Quote from: M Dogg on January 07, 2009, 09:04:45 AMPeople outside the US are retarded. Man, It's like they want to prove Americans are dumb. In reality, we are a nation of innovation, and invention.So is Japan and so is Holland. The average American that I've met (and I've met quite a few) is ignorant about a lot of things that I think is basic knowledge.

Quote from: King Sikotic II on January 06, 2009, 04:08:09 PMYou can definitely point a finger at the US educational system for a lot of American ignorance. At the end of the day though, you choose to remain blind to the facts.I agree with that. When I heard in America you learn topography in history class and not in geography class I was stunned.

Most complaints are about our lack of knowledge is history, our belief that Bin Laden is the ruler of Iraq, that Africa is a small country were everyone has AIDS, that all European countries that are not part of our blood must not exist and that all Asians must speak Chinese.

The average American that I've met (and I've met quite a few) is ignorant about a lot of things that I think is basic knowledge.I think that there are some areas where that is true, but at the same time there are areas where that is completely false. Each state has it's own education system, so a state like Minnesota, people are way smarter than a state like Mississippi. Even within the state, a state like California, I'm sorry LA public schools, but they are garbage, were as the private schools in California are some of the best in the nation. Like many countries, wealth also helps grant you a better education. So it is what it is. You will have it that Americans are ignorant, and that is true in some areas, but it ain't with all.
the fact that more than 40% of the us population believe in creationnism is symbolic of how dumb the average american is. It's crazy that a person like sarah palin who said to the LA times that she believe that human and dinosaures lived at the same time is also someting you dont see in my country
In Africa, they still kill people for practicing "witchcraft". I'm not aware of anyone in America doing that for about 500 years now.'Nuff said.

I didn't know there are different school systems in the US.Another thing that doesn't help America's image are their tourists. I swear... nearly every American that I see over here is just over here for the weed or wants the whole city to see them. Personally I understand why someone would come here for the weed, but still... Either way, it really gives us Dutch people the impression Americans are not intelligent.
