[QUOTE="PandaSlayer"]i am an American, and yes i do agree that most of us are dumb. i live in Maryland. ignorance in America is located down south, out far west and north in some parts. some people here are just really dumb. to me it's like all they care about is how charismatic the president is , if he supports war, and thats about it, if all of America was about as smart as some sates on the east coast(not trying to offend anyone there) we might have a different president. everyone here in America lives so comfortably here, we have fast food, nice houses, and cheap stuff. people are so comfortable and arrogant , that they think oh, were the best country in the world, and our presidents are always the best leaders, which isn't true.joeblak

Many Americans also put too much emphasis on religious issues.

It's kind of hard not to when your country is overwhelmingly Christian.
