And I wasn't just saying you were mean, there is a real study. Canadians are the nicest, but americans are somewhere near the top of the list, above the UK by a few places. I'm to lazy to provide the link, it'll show up if you google it...
Such 'studies' provide useless and / or unreliable information. Much the same as vivisection.
By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space
Out of time.
Just a guess here, but i think it's not that Americans are stupider than other peoples but they are louder. So the Americans that are stupid stand out more.
I'm also guessing there is so much to learn about america that it's just not feasable to educate kids on much else when most wont ever leave the country anyway.
@Phizzy: Did you even read my post "...So really, no country is perfect...".
@DigiDreams TM: I'm using an online service that does not support chatrooms, and I don't think it checks for messages I missed when I was offline. It's still a bit buggy, so it may be dropping some messages. If you really can't contact me via MSN, just email me or something...
@AndyUK: That theory might be true...
@Pete Nattress: I was trying to prove that Americans are just as smart as anybody else. Why shouldn't we be, we're the same people just in a different spot.
@Brad: Arkansas? Alabama?
Hmm, I think that responds to all of the hate "mail" i've gotten in the last hour or so...
No, but really, Americans are more stupid than almost any other country, and louder. It happens with any large industrial power. On the scale of things, Britain is probably near the top of the list for stupidity. France too. I think places like Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Slokavia etc are the most clever.
Don't be a hatah, Noodle. Not all Americans are stupid. You can’t judge an entire country by the faults of its administration. (I know someone is going to say ‘o but who voted fer thm?!)
There are stupid people in every country.
Fine Garbage since 2003.
CURRENT PROJECT:
-Paying off a massive amount of debt in college loans.
-Working in television.
You presume I think Americans are stupid because they elected a stupid leader - incorrect. I think Americans are stupid from experience and also little nuggets I've researched here and there.
Every post you make merely strengthens my point of view.
That's wierd Keaton, I used to live in RI. Go eat some Papa Gino's for me (God I miss that pizza, that and Twins in North Providence; that pizza kicked ass as well.)
