedCanada No way,i found the British to be realy smart and well educated. You know they took questions aimed at 10yr old European kids over to the US for grown American adults to answer,the majority got the answers wrong. lol
America is placed way way down in 34th place on the world average IQ list,with the average IQ of the US being just 98. lol
@LacrosseAlex They also go to other countries and do the exact same thing. They went to Shanghai and asked the public questions and the people were super intelligent,not only answering the question correctly but giving more information than was asked/needed.
@BoyMunkey08 Great...? You know i have a life, and i don't wanna spend it replying to your comments. kay? So just stop replying. If you keep randomly replying to my comment from 200098765678 days ago, then this is going to go on forever. Give it a rest. If you really hate Americans that much, then stop replying to their comments! If we are wrong, that's not our problem. It's also not your job to correct us. So... please stop talking to me. This is like the 100th time you replied.
New york, manchuetts , ohio ,neveda ,calafornia ,new mexico,north -south caralina,arizona,texas,tennesene,kentucky,alabama,oklahoma,florida,washington,north-south dakota,hawii,alaska,new england,cansis? Ok point taken btw im 13
I agree that perhaps us Americans should learn a bit more Geography...however, I wonder if this high and mighty Brit could name half the States in the USA... just my .02.
@g0ddessw Alright, but let's be fair here. He went on the street in Las Vegas and asked random people things that Americans haven't been taught since third grade in grammar school. These people aren't car "designers", they are normal people on vacation. Just because Jeremy Clarkson is a knowledgeable person doesn't mean he would know how to rebuild a 350 Chevrolet motor or install a Viper remote start system. It was hardly a fair comparison. There are PLENTY of intelligent people in the US
People from other countries making fun of us, we are extremely proud to be stupid. So I have one thing to say to you.............Go fall in a hole you stupid british or whatever you are IDIOT!
Stupid! I know so much about geography dumb what?!?!!? They didn't even know the capital of France -,- oh hell Austria is not even by scotland are you kidding me
Pfft. That's just Vegas. People go there specifically to lose brain cells, so it isn't surprising that they couldn't answer trivia questions. Try Boston or Cambridge. Somewhere knowledge is considered important.
You know, everyone hates on America, but I dont hate other countries (some I do), I guess Im gonna have to start hating every country, see how you like it. Geez.
Holly shit, what the hell are theses classes?? i've been there! u guys doesnt know and doesnt care about where is GERMANY! a country tht everybody should know, its a important country too....did u see justin bieber? ok hes not american, hes canadian but it happens there too! and he makes tours in the world, thts terrible! (sorry my bad english) i really admire you guys, but i wont change my opinion, because its what i see and hear about you guys
okay well 1rst of all most people randomly on the street don't design cars, 2nd your in las vegas.. the smart people are winning money in the casinos or doing something productive... those people you see are tourists who came to see las vegas, and 3rd nobody gives a crap about europe, and you europeans are so arrogant you get offended when we don't know all about your country.. why you bothered to learn about us well damned if i knew.. oh wait we saved your asses from yourselves in WW1 and WW2
@MrButtloaf Shut the fuck up. Don't speak for my country if you're going to sound like an idiot. Just shut the fuck up man. You say that they are arrogant when you talk about how we saved their asses in the world wars? I really hope it only looks like you are saying Europe is a country, and it wasn't meant to come off that way. I'm offended that you don't know about Europe, you give our country a bad name. Saying "our" makes me sick. Go to school.
Also I don't know a single European that knows where where the state of Michigan is located or Maine or even what thier shapes are and they say we're stupid.
Random facts asked to random people doesn't convey a damn thing, other then you manipulating the data to show what you want it to show.
With that said... Americans are on average a lot less 'intelligent' then the rest of the world, partly in due to an appalling education system that doesn't teach critical thinking and religion making science basically taboo.
Has anyone noticed that whenever a video about making fun of American's stupidity comes up, they always go to California or Las Vegas, and then they call them the "average American." That is just ridiculous. The U.S.A is one of the biggest countries in the world. We have so many different cultures spread out across this country that you can't keep going to the drugged up Cali or the gambling drunken Vegas.
P.S. America is far away from Europe. Can any of you answer questions about us?
@superkalle3333 Yeah, those two are easy questions, as are some of the others, but again, as ive said... its vegas... going to vegas and asking questions, taking the stupidest answers and making a video out of it does not represent a country's intelligence.
@TBird4490 Ok Ok you guys have so much importance to the world, and we know tht! but the problem is culture, u guys just know about yourselves, just care about yourselves, you just learn about ur country at school, and we all need to learn about the others, even its a little bit...well im from brazil, and i know what u guys are feeling, i dont agree with the word DUMB but i agree with CULTURELESS im sorry for being sincere.
@abramovitz18 Not true at all. The thing is, you haven't interviewed MILLIONS of Americans, therefore you cannot make an accurate assessment. That would be like me having a negative opinion of the British, solely based on conversations I've had with them on Xbox live.
We do not just "learn about our country at school". I know this because I am an American, and we take global studies classes here.
@TBird4490 exactly, but this kind of generalization is the same that the stupid ones use to identify the behaviour of a person from a diferent country/religion, but if, base on this, i say that yankees are stupid, i would be doing just the same.the question here is: is the average american more stupid than the average of other country?stupid people are all over the globe, but where does the stereotipes come from?, and can we trust them? maybe for the average guy we can, but i really dont know
@cosifo These stereotypes originate from people who have had some experiences. What people need to realize is that you can't draw a conclusion about an entire country of 300 million people based on experiences you may have had with 5 or 10 people. To reinforce an opinion of a country based solely on an experience with such a small percentage is rather ignorant and actually makes the person issuing these claims of arrogance and ignorance appear as the arrogant and ignorant individual.
@TBird4490 of course, you cant judge a person for his nationality. but you can profile the average. that profiling is done in a lot of areas,like publicing, polls...they dont interview all the people in one place, just a number to define an average. so, according to a lot of people from around the world, the average american is stupid.but there are more stupid people from ohter countries that take this generalization and think that all americans are stupid, when you arent.
@cosifo And then they have to take into account the large population of 300 million +. And I would bet there are more intelligent people in America, than there are an entire population of some countries. The same can be said about a lack of intelligence.
@TBird4490 i already said that is impossible to put all americans in one bag, but the profiling of the average is possible. either way, i dont think that the average is stupid, statistically you arent, because the economy you have, allow most people to develope inteligence. but ive never seen people so stupid they dont know how many sides a triangle has, or if star wars is based on a true story,etc. i would say the average american is not stupid, is very ignorant
Some of your list is erroneous. Besides, I think the point is that the masses are particularly ignorant, uninformed, indoctrinated and docile. For example, 20% of Americans think the sun orbits the earth...
Fiberoptics=D Colladon & J Babinet; computer=C Babbage; Internet (packet switching) D Davies; stealth=Petr Ufimtsev; electricity=W Gilbert; DNA=Crick, Franklin & Watson; computing=A Turing; Quantum cascade laser=many; contacts lenses=Leonardo Da Vinci; Hubble= NASA & ESA; Supersonic Aircraft=Bell XI (using ripped off British knowhow); Vid game console=RH Baer
Besides, many "inventions" are merely improvements carried out in time from earlier discoveries.
@nigee1970 Tell me which ones specifically you claim to be erroneous? Once again, you cannot state the "masses are particularly ignorant, uninformed, indoctrinated and docile". Have you interviewed each American?
You gave one example, but I could just as easily go to any country and ask them what the nearest Galaxy was called, and not receive a correct answer, and everybody should know that. The point I am trying to make, is that not everybody knows the insanely obvious things.
I've already referenced what I believe to be your erroneous American "inventions" (dislike that term, as I've already explained, many are merely improvements from work gone before) that you previously listed. Besides, we're not discussing the few bright stars but rather the populace as an average.
Of course I haven't interviewed the entire population, not only is that an impossibility, it'd be unnecessary. It's why various polls are conducted to determine a mean "score."
Same goes for that poll re 20% of Americans believing the sun orbits the Earth. It goes without saying it's a poll. What's disturbing is that ANYONE can believe such. It goes further, Creationists believe the Earth was constructed by an omnipotent Deity only a few thousand years ago, that man and dinosaur roamed the Earth simultaneously; 37% (polled, obviously) cannot even locate the US on a map etc etc.
Forget the minority brilliant minds, worry for the ignorance of the masses.
@nigee1970 Umm..... Yeah. The two polls and the percentages you just gave are actually the minority ignorant minds.. Because there's a smaller percentage, hence the minority.
@nigee1970 Nope you didn't. I didn't see them anywhere. Please list these erroneous inventions again. Which ones are falsely labeled American inventions? Which ones are improvements?
The ONLY one I can think of that you can say was an improvement, was the Space Shuttle, as it was designed around German rocket technology. So specifically, which ones would you say?
Fiberoptics=D Colladon & J Babinet; computer=C Babbage; Internet (packet switching) D Davies; stealth=Petr Ufimtsev; electricity=W Gilbert; DNA=Crick, Franklin & Watson; computing=A Turing; Quantum cascade laser=many; contacts lenses=Leonardo Da Vinci; Hubble= NASA & ESA; Supersonic Aircraft=Bell XI (using ripped off British knowhow); Vid game console=RH Baer
Besides, many "inventions" are merely improvements carried out in time from earlier discoveries.
Have you any idea as to the sheer volume of Brit/Euro inventions, ideas & genius? If I were to attempt to list them, I'd die of old age before even finishing the "A" list. Moreover, much ingenuity from the US was not always carried out by "Americans" per se. Immigrants & naturalised folk e.g. Tesla were responsible for a great deal of creativity. Anyway, I don't wish to get into a "who invented what" as some kind of self aggrandisement campaign. It leads nowhere & is a waste of time.
@nigee1970 And btw, the poll is not entirely accurate. "20% of Americans think the sun orbits the earth". I researched the poll you referred to and it found that: Of the people interviewed (100, that 1/5 of them were not aware.
It's not 20% of Americans.. It is 20% of Americans that were INTERVIEWED. There is a colossal difference.
Robert Boyle, Christopher Wren, Robert Hooke, Sir Issac Newton, Joseph Priestley, James Watt, Joseph Banks, John Hunter, Michael Faraday, Lord Kelvin, Darwin, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Alan Turing, Sir Frank Whittle, Robert Watson-Watt, Alexander Fleming, Rosalind Franklin, Watson and Crick, Fred Hoyle and Stephen Hawkins..
@MrMiseeire did you know england has the same type of show? its called are you smarter than a 10 year old, i have watched it multiple times, and its exactly the same. Same stupid people, same stupid answers. theyre everywhere... if youre going to judge a population of a country on 1. a game show made to humiliate the dumbest people alive and 2. how many people are rich enough for traveling, then youre the stupid one my friend. And howd you know? Our textbooks are people magazines, you caught us!
@ImbaTequila unfortunately, there clearly are lots of stupid people. not only in America, but everywhere.Like i said, i lived in england, and i saw no difference in intelligence. in fact, i feel my school in the US was better, but it was mostly the fact that i lived in a worse neighborhood in england.This guy also went to LAS VEGAS aka the city where everyone is on some sort of drug and strippers roam free... Obviously he knew he would get dumb answers to the easiest questions if he went there.
@ImbaTequila and we learn about Europe too, we're required to take WORLD history, which has almost no focus on the USA since we didnt even exist until recently. All i am saying is that it is ridiculous to ask americans things like capitals. ask them about the black death and theyll be able to tell you about it. plus, I have been to school in England. One of my sisters teachers taught them that arkanas (and he pronounced it ar- kan- sas) was a city in kansas. its Ar-kan-saw. its a state.
France, Germany, Italy, China, and Japan are all pretty up there. Just because the European countries know more about europe and little about the USA (as clearly shown by your lack of knowledge of the wealth of american people) doesnt make them smarter. There are uneducated people everywhere, and there are also unfair questions that are able to be asked, based on educational systems in countries. Unfair questions to Europeans are easy for Americans and vice versa. Think before you speak.
@spatt234 Thats not true, in our school we learn lots of the USA, we have dozens of history lessons about the USA history, about the presidents and the states, about your civils wars and the black slave history, about the native american history and even the immigration history. Our elementary school and college teach us alot of these things.
@ImbaTequila Unfortunately that's the issue, America is too patriotic. Patriotism is a good thing, it's good to be proud of where you're from and the history of that nation. However, it starts to become an issue when a country favors educating children about every detail of US history, whilst teaching them almost nothing about the issues of the global community.
Learning every previous US president may be patriotic, but it reinforces the stereotype that America is an ignorant nation of idiots
@spatt234 Are smarter than a 5th grader, seen it today, a man who supported the celts was there , supported by cheer leaders. these cheer leaders were UC grads or still studying. None of them knew any thing about world geography. Not surprising, since only 27% of Americans have a passport. It is easier to indoctrinate people when you controll the media and the education system. America education is from FOX, CNN and Hollywood.
Unfair questions?What is the capital of UK is extremely easy and one person thinks that Australia is a country in Europe that shows nothing but uneducation and the level of the American education system.
@menzerna1234 cool, but the facts are that a majority of americans are not the rich, stuck up, people flying all over the globe like they are portrayed on tv. to assume that all americans should know things about other countries because "theyre rich and travel a lot" is BS. tons of people, and i mean TONS of people in the US have never been out of the country. its expensive, not everyone has that money... as to the USA acting like theyre the head honcho, face facts bro...USA, Britain(continued)
I love New Zealand...especially your Cloudy Bay Sauv Blancs!
It is NOT a smart-ass country, it minds its own business, it doesn't invade other countries, has a slow relaxed pace of life, beautiful scenery etc, and I luv Akaroa !
Hv you noticed that Asians are very smart in choosing their target country to migrate to?
NZ is a popular choice...peaceful, beautiful, refined people, no street Niggers, and you don't see jobless imbeciles owning guns. LOL!
There is nothing wrong being ignorant and stupid, because many people were born poor and had little education, and simply have no money to travel the world. This is very common.
BUT.....what I'm AGAINST is.....when ignorant, stupid, deprived and poorly-travelled Americans make smart-ass remarks about countries that they've never lived in.
hell.....they don't even have a passport in the first place!!!!!!!!!
When my American colleagues arrive Singapore for the 1st time to join us there in corporate work.....I always indirectly tell them to KEEP QUIET first, and LISTEN....and LEARN.
When a frog gets out from under the flowerpot for the 1st time, and acts as though it knows everything about that huge garden, it just makes a FOOL out of itself.
BUT....when your country portrays itself as THE dominant Global Superpower, packed with MILLIONS of Americans who clamour "America Kicks Ass!!!!'.......then you had better ENSURE every American sets a good example to every other nationality in the world.
Its not easy for any country to be a global smart-ass.
Of course Americans are stupid. I am a college educated Liberal American and it amazes me how many Republicans are floating around here. When I ask them why they support that party, the stupidity comes pouring out. It is not even directly because they are Republican, but they may choose to be Republican off of how naive they are about what the true issues are and what that particular party stands for. I had a friend who was pro-choice, anti-death penalty, pro-gay marriage, who claimed to be Rep.
When everything in your world revolves purely around "Rep vs Democrats"..........that's when you look at things as strictly black OR white......and nothing in between.
It's like cats fighting with dogs.......and nothing else matters.
lol Americans defending their smarts im from new zealand name the country closest to us and i shall answer any question about the usa without using google!!!
The Internet is great.......but too bad, it's used as a form of 'cyber-travelling" by MOST Americans who form stereotypes about any country based purely on what they read on the Net and other forms of American media.
@TheCurvaSporting yes, im aware alaska isnt a country. but the united states is so big that each state definitely compares in size to the average european country. People in europe probably learn the countries of europe's capitcals in school whereas americans learn the state capitals.&when did i claim to know those capitals? I said that americans shouldnt be expected to know things like that, just like i wouldnt call a british person stupid for not knowing stuff about the usa/mexico/canada.chill
If you lead a high std of living, have ample money, a great job with a great pay, and a great life..............it doesn't matter how BIG your country is. You will be flying and travelling to every part of your OWN country....and also to many other countries.
America knows as much about Europe as they do about us(america). Fuck all who think we are all retarded and be nice to those who know we aren't. And old people are just stupid because they never got good education when they were in school so as you say 'Suck some cock' and go away stereotypes.
@hatandclawsx500 Some Europeans are dumb I'm sure, but worse than Americans, I think not. America ranks pretty much dead last in education in all the free world, even worse than some third world countries fyi. I live in the midwest btw. Do you not understand that Vegas is a tourist city, 3/4 of it's population at any given time, are tourists from everywhere in America.
@hatandclawsx500 That is actually a good place to find average Americans from all over the U.S. And you really have no room to talk, judging from the wording of your comment.
As an American, let me first apologize for the most heinous of crimes committed by my country. namely, exporting Hip Hop and Madonna. Also, I love Australia and Canada. I mean, second to the US, I hold those two countries in the highest regard. I'd literally give my life to defend them. Anyways, yes, we look horrible. But once you look away from the circus that is the US and take a gander at the middle east, or India, or Mexico, or Venezuela ...or China..etc. The US, CA, AU have a lot in common
why is it bad that americans know so little about europe? can the europeans name the capital of Alaska? no, but anyone past the third grade in America can tell you it is Juno. and btw @bleakrool , i believe the word you were looking for is THEY'RE, not their. and you call us stupid
Oh wow you're going to California to find stupid americans, my friend you've struck a jackpot! Try going around and actually search for REAL average americans who actaully went to school and know something! FYI not all americans are stupid...
Being a Brit, I'm sure Americans won't hv anything great to say about him.
BUT...he has been to so many countries and have SEEN and experienced the local lifestyle and culture there.
Based SOLELY on that kind of exposure (which eludes the majority of Americans).........he has the RIGHT and ABILITY to express what he thinks of Americans - DUMB.
But of course, no jobless Nigger roaming the streets will ever admit he's useless.
But it always revolves around the same few things.
Americans, your Internet didn't tell you that MILLIONS of businessmen over there consume 6-7bottle of ultra-expensive 89 Lafite in a single nite, and they gulp it down "on the rocks" LOL!!!
It also doesn't tell you that the Chinese have and/or are acquiring major shareholdings in the top French wine producing companies.
You won't see this UNTIL you hv the money to fly there.
hahahaaa......10,000 empty houses in that Nigger-infested garbage dump called Detroit.
If you experience the above "phenomena" in ANY country.......that country is instantly a fucked-up country that's in deep shit.
When you hv too many NIGGERS in any country, it's a default confirmation that country is in DEEEPPP SHITTT. Look at your good friend the UK. Lots of Niggers + lots of social problems.
Look at Singapore. No Niggers roaming the streets. Lowest crime rate in Asia.
If America has LOTS of opportunities, you won't be having 37% of Americans classified as living in poverty.
You won't have MILLIONS who're jobless for years.
If you are highly educated , skillful and experienced in certain industries.....OPPORTUNITIES exist in any country....not only in America.
With 41 MILLIONS Americans depending on foodstamps...........America is just a nice-looking garbage dump. Looks nice on the outside.............rotten in the inside.
Huh???Don't have one??? That's what I mean by Americans who're TRAPPED within the US.
hey, you're a developed super power!!!!!
Every single American shd hv passports???
What??, 70% of you American motherfuckers haven't even flown further than Canada and Mexico??? hahahaha...........that's why your "world" is soooo small.
Ahhh...now I know why you numbnuts are so IGNORANT.
@menzerna1234 Quit your nonsense. You brandish terrible ignorance as well. Even your statistics make you seem like a barbarian when mixed with insolent words. Don't ruin whatever's left of your dignity. Also, travel has got nothing to do with knowledge or wisdom. You seem like an intelligent person, so i can't grasp how you can say something so blatanly ignorant.
@menzerna1234 You sound like you travel a lot, but it doesn't look like its done anything for you, other then making you into a vainful nobody. What irony. Even if you're in your 50's you'll remain a child. I urge you to find yourself and mature.
I don't exactly travel a lot. Not for fun anyway. I don't hv the time, cos I've got work to do.
But I've been posted as an American expatriate to many European, Asian and Latin American countries for the past 10years.
Come to Singapore, and I'll show you around. My in-laws from St Louis were SHOCKED when they came to Singapore for the 1st time. Their 1st remark to me...
Who is MORE knowledgeable about what's really happening in Finland....?
An American who has the money to buy properties there and live there frequently.................or a loudmouthed American WITHOUT A PASSPORT who has never set foot on Finland.
Be careful when you answer, or you'll make yourself look like a silly poorly travelled American without a passport.
@menzerna1234 Properties in Finland, traveling frequently, no passport.... I should be careful not to look like a silly poorly travelled American without a passport.... My friend... it doesn't matter where you are. If you're a natural biased idiot, you'll remain an idiot. If you're a Titan amongst men, you'll remain a Titan amongst men. I won't argue about trivial things. Miniscule things don't interest me. I can only advice you to not become one of those older people who remain children.
@menzerna1234 indeed. I mean.. México is their immediate neighbor and they even know if there are cities in there. Once, I asked a lady whom I arrived at US: Do u really thought we were gonna arrive with braids or big sombreros making tortillas?.. laughing she had to admit that she did. She even asked me if we had microwaves!... How is this possible?(for the sake of you other readers from other countries and your respectability, I hope you don't think of Mexico or of any other country as such)
Only 30% of Americans possess passports!!!!, and even the authorities lamented that this is very low for a "developed nation".
Poorly travelled Americans are the problem. They are IGNORANT, and that's why they make such silly comments.
No money to travel to other regions to live and work.
With 41 million dependent on food stamps, and 37% languishing in poverty, and thousands who hv to move into camper vans after losing their homes...HAHAHA!
I have a few questions for you Europeans who are soooooo much smarter than us dumb Americans. And let's hypothetically say that you were appoached on the street and asked these questions. What's the Capital of South Dakota? Who was the 39th US President? When did Maine cede from Massachusetts and become a separate State? Who was the President of the short lived Confederate States of America? What? You don't know???? How odd!
@menzerna1234 hahahahahahaha you think South Dakota is a crime infested shit hole hahaha... wow... go to las Vegas, new york, Portland, Oregon. holy shit you're funny!! lol hahahaha
On the whole, the majority of America is filled with low-class, low quality places like that.
Being a "super power" and touted as the No1 in the world, I strictly expected to learn lots of things from Americans whom I fully expected to be highly educated, highly intellectual, and came from high-quality families and upbringing. Hey, Americans claim to "kick ass" in everything.
Instead, I saw a HUGE beautifully-painted garbage dump.
@Turdbuckethat Ask Americans those questions and you will be guaranteed 99% wont have a clue. Bit of a difference not knowing the simplest facts about the some of the most influential countries in the world and who was the president of the CSA.

Most people walking down the Vegas strip are either really drunk or high on some form of illegal substance. Then again, looking at them they probably wouldn't have got the question right if they were sober. I wouldn't expect a person from Ireland to know what states are next to Idaho though either.

For the love of... Your in VEGAS. You aren't going to find ANYTHING their. Most of those people are tourists that are probably drunk off their asses. They aren't their to answer random questions asked by strangers, they are going to respond with something simple like, 'I don't know', which we pass as an excuse for a dumb question. That or sarcasm. The people in Vegas that are on the streets are there because they can't earn a living any other way but gambling. So they don't know anything worth

@cosifo These stereotypes originate from people who have had some experiences. What people need to realize is that you can't draw a conclusion about an entire country of 300 million people based on experiences you may have had with 5 or 10 people. To reinforce an opinion of a country based solely on an experience with such a small percentage is rather ignorant and actually makes the person issuing these claims of arrogance and ignorance appear as the arrogant and ignorant individual.

@TBird4490 of course, you cant judge a person for his nationality. but you can profile the average. that profiling is done in a lot of areas,like publicing, polls...they dont interview all the people in one place, just a number to define an average. so, according to a lot of people from around the world, the average american is stupid.but there are more stupid people from ohter countries that take this generalization and think that all americans are stupid, when you arent.

Of course I haven't interviewed the entire population, not only is that an impossibility, it'd be unnecessary. It's why various polls are conducted to determine a mean "score."

Same goes for that poll re 20% of Americans believing the sun orbits the Earth. It goes without saying it's a poll. What's disturbing is that ANYONE can believe such. It goes further, Creationists believe the Earth was constructed by an omnipotent Deity only a few thousand years ago, that man and dinosaur roamed the Earth simultaneously; 37% (polled, obviously) cannot even locate the US on a map etc etc.

Moreover, much ingenuity from the US was not always carried out by "Americans" per se. Immigrants & naturalised folk e.g. Tesla were responsible for a great deal of creativity.

When everything in your world revolves purely around "Rep vs Democrats"..........that's when you look at things as strictly black OR white......and nothing in between.
It's like cats fighting with dogs.......and nothing else matters.

@TheCurvaSporting yes, im aware alaska isnt a country. but the united states is so big that each state definitely compares in size to the average european country. People in europe probably learn the countries of europe's capitcals in school whereas americans learn the state capitals.&when did i claim to know those capitals? I said that americans shouldnt be expected to know things like that, just like i wouldnt call a british person stupid for not knowing stuff about the usa/mexico/canada.chill

America knows as much about Europe as they do about us(america). Fuck all who think we are all retarded and be nice to those who know we aren't. And old people are just stupid because they never got good education when they were in school so as you say 'Suck some cock' and go away stereotypes.

As an American, let me first apologize for the most heinous of crimes committed by my country. namely, exporting Hip Hop and Madonna. Also, I love Australia and Canada. I mean, second to the US, I hold those two countries in the highest regard. I'd literally give my life to defend them. Anyways, yes, we look horrible. But once you look away from the circus that is the US and take a gander at the middle east, or India, or Mexico, or Venezuela ...or China..etc. The US, CA, AU have a lot in common

Americans shd admire and learn from J.Clarkson.
Being a Brit, I'm sure Americans won't hv anything great to say about him.
BUT...he has been to so many countries and have SEEN and experienced the local lifestyle and culture there.
Based SOLELY on that kind of exposure (which eludes the majority of Americans).........he has the RIGHT and ABILITY to express what he thinks of Americans - DUMB.
But of course, no jobless Nigger roaming the streets will ever admit he's useless.

But it always revolves around the same few things.
Americans, your Internet didn't tell you that MILLIONS of businessmen over there consume 6-7bottle of ultra-expensive 89 Lafite in a single nite, and they gulp it down "on the rocks" LOL!!!
It also doesn't tell you that the Chinese have and/or are acquiring major shareholdings in the top French wine producing companies.

If America has LOTS of opportunities, you won't be having 37% of Americans classified as living in poverty.
You won't have MILLIONS who're jobless for years.
If you are highly educated , skillful and experienced in certain industries.....OPPORTUNITIES exist in any country....not only in America.
With 41 MILLIONS Americans depending on foodstamps...........America is just a nice-looking garbage dump. Looks nice on the outside.............rotten in the inside.

Based on CNN's 2011's stats:
Only 30% of Americans possess passports!!!!, and even the authorities lamented that this is very low for a "developed nation".
Poorly travelled Americans are the problem. They are IGNORANT, and that's why they make such silly comments.
No money to travel to other regions to live and work.
With 41 million dependent on food stamps, and 37% languishing in poverty, and thousands who hv to move into camper vans after losing their homes...HAHAHA!

Being a "super power" and touted as the No1 in the world, I strictly expected to learn lots of things from Americans whom I fully expected to be highly educated, highly intellectual, and came from high-quality families and upbringing. Hey, Americans claim to "kick ass" in everything.
