Are Some Americans Stupid?

[NobleHunter]

Hatin' on America, and generalizing Americans as being stupid is just getting old and redundant now. Seriously, we're tired of it.

Quote Time!
"Lack of education on certain facts in no way represents intelligence."

These videos only build ontop of stereotypes, and as we all know stereotypes cannot be generalized. Each and every one of us know they edited these to choose the most ignorant responses they could find, and left out anyone who actually was informed on what they were asking. I know for one, I have no idea who the prime minister of Australia is, nor do I really need to know that information. If I asked some people who are not natural-born or naturalized citizens of the United States, I'm doubtful 100% of them could explain to me the interworkings of the U.S government; i.e., how a U.S president is chosen, or which path a bill takes in-order to be passed; nor could I really do the same for another country.

The truth is, we are all misinformed or not informed whatsoever on certain issues, and we shouldn't treat everyone as if they commonly know this information. I mean, I wouldn't expect every last single American, or even a few to know who the current Secretary of Agriculture is, nor would I look down on them for not knowing something they really don't need to know. These videos are just propaganda to make the overall perspective of the "typical" American as being ignorant. The ones who are ignorant are those who believe these videos to show the truth.

Personally i find ALOT of americans 2 b VERY conceited...and alot of ignorance comes from that.

Seriously, wth. Ok, lets look at it this way. You cant judge a book by its cover. Now in some cases you can.

Can you judge a library by one book??

Seriously, yes it can be amusing at times, but the fact that people can judge millions of people by 5-6 people, who you dont even know if they are serious or not. I saw one was from ebaums world, EBAUMS WORLD. Can't believe moderators are letting this thread continue...

Would like to see how perfect your country is..

Definition of "Conceited": Characteristic of false pride; having an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

I haven't met anyone living in the U.S to fit this description, but then again you can go around spouting famous people in politics, media etc. to fit this description. Blah, blah surprised this is still going lol

Not because i dont like americans but:

SRF has taught me that generalising is a bad thing.
