Gee... they find the dumbest people they can out on the street and show them making fools of themselves, editing out all correct answers of course.  ::)

I'm sure you could do the same thing on the streets of any European country.




BTW, I'm American and I knew the answers to every one of those questions, as I'm sure anyone with an IQ above 100 who hasn't been living in a cave for the last decade would.  ::)

IQ isn't even a true way to measure intelligence. Infact there is no definition for intelligence because people have differing views on what intel is. IQ tests have steadily risen over the past decades and the way i see it is that people are getting dumber or atleast personal opinion is getting worse.

Well I have a Dominican friend that works construction in the Boston area he's always pointing that most Americans working with him don't  have a clue about Geography (I mean theyre construction workers not like they went to collegue) but my friend knows US geography more than then! and he grew up in Dominican, hell he can't even speak english that well  lol...

Most Americans don't have a passport. Heck, I bet a majority of Americans have never travelled more than 100 miles from their place of birth.

World geography is not an American strong point. That said, the video seems pretty heavily edited to pick out the biggest morons.

I think the point of the thread is that most americans are illiterate morons, while the rest of the world puts education and intelligence at a higher priority then watching 'BET' and caring about bling bling or working at mcdonald's. In most European nations adults in their early 30's typically have a degree or two, with a high percentage having masters and ph.d's While in the land of freedom you can get away with an elementary school education.

I get very sick of this American-bashing that constantly goes on in internet message boards. The bashers usually point to the dumbest, most uneducated, most uncouth 25 or 35% of our population and try to make out like they represent us all. The bashers either know better, in which case they're being disingenuous, or they don't know any better in which case they are the ignorant ones.

You can look at the less-educated lower and working classes of the countries any of the America-bashers are from, and chances are they'd fare no better, and probably worse.

Don't get me wrong, Americans represent some of the smartest, brightest and most educated people on earth, but you have to agree on percentage level, most of your country is inhabited by idiots.

Those "Europeans" were running away from european culture in order to start a new way of life.

Dont try to label the people who came to America as "European" because they didnt want anything to do with Europe thats why they left in the first place  :o

There certainly is a perception that a greater proportion of your country may be uneducated and ignorant.  I have no facts to base that on, its just a suggestion from how many republicans you have and the halfwit gimp that leads you ;D 

There's no way in hell you'll ever transcend that opinion whilst you've got a muppet in charge.    There are a lot of world leaders who seem like twats but none of them are perceived as sub-par intelligence.

Sure there are a large number of idiots here, just like there are everywhere else.  I haven't noticed the percentage being any higher in the US than in any of the other countries I've visited.  There is more social control in many countries, so American idiots may be more free to express their idiocy than idiots in say, Singapore or Russia, but that doesn't mean there aren't just as many present.

I'm an American, and this post is 100% correct. America is the country that elected George "Dubya" Bush to not one, but TWO terms, afterall. A plethora of dumbass rednecks permeate the landscape. Unlike Goatboy, I feel no need to be defensive and defend America with the large percentage of dummies that populate this country. With all of America's wealth, the education system by and large SUCKS.

Wealth does not equal intelligence, it equals power....history should teach you that my friend.

I don't really see the point in exaggerating things (as you have) but to comment on what you've said I believe it is definitely true that outside perspective of the US was healthier prior to GWB. 

There aren't a lot of people outside of the US who believe anything less than you're ran by an embarrassing gimp.  You can't blame people for making the conclusion that "there are a lot of stupid people in america" for said gimp to have got himself in.  People are literally threatened by the fact you've got a guy who is clearly of subpar intelligence in charge.  Its really worked out great, everybody thinks there are a lot of fucking stupid, crazy fundamentalists in your country.  Its an opinion based on nigh on fear!

That doesn't mean "all" americans are stupid and nobody thinks that.  Just it would seem that you are accosted with a larger proportion of these imbeciles than perhaps more than most countries - atleast, it would seem that way.

At least you are lucky to be in korea, which is one of the richest in asia with hk/sg/jap. Imagine if you were borned a little more up north... ;D

you can always migrate to the US. There is no conscription (cause the conscripts will sue and protest on the streets if the draft comes into effect). You got celebrities like britney walking around without panties, and  you can live on social welfare while surfing getbig.com bitching about what a terrible job the government is doing ! got to love the US ;D

You said something to the effect of the wealth of this country not translating into the education system, thereby diminishing the "intelligence" of this country, or "all the dumb rednecks" as you called it.  Just because we have wealth doesn't make us any more smart, efficient, or education-savvy.  Since when does having wealth translate into producing smarter people via the education system?  The education system has much more to do with who's controlling the means to the power.

Try me Benny....what's your degree in?

Let me guess, something in the behavioral sciences?

You sure bluff big, with your elitist color commentary (and I might have a guess as to that color.....does that start your emotional "charge?").

If you want to get into an argument over semantics, sure, we can argue over the definition of debate, but I hardly think it's going to win either of us any medals.  I would rather challenge your intelligence that you hold so high and mighty.  I mean, wow, apparently somebody has to make an appointment to argue with you.  If you want to measure your knowledge against mine, class starts in ten minutes, son.
