Your reasoning is impeccable. There must be more Americans that are stupid than anyone else because you've seen more of them. I don't know how anyone could find that ignorant at all.
Holy s'hit dude, are you looking for an argument or do you just lack reading comprehension? I neither said that there were more stupid Americans than foreigners nor did I say that there are not stupid foreigners out there. It wouldn't be reasonable for me to comment on people with whom I do not interact. You know what, you're right. I should've said that there are some stupid Americans and also stupid foreigners. Let me just throw all those foreigners that I don't interact with into one group and label them as stupid. That's not ignorant.

Lol. I never said I was or was not stupid and I wasn't trying to "arrogantly presume" that I was smarter than all my fellow Americans. My intelligence does not matter in this discussion, I am talking about parts of the American public, not CrazyForDex vs. The American Public. Just because I find some of their opinions retarded and don't understand why they lack a brain stem doesn't mean that I feel I am smarter than every single American. Why the f'uck would anyone openly say "Well some Americans are stupid, but I'm a moron so it's alright." I'm so sorry I find some people in my country stupid.
Corn Wrote:I guess it just ticks me off that CrazyForDex is proclaiming that Americans are dumb because like honestly, we're not that stupid. We have our fair share of dumb people but it's hugely overestimated because dumb people get more media attention than smart people.
You know what Corn, what ticks me off is that I said a simple statement and you blew it out of proportion. I guess it is wrong of me to mention that we have stupid people in our country. A country is only as smart as the group of its least intelligent citizens, those that are left behind by the education system. Likewise, a fleet is only as fast as its slowest ship. When we have people go on the news and say dumbs'hit things, it makes us all look stupid. Why do you think America is disliked by the international community? Because there is a decent percentage of the population who is dumb as a sack of potatoes. (Also our foreign policy decisions, but that's another matter).
Everyone is entitled to their opinion on things and mine just happens to be that there are a lot of stupid people in the United States. There are also a lot of smart people in the United States. I happen to be in college right now and there are plently of smart people, but there are also plently of stupid people.
