Why People Believe Americans Are Stupid

[Just_Believe18]

Americans will always be less intelligent then the british. And the Japaenese. And the rest of the world

The name a country that begins with a U questions is hysterical.

Way to go, chap. You just exhibited the Imperialistic motto of the old British Empire. Do you have any idea how many people have suffered, died, and been oppressed by your statement, "_____ will always be less intelligent than the British?" If you knew a little about your history, perhaps you would have refrained from making such an ignorant, if not historically evil comment.


As for the video, it's nothing new. Leno does this all the time. Basically, if you ask enough people you get a lot of whacky responses. This video showed only 100% wrong answers. How many right answers did they have to filter through? Notice they asked the same clueless people the same basic questions? It's all for a laugh and not to be taken seriously by most of you here.

Go to any country around the world and ask the general populace the same kind of questions. Human nature will show people will blindly follow and make judgements based on opinion rather than facts.

If you took this video seriously under it's context of humor, then you are actually the stupid one.

Jeeze. I thought it was funny and I saw it as a joke. Its sad but true. America seems to be blessed with lots of idiots walking around. Until the Australia Golden Shower video, I didn't know what the Australian Prime Minister looked like. But I could name several countries that start with U, my first thought being Uruguay and then the USA. Also the United Arab Emirates is another one.

I can guess why your first thought was Uruguay... lol

First of all, sorry to all you American guys out here!

But secondly...Well, I don't think Americans are STUPID stupid. More like ignorant-stupid. The thing is, they seem to live in their own little world, oblivious to what's happening outside their little "kingdom". And they have all these institutions like the Prom or the Sweet 16 that they seem to overly emphasize , and often feel superior towards other nations.Not to mention all the crazy fashions/lifestyles (Hollywood and its crazy diets/workouts/fake tans/hair extensions/whatever) seem to begin from there !!

But if it helps at all, I'm half Swiss and let me tell you, most Swiss people are stuck-up like that too, and think whatever is not Swiss is not good and that they're the best F*cking country in the whole world ! And they're completely oblivious to the outside "world" too ... They live in their own lil' world.

America is a very beautiful country, its the people that live here that suck. We allow our elected leaders to piss away our hard earned tax dollars while millions of families sleep on the streets, and suffer violence, humiliation, degradation, and even murder just because they are poor and homeless. Drug dealers poison our children and adults minute by minute of every day while police mass forces to crack down on speeders and jay walkers. There are more tickets written for cars parked improperly than drug dealers arrested. Adults who commit crimes against children have more legal protection and rights than the children they violate. The only solution is Americans, each and every person that lives here demands that this shit stops.....and it stops now!!! And if the politicians elected by the people do not respond to the people, then the people must get those overpaid losers out of office and elect someone that will do something to bring about a positive change. If every American voice was raised against this crap, something would be done. Just my thoughts and opinions.....and prayers........I am old now, and don't have many years left......I feel great sadness for the world my grandbabies are inheriting from my generation....for we have failed them so miserably. No, I don't think Americans are stupid, they are just lazy, apathetic, and willing to put up with a lot of bullshit so long as it does not rock their own little corner of paradise.

I can actually understand why Americans are too ignorant. The country itself probably has too many events for the people to worry about ( it's too vast, people). Besides, I can't agree more with some people that they just deliberately picked the silliest to appear on screen to snigger at. Not all Americans are like that.

If nothing else this is what makes The United States of America a great country .

The New Colossus​

​

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Not to mention that the totally-misguided War On (Some) Drugs) announcements are ALL marijuana this, pot that, smoking a blunt, etc. I haven't heard heroin mentioned by the Government in DECADES, if ever, but it's ONLY about pot, and I think that almost all schoolkids (middle school and high school) already know it's a very benign drug. Even the ones who haven't tried it and never will.

This is only Example #3,177 of why our ruling government is STUPID.
