Are you guys really that dumb?

that was funny but please do remenber that does not represent the whole of the USA well i hope not

 btw im from england not all of us in this forum are american

hahaha I love that show 

If you're going to bring an elitist attitude and insult an entire country, the leas you could do was present an actual argument instead of just post link. But perhaps your links are substantive summations of your feelings? Oh wait no, they're alarmist videos that are heavily edited and wrought with selection bias.MarkSmith

No need to take thsoe videos seriously. There just clips from a comedy show.

Good, I'm not the only one walking around thinking that these people are stupid.

Though the "Name a country that starts with 'U' was kinda a trick". I was thnking Uruguay or Uganda. Didn't even think about United States and I freaking live here.

 I don't know why people see knowledge as indicative of intelligence. Ignorance is not at all a reflection of how smart someone is, it just shows how well read or educated they are.

  That video proves nothing.

Great show, but you are INSANE to think it holds any evidence about anything at all. It's a comedy show, buddy.wrlyy

I know people who are that dumb. It's not the norm though.  

Read about Chamberlain and "Peace in our time" then talk to me about screw ups...

EDIT: I realized I just used the cliche WW2 American debate in the cliche unrelated way lol :P

Knowledge and intelligence are two different things.

   Smarts had nothing to do with you or your friends coming upon that information.  You read it, learned it from word of mouth, in school or something similar.  Intelligence is how you use information, not what you know.  They do not say anything about each other.

Computers can store all the information known to man.  Does that make it the most intelligent thing on earth?  On the contrary, it is clueless.

Honestly, 90% of the world population is "dumb" or "just don't care" and why should they? They get on with their lives, they survive and that's it. It's been like that forever. Only a handful of individuals control everything or "care" about everything. But then, they just die like everyone else and 99% of the time no one would care. You, topic creator are the dumbest person here for not realizing the fact that people don't need to know what's going on in the world or where this and that is located to be intelligent, people are intelligent to the extend that would make them "happy" and I see them alive, healthy and dressed. I guess they are not that dumb.

Now I'll reduce myself to your dumbness because sometimes that's funny.

And what happens when a country doesn't know their candidates? They get this Dumb Laws:

A life sentence is 25 years.

Children may not purchase cigarettes, but they may smoke them.

You may never leave your car keys in an unattended vehicle.

It is illegal to roam the streets wearing black clothes, felt shoes and black shoe polish on your face as these items are the tools of a cat burgular.

It is illegal to walk on the right hand side of a footpath.

Under Australian Communications Authority (ACA) regulations, a modem can't pick up on the first ring.

Taxi cabs are required to carry a bale of hay in the trunk.

Bars are required to stable, water and feed the horses of their patrons.

The legal age for straight sex is 16, unless the person is in the care/custody of the older person, in which case it is 18.

Only licensed electricians may change a light bulb.

It is illegal to wear hot pink pants after midday Sunday.

You must have a neck to knee swimsuit in order to swim at Brighton Beach.

Until the Port Arthur Killings it was legal to own an AK-47 but not legal to be gay

Lawmakers are proposing a new law that will not allow anyone to come closer than 100 meters from a dead whale's carcass.

Now are you guys really that dumb? 

Here's a true story. I once asked my highschool friend who his favorite president was, and he said Benjamin Franklin.

He was dead serious. He also couldn't correctly identify when the year the war of 1812 was.

That's true.  Probably because the smarter a person is, the more curious they are about things and therefor are better read and educated.

Of course we are. That's why the US didn't invent most modern technology.guynamedbilly

 But then again, the US dominates the ones that did.

The point of the videos are to demonstrate that confused people are everywhere. And even more when you stick a camera and a mic to their faces. They try to act really smart, but they get nervous and too afraid to admit they don't know the answers. And admitting that "you don't know" puts you on the path of the really intelligent persons. And most of you, like the TC act like you know everything.
