Are Americans Really That Stupid?

i agree with you, but i think you mean Captain Cook. Captain James Cook was the first European to make contact with the eastern coastline of Australia. Captain James Hook was the villainous pirate of f J. M. Barrie's Novel Peter Pan.

But just proves you that us americans are not all that super.

Krima!

Love, before you start spouting crap, you better at least know how to type correctly and use proper grammer.

'love' yours isn't so perfect either, if you're going to be that picky i'm afraid i have got to tell you that 'you better' doesn't make any sense. it's you had better you patronising f ck

We are also pleased you are not from the US!

You wanna know something else that's funny? America is the best damn country in the world. Every person you interviewed in that movie was an idiot, try asking the smart people who live in America those questions, we would get every single question right, know why? Cause were the richest, smartest, and best F**king country in the world.

So if your the smartest and the richest why is that the most addvances in technology made in Asia by Asians, and if your so rich why don't you pay back the U.S.As 1 or 2 hundred billion dollar debt hummm

what is it that makes you so sure that the usa is the best country in the world? have you ever actually been anywhere else you arrogant f cker. pull your head out of your a rse.

The US is the best country in the world.

yeah alrite if you say so mate
hope you can manage to get your head around the oh so difficult concept of sarcasm there

I do. No sarcasm intended. But please, don’t stand from afar and snipe. Enlighten us on the great countries of the world. Please concentrate your work on locals superior to the US.

well why don't you enlighten me as to why exactly you think the us is 'the best' country in the world. its just such an arrogant view point to have.

The US offers freedom of speech, religion, and thought. Opportunity to succeed, or fail regardless of race, religion, or creed. Documented and protected personal civil rights for citizens.
The citizens of the US give more to world hunger, AIDS, and Missions than the rest of the world combined. The US government gives more to world hunger, and AIDS than the rest of the other world governments combined. The US offers aid to other countries in almost every emergency. The US contributes the lions share of the UN budget.
This pales in comparison with the US’s willingness to shed there own blood, to save others. A few examples are: WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Gulf war1, and Iraq. Then the US pores billions into these countries to rebuild them. Unparalleled.
Personally, I have traveled through almost all of the pacific. Some of Asia. Almost half of Europe, and some of the middle east. Obviously visiting many great countries. None compare to the US.
Now maddyc, name your country, and why it is better.

Do you think that guy went around looking for stupid people. Do they have some kind of distinguishing characteristic that immediately shows they are stupid. I think the point is that america isn't stupid. it is inward looking and culturally lame. I suppose you could expect nothing less from a country younger than my house

And you don’t recognize a edited video? Really clever!

U FINALLY GET WHAT IM SAYING YESSS!!! WE ARE THE BEST THEY ASKED ALL THE STUPID PEOPLE IF WERE SO STUPID WHO SAVED UR EUROPEAN ASS IN WWI AND WWII WITHOUT US WE WOULD ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN. SO YOU BETTER TREAT US WITH REPECT OTHER WISE ALL YOU JEWS, CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO BELIEVES IN GOD AND JESUS WOULD BE DEAD!

I bet that every one in the US and in canada that if we look down our family trees that oh look we are all from the UK when it was all unjust and what not.. but just because you say that the US is dumb is like point at your much bigger and strongger brother and yell "F*g " in then you will must likly find yourself in a lot of pain. Now yes the US is great but there are things that have come from the US that aren't all the great and good for you like the Nuclear bomb. A large number of your funds go in the direction of war and if the US didn't seem to go to so many wars then yes I would say it's the greatest in the world but then again I don't realy care. I"m only doing these to get this S**t off my chest.

american's need to stop using this to lord it over europeans. the uk was fighting against nazi germany from the beginning, what took america so f cking long to come to our aid against megalomaniacal facist dictators anyway? and russia helped win the war too, and you don't hear them going on about it.

thank you! yeah america was late, as per usual, to get involved. and if they knew ANYTHING about history, even their own, they'd see that they could've damn been french speaking or spanish speaking, so quit your bitching. hey, we founded your nation, thank us later.

what day is thanksgiving in england? july 4th. cus you all finally peaced out. thank god.

Not to over simplify, but…. Europe, and Russia were both attacked by Nazi Germany. The much maligned US was not.

yeah i do know that. my point was that the americans should have got involved earlier despite the fact they werent attacked. britain and france got involved before they were attacked. maybe an invasion was more likely but its not right to sit back and let that sort of S**t happen. maybe you think it is, but thats merely my opinion.

As a proponent of American unilateralism you also support the Bosnian and Iraq wars?

its not really the same thing as stepping in when effectively one man has decided his race (which wasn't even his own race) is genetically superior to all the rest and is effectively attempting to take over the world and 'cleanse' it of anyone he doesnt like, jews, gays, gypsies, disabled people...anyway, america was attacked and joined the war, it wasnt just a case of hmm lets pretend hitler has weapons of mass distruction and start a war which has nothing whatsoever to do with an attack on america so we can jack a bit of oil and keep our people oppressed and complacent through fear. i'd like to point out that i am not anti-american, i havent actualy made any anti-american comments on here. i have american relatives. but i do think bush is a f ckin moron. i think the election of obama is a real hope that maybe your country can turn things around after the abomination that was the bush administration. closing guantanamo for example, a step back towards the existence of basic human rights. all i've said is that commenting on the intelligence of the american troups as though they are all of some inspired genius, is just as stupid and assuming as the assumption that they are all stupid. and claiming your country is the best in the world offends me due to the consistent erosion of basic human rights which has been occuring there throughout the duration of the last presidency. there are many things about america which are far from being 'the best.' i'm not claiming any other country is the 'best' in the world. i just think such claims are ludicrous.

Not really the same? Sadam was involved in genocide. He massacred Shea, Curds, and homosexuals, to name a few. He tried to conquer the Middle East. Attacking both Iran and Kuwait. He used WMD on both Iran, and his own people. While addressing WMD, where do you think Libya got there nuclear weapons program? Ditto the Syrian nuclear program that the Jews blew up last year? Do you think a jinn suddenly made them appear? All Iraqi oil is being sold by Iraqis, for a profit. Almost none to the USA. Of the 150 +- US military people that I know probably 3 or 4 percent could be pegged as stupid. Be educated, not indoctrinated. Again name a superior country. Better yet name your country. Probably I have been there, and would enjoy pointing out some of it’s weakness.

If you remember correctly you'll find that your blood is european, new orleans ?? i wonder where that came from . . . . FRANCE MAYBE ?

americans were lucky enough to be given the amazing gift of english. and seeing you slaughtering it is making me cry quite frankly

Americans are stupid.

Don't they teach you how to spell and use proper grammer wherever you live? Aint? Dnt?

seriously its just internet, the place for proper grammer and punctuation is in work.

You sound like you think everybody in the world speaks in english ? .. I hope you are not that stupid

they should speak english. it is a pretty language

right i am sorry to tell you that english is not a pretty language, it is a germanic language and sounds very similar to german. so unless you think german is a 'pretty' language, then english is not either. and saying that everyone should speak english, f cking come on...are you joking?

No, we expect them at least to know the basics if they speak in English, just like the rest of the world expects us to know the basics of their language.

oh my god you're an idiot. have you ever tried learning another language? its hard, and english is a difficult language. at least this person has had the initiative to bother to learn a second language. how many languages can you speak? i bet most people in the world can speak english better than you can speak a second language. putain d'imbecile!

at least he knows how to speak a second language .. how many languages can u speak ? .. 1 ? ,, english ? ,, barely

it's grammar you dumbass, not grammEr. Funny when somebody tries to be a smartass and then F**ks up himself

Grammer, n: a person occupied with grammar! :)
(Well, at least it would've been fun if it was, imho. ;))

all of us are this stupid. and its a lie that 90% of the major inventions and innovations came from america. the americans didnt walk on the moon. the americans didnt win the cold war. the americans didnt bail europe out in both world wars. the americans didnt create Windows or Mac. its not true that 90% of the world uses google or yahoo for their search engine. we are all blithering idiot minorities. Now just throw away anything that was conceived, made, designed or otherwise was generated in america, thank you very much for listening. btw Jay Leno of the Tonight show has a segment called Jay Walking that demonstrates the same as this video..cause we do have some dumb sobs

Won ... the cold war? now how is that possible

yea and did you know that americans invented, light bulb, telegraph, telephone, car, artificial heart, sewing machine, computer (if you dont believe me about the computer go here Cotton gin, glasses, train/locomotive, airplane, Refrigerator, printing press, burglar alarm, typewriter, motorcycle, barbed wire, toilet paper, subway, blue jeans, hearing aid, fan, camera, A/C, windshield wiper, oven, microwave, cell phones, calculator, internet. so dont even get me started that america didnt invent anything if america was in this world we wouldnt even be having this argument.

but you do know that the rocket the USA used to fly to the moon was build by Werner von Braun based on the V2... a german.
and you do know that the PC was invented by a german called Konrad Zuse...
nuclear fission was discovered by Otto Hahn a german...
the first car was bild by Daimler a german ...
the first programmer was ada lovelace a british woman...
so from which innovations are you talking about....

Some of the V-2 rockets mane it all the way to London. NASA made it to the moon and back. The US took Braun’s idea; and made both the bomb, and nuclear power. Daimler made a car. Ford made them affordable. The original science behind stealth aircraft came from the USSR. The US made it fly. Original thought is one of the rarest commodities on earth. To say all original thought comes from the US would be a big mistake. As would saying that America is a stupid country.

yea and did you know that americans invented, light bulb, telegraph, telephone, car, artificial heart, sewing machine, computer Cotton gin, glasses, train/locomotive, airplane, Refrigerator, printing press, burglar alarm, typewriter, motorcycle, barbed wire, toilet paper, subway, blue jeans, hearing aid, fan, camera, A/C, windshield wiper, oven, microwave, cell phones, calculator, internet. so dont even get me started that america didnt invent anything if america was in this world we wouldnt even be having this argument.

the U.S. didn't win the cold war. noone did, as, u see, we're still alive :) and alot of the good stuff comes from other parts of the world (CD is invented by Philips, dutch company, magnetic tape for audio/video casettes is invented by JVC, Japan, insuline and peniciline were invented by a romanian doctor, and so on). but I totally agree with El Greco above, this is only an edit of the answers they got, in my country too there are alot of people that don't know where New Zeeland is.

The USSR collapsed. Most of the former Eastern Block countries now belong to NATO. . By definition that means NATO won. Sorry.

Im glad Im not the only person here that gets it. You have to be careful with sarcasm here, we are talking to an audience with some seriously dumb people in it. see my other somments on this list.

Corect again.

dont pretened like you guys produce S**t , U just have the money and that is cuz this country has a good geographical spot on earth. Everything you sell is made in china or india or turkey or indonesia etc...

Windows mac ? ,, they are all coded in india by INDIANS !

Google yahoo ? .. so you think people who work in that company are all americans

by the way the video is about u guys ignorance not intelligence .. (like there is any)

sorry for bad english

Windows was invented by F**king BILL GATES. you are the most ignorant person to survive birth if you think he wasn't american. Steve Jobs and 2 other people started Apple computer company they were all born in AMERICA.
Google and yahoo: all americans? ofcourse not but does that make it a non-american company? absolutely not! The americans did the smart work like inventing the S**t while the asians just assemble(build) it.

So no, we dont really produce much but we invent a hell of a lot more. what is more intelligent, inventing personal computers or sticking two parts together again and again in an assembly line. Think it through.

You're an idiot who misreads EVERYTHING. See my response above. I hope more people put you in your place and teach you to think more expansively. You're one to talk about ignorance and intelligence. Who's the more ignorant of the two of us?

Grow up. We know what's what.

Is sucessfull because of freedom of thought, speach, religeon, opertunity, and the right to hold property. Geography has nothing to do with it. Less free society is good at more mondane, wrote, tasks.

Sometimes, I find this nationalism of yours a little cute... Most of the time, though, I just find it plain terrifying.
Believe me, both stupidity and enlightenment goes beyond country borders. However, being over confident about your country often leads to ignorance outwards, effectively increasing "the unenlightenment of the many", so to say. And that, in turn, can lead to very frightening results.

Don’t feel to bad! The simple often fear what they can’t understand!

(And the word I searched for there was "across", not "beyond". I blame it on not having English as my first language. ;))

erm . . . a circle

A circle doesn't have any sides!!!!

I think that can be debated becuase if it didn't have a side then what would make it solid and round. if it's a solid ball it has one side(the out side) and if hallow it has two sides(inside and outside).

thats what i believe - this video wouldn't have had such an impact if there were majority correct answers, and if u think about it there are people like those people in every country and seeing as there is such a large population in America your bound to find a few in one place.

did you beat them? no
therefore, did you win? no

lol! can you say eugenics?
nice plan hitler

Hitler adopted his human genetic theories from one of the predecessors of planed parenthood. There were a number of significant differences. The American version proposed sterilization, and A******n of unwanted races. Nazi’s had there final solution. Thank God the American version never became public policy.

'we still can invade you. so laugh about that'

thats so f ckin stupid i don't even know where to start

The inelegance American troops only amplifies your ignorance!

mate that sentence doesn't even make any sense

Should be: intelligence of the American troops.

what intelligence?

Your obvious inference is, the US Military is unintelligent. This leads me to contemplate the origins of your prejudice. Did this poorly edited video convince you, that all Americans are dense? Was a Marxist indoctrination, at an institution of “higher learning” the culprit? Possibly a leftist Media was the perpetrator? No matter really, Your bias has obviously dampened your intellect.

no, by saying 'the intelligence of the american troups...' this implies that you are referring to some some evidence does it not? i have seen no evidence referred to one way or the other, so i was just pointing out that this is not a valid arguement.

Makaveli2007 is an anti-American Muslim. You would have deduced he wanted to have a laugh the US Military. That is if you had read the whole conversation.

i did read it. that really doesnt have any impact on my point.

and by the way what the f ck does marxism have to do with prejudice against america?

Marxism, Islam, and the pseudo intellectualism, are common homes of Anti Americanism.

Mabe we arn't the most stupid. Where did you say you were from?

"You know why its called the "down Under"? 'Cause it's the closes to hell you can get"

errrrr ok great arguement, makes perfect sense. have you ever actually been to australia? have you ever left america?

As much as it pains me to agree. Australia is a great place. Nothing like Hell. Great people, good food, lots of biodiversity. Exquisite sea life.

they call it the down under because long time ago they used to send criminals to Australia

in 1770, James Cook sailed along and mapped the east coast of Australia, which he named New South Wales and claimed for Great Britain. The expedition's discoveries provided impetus for the establishment of a penal colony there. a penal colony is where they keep prisoners

That's not fair. I was born and bred in the South, and I am highly educated and articulate - as are all of my friends. I have a great deal of family in Yankee states, and I can tell you that there are idiots everywhere. If you're going to defend American intelligence, why don't you show some yourself and not condemn half the country's territory for idiots? ;)

newsflash einstein, this is an australian video and i'm sorry to inform you that australia is actually not in europe
