I am forever leaving my country.

I'm a part of that 1/3 sorry!

Goddamn attention seeking statisticians. Surely this headline should be "1/3 of Brits have sense of humour when filling in survey forms they don't care about"?

And that would be the sort of country I want to live in. As compared, you know, to a country where the head of the BNP is so popular that people recognise him instantly.

Still not as funny as the "Women's Suffrage" poll over here and among many many others.

We have this;


We win.

So you want to leave a country because people confuse the first name of the leader of a political party they want nothing to do with?

It seems rather likely that when asked the name of the leader of the BNP, they know it's 'Something Griffin', and assuming the same people don't watch 'Family Guy' but have heard the name of the main character, they guess that the two are the same.

I'd think the fact that people in this country waste their time conducting surveys like this is a better excuse for leaving it.

Anyway, it's not like you have anywhere better to go (sorry America; I come from a country so racist we have a BNP).

So, tell me. What exactly are you trying to say with this video that you posted? What purpose does it serve other than to give you a feeling of false security in the mental superiority of your own nation? Do you think that I would get different results if I did this in England? I wouldn't. Because I would do the same thing that these people did. Edit out the intelligent responses.

I've never even heard of Katia Inavova. I'm ashamed to admit that I feel a little proud of that.

Every country has it's morons. There's really nowhere you could go to escape them. There's no denying there's more idiots in America than most places, but there's also a much bigger population which makes for a bigger idiot ratio.

I think a combination of our media, pride, and crappy educational system is the culprit. Americans don't feel the need to be intelligent or productive because so many things in this country glorify the "average joe", resulting in more and more below-average joes.

I don't agree with that, either. Every industrial country has a pretty even percentage of uneducated people.

I don't understand how any country could have more people of below average intelligence than any other countries.

If you notice, I intentionally stayed away from that and went with "uneducated".

We do have people that moronic in England; it's just they tend to spend all their time in front of a TV or microwave or in a bar instead of out on the streets.

In what way have you qualified that statement?

I live in Australia and they're all fucking dumb here.

Let's just agree that everyone everywhere is stupid.

I'll agree to that.

fuck sake, Splat. i honestly never know where i stand with you. i would be classed as part of the 'stupid people' percentage seeing as i only received 1 GCSE at the end of school, and went on to get another fairly easy qualification at farming college. and yet, i don't sit in front of the TV all day, stuff my face with microwave meals or sit in the pub constantly, i fucking work for a living. you should try it one day, you fucking pretentious, judgemental, moronic cunt. and don't come back in here preaching about how you've done plenty of charity/volunteer work, because i have too, therefore i get a say in this. you aren't above me or anyone else for that matter. fuck you. really this time. that was a careless statement on your behalf, so don't suggest i'm overreacting, because its been pissing me off for a while now.

and balls to all this 'below average intelligence' shit, it sounds like a nutcase search for a superior society. different professions suit different people. i mean, i don't intend to generalize, but i'm willing to bet that a great number of respected people in modern society, like surgeons, philosophers and what have you, don't even know how to change a car tyre. we're all level, there is no superiority unless it is to retain order. intelligence has nothing to do with being 'better' than someone.

apologies for the rant, but that one comment really got deep under my skin. and i heavily agree with Nate's first post. exactly what i was thinking.

Also, many proclaimed geniuses never got any qualifications - they were largely misunderstood. Albert Einstein's parents thought he was retarded, his teacher just thought he was an idiot.
