Are Americans Dumb

not all americans are dumb, not anymore than anywhere else in the world; however, there are more ignorant people there on a whole than in Europe.

Having lived in the US for over fifteen years, I have met/heard some really stupid remarks on countless ocasions, but it's more a result of ignorance rather than being stupid. Lots in the US think the US is the best place in the world and look no further (or not even interested). Not saying that it is or isn't (good and bad everywhere I think) but it is more to explain why they may be so self centered and blind to a lot of other realities, which may make them look dumb sometimes.
 
It doesn't matter who the Americans vote for.

Their country is run by banks and corporations.
 
I tend to look above the stereotyping and Spitting Image slant of things.

To read up on his life is more interesting that people may think.

Conversely, ask Britons the same question and the results might be similar.

I wasn't thinking of or reffering to him particularly, just the place in history comment.

Anything american president wise would.

Quite possibly, but without a wide study we will never know ;)

:D
 
Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
 
Those militaristic idiot Americans who invented the internet are pretty stupid.

You mean the Jews.

The Lizard Jews ;)


People don't seem to realise this, Obama is the single most left wing guy in the democrat party, he voted against lots of legislation most democrats found to be extreme and, honestly, stupid.

In America(and elsewhere) they have a tendency to swing like a pendulum thats having weight added to it, they swing one way further than ever before, then they swing back the other way further than ever before.

Palin also didn't hurt McCanns chance of being elected, most people couldn't give a toss about the VP, the thing that got Obama elected was being democrat, every time a president has the kind of approval rating Bush had, the election ALWAYS goes the other way, really no matter who was in charge.

Thats the problem, Obama won by being a democrat, not being black, not for the promises he made, just for not being Bush/republican. The fact he's pretty much done absolutely nothing while in power, and realised his promises were ridiculous, half the country who did just view Obama as the obvious choice, now think he's basically a liar, and now want to swing back the other way.

Palin almost certainly won't win a nomination if she ran to be a candidate, but whoever wins for the Republicans will likely not do much with their insanely bad debt and it will swing to someone even more left wing than Obama.

The ridiculous thing is, Obama could have just not promised more than he could deliver, and he's still have won, and wouldn't be having the "wheres the crap you promised" backlash he's now getting.


Its exactly the same way we in the UK vote Labour back in after Conservatives half fix our economy, we forget who caused it and swing back the other way. A lot of countries swing back and forth from election to election, people over react and even worse, most people have no idea how long term changes won't happen over night, in 4 years they'll be blaming Conservatives for the debt, forget it was Labour that made it, and 4 years later we'll vote the Conservatives in again wondering how Labour increased the debt even further again.


People are stupid, not american's, not english people, just people in general.

The worst problem for the USA and the UK, is too many stupid people are allowed to vote, and actually become politicians. If Palin didn't have boobs, no one would have elected her brain dead moronic ass for anything, except you know, a PTA commity or something.

Some of those are just wrong, And saying all those are all just because of the USA is silly the research of other countries contributed or created the tools to make those possible. However the point still stands that not all Americans are stupid.
 
Of what?

I'm not the one making idiot comments on an entire nation out of ignorance.:rolleyes:

And your cut&paste post on satire would be great if you had actually been satirical in the OP rather than just ignorant.

*pats castiel on the head* Yes dear.
 
To borrow from Bill Bryson, it's not that Americans are dumb....it's just that they are so routinely spared the need to think about things that they kind of get out of the habit of doing so.
