here we have a guy inquiring an entire nation stupid because of a conversation with a single person. surely you aren't proclaiming yourself knowledgable in turn.

it's: "my parents and I", smartypants. :)

The woman leaned over to me and said "where do you come from young man?" in a friendly tone, to which i replied
"Australia".
"Ooow, she said, i've never been there. it must be very nice there."
"It is." i said.
She gave a thoughtful look. "Do you see the moon in Australia?"
"No, this is the first time i've seen it, in Paris." i replied.
"Ooow really, we see it every night back home."

She's never been to australia. you have. People are quick to label someone "stupid" who does not share the same knowledge as them.

You also noted she was friendly. She was trusting in what you had to say to her. Her "trust" is your label for "stupid". How sad.

You wouldn't know certain things about america if you've never been there. Does that make you stupid for not being educated about it previously? No.

I'll never ever forget that. It is like my most memorable memory. (too anyone who doesn't know, people in Australia, as well as the rest of the world, DO see the moon).

I was just wondering, becasue in Australia there is currently a parody show called "CNNNN" which will sometimes interview some American citizens. some of the questions they asked were "where is the Berling Wall" and "How many Eifel towers are there?", they got answers like, "Russia", and "10". Another question was "What do you think about Australia" the anwser was something similar to "they're all bluddy terroists aint they?"

American language does not commonly embrace the use of the term "bluddy" or "bloody" as an adjective. That's most likely not an american you were watching.

I also hear that in some states of the USA it is Illigal to teach Darwin's "theory of evolution".

Are some people in the US really this ignorent and stupid? Because i find it hard to belive!
Is that show being selective, or is a percentage of the populus really like that!

There are many people out there who are not well educated. You can interview any country's populous and make them all look dumb as doorknobs - if you edit the right footage.

Not so sure about Dawin's theories being banned in any state. That's an interesting one. I'd find it surprising if this is true!

that is soooo true americans dont have a clue what goes on outside their country (well the majority dont)

Hey, how much do you know about America? I'd be willing to guess jack shit. It's a lot easier to know the country you live in, and focus on what's immediately around you. When I worked in retail I dreaded helping non-Americans who came into my store, because not only did they come across as rock-stupid, they were always rude and stunk like shit (here in America we have this funny little habit of bathing every day, instead of once a month), regardless of whatever wonderful country they came from.

I'm not saying America's the greatest country in the world, or that everyone here is a genius, I'm just saying your country isn't any better. You just happen to live there.

Well that's the truth.

Ahhhh I love sweeping generalisations.

lol...some are not all but the "do you see the moon in austrailia" (sorry bad spelling) reminds me of when i went to colorado for vaction and met a bunch of kids about 15/16 years old from california. Of course they had to ask where abouts i was from so i told them then they were like...Does canada have soccer?Do you guys swim up there... I was thinking man somepeople are so ignorent. I think the presedent of the US should make it so they actualy learn about Canada and other countries. Another thing is..well my grampa owns a towing business and this guy from California comes and its winter , so like most dumb drivershe ends up in the ditch. when my granddad came to tow his peice the guy asked if there was any places to stay. So my Grandpa told him and one of the suggestions was the bar and the guy was like " YOU GUYS HAVE BARS UP HERE!! wow first i find out you guys actualy live in houses instead of igloos and now this!"...i think it may just be the majority of california who doesnt have a clue about anything. The guy also asked my grandpa how our tires last in the snow all year round...my grandpa told him that someof us use chains, spike or we use dog sled and skido....lol way to go grandpa mush the guys uneducated mind somemore...lol

P.S: like i said before... not all are that stupid but 755 of them probly are.

I remember being asked by an American down south if this was the first time I've been in the sun. Sounds like a similar question.

very simular...lol

Wow.
This is the perfect thread to recruit new members for my club.
To answer the question, there are morons in every country, if you need proof just look at the current leaders of Canada and the US. I believe that they are a minority, it just seems like they make up an overwhelming percentage of the populace because geniouses such as myself (no bullshit, my IQ is 147) tend to keep to ourselves lest we be unfairly judged by the ignorant morons. We have better things to do than to enter into pointless arguments that never end.

Yes americans are really that dumb. We focus more on saying things like, "LOL, WE HAVE BIGGER WEAPONS" instead of education.

you have a point there..but still most people who actualy take time to learn about other countries are the smart ones...im not braging cause there are still many things i dont know..but its not that bad.

Well, you can't teach it, because it contradicts some people's religion. And to say to kids, "You're religion is a big pile of shit according to Darwin" isn't very enlightening. They can speak of it and explain it, but schools cannot teach it as a fact and/or teach lessons that have right or wrong answers that work entirely round the theory. Because, if the question was "Where did all living things come from?" the school's answer would be "Microscopic Single Celled organisms" whereas the religious answer would be "God" or something. Plus, most parents don't want them to teach Darwin's theory of evolution since it was voted on whether or not they should be able to teach it by parents themselves. Not all Americans are stupid, but there's a great deal of idiots who have their government think for them and have no clue what the words "physical" and "work" mean.

Haha. Damn anti-American. That's just silly. George Bush doesn't say "LOL". Get it right you damned Clock!

Yes. For instance, I'm from America. And... ... ..... ........ .... .... *Cough*

I think the problem with many Americans is that we get too dependent on our government so we aren't prepared for problems. Also, because of the government giving welfare to the homeless and jobless, the idiots and lazy people don't need to worry. America is like a parent that shields it's kids from the rest of the world so that when any trouble happens, mom takes care of it. But, when they leave the house, they have no idea what to do. Has this made any sense?

Yes they are. I was on a chat site with a fellow canadian and a texan. We were making fun of her saying there was ten feet of snow where we lived. I think there is something in there water, or the flew shot.

In canada we have a show (not on anymore) called talking to americans. It sounds similar to CNNNN

No, but he does say things like, "My enemies misunderestimate me. And doesn't know the difference between "Hostage and Hostile". Also, lets not forget that the man nearly choked to death on a pretzel.

dont forget the american's stupidity when it comes to CANADA. well, how many tv shows have we seen that show Canada to be a snowy forest-like nowhere with a couple of buildings? How many shows have we seen where they depict Canada as some place that is full of inuit people in igloos? If Canada cared about world dominance as much as America (George Bush, reincarnation of Hitler?) then we could spend our money on our military and make a large army and we would be the most dominant country in the world. Why dont we you ask? Because we DONT CARE! it doesnt matter! Americans need Canada just as much as we need them, and the only reason we need them is for protection , but like i said, if we wanted to all we hafta do is make a large army. Where does America (and every other country) go to for technological improvements? Canada, because we are the worlds most technologically advanced country. Canada rocks, nuff said.

I can go on vacation if I fucking please. I mean...just because you want to visit another country, doesn't make you ignorant or something. It'd be cool to go to australia. Really...I'd only wanna stay near the coast though...or like, go on my own safari without a guide. That'd be fun.
