Are americans stupid?

[I AM]

The same problems have been around since the invention of our country.

Then again, most countries have problems...the US is just highlighted cause we have the village retard as our president....

You should talk to people from the US, rather than relying on reports and studies...real experience will give you more info that any paper.

Some Americans are pieces of shit, and some aren't. I don't consider myself American, I just AM....hense my name. I don't fuck with labels, as there are sterotypes along with every label. Others can label me, but I do my best to refuse labeling myself as anything. If others wanna judge, let them....most of them are "Christian" anyway, in my experience, or shall I say, they SAY they are Christian...but that's another topic.

yeah, I'm talking with real americans every day, and they're real americans with above the average inteligence, and unfortunately my conclusion is the stereotypes aren't exaggerated at all...

don't get me wrong, people in other countries don't know much more about the rest of the world than most americans, but it is nowhere as drastic as here, and it is even more disturbing considering the access to information they have...

I can understand why somebody living in a small village somewhere in Mali who has never seen a book or a computer in his life is ignorant but there is no excuse for having all these opportunities to learn and yet being so dumb

I agree. People are lazy. They are fed the news by massive corporations that own most stations in the market.

I got some wild stats about media convergence in the US, and how it's fucked it up...but it's in some notes from class....basically, there are 6 companies that own all the major and I mean MAJOR networks...they make MORE money than the next 51 companies COMBINED.

That's what you get when you have capitalism and deregulation by Reagan's piece of shit ass. Yay for money, fuck the people. That's the motto of the US.
