@pillowbugg I wouldn't go that far. 1/3 of Americans getting a simple fact completely wrong doesn't mean the other 2/3 are smart. It's more like 15% imo.

There's a country where 41 MILLION depends on food stamps.

hahahaha..........WOW!!!!!!! a country packed with useless, lazy, lackadaisical numbnuts who're just not educated enough and not qualified enough to get great jobs.

......and stupid enough to keep blaming China for stealing away jobs from the US.

Americans......LUDICROUSLY STUPID and UNBELIEVEABLY IGNORANT.

well i the UK a WMD expert by the name of Dr David Kelly informed Tony Blair UK PM at the time that there was no WMD in Iraq and they didnt have the technology capable of WMD 1 week after that he was found dead in a ditch (obviously why) then few weeks later war was declared for Saddam's head basically but realistically for oil now imho it was Saddam who supposedly killing his people was really keeping the likes of the taliban and al qaeda under control

@DrunkenPoetic your spot on

The thing about Saddam and 9/11.

From what I understand Iraq weren't involved in the attack, but it's not like the Young Turks have any in depth understanding of the whole affair either.

I don't really understand the whole thing. I just know little bits I've picked up.

Most people are too naive to even KNOW how little they understand. Most people are dumb enough to think they know a lot.

Everyone's a fucking expert these days.

This goes for liberals too.

@bigrigJim or it might prove that they dont have the means or opportunity to go other places.

and yeah you can still be perfectly happy anywhere... i'm perfectly happy living where i am now. but for the chance to travel to other places... see great things...

take a week anywhere simply to experience something else than normal... in my eyes.. those who think they're so happy to be somewhere that they would never leave even for a while... they're very ignorant

@clwgirl510

Only a silly American without a passport would say Turks are ignorant.

Go live in Turkey.

Ask the people there 'Hi, do you have a passport"?....and they'll think you're just ANOTHER STUPID American.

I've been based there for 9mths, and I can confirm that more than 90% of them have PASSPORTS......vs only 30% of silly Americans who have passports.

hahaha...developed country? Nahhh.....US is merely a developing country with a DEVELOPED military.

No big deal.

@bigrigJim

You're wrong.

Wyoming is a fantastic place.

Probably the best place in the world to live.

Ask any silly American who's stuck in Wyoming with no passport, and with their useless sons (with no future) who're HIDING in the US military due to poor educaton and low-quality upbringing........they will tell you how grand Wyoming is.

Acute symptom of DEPRIVATION and IGNORANCE.

@menzerna1234 I've been to Wyoming , it totally sucks. If your going to spend time there you might as well just head out to another country.
