  • British people speak gibberish...and they call Americans stupid?

  • @Juggernog1995 British people speak gibberish? Correction; British people speak English, the language you speak, the language you often distort into gibberish yourselves. Please tell me you understand that different areas have different words for different things because of immigration and localised influences - that means the 'gibberish' you hear is normal for us, just like the gibberish you say is 'normal' to you. Don't be so fucking ignorant, this is exactly what this video is highlighting.

  • @jagerfaust2009 See this is exactly what everyone is talking about - arrogance laced with unbelievable stupidity. The fact that you have worse spelling than an extreme dyslexic shows that you are indeed, a shit specimen of a "human bean". Fucking hell you speak of 'edukation', go get some first before you profess to have the best in the world. Unless of course this over-the-top spastication of yours is put on for comedic effect.

  • some of this stuff you should've picked up from just being alive..

  • Afghanistan & Iraq: OMG, how did we lose to them?

    North Korea & Vietnam: Well, we aren't...

  • This is from an Australian COMEDY show called The Chasers. It's not CNN, did you notice it shows CNNNN in the corner

  • Arrogant Europeans saying "Americans are stupid" when they interview 100's of people and they pick the 10 people that actually got the questions wrong so some guy in Britain sipping tea and eating biscuits can laugh and say "I'm smarter than those stupid Americans".

  • The people who believe every American is this ignorant are just as ignorant themselves.

  • This is BULLSHIT! I love how they always interview ignorant people, then make moronic blanket statements about a whole nation.

  • @loveunderlaw If you can find people like these in a country, that is a sad, bro. In normal countries you can't find such dumb people.

  • @KimiScuderiaFerrari Yes you can - watch a clip called "British are also not stupid WITH SUBTITLES."  There are plenty of clips out there for several countries.

  • hey Americas not perfect but neither is the U.K. now i realise that we have an obeisity problem and our school system isent what it used to be also not all americans are fat,lazy,arragant and stupid maybe like 10 percent but 90 percent of americans are GOOD peaple!!!!

  • This is why us Brits call Americans stupid!!

  • @lilmissnorthernirish your arrogance disgusts me.

  • Haha Stupid Idiots 

  • A " Tri - Angle " Has no sides?? Are you kidding me?

  • So, these is why you didn't elect Ron Paul in 2008

  • fucken dumbass, a utopia is a scheme of a perfect society, its not a country.

  • @whispersosoftly No - we excel in some things. Various scientific fields, technologies, and the arts are very strong, even in public schools. Can you forward bias a BJT transistor with direct current? Simple. If your in a standard ionian mode and diminish the 7th interval, what is the natural cadence?? Why, we modulate to the subdominant, of course. It is lovely to see you again, by the way.

  • They did this for a joke it wasn't serious.

  • Comment removed

  • @brittanyverjes1 I'm sorry this got flagged - I'm glad I looked at it. It's a bit too angry hippie for me, but it's got to be the most reasonable post I've read, going through all this garbage. Well done!!

  • Americans are of the tribe of Jew Duh!

  • Comment removed

  • You probably paid them to say that or really searched for screw balls for this.

  • this has to be fake, because I can answer every question and im pretty sure everyone I went to school with can to. lol these ginger aussie scumbags interviewed some drug addicts probably.

  • @DarkosApprentice I'm sorry, where's the ginger?

  • THIS IS SOOOOOO SLANTED! I CAN ANSWER EVERY QUESTION- IM 13!

  • @AmericasAwesome1 same here and i live ny

  • @AmericasAwesome1

    First of all, this video was a joke.

    Second, who the hell makes their username like yours?

  • The Zionist controlled U.S. media loves to keep the American electorate ignorant!

  • @browneyes4 wtf?

  • @browneyes4 unfortuneately true.

  • @browneyes4 Zionist?

  • @browneyes4 IT'S THE JEWS WHO MAKE AMERICANS IGNORANT! OFCOURSE!

  • For some reason this really pisses me off.. and i'm not even American..

  • @taylor1654 I have seen videos of germans and british not being able to answer simple questions like this too.people are just stupid in general.since america is the worlds only super power we are just the easiest target.

  • @cassidy99ful No, it's just the average American is fat and stupid.

  • @MickJagoffable o.k. show some proof of what you say.and don't show videos like this because I can show videos of people from other countries not being able to answer simple questions too.go to any country and you will find that people are just plain dumb.

  • wow i'd kill these questions they're simple!! its not fair because he's asking republicans lol

  • NO WAY CAN THIS BE REAL.LOL TALK ABOUT DUMMING DOWN

  • Comment removed

  • WHY ARE AMERICANS AWSOME 1.INVENTED INTERNET 2.THE FIRST CAR BY FORD 3.THE COMPUTER 4.TV 5.YOUTUBE 6.GOOGLE 7.MICROSOFT 8.APPLE 9.OIL 9.HOTTEST GIRLS 10.FACEBOOK 11.MYSPACE 12.KILLING 13.WEAPONS 14.FIRST ATOMIC BOMB
  • the amount of stupid people in america is equally to the amount of obesity percentage in this country

  • Editing.

  • WOW! Im sure they just edited all the worst answers together... But oh man!!! that triangle question... That guy need the be deported!

  • "Name a country that starts with 'U'"

    I can name three right off the bat: Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Ukraine. And that's WITHOUT taking an hour to think of it.

    This interview was probably taken in Mississippi, the armpit of the asscrack of America.

  • A large percentage of Americans are ignorant as to what is going on in the rrest of the world. Alot of this is due to poor education at an early age. I learned nothing in school about Europeon History or Geography and had to seek out books and information simply out of a desire to understand history.

    This lack of information and lack of contact with Europe does leave Americans ignorant in areas of the world where we should know more..... but there are many Americans who are quie intelligent.

  • Fuck yeah Buddist Monks are Islamic!.. you can tell too 'cos, if you look at them real good. And foreigners are all Islamic and stuff too because they're like from the Eyerack, and stuff, which is in France.

  • @jarzhinio No Islam is a form of Buddhism, its like saying Christianity is a form of Catholicism, when their the other way around dipshit.

    They both believe in Allah right?

  • @iamyourgod1988 No you're the dipshit - I was being ironic (look it up) I thought the 'Eyerack is in France' might be enough of a clue. duuuuhhhhh!

  • @jarzhinio nah mate you are the dipshit, if you looked beyond your own nose you can't tell for irony in texting and the like.

    But of course dumbfucks like yourself who clearly is stupid but won't admit it have to claim you where speaking of irony as a get out clause either way highly amusing lol

  • @iamyourgod1988 Alright Einstein let's forget conveniently that 'Eyerack' is OBVIOUSLY a joke which any person who was not retarded would realise. 1) You mean 'were speaking’ not 'where speaking'? 2) "dumbfucks" is the subject of your sentence and as they are plural, you mean "are" not "is" 3) "you can't tell for irony in texting and the like" I don't know where to start with that mangled effort and finally 4) fuck you, you F - star, star - C U N T!

  • @jarzhinio stop acting like a complete pratt and deal with the fact that although america launched the war on terror yet without america there would be no reason for the war on terror pml, you need to wake up dumb fuck!

  • @andrew8833 OK I promise to wake up and realise that "without America launching a war on terror there would be no reason for the war on terror" ( - circular argument alert! catastrophic failure of logic!) However, if I do promise to wake up like the 'dumb fuck' I am, then you have to promise to stop being such a heinous, cousin fucking, shit-bitch who thinks that mashing their clenched fist on the keyboard counts as a valid comment, agreed, you smegma-embezzling dick-shunt?

  • @jarzhinio you really the worst part of you is you are that stupidly deluded you do realise you butchering 3,000 serbs and fucking around with pakistan caused osama bin laden to head al qaeda, without america al qaeda would not exist you stupid dumb fuck!

  • @jarzhinio also i would laugh my head off if the afghan government just told you to piss off, you haven't had the best reputation over there, they can evidently see you are using 9/11 as a scape goat to use the afghanistan soil as transport for your greed lol.

    china is kind using your debt too lol as a way of reaching so far ahead of your economy you will be kissing china's ass before too long ironic isnt it? stupid fuck.

  • @andrew8833 Riiiight ok reality check Andrew - what you're doing is imagining that we're arguing about something - when we are actually just trading insults (which you started you cunt). What you need to do is take a few deep breaths and when you've calmed down you can stop attributing eroneous views to someone you don't know and have never discussed the subject with. Then once you have done that why don't you go and boil your head you risible fuckmonger.

  • Comment removed

  • @andrew8833 1) 'breaths' is the plural of the noun breath, 'breathes' is a verb as in ‘to breathe’ 2) You mean 'they're in' not 'their in', (please pay more attention to basic grammar). 3) I am not American as should be obvious by now. Incidently I'd guess that you're a deeply religious person who thinks they're superior to others because they don't have your faith.

  • @jarzhinio Hahaaa says the dumb pillock that can not understand what one is saying when making a comment, like I would be listening to the person who can not comprehend one comment.

    For one that is when you fail to make any point since I am an Atheist you stupid delinquent moron

  • @andrew8833 Yes well you removed your previous comment didn't you Andrew? You know the embarrasing one where (please note the correct use of where) you tried to criticize my english by saying that 'taking a few deep breaths' was incorrect and it should have been 'breathes' - which is of course gramatically incorrect.

  • @andrew8833 Yes well you removed your previous comment didn't you Andrew? You know the embarrassing one where (please note the correct use of where) you tried to criticize my English by saying that 'taking a few deep breaths' was incorrect and it should have been 'breathes' - which is of course grammatically incorrect.

  • Comment removed

  • @jarzhinio Yea yea whatever you stupid delinquent fool, got the wrong comprehension on a comment so that's why I removed it moving on from that I am barely likely to take any lessons off a twit which has absolutely no intelligence of what you did in WW2 or any other war for that matter, you seem to have this delusional view America is good for the world when everything you touch goes wrong.

    Nice one dickhead, just like the dumb fucks in this video lol.

  • @andrew8833 as far as im aware, everything that everyone has been touching is going wrong. the world has been turning to shit lately, you can go ahead and blame america if you want. but that definately isnt helping anyone. dont get me wrong theres alot about this country that pisses me off, but i think were doing a pretty damn good job at making the world a better place. keep talking shit though, your ignorance makes great troll food

  • @vnvxvnv No I mean no nations perfect but America tends to think that the more restrictive cultured countries the ones that keep themselves to themselves are trouble, why the fuck is that?

    I mean take the average Afghan their just people wanting to live out their lives, but surely the onset of that you should have thought about what you where doing with neighbouring Pakistan where Al Qaeda started from, I mean you just can't comprehend cultures, look at what happened with Vietnam you lost.

  • @andrew8833 i dont think that, no one i know thinks that. our enemies as far as im aware are afghan and iraq mostly because of all the terror threats. thats our goverment though, us citizens have little say in the final decisions. however alot of us are open to different cultures not against it, this should be obvious since america is full of many different kinds of people. and so what we lost a war, who hasnt? either way, win or loss, we were still way more effective in that war then korea

  • @vnvxvnv No you can't comprehende cultures or certainly your government can't anyways, doesn't matter if you have whatever number of cultures in your own country that is 100% irrelevant.

    The fact is you paid some Pakistani soldiers to fight for your cause during the Cold War, that is one of the big reasons why Al Qaeda exists. Anything you say on the contrary is retarded.

  • @andrew8833 ok, and we 100% knew that al qaeda was going to form in that process? lmao its not like we wanted this to happen, we clearly did sometihng to piss them off.. however flying a plane into two huge towers, the pentagon and the white house killing more then 3000 people is not a reasonable reaction. thats disgusting, you cant blame some of for thinking so negatively of afghan etc. i mean imagine if we did that to your country, you wouldent be complimenting our culture that much either

  • @vnvxvnv But that's America all over doesn't care what occurs after they do things, that's what America is in it for their own selfish greed.

  • @andrew8833 "Just another herd of the sheep clearly that believe America is doing good it's stupid your brain screams delinquency foolish prick." man you really are an idiot arent you? ok, if you really think that then name some things your country did thats better then what we did? your letting a simple stereotype brainwash you, your ignorance is staggering. no matter what you say, the world wouldent be where it is technologically without america. and thats a fact buddy, you should be thankful

  • @vnvxvnv I will rephrase that (was using my HTC phone hyper sensitive touchscreen) just another sheep in the herd.

    No I am not an idiot you have been continuously preaching what the typical brainwashed yank says, so why would I ever think otherwise about you since you have been clearly brainwashed don't have a clue what you're country has done in reality abroad, ok then how about butchering 3,000 Serb's with no reason what so ever but stupidity and arrogance?

  • @vnvxvnv anything you do say on the contrary is just bullshit mate just another ignorant wanker with no brains that needs the media to tell him that america is anything to do about peace, now fuck off and deal with it asshole!

  • @iamyourgod1988 lol u mad? . im just stating the facts, and your just assuming. i dont even pay attention to the media, your just full of bullshit stereotypes that you cant let go, most likely because your life is shit and ripping on americans makes you feel better. dont worry your not alone, millions of people suffer from this its actually a known medical condition that causes bullying. all you proved to me is how fucked up in the head you are

  • @vnvxvnv That's all america boils down to selfish greed, you do not care for world peace as long as it has a price tag and you can claim that funds, that's where it ends with America, you see the British empire was about decency, we installed decency through creating the worlds biggest empire.

    When you will find that the majority of the commonwealth (all of them being ex parts of that empire) are grateful for that.

  • @andrew8833 excuse me, dont tell me what i do and do not care for. we dont care about world peeace as long as it has a price tag? please, give me one great example of that. now you just assuming and talking out of your ass, just because your media says these things dosnt mean they are true. every wealthy person i know is a part of some charity, besides the same thing can literrally be said about britain, since its also a wealthy empire. wealth = greed, dosnt matter what country you live in

  • Comment removed

  • @vnvxvnv Pakistan, former soviet Union, Vietnam, Peal Harbour lol.

    I could go on but really you do need to reassess what you know about your own country's morales, you seem to have this deluded belief America is good for the world, it's actually doing the contrary, paying Pakistan for oil refineries to make a share of their vast oil supply, which America doesn't have, so what resulted in that also paying Pakistani's for interferring with Russia in the cold war, why Al Qaeda exists as a result

  • Just another herd of the sheep clearly that believe America is doing good it's stupid your brain screams delinquency foolish prick.

  • @andrew8833 the only one here thats "deluded" is you. pearl harbor? do you even know what happened that day? let alone vietnam? none of these missions have anything to do with greed. and you really think were spending billions and putting our mens lives at risk for only oil? when we have a shitload in alaska already? you are quite possibly the most ignorant person i ever talked to on youtube. congrats

  • @vnvxvnv

    I mean hey us Brits we enslaved 1,000s of Africans and moved them over here for nothing than our own greed but hey least we have the balls to admit it, fucking joke you are mate get your retarded brain into gear or fuck off.

  • @iamyourgod1988 and for the record, i never said anything about peace, andrew did. read my comments carefully. your acting like were the only nation that sucks, hundreds of nations have done stupid things. for example, genocide. quite possibly the worst thing i can imagine: mao de-zong, china: up to 78,000,000 killed. jozef stalin from russia killed 23,000,000. howabout hitler, germany, 12,000,000 killed. and your complaining to me about 3000 people? its not just america, its the world you idiot

  • @vnvxvnv Let's recap shall we at what you said once "pretty damn good job at making the world a better place" pretty good yes at hypocrisy more like you delinquent fool

  • @iamyourgod1988 compared to most other nations, yeah. were big on charities and shit. your a dumbass lol

  • @jarzhinio See you put that at the end but what I have put is reasonable, yet you are too incompetent to realise that, makes you look ever so pathetic dickweed.

  • This proves nothing except for proving 12 out of 312 million Americans are idiots.

  • there is known winners are losers in war only victims and victimize-rs

  • keep your IQ zero

  • Hay, take heart, Einstein said "only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. and im not 100% sure of the universe" you get the stupid where ever you go. and everyone can be stupid at times. Here in the UK village idiots become politicians!

  • The UK is letting themselves be overrun by Muslims and multi-culturals, how smart is that??

  • does anyone else believe you can find stupid people like this in any country?

  • obviously we are smart or the world wouldnt have most the technology that we do today

  • @TheSnapperProduction Throughout the history, your people have survived by feeding of the suffering of other people. Starting with slaughtering the natives to killing the Muslims today. That's certainly impressive but definitely not in the way you put it, love.

  • @dxbblackwolf First of all, this video is saying that Americans are stupid, which has nothing to do with the suffering of other people. Second of all, im glad to say i havnt killed any natives or muslims. so living in America automatically makes me a bad person or something? obviously the killing of natives was long ago, and the reason for the killing of muslims is for our country's safety, ever heard of 9/11? American troops don't kill innocent people.

  • @TheSnapperProduction I didn't say you were a bad person, I'm simply saying that your success may not particularly be because you're smart people. Also, I'm sorry to tell you this, but American troops do kill innocent people. Civilian deaths in Iraq alone are 111,732, and that's only what's being told to us. Yeah, but who cares. Those lives are worthless aren't they? 3000 people died in 9/11. Poor Americans. Let's not forget the US's continuous support for the slaughtering of Palestinians.

  • @dxbblackwolf obviously we would have to be smart toe able to create the technology that we have today. it didn't just fall out of the sky. and no, Americans do not kill innocent people, i know people from other country would like to believe that, but not true. first of all, if that were the case, don't you think if Americans were doing the wrong thing, wouldn't your country be doing something about it? that number of civilian deaths is obviously wrong. cant believe everything you hear.

  • @TheSnapperProduction we can't do anything about it because Arab countries are weak as shit. And the Civilians have no voice because we live in dictatorships. Basically, we are getting killed and we just have to silently accept it. Well, whatever. I can't blame you for thinking that way. It's always great to live in your own little bubble believing whatever makes you happy. It's one of the luxuries that your country provides you. Good luck with your life, pal.

  • @dxbblackwolf the whole reason americans are over there is because they are trying to get rid of the dictators. Arab dictators kill more of their own people than any military from other countries. thats exactly y the US is trying to help Arab countries. we've built schools and hospitals there. and as for the "bubble" i live in, you must be living in a bubble as well. maybe you shouldn't be so judgmental of americans who only try to help

  • @TheSnapperProduction Yeah my bad, I didn't mean to be judgmental of Americans. I take my first comment back. Although, you're mistaken about what's happening in the middle east. I can explain it to you in a message if you want to. If you don't really care, I just want you to know that what the U.S. is doing there is not justice at all.

  • @dxbblackwolf you can message me. but i know the US isn't over there to cause destruction. i have a good friend in the US marines (which may be why im being defensive of the military) and he has pictures where there are people from iraq hugging him. he said that they almost praise the US military

  • @dxbblackwolf I can sum up the whole reason for them having a war greed, plain and simple.

  • Awsome!!!!! They probably asked thirty people, and picked several of the most stupid one's

  • How many sides does a traingle have? Seriously?

  • I bet they asked many more people the questions and only used the stupidest answers to make it seem like ALL americans are stupid. There are many smart people here as well. You can see that no matter where you go there will be dumb and smart people.

  • Comment removed

  • americans are retarded

  • These Brit or Aussie fucks or whatever they are, could do the same thing to the asshole dumb fucks in their respective countries. Also edit out all the correct replies.

    Unfortunately i believe that there were not too many correct replys to edit out.

    My point...There are dumb fucking people EVERYWHERE in this world. That's why these scumbags can wage so many wars & nobody stops them.FUCKING SHEEP.

  • im american and i can answer all of those that footage was edited...

  • i'm american and i could answer every question (correctly)

  • "How many sides does a triangle have? Damn, four." Are you serious???

  • @TacticalFLAW dude really this shit is edited..

  • @TacticalFLAW loooooooooooooooooooooooooool

  • fidel castro....a singer...i am ashamed of the country i was born in....

  • Americans are stupid. Face the facts bitches.

  • @TheFaker619 I am American and I'm not stupid thank you very much.

  • I am an American and it is pathetic that these people couldn't answer the simplest questions.

    PLEASE, WORLD, do not think that this is the intelligence level of all Americans. There had to be many people interviewed that knew the answers but they were just edited.

    Those that did make it into this video should be sterilized so that they can never breed again!

  • @sixt6mattstang yeah right! i bet you are the same like them! poor idiots americans

  • @zorilaz So we, Americans, are idiots? Maybe you should learn to spell before you post a video with the title "Beautyful Nature". It's Beautiful. Oh, by the way, this American uses proper grammar and punctuation. Judging by your channel you actually like American music and American artists. It would seem to me that someone is a little jealous that they reside in a shithole instead of the greatest nation on Earth.

  • @sixt6mattstang greatest nation that launches the war on terrorsm yet america is the reason for terrorsm on that scale lol, you need to wake up prick, you are not a great nation what for letting a man with a 20 year olds intelligence rule you incompetent imbecile.

  • @sixt6mattstang This is why u god damn Americans are so stupid!!! All the solution u find in problems is killing people! That, my friend, is pathetic.

  • @TheOnlyOneTorsched its funny cause ALL of you pathetic stereotypes have NO idea what its really like

  • @sixt6mattstang

    one thing i have learnt over my short life is that there are few rumors without a hint of truth.. its is no accident that lots of people think Americans are dumb.. consistently.. i mean people REALLY think that Obama is a terrorist... YOUR president...

    i believe 90% of people are stupid.. and its my job to not be one of them.. so if u think you are intelligent assume you are a minority. dont back people up unless you know them otherwise you might be disappointed....

  • @zonjordan There are so few of people that actually believe Obama is a terrorist, that I'm questioning the people you have met that think really believe he is a terrorist. A person is smart, but people as a whole are dumb. The majority of Americans are actually quiet intelligent. Most of these make claims about Americans that unfounded and unjustified as a whole. Yeah, there are isloated morons like these people, but I could go into any country and find morons that nothing about the world.

  • @BodybuildinginTX *know nothing about the world*

  • @ ScotsmanTillDeath - "The grammar in that says it all. Sheesh..."

    If you're implying that the improper capitalization, punctuation and use of a word that isn't recognized in the English language in the title of this post is somehow proof that American's are stupid, might I point out that the person that wrote the title claims to be from the Czech Republic, not the United States?!?

  • Why did they go to random people, they should interview people that study this stuff.

  • @Mrhockey1996 Because it was general knowledge that people with more than two braincells should know.

  • @djmcpbtazzy Can't argue with that.

  • @TheRealArchAngel - The United States of America is a federal constitutional republic comprising 50 semi-autonomous member states, a federal district (Washington D.C.) and several protectorate territories (some with representation and some without). If the USA were a federation of states (Union), the member states would constitutionally have the right to secede. They do not.

  • @KoivuTheHab - Actually, the phrase came into use in the 16th century with the Spanish phrase "El imperio en el que nunca se pone el sol" (the Empire on which the sun never sets). It was adopted by the English in the 18th century to refer to the territorial holdings of the British Empire, but its true origins are with Xerxes, who said "We shall extend the Persian territory as far as God's heaven reaches. The sun will then shine on no land beyond our borders."

    You are correct about England.

  • god why do people when ever they do these experiment go to the south or some inner city area like Detroit, go somewhere were people can afford a college education and you will get the answers your looking for

  • Er...United States TECHNICALLY isn't a "country",it's a Federation of States (Union)

  • "Proof of that americans aint stupid "

    The grammar in that says it all. Sheesh...

  • fake.

  • And Americans say Polish are stupid. :(

  • @limosisv2 - Sounds like an excellent idea for a new TV reality show. You should pitch it to some network producers... surely one of them will buy the concept. ROFL

  • @limosisv2 - I didn't say you did, though in re-reading my post, I can see how you might have thought I was saying that. I appologize to you for that and ask you to not take offense at my last post. No offense was meant.

  • @TheUnmercifulOne I wasn't going to say anything about the people of america, but you do have to admit, if the statistics are somewhat accurate, it paints a grim view of the intelligence of america. I understand not all americans are like that, but when you are running a democratic society and a large portion don't know the facts and/or don't care... And they vote. That to me is scary! Look at recent times, all thiss fuss over obama apparently not being american. And then the evils of healthcare

  • @limosisv2 - I admit that there are certain segments of the American population that don't seem to have enough brain energy available to generate a single cohesive thought. And those same people seem to have an uncanny aptitude for displaying that glorious lack of intelligence. Most intelligent Americans just roll their eyes and think... natural selection will take care of this fool. Unfortunately Darwin's theory doesn't always seem to apply.

  • @TheUnmercifulOne Haha if only. Natural selection rids the world of clueless opinionated idiots and leaves behind a rational and reasoning utopian world. I would love to do a social experiment: take all the fucking idiots of the world, put them on an isolated island and tell them to build a society... Sad thing is that you would probably be able to watch a repeat of our history just watching them. :S

  • @limosisv2 - I'm an American and I realize you don't agree with everything I say, or even how I say it. But I ask you... do I sound like I'm stupid? I know a lot of people, both American and non-American. Some are stupid to the point of being moronic while others are so intelligent it gives me a headache just trying to keep up with them. But I have never once called anyone stupid unless they've proven they deserve the moniker. To do otherwise isn't funny, its pathetic.

  • @limosisv2 - Even the once vaunted Chinese economic juggernaught has stumbled this past fiscal year, due in large part to a shift in the purchasing habits of several western nations. They still own 40% of the USA's debt (not sure of other countries) however.

  • @limosisv2 - England is a country, part of the United Kingdom and head of the English Commonwealth, of which Canada and Australia are part of. At one time, 'the sun never set on the English Empire." As for Russia, does the title 'Union of Soviet Socialist Republics' ring any bells? Both now are a mere shadow of their former glory. Actually the USA's GDP (arguably a more acurate measure of economic power) has increased in 20 of 22 industry groups while the rest of the G8 have fallen.

  • @TheUnmercifulOne Actually it's ''the sun never set on the British Empire'' England was never and empire, the United Kingdom was, and England was part of this empire.

  • @limosisv2 - The USA was able to provide the supplies and materials to Russia and England because of that isolation... because we were relatively safe from attack. 911, like Pearl Harbor before, shook us from our complacency, put us on the offensive, made the ones who took innocent life on purpose scared. Are Americans supermen? No. Are we geniouses? Again, no! We are just a country of ordinary people that are proud of what they've built for themselves. Again I ask, can you say any different?

  • @limosisv2 - I missed nothing. Geography more than anything else plays the major role in why wars are fought. Being relatively safe due to the buffer of not one but two major bodies of water, it is easy to forget how lucky the American (and Canadian) people are. But what you must understand is our good fortune didn't just happen. We fought for and nurtured it... all with the castoffs from other countries. Can Americans be stupid? Some can. But can you say any different about your country?

  • @limosisv2 - As for Russia... just another failed empire living on the laurals of its former heros. And yes, I know the USA empire is faltering and that without dramatic intervention in the very near future will in all likelyhood fail. My response to that is let it. Its corrupt from within and is unlikely to change. The good thing in its failure is places like England and Russia (your country I believe) will have to go elsewhere (China maybe) to support your bankrupt economies.

  • @TheUnmercifulOne You've missed my point, i was talking about how hard it was for the brits and russians, having their cities overrun and having the will power to stave off the invasion and you respond by saying what? That america supplied them? Who Supplies who mean nothing when the citizens from a nation need to paint thier roofs and windows black to try and hide from in coming night air bombing raids. Regardless of who america is supplying, britain, russia or germany itself.

  • @TheUnmercifulOne Hang on a second, how is either england or russia "failed empires"? England is doing a damn sight better than america in the GFC and poverty rates in russia have dropped 1/4 in the last 10years. And i'm from Australia.

  • @limosisv2 - Sorry... Stalin traded land/people's lives for time to rebuild Russia's factories deep in Siberia... a tactic that would not have worked if it had not been for the USA's Lend-Lease program as well. The importance of the European battles the US Army were involved in not-with-standing, our provided the arms and supplies necessary to the British and Russians were key to the Allies winning the war. The fact that Bradley & Patton kept saving Monty's arse was just icing on the cake.

  • @limosisv2 - No denying Britian's resolve and sacrifice during the Battle of Britian... but without supplies from the USA, what would they have been able to accomplish and for how long? As for the Russians, until the Germans attacked them, the Russians were actually allied with Germany. And correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not) but didn't the US retake all the territory lost by the British and Americans to the Japanese BEFORE we dropped the atomic bombs (2)?

  • @limosisv2 - And you gathered your information from first-hand experiences? I don't deny using resources like history books and the Internet to back my arguments. That's what they're there for, to learn from. And I think you may have been the one watching too many films. I'm not naive enough to assume that only the Americans defeated the Germans. My point was only to counter your OBVIOUSLY limited grasp of history past the date of your birth.

  • There are times when Americans are self-absorbed, even to the point of being arrogant, but at least we aren't elitist jerks like most Europeans. I've spent several months touring the 'old countries' and have experienced FIRST HAND the so-called intelligence of Europeans. My forefathers showed the real intelligence when they turned their backs and put places like London, Paris and Rome behind them for good.

  • And on D-Day, the largest amphibious assault of a beachhead in WW2, the Allied order of battle consisted of 73,000 Americans, 61,715 British, and 21,400 Commonwealth. The casualties rates were Omaha Beach (American - 3,127), Sword Beach (British - 683 men KIA), Gold Beach (British - 421 men KIA), Juno (Commonwealth - 359 KIA), Utah (American - 212). The British took the hard road indeed. Care to look up the statistics for other engagements?

  • @TheUnmercifulOne Man that is so cool. You've watched saving private ryan! Actually that was pretty much the entirety of ww2, america selflessly supplied weapons to lowly inferior nations involved in a small skirmish. Then pearl harbour was bombed by the japanese and our american heros swung into action invading normandy in spectacular fashion causing the nazi party to crumble out of fear. Then they bombed japan and the war was over, the world saved once again by our american heroes!

  • @TheUnmercifulOne My point was never that america did fuck all but twiddle their thumbs in ww2. It was in fact not even about war. It was that americans have this arrogance about war and alot of americans are clueless about the world. I dare say if the wikipedia didn't exist you wouldn't have any arguments. Thank god for wikipedia hey?

  • @TheUnmercifulOne And by me saying britain and russia did the hard yards, they were 2 major players in ww2 that repelled organised axis invasions in battles that arguably had the biggest impact on the war for the better. Since i can tell you love wikipedia, look up the battle of britain and the battle of stalingrad. 2 of the most destructive battles in recent history that changed the dymanics of the war. Then look up battle of berlin and realise this...

  • @TheUnmercifulOne I know you'll love this as most americans love communist russia... Russia had a much bigger part in the nazi defeat than america did!

  • @limosisv2 - And you have the nerve to say Americans are stupid? The British were only able to hold off defeat at the hands of the Germans due in large part to the MASSIVE supplies the USA sent to England (LEND-LEASE Program). Germany was defeated mainly due to the fact that England was used as one big staging area to launch bombers and, eventually, soldiers from. The German industrial might was bombed out of existence. THAT is what won the war, not that arrogant arse Monty.

  • And one other thing america is really kicking ass in is a lack of acceptance and inclusion amongst different cultures, religions, sexual preference etc. You even have a major political party to represent the "conservative white heterosexual man's" dominance, the republicans. Oh america is kicking ass in not progressing into the modern age. Well done indeed
