War on Terror Stupidity

I think iam of average intelligence, but this video makes me feel like a genius . I feel just a little bad for thinking that . I try not to get enjoyment on others expense usually . Oh man, how can you not laugh so hard thats your stomach hurts like mine right now .

[sushimoustache]

For your next film, you'd do well to address the unfair comments made about your countries' people by the Germans and the Dutch.

[protossenslaver]

@USStateSponTerrorism

George Bush was elected by the electoral college, not the American people. We actually voted primarily for Gore. Am I contesting that the average American is stupid? Absolutely not. My country is overrun with them, in fact. But don't assume we're any different from anyone else. We are still 18th in education among industrialized nations, which means we are a lot better than a ton of other countries (probably yours included), and we are doing so with a pop. of 400 million.

[USStateSponTerrorism]

@protossenslaver By the way, I am not from another country. I am a native born AMERICAN but that doesn't mean that I have to always support my country whether it is right or wrong. We may be better than some but that is no excuse. I have lived n 9 countries n taught college in 2, my college students in the US, not all but MOST of them, were reading at the 5th grade level. My students in Central America who had only studied English for 6 months, could read as well as 70% of my college students.

[protossenslaver]

@USStateSponTerrorism

Nor should you, I'm not advocating blind patriotism either sir. I'm simply saying that new shows enjoy picking out the insipid and vapid among our population and illustrating for the rest of us how sad the state of affairs really is. I agree with you, I think that the average American college student's reading ability is a joke, truly. I don't belong to that group though, and making blanket statements like the one above does nothing to promote "our" cause.

[USStateSponTerrorism]

@protossenslaver Your channel says you're 22 - I don't believe it, :)

[protossenslaver]

@USStateSponTerrorism

Yeah, well. Your profile says that you're ninety-seven; shall we just call it even then? :P

[USStateSponTerrorism]

@protossenslaver aHAAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAH Good One!

[smilemd2002]

all fu,kn idiots

[TheMercilessEye]

An excellent video, which points up the fact that NO ONE should be allowed to vote unless they are properly educated and informed on what is truly happening in their country, and in the world.

There are times when I almost despair over my fellow countrymen (and women).

The price of statehood, it seems, is complacency, stupidity and sheepdom. (Sigh)...I'd almost believe the Libertarians are right, were it not for what I know about the truth of human nature.

[upsilon054]

You know, maybe instead of the war on terror, the war on terror, ad nauseum, we need a war on stupidity.

I'm not holding my breath. ☺

[saypk]

"Iran..i think there's a revolution going on pretty soon" wow how did she know?

[takethat2thebank]

repulsive

[Theinvisiblegopher]

This is why I hate my fellow man

[LordPanties]

Ahh, the miracles of misanthropy!

[KrasnayaArmada]

oh god so much win

[Lazzzyeye]

This is actually an Australian comedy group called "The Chaser"

They pulled the infamous stunt at the APEC meeting getting past security dressed as Osama Bin Ladin, actually making it to the building were Bush was staying before giving themselves up.

This show was called CNNNN, and their stunts and interviews were often set ups. Notice Australia was labeled as what ever country they were thinking about attacking. No chance these people were not in on the joke (well, maybe a couple weren't)

[fingtyin]

I would say... THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...

[youvexme]

there are stupid people who can't read a map all over the world.

[mecher3k]

Theses Americans make want to kill them.

Sigh, my country, the country that it's greatness I now only read about in history books.

[jerichocross321]

the video actually is pretty humorous but in a sad way...i noticed from the video that the were only asking people who seemed to have very little education at all(not including the homeless feller) if you're going to stereotype an ENTIRE COUNTRY don't use just 15 people to do it

[jerichocross321]

it's funny how all you people care about the mistakes America has made but not one person ever realizes the ATROCITIES that the people we are fighting against have done...probably because you're blinded by your own arrogance and ignorance...no one has ever won a war that everyone was against...most of any of the wars that were won for any reason were won because they had the support of the majority of the people

[PhedroPhedroca]

Hilarius!

[Shaggy6386]

Wow, day after day, I'm more embarrassed to be american.

[TheTruthSoldier]

What is wrong with these people. They don't know where they are or what's going on. No wonder the elite have such an easy time manipulating the sheeple!

[SayNoToIslamofascism]

No all Americans are like that. Some of us can point to every country in the world in the correct location. But lol, imbecils.

[syrus638]

this is not a war on terror. this is a war of terror.

[shredorgotobed]

You are an idoit, don't ever post again

[HEYBUDD]

The CIA is the largest terrorist org. in the world...but stupid americans like shredorgotobed are too dumb to realize. Pitifull....thats how we are loosing our freedoms. Ignorance.

[semperfisemperceler]

@HEYBUDD Americans arent stupid, we just dont care

[HEYBUDD]

@semperfisemperceler

Sorry that I have to restate this so that you can understand it.......Only stupid Americans don't care.

Enjoy your bliss.

[semperfisemperceler]

@HEYBUDD hey americans are really nice people why you gotta express all this hate?

[rba718]

See, I'm not surprised about why the whole world hates us Americans. Look at how we talk and act about the rest of the world.

I'd be pist at America too if their own citizens were playing Monopoly with which country they're thinking of invading next.

[trevdes11788]

lol these people are idiots.

dont stereotype against americans please. although america may produce some of the stupidest people in this world,it has produced the most intelligent as well. british people can be anti american if they so choose, the US was not the one that needed another country to win 2 world wars. stick that in your pipe in smoke it.

[joeyjoblueyes]

this is bullshit and disrespectful as hell.pick people who dont care and make them answer a question thet dont know about.fucking assholess trying to make america look bad shame on who made this.and hope the hate will stop and be replace with love.

[kthxbaizor]

They are actually trying to point out that a large number of Americans have strong feelings about an important issue that they know little about. Those people are ubiquitous all over the world, but not quite as much on the Western hemisphere as the US.

[RichardFogarty86]

They seem to be picking countries in the world to attack as if they were choosing a new set of curtains.

[melapersinas]

Dumb fucks, we need to start seeing each other as brothers and I can assure you it'll be harder to wage war on people if you see they are much like us

[Bosco239]

Austraila is in for some bombing.

[FaceYourDeath]

americans and their pet dogs attacked muslim nations and the way they executed their president saddam hussein, muslim world will never foregt that and will make your lives miserable anywhere and everywhere.

[ZanderJSketch]

I was shocked that no one tried to point out that the actual country people kept labeling as "the next biggest threat" was actually one of our greatest allies, Australia.

[Mistic283]

Thats just like left wing crap. Ask a stupid question and only show the answers you want people to see. Most videos seems to try to show how nice and just other places and people are & then twist it so we only see the small percent of idiots we have in the USA. We are not the only place with retards like this! Maybe we should strap bombs on them and use them as "freedom fighters". That way videos like this would stop.

[silycaon]

right wing people tend to care about only themselves their family and friends, left wing people care about everyone

[Mistic283]

I disagree.

[elm37]

The war on terror is real. America will pulverize your country for harboring terrorists. We will start from A-Z, all of you sissy countries and your peoples. We will destroy you all, the world will be populated by nothing but us great Americans!! President Bush will lead us to victory!!!

[rover98]

its tue hey zorro3ply i agree with you i have proof for that many americans people uneduceted ppl prticulary about gegraphy and history and boilogy ecte...even european all they know is shugging and booze thats well know

[1427vista]

Im american an im not dumb, but ill say this though majority of americans are very cocky and brainwashed into thinking their better than everyone. Yes iraq's did have a better education than america until our nazi brainwashed troops destroyed it.The american history taught over here is a complete lie, and thats where the brainwashing begins.

[enigmas00]

please dont generalize so harshly, there is a percentage of Americans (most of them I'm afraid) who are ignorant and brainwashed. but to say "americans are dumb" in such blunt terms shows only that you are; like the people in this video, unable to look beyond one source of data and view issues from various angles. you limit yourself by making such a blanket statement.

[k9unit1]

HAHAHAHAHA who is ganna listen to these pigs, n by the way it war on OIL, NOT war on terror. idots. n wuts this that homeless fart head wanna invade canada, fuck him, the u.s is not worth canadas SHIT

[ahmadjs01]

your daily typical ignorant Americans...He thought Australia is Iran.

[layall]

"one of these unfortunates experiencing america's rotten education"! I am lebanese and lived all my life in Lebanon. "american schools are so desperate they drug their schoolchildren" Congrats, this is the most absurd and stupid thing I have ever read on youtube. Do your research Zorro3ply, "most modern technologies" did originate in the usa. So why don't you turn off your PC and stop using all these inventions that are making Bill Gates even richer.

[layall]

But hey, you are much smarter, americans are dump and I hate them all. who needs computers and wireless internet, MRI machines and other fondamental medical equipments, Harvard and other prestigious universities that attract some of your contrymen I am sure, space shuttles and space technology, all the creation and invention of dump people.

[layall]

typing error: countrymen*

Anyhow, it's totally cool. you can always film the 1 % of illeterate and uneducated of any civilized society and make a documentary out of it. And you can also generalize and criticize the whole population; but do the world a favor and do it with your own technology: shut down your computers and go off the internet. I don't know, write letters or something praising this video, and calling me brainwashed dump american. Have fun doing so...

Peace :)

[layall]

I am as much american as you are. I was never born in this country and neither any of my relatives but I know that if I am typing this message now and if you will be reading it on your computer, it is only thanks to the technology that this country offered. The world would be way behind in sciences, health research, technology, education, EVERYTHING if many americans weren't actually some of the smartest most interested people in the world.

[YumeNoEien]

It really doesn't matter which country fucks up. Its the poor Australians thats gonna pay for it hahaha

[thecrazedmd]

It is so bad when a small percentage gets interviewed to make millions of people look bad... or one president elected to make millions of people look frickin retarded

[dawnrun911]

Stupid fucking Americans

[briziland07]

man, they are so stupid. go take geography class.

[ElCiervoVulnerado]

Ok, I'd be upset too if i was an American, but you have to admit that a lot of you think this way. I'm not saying you're idiots, like the video implies, but everyone has some flaws and you just have to accept them, just like i have come to live with the fact that Mexican woman grow mustache :)

[layall]

hahaha!

[torresmatt]

Uhh....this video looks like it was made in LA or something. I could probably grab a camera, head out there and find enough instances of just about anything I wanted to to film. This guy found what 6-10 people who are total morons in a country of 290 million. Now, I'm not about to say we're all geniuses, but come on, this doesn't really prove much.

[tht40188]

Also, if you're setting out to prove how idiotic the American people are, then you're going to be able to prove it. Do you truly think that this video has no bias? What about the accent on that reporter? My point here is that if you begin a study and you have a desired end, then the entire study is corrupted and bias.

[tht40188]

I like how you are using this video to stereotype all Americans and to claim how stupid we are. Yet, by stereotyping us, you have just labeled yourself as ignorant.

[Svetozar65]

I wear Nike, but they were made in Indonesia and people there got one dollar for theyrs work wile your Nike sell them for 200

[Albydamd]

yeah things are tough in Indonesia, kinda like how things are in Serbia-Montenegro right? Countries that are predominantly Muslim have tough times. Regardless if we bomb them or not.

[kaipatikivalley]

are you racist stupid ignorant or what?

[Albydamd]

My comments were geared towards Svetozar65, he wears indonesian nikes, and is from what used to be Yugoslavia. Both countries are mostly muslim, and are having hard times. Isn't NZ mostly Christian/Protestant? Is NZ better off than either of those 2 countries? That'd be a yes I think.

[layall]

well um I would hate to admit it, and you would probably deny it also, but the christian/protestant countries played an indirect role in giving muslim countries and muslims a hard time, regardless of where they are. In any peace agreement where one side is muslim and the other is not, always the non muslims are privileged. But that of course doesn't mean that the governments of muslim countries are less responsible of their actions and inactions in their state.

[shreddog2049]

Thank you public education and Hollywood, for making America this way.

[Albydamd]

Amazing what an edited piece of film can do these days isn't it? Do you really think they'd put people in this clip if they answered correctly? Everybody laughs at America these days, but you still wear your Nikes, your Ralph Lauren/Polo, and drink Starbucks coffee.

[cami00rene]

I don't laugh at America, I wish I could but your nuclear weapons and your army wipes the smile off anyone. And no, I don't wear Nikes, or wear Ralph Lauren or drink Starbucks, though my contry does make it possible for you to do so.

[Albydamd]

So you don't wear Nikes, Polo or drink Starbucks. You're shoeless, naked and thirsty! LOL!

[karderr]

hey doesnt the US goverment build schools there ,,, just starbucks caffe's and nike factories? lol ... i think they are still in time to study smth ... beter late than never!!!lol

[karderr]

lol ... nice answer ... well americans are so bussy with the bullshit in tv's that we cant blame them for their stupidity!! lol

[kaipatikivalley]

here you go on about the evils of steriotypes but in the other post you say "Countries that are predominantly Muslim have tough times. Regardless if we bomb them or not."

dude your a hypocrit

[Albydamd]

stereotypes? i just meant that the people who answered correctly were likely edited out of the vid. And Nike, Polo and Starbucks are companies recognized worldwide.

[BMO1968]

Uneducated morons.

Fat ugly digusting.

Die crusadors.

[FireOFK]

my god they don't even know the map of the world they have no idea which country is where and they judge them like they know everything about them that is really sad hahahha

[MannyZtotheG]

That idiot placed a mark on Australia NOT Iran. Even though it was mislabeled...what a bunch of morons. This makes the rest of us Americans look really bad. There should be a war on Morons who don't know what their talking about. This is sad. And by the way. Bush didn't get my vote....so I have the right to complain. Screw these numbskulls in power. And screw these dumbass Americans who support them.

[cptpigskin]

This has pretty much confirmed of what i have thought of americans all along :)

[hardcore4d4]

this is what happens when you watch fox news,

you end up getting brainwashed and thinking like bill O'Reilly and that colmes c**t

[PiTaR1986]

LOL i get it now why americans voted Bush again hahaha. I think that blame lies on geography LMAO.

[joebonk]

youd be stupid too if you grew up in the anti-intellectual parkinglot that is the usa

[blabgoo]

It's clear the US has waged a war on stupidity as well. As history has shown, anything we wage a "war" on seems to flourish.

(war on crime, war on poverty, war on drugs) Duh.. why doesn't the "war on terror" include horror films?

[maliek777]

stupid americans

[ensrifraff]

In all fairness you asked the stupidest among us.

[bijelimelek]

Let me tell you guys something,American Polititions are greedy and ignorent suckers who look only for power. But the average american is more stupid and dumb, because they have the best education and the best technology and still cant differ continents and countrys like Afghanistan from Saudi Arabia and irak from iran, not ASKING THEM THE CAPITAL CITYS. American brains are made out of cow shit. The food they eat is made out of hibrid ingridients.

[dm6187]

For the most part what you said is true. I myself am an American, but I hate this fucking government we have, Bush has fucked up everything and the whole world hates us even more now. At times I wish I lived in Europe, or Asia, the people their are much more positive towards racial diversity, and the women are skinnier and in shape.

[bijelimelek]

Sorry if i offended you, but not all americans are the same. In my country a lot of polititians are corrupt , too. No can do to chAnge it. I think its just how people grow up, and most americans grew up wrong.

[dm6187]

to all the people who say it was "a dirty trick" to have Iran mislabeled intentionally, my point is it was done to show the general ignorance of many Americans, They want to go start wars all over the place and they don't even know where the fuck the country is! By the way I am an American for all of you who are going to say I'm a foreign asshole/douchebag...so much for Bush and his Dumbass policies, No Child Left Behind, Tax "Cuts", it's all Bullshit.

[cave82]

I blame TV.

[hollaifyahearme06]

ain't defending or taking sides but you get goofs in every community and these people happen to be them and they speak of which country would u like america to invade next?, like it's a game and ignoring innocent lives that will be ruined. BUT what they don't know is ISLAM is INVADING them through LOGIC AND PEACE and it all begins with the WEST!!

[hollaifyahearme06]

ain't defending or taking sides but you get goofs in every community and these people happen to be them and they speak of which country would u like america to invade next?, like it's a game and ignoring innocent lives that will be ruined.

[9inchnail]

sharonheater is right, it clearly says "Iran" on Australia. I mean, that IS a cheap trick.

Who would have thought, I'd be defending Americans one day...

[Seppl88]

The Americans are so stubit People (without the Politicans) haha

They think really the Terrorism is the reason for the war... the attacks at the Twin Towers is an idea from the USA yeah you can laugh you fucking naive American but thats the perfekt reason for a War (not like "we need cheap Oil")

Hitler begin the War because he had bigger Idea than only Money. He killed the rich mighty Jewishs to protect his REICH.

But you can see who make Wars! The Americans leadet by Jewhs and Israel!

[sharonheater]

At 51 sec. see "Iran" mislabled. What other little "tricks" did they use? Clever edit.

[maco444]

lol!

[KarenElliot23]

I think that I now understand why the U.S. got its arse so comprehensively kicked on 11/9. The F-16 pilots were scrambled, they just got lost..

[blowmoulder1]

Check out my new vid about the Islamic army and tell me what you think

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=tNHycpRuerg

[slickhan]

why should we feel sympathy for innocent amercians attacked when there all fucking big headed bastards

[125INF]

we might not be the smartest guys around but we will kick your asses

[d2sbydt2]

wow, i just realized how much i hate the supporters of "freedom and democracy".

[Grimm24]

Your a douchebag, go back to your stinking hole you asswipe

[125INF]

you all are so funny...they ask 5000 Americans where these countries are then use the 20 dumbest ones for there own propaganda!!!! we must not be to dumb, we found Afghanistan and Iraq just fine hahahahaha. did you look at half those guys they were either homeless or still lived with there parents hahahaha they say that we are good at propaganda these guys are pros!

[kaka122i]

I pity the Australians, and if one day, Bush mistaken you all for Iran/North Korea/ETC, you can always seek refuge in your friendly neighbouring countries like ours, Singapore. We promise we won't hang you.

[alkor33]

ahah oh dear...i'm from italy so please if wanna bomb my country be sure to hit berlusconi before me...i wanna die happy...you can find stupid people everywhere but,trust me americans are the #1 in this ranking

eat pizza forget bullezz

[metalhead616]

I think this "experiment" in the video would work anywhere in the world, be it the USA, UK, Germany, France or any other country. Because you can find stupid an dumb people everywhere, not only in the US.

But of course you cannot deny that the US american government has a questionable foreign policy...

[thestraightpath]

this video is proof that americans are stupid.

[efectx63]

Oh please we in america are not so self-rightgeous. However it is a nuisance when we hear other people who because of their jealousy/hatred, label us as "this or that". Think about it: a superpower is problably more dynamic in its interests than you would like to admit.

[longkalog71]

lol u could see that most americans have this messianic mentality that theyre saving the world when in fact theyre saving their corporations asses.if u dont know that, then you should really look what kind of education youre having back there.anyway, ignorance is bliss.it would have been really funny if someone in that video mentioned atlantis or bermuda triangle lol

[layall]

nope. i didn't say that the usa is saving the world, far from that. i just think that the usa is offering the world some scientific achievements, some technology and some knowledge because of the us education that ya all are criticizing. you won't be reading this comment, without the technology that this country offered. but like you said, "ignorance is bliss", so enjoy it.

[fancycanuck]

Layall: Slow down Dude, don't get so defensive. We know that some of you are quietly wonderful, docile, friendly, and geographically educated.Just please No invading Canada, ok, eh?

[layall]

defensive? i lived most of my life away from this country. the longest period i stayed in the usa was 6 months in a row. my education wasn't a "us education". nonetheless, i know that a great share of knowledge was offered to the world by the us universities and us education. i don't generalize now, like you all did, and assume that all canadians share your thoughts, since i met a number of them who came to study in the usa..

[layall]

you are totally right. you are smart and you totally believe this video: these retards are representative of the american people. i mean American are stupid, right? what did they offer to humanity so far? nothing! finding the cure to most of the world's diseases, saving your asses, offering the world its best archeologists, historians, scientists, physicists, chemists...This doesn't count.

[vrfunppl]

INDIA??? HAHAHAHAHA and why do they all Hate AUSTRALIA so much that they call it North korea , IRAN etc???? Whatever did the Aussies do to the americans???

[MuslimByChoice]

Ah americans ...

[enigmas00]

its labeled "Iraq" and "North Korea" in the video. i was wondering that too.

[efectx63]

ever hear of a couple places like: China, Nkorea, Middle East?? Any of these ring a bell there?? Maybe you should reconsider your context of "ignorance" in the shadow of how governments inform their public.

[lastklim]

The people there are immune to the propaganda already. Americans believe there is no propaganda, which is the illusion of after brainwash!

[efectx63]

I think this was filmed on Venice Beach, CA. If you have ever been there I think you can agree that there are some pretty weird people walking around. #2 is if you can look @ this at draw any kind of conclusion than you are problably the idiot for not taking into account all the people that did awnser correctly (on the geography part) and were problably edited out. My take is that the morons that were on this video were absolutely hillarious!!! Canada?!?!?!? Brazil?!?!?! LMFAO!! lol.

[layall]

true :)

[sven1986]

I'm not from the US but I've been living here in the US for over 20 years and to say that they are geographically and politically challenged would be an understatement.

Some Americans (but not all) hold strong hatred for France and Canada, go figure...

[fancycanuck]

The Americans are coming. The American are coming. We surrender, just don't make us go to your schools!

[layall]

you are totally right. you are smart and you totally believe this video: these retards are representative of the american people. i mean American are stupid, right? what did they offer to humanity so far? nothing! finding the cure to most of the world's diseases, saving your asses, offering the world its best archeologists, historians, scientists, physicists, chemists...This doesn't count.

[longkalog71]

lol!THe US should be the one banned from possessing nuclear weapons.too dangerous of a weapon in the hands of a generally ignorant country

[efectx63]

Yeah youre right!! It would have been much better if Von Braun, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Szilard, and the rest of the boys were working on the side of the Nazis and then today you would have been part of the "pure race". Right? Right?? What were we all thinking??!! Questioning your most profound elightened view of our social structure. I know!! Lets give all the nukes to Fundamental Islamists?! That would ensure global survival! Be sure to grace us with your comments next time. K pumkin?? Idiot.

[layall]

longkalog71, you are totally right. you are smart and you totally believe this video: these retards are representative of the american people. i mean American are stupid, right? what did they offer to humanity so far? nothing! finding the cure to most of the world's diseases, saving your asses, offering the world its best archeologists, historians, scientists, physicists, chemists...This doesn't count.

canada!, o no he didnt, y should they invade canada basterds

[albinvijay]

these people must be out of their minds. france? korea? did they really understand what the question was saying; " which country should be invaded next? "

[quasimodo82]

Haha that's funny. Education system is only about US or the state they live in. Who cares about the world they say.

[layall]

you are totally right. you are smart and you totally believe this video: these retards are representative of the american people. i mean American are stupid, right? what did they offer to humanity so far? nothing! finding the cure to most of the world's diseases, saving your asses, offering the world its best archeologists, historians, scientists, physicists, chemists...This doesn't count.

[recain]

America did as much good as it did bad. This video is about common American ignorance and stupidity. Face is, my friend, it is true. You know it.
