Ignorant Americans



My question would be why would I take the time to know such things. My rule is if I can look it up I don't bother memorizing. Do I really need to know where england is? Or who mendela is? I don't think so. Do Brits need to know who Betsy Ross is? Or where Indiana is? I don't think so.

LOL best post of the month.

You need to know where England is because if you don't know then you're a fucking dumbass.

This truly epitomizes the title of this thread.

If you have no idea where in the world England is I sincerely doubt you'll ever become a successful entrepreneur. And if you don't know who Mandela is, well you're just a fucking idiot.


Thank goodness amercians aren't smarter they'd be much harder to sell to.

^^ This.

There are so many vids like this on YouTube that blow my mind.. Is it shocking to you American guys that they don't know this stuff? Obv these can't be the avg person?

actually, you're the moron for believing that this video is an accurate representation of people in America.

I could take a camera and interview people in any country in the world and with a little work I could find several people who don't know some basic answers to questions, edit it together and put it on Youtube titled "(Insert Country Name) People are Idiots"

Yep. Fuck! Someone should do this and make a compilation saying the world is stupid! It will be fucking easy as hell.
 
I for one only know what I need to and I don't spend my time researching shit about England or any other country for that matter. Now if I were to travel to that said country I might memorize some basic facts just for the hell of it, but as it stands I don't see why I'd EVER need to know who the queen of England is. There's a difference between being a dumb shit and just not caring enough to memorize pointless facts. If you don't know how many feet are in a meter or how many inches are in a foot, you're a dumb shit and should be ashamed of yourself. If you don't know who the queen of England is (so long as you're not living there!), you probably just don't give a fuck.
 
I don't know who the queen of england is. Is she important? Oh wait, not at all.

Weird, last time I checked the US was a superpower, and the UK was our bitch.


1. "The video ^^ he did previously he was showing a picture of Nelson Mandela and virtually nobody could identify him, this blew my mind. If you showed that around an avg secondary school (12-17) in the UK I think atleast 90% would be able to identify him"

That's fucking awesome man, thanks for the estimate. Feel free to post the results of your survey with video footage. Hopefully we can understand the dirty british street rats

2. "How can people not know where England is on a map? LOL. It's incredible."

Because England is probably the shittiest country in europe, the way you speak is annoying as fuck. No one likes you and you have terrible teeth. I've got more respect for canada.

Enjoy the 24 hour government surveillance in your shitty country.

3. "Not trying to offend people, there are idiots in every country it just seems that when it comes to wordly knowledge USA are really far below the curve"

You WERE trying to offend people, what makes you believe that the "USA are really far below the curve", fyi typically its "ahead of the curve" and "behind the curve" but idk your countries language is retarded.

Explain how we are "below the curve" the USA is literally better than the UK in every single way, people here are literally bigger, faster, stronger and smarter than brits.

Sigh, Jealousy.

It's not like I spend time researching England, but I somehow know what their currency is, who the queen is, where the beatles come from and where to find it on a map. It's not exactly rocket science. I don't get how you can NOT know these things. You need to get out from under that rock.
 
could very well just the same form the opposite argument by splicing together a bunch of clips from Cash Cab and you'd think most Americans were pretty damn smart.
 
It's only because US is the most modernized nation in the world and has more access to the internet and video cameras. Just be assured that if the country you're from was a little more ahead of the curve, we'd see a lot more videos of ugly hairy toothless citizens who don't know anything either. ;)

Argumentum ad populum, just because other country's citizens are retards doesn't make it ok for us to be retards.

America has some great things to it, but also has some bad things to it. I never get the people who when faced with criticism over X, advocate to how well Y is. Yes, america needs better education, if less americans were retardedly patriotic, it would likely improve.

Thank goodness amercians aren't smarter they'd be much harder to sell to.

This x 1000.
