Tas, the Americans are not stupid, they have about the same proportion of morons than the rest of the world has, and certainly about the same as we have
theirs just speak louder these days, unfortunately
but no US bashing because of one specific moron out of 280 millions svp, let's not fall into these crass over simplifications that we're ourselves the victims of these days

Trust me, go out and ask random people on the street questions about the current world....Most of them wont answer correctly When I came to this country, I had heard the averege people are soooo intelligent and all that.....And I come here and their not. Their stupid. The averege Russian knows more about the world around them than the averege American knows about the state around them.
I'm not "crassly oversimplifying" things. I've been here quite a while, and the ratio of stuipd-to-intelligent is strikingly unfavorable.
Americans are unintelligent because they dont need to be intelligent. They dont need to know about the world around them so they would rather deal with the finances or just enjoy their lives. Thats good in some ways, bad in a lot of others.
Edit: Though I will admit, the french arent much better

"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world
Tas,
you're pointing at a lack of knowledge, or of culture, not at a lack of intelligence. Having worked a long time in the US, I truly havn't seen more morons there than anywhere else. I have seen moronic behaviour, and certainly 99% of the media and politicians dumbing down issues, but I see that around the globe and in the end, we're all the same. Our cr*p stinks likewise.
Why are Americans so... stupid... and oblivious, I never can decipher how we can control most of the god damn world being supported by the morons that we have everywhere in this country?!
"Our words are backed with NUCLEAR WEAPONS!"​​
apparently being full of morons is necessary condition for becoming the MOST POWERFUL nation in the world.
man, i'd be embarrassed if i were from another country...

Another dazzlingly original French-bashing thread.
My cup runneth over......
"Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us. If it is, let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance, for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us." --MLK Jr.
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

This reminds me of WWI when people removed everything German from sight, even German-Americans were blacklisted, mugged, etc.
Even worse for the Japaneses in WWII. They got locked up in concentration camps.
