The exact same reason why their smarter than we are. It's their culture. For many Americans, more than enough, our culture is believing that we have to spend $2000 on the new Gucci purse to look cool, but being smart and understanding how to make life easier is simply the Eastern way of living. We're molded to believe that everything matters on the outside, they're molded viewing life as art and understanding. And, no, Japanese aren't taking the American ideas it's the exact opposite. The Americans are trying to invade every freaking country that they can to stay above everyone else. If America didn't invest in other countries, then trust me, we'd be a 3rd. world country too. (And the Europeans basically came up with everything, if you look at, although he was a horrible person, all the Hitler did for medicine and technology.)And dude below, this isn't an opinion. THIS IS THE TRUTH! This is based on statistical studies and cultural understanding. I have many Asian friends that can't possibly believe it when they see blonde Betti, for instance, asking questions that they've known since forever. It's their tradition. Being smart and creating technology, in which technology is simply any tool to make life easier, is how they live. What the hell are you talking about opinion? This is how it goes, and obviously you're too sad to admit. Who doesn't know that Westerns are nearly naturally, if they follow their traditions, that Easterns?

I have to agree that Dr. Stephen Hawkins is probably the smartest person in the world, at least of people who base themselves around one subject.\n\nAs far as that reporter goes, she may have the highest IQ ever recorded, but the IQ level isn't the only way to judge someone's smarts.  All it means is that she can (probably) learn things quicker than most other people on the planet.\n\nSo, in conclusion, I am da smartest-ist person in da hole wyde worldses.

That is the general opinion all over the world at the moment, but the truth of the matter is that Americans are no less educated than any one else in any other country.  I pinpoint the blame on the examples you pointed out as mere cases of general human stupidity.  And unfortunately for most, the stupid people are often the most vocal.  I think it's safe to say that Americans are no less intelligent that any other country's population, as idiocy is a general characteristic of humanity that is non-specific to any group of people.  America's stupids are just more vocal, and Americans are a huge news topic at the moment, so there is this sudden wave of "Look at America".  This causes people to look at what idiots in our country are doing and forget that they have morons in their country as well.  Education in America is fine.  People are just dumb.

"Clever" is an opinion. There's no real right and wrong when it comes to opinions. :)

Ill just remove my toungue from my cheek while is answer this.  Looking at the other answers i think you have proved your point.  Obvoisley no one has read the question properly, or understood the tone which you set it in!  Most people will either say "hell yeah!" or "im ameican and im not stupid" etc.  \nso i think that most americans on here have a degree of stupidty becuase they have no grasp of irony, and no humour when it comes to laughing at themselves.  Although they are nice people i agree, generally.
