Are all americans this retared, or just ones on this video.

Are you American?
Is there anything you can say to defend this?
Can you answer all those questions?

The people in this video are total retards, and this is, rightly or not, the general view I have of America.

Most of the Americans I 'know' are smarter than this, As are most of you, but  still, this is bad.

I know they probably asked a lot of people, and many will have known a lot of the answers, but this is still abysmal for a country that claims to be first-world, and have a good education system. Can these people even read?

Question: What state is KFC from?
Moron: Dunno.
Question: Do you know what KFC stands for?
Moron: Kentucky fried chicken.

WTF?? How can anyone be this dumb, and have not got a Darwin award by now?

I'm sorry if you think this is a anti-American rant, but it is.

No its not just you they are really stupid. I tried to answer the questions and I got most of them right. And I don't think anyone can say that those people aren't stupid....because they are.


Oh to answer your questions:
Are you American?  Sadly, yes

Is there anything you can say to defend this?                                                   No, most of America is stupid, I'm not. Most people are stupid.

Can you answer all those questions?                                                           I got all correct. And those people are a lot older than me. What retards.

Thats the United States of Retards for you.

Oh did I mention THEY ARE RETARTED!!!!
HHHH, You Shot Me...But Im on your Team

They didn't mean where the chicken was from, but where the brands KFC started.

sadly I doubt it is a fake.

I have seen evidence in many prestigious journals proving the 2004 election was rigged. If any vote in England is rigged, I will be outside the houses of Parliament with a banner, as I would like to think a great many other people would be. The reason for this is we have a free media.  Everyone in the world knows the election was rigged, bar Americans. You may not be a moron, but if you never use your brain, whats the difference?
You live in a dictatorship pretending to be a democracy, and the Medea is too scared/dumb to write about it.  You live in a restarted country, and by plainly refusing to care, you to are retarded.

This is my opinion,  if you don't agree, then that's fine.  If you think less of me, then, that's fine.

You know, you could read what people says instead of staying blind and keep saying crap. I said i was French, so what you think about US doesn t concern me directly.

The thing is, i can believe someone dont know who is Kofi Annan is, i can believe someone dont know which are the "Axe of Evil" countries. However, i dont believe someone would have wrong on more than 2 questions like theses guys. And when the U.S. guy says California and New York are in the "Axe of Evil" i just laughed.

Also, the fact that you dont like the US President elected by a bit more than 50% of the Americans, doesnt mean 100% of the Americans like him.

I sometimes complain that many Frenchs are narrow-minded when it comes to US, but wow, you beat them all.

If you'll read what i said, I wasn't attacking America for having a stupid president, I was attacking them for not careing that the election was rigged.

Programmer testifying to U.S. House Judiciary Members that ha made working vote rigging software for the republicans.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_U.S._presidential_election_controversy_and_irregularities
Lots of information about irregularities, doesn't prove unconditional rigging, but show enough that any government with nothing to hide would have called a full public investigation.  The total lack of American media coverage speaks volumes about it.

[cheap shot] no david, not all americans are this stupid, only the ones in the red states [/cheap shot] on a more serious note, i have seen people do such stupid things that it made my jaw drop, and i'm slowly starting to think that americans deserve at least some of the bad reputation they have gotten. <disclamer>

Honestly it's like the news after a hurricane/tornado hit, Jeff Foxworthy said it best "They will put the dumbest person they can find on the air to represent us."

Some of these people are just sad.

Knowing what KFC stands for but won't guess KEntucky...
Guessing there's about 10 eiffel towers....
The guy who had to think longer than 30 seconds where the berlin wall is located
Guessing US states as members of the Axis of Evil.
The second woman giving the first womans answer.
BElieveing Star Wars was basewd on a true story. ( I want a light sabre dammit!)
The hippy reject who thought the first man on the moon was a reincarnation...(Lay off the drugs, this guy is living proof they cause brain damage)

These people are mighty sad, I mean, I answered just about every one of them correctly, except like 1 or 2 that I don't know. (13, 9th grade)
Anyways, at least I know KFX is from Kentucky and it stands for Kentucky Fried Chicken.
NOTE: That guy was right in front of the white house, maybe a protester, if so, he's an idiot.  :wink:

Yes, every country has its morons...but about 3 in every four americans is like that. Maybe stupid, but my word for it is ignorant. These people have what I call "tunnel vision". As long as they have their pretty house by the lake or whatever...they have no idea what the world's problems are or whats going on.
Of course the ones that didnt know how many Eiffel towers there are or what state KFC came from are just plain retarded.

Too bad I couldn't watch it - don't have flash installed (don't like those anoying adverts :wink: )
But I've seen a similar one about american children (in kindergarden I think) - they were shown photos/portraits of famous (very famous!) people and they only knew Ronald McDonald...

Wht I know about Americans is that their education is poor untill they go to universities... I heared (dunno if it's true) they are taught (on their history lessons) that for example Poland, as a country, originated in 1918... I was taught on my history lessons (I am from Poland :P ) that my country originated in 966.
Nothin' special - only 952 years less... :wink:

You know how many people they probably had to ask these questions to find these few that were so dense they couldn't answer them? You can always do something like this to portray a view and spark an opinion. You can find i'm sure 20 people that are in the USA who think USA stands for United States of Asia.... it happens no matter where you are, that doesn't mean that americans think they are in asia.. it means that you polled some morons... good job. This isn't america, its the world. People are fking stupid no matter where you go..

America has left its mark on the world.. Some good, some bad, but no matter how abusive or how kind.. it can't be pulled off souly by a bunch of idiots.

IMHO our school system is shit, but you learn quick that knowledge can be found outside of schools. A lot of kids these days are starting to get a bit mindless, but they still manage to grow up and for the most part do fine later in life.

We left beacons on the moon.. we fking landed on the mood.. martians did not place beacons that are visible by telescope on the moon.. stupid hippies.

@David
Retared?... do you mean... retarded? :p

@Dio
Grow up. If tomorrow there was a documentary saying america was in asia, and a few people who wanted to piss someone off said we were in asia I bet you'd think you were in asia.

@Dormedas
Protester = idiot?.. wtf

@DarkRogue :) lol.. show some kids in europe a few pictures and I bet you they will know who ronald mcdonald is as well.

I just saw the video.

 :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Please believe me, not all of us are that stupid.  An unfortunately large amount, yes, but certainly not all of us.

Oh, and our education system really isn't that great.

The children weren't that young :P . But I don't want to argue
What I meant whas that I just saw another similar movie, and I just wrote what that movie was about - thats all.

I know that stupid people are everywhere, and it does not depend on the nationality. In Poland we also have stupid people.
And our educational system is unfortunately also getting worse recently :( Fortunately I have the school already behind me :wink:
