Are we a nation of idiots!?

We are an immature, narcissistic, selfish, inconsiderate thoughtless nation.  We like to believe that we are the best, that our way is the right way, we are unwilling to try and understand other nationalities, it's all very sad.

cgalloway1973 is right, I'm British, and believe that we are just as capable as the Americans. BTW, to the guy who mentioned that we were (supposedly) kicked out of every country we conquered, you're wrong! It's true that we were kicked out of a few of the Nations, but we decided to give most of them back by free will alone! This inter-nation rivalry has to stop, WE'RE ON THE SAME BL**DY SIDE!!! That saying, "all the gear, but no Idea" is just a bit of friendly banter, but there are a few people here who take it too far.

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.

It's not so much that they think we are idiots, it's more a case of they are in control and there is nothing we can do about it.  Pity we can't stop their wages isnt it, if it was one of the public doing the things they do you would be out on your a** so quick!

I think some people are ignorant, period.  Regardless of nationality.  And by the way, what makes you such an expert?

Who told you that America is a great nation? Other than military power there is not a single aspect in which another country doesn't surpass America. It is a country of excesses, full of idiots and ruled by a few evil but intelligent people.\nIt is not surprising that those few smart (but still evil) people can easily make the fools believe whatever they want to.

Sin, there are idiots everywhere. Think of the bell curve (for intelligence).\n\nThis moron will get his 15 minutes of fame, and will never be elected.\n\nI am shaking my head. There will be other idiots who support this cr*p, but not many.\n\nI'd suggest not wasting any of your precious time worrying about it.\n\nMake sure, next election, that you are registered (don't know if you are, or not), and get out and VOTE!\n\n****\n\nP.S. Just for the record, I live in Ohio. We are not ALL cretins.
