They can't be that bad... can they?

 

[Pabmove]

I'm biting my lips on this one.

But in all fairness to Americans, I'm sure this vid was cherry picking clips ....

Oh my!!!!!.... These Dumb Americans are getting dumber and dumber as well as fat... America is the dumbest nation on the planet, they should be ashamed of themselves .. No nation is as F^£in dumb as these folks... losers!!!

70% of teenagers in the US think that there is no other country present outside of the US.. EH?? Dumb F^£ers!!! Get an education and stop killing innocent people around the world u retards. America has killed more innocent people around the world than any other country put together...

F^k this im shorting the dollar and the US stock market... hope it collapses!!!!

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Not alot of love for the americans I see. Ive seen one on the british public as well and to be honest we were equally poor.

 

[shadowninja]

Post up the video.

Any country, society or set up only needs 10 % of its population to be highly skilled and intelligent to be sucessful.

Does not compute. When the USD is strong the stock market is usually weak, and vice-versa.

BTW, Private Eye carries a regular feature called "Dumb Britain" with examples at least as stupid as in the clip. I think there is also a YouTube clip for Germany as well, and maybe others.

And to be fair to the interviewees, having a microphone stuck under your nose and cameras glaring at you can easily lead to brain freeze I would think.

We're screwed, then.

[squall321]

i know there's stupid people in every country blahblahblah

 

[Pabmove]

ok, I just hold it

I don't think Americans are stupid, they just don't care about other cultures .... oh wait ... that's stupid isn't it?

 

[Ambrose Ackroyd]

Any democratic nation that can elect a dumbass bastar*d like George Bush to the Presidency must be inherently fricking stupid.

 

[zambuck]

...At least they elected one....We have plonked one on us without even voting for him....Now who is more stupid....US or us...?

 

[Ambrose Ackroyd]

Good point... and a Jock no less.

 

[N Rothschild]

go down your local council estate im sure it will be filled with just as many morons as in these videos. and its hardly surprising the average American doesn't give a toss about the world outside its borders.

 

[Ambrose Ackroyd]

Quite frankly, I don't give a toss about the world outside my front door.

And back and side doors too.

Absolutely. And then to go and compound that stupidity by electing Obama!

However, in fairness to the Americans, many people inexplicably imagine that one ought to vote regardless of whether there are any acquisitive chimps that one wishes to vote for. Strange, but true.

So one could take the view that they didn't vote for George Bush - they voted against Al Gore and John Kerry (!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Let us not forget the UK. Some people (very few, of course, but a sufficient number to ensure an entirely bogus "landslide") actually voted for Tony Blair. I challenge anybody to name a more vacuous human being, or a more obvious liar (even from the perspective of 1997, and without the benefit of the experience of the past decade). Certainly you will struggle to find in the media more than a handful who saw through one of the most obvious con-artists of the 20th century.
