Wow. I feel dumb just from watching that. You know why that is? It's as Nate says that was just a bunch of clever editing. I'll be the first to admit there are terribly stupid and ignorant people in our country, but for you to make a correlation between that and the overall intelligence of the people of the United States of America makes me quite frustrated to be honest.

One, I didn't see anyone shown that answered any of those questions correctly. Why does that matter? Well, for one I'm American and not a super "brain" and I answered almost every one of those questions right. I just saw no attempt to make the argument solid by including random samples of those who could actually show some intelligence and answer these simple minded questions. They are no brainer questions, come on. He most likely stayed in one area full of the same type of people and yes I will say that most of those people are the hicks and rednecks of America who will eat up anything that is told to them. "Bomb the ****ers in the Middle East into a crater" that was just embarassing and yes I won't defend those people.

Do I agree that there are a lot of stupid people in America? Oh yes, I do I have seen plenty of them in my years, but I also know that over half the population of my hometown could have answered any one of those questions right.

I normally don't get fired up at this stuff and since this was a mockery for fun etc showing dumb people in America I laughed. However, the argument that this proves that America is stupid as a whole!? Sure that's not the original argument it is more of an implication (majority rule of course). You've forgotten the number one rule, correlation does not equal causation. A random sampling is good in terms of study and proving your point, but without actual quality data representing all sides (results), anargument has no logical basis.

It's no personal attack on you Havoc by the way. I won't pretend to know your reason other than maybe proving that the U.S. is dumb. Point taken I also reread your first post and say the disclaimer of not all which is appreciated. I'm just saying the argument has no real logical basis besides showing that there are stupid people in America (which was already known). I share the sentiment instead that there are dumb people all throughout the world oblivious to anything beyond their own little bubble. Idiocy is not one trait exclusive to the United States we are not something special it's a trait that seems to show up in the human race for all people.

Cheers.
