haha daft nation woot woot!

[HalveBlue]

For Great Shame.

That's all I have to say about that.

You interview 20 people off the street anywhere and you'll have enough stupid answers to edit a piece like that together. While the level of education in the United States may not be up to par with other countries, I think it's safe to say most of us know how many sides a triangle has :P heheh

[Cash]

Yea, that video pissed me off. I'm with you zackt69, I'd love to know how many hundreds of people they had to interview to find those few ignorant people. Everyone loves to poke fun at our country for some reason. We seem to be doing alright relative to most other countries in the world.

[SiI40sx]

sooo did he interview people near a UC or near downtown Law Firms or did he interview people near the social services buildings?

[tacotacotaco]

Ill still say ive met some pretty daft people all around cali ive seen apt buildings with the curb spray painted maniger. Ive met High school grads who can't spell worth shit. Yes there are smart people in America but its just alarming considering we are a Top tier nation to how daft most of our citizens and *cough leaders are.

You can find anybody to "prove" pretty much any theory you want to.

I bet I could go to Australia and find just as many dumbasses.

[tacotacotaco]

But YES do that survey in any country and yes you will get the same if not worse answers

[TiNMAN]

[initialrt]

[mRclARK1]

Stupidity knows no borders... I've lived in the US and and (like now) elsewhere; you can find dumbasses and ignorant people worldwide.

[BOROSUN]

jezus, i knew most answers. it's definetly edited to make those ppl look stupid.

if you guys see a film crew like that asking stupid question. you should
follow them, interupting them and waste their film. in the background all you hear is "aussstralia SUCKS... MY BALLS SACK".
well, except for jaywalk. jay is funny.


btw you guys know that australia is a racist country, right.

[steve shadows]

can we have another war with them yet....

i mean anyone who honestly thinks that video was not edited...your a retard.

Send Jay Leno with a federal escort to south wales and I bet if you asked them what the capital of England was they would say Munich....f**k this. :-/

Really though I have travelled in the States alot. I have heard some pretty ignorant comments from Americans. Not everyone is ignorant, but there is enough to take note of.

[NemeGuero]

we still suck as far as public education goes..

[snatch13]

You interview 20 people off the street anywhere and you'll have enough stupid answers to edit a piece like that together.

Thats exactly right. You could go anywhere in the world and do that. Every country has their fair share of uneducated people.

I could care less what anyone in another country thinks about us as Americans, the fact is that we are still more powerful than any of them, which is why most of them hate us.

Its like the Yankees, unless you live in New York, you hate the Yankees cuz they are that good (well most of the time).

Yeah but Americans think that when they go to other countries too. There are plenty of idiots everywhere in the world.
