Why Americans are dumb

On the acceptance of evolution, the US rates second last after Turkey. Thank God, Turks are dumber than we are!

It scares me that even here, we only get up to 60%. I wonder why that is, and who the target audience is.

That is mind boggling, the US should be in a higher position.

Pastor Ted may have looked like he's the devil himself to Dawkins.

Dammit...

I do have to wonder whether or not Hitchens was right in that these surveys are often either worded in a leading way or asked of people who "don't even know what it is that they don't believe in".

Thanks for the video!
Well that video sure answered the question doesn't. "Insanity in individuals is rare, but in groups it is the norm." When a person that is arrogant they make claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights, overbearingly assuming: insolently proud. The very picture of Pastor Ted. :roll: Solitary

It is pretty scary when you fall far below even countries like Romania and Bulgaria, which aren't exactly known for their universities.

Statistics couldn't possibly be skewed could they? Nobody fucking asked my opinion so results may vary.

It could be that Turkey and the United States are smarter than all the others and don't accept evolution. :shock: :-k #-o

Reminds me of a Greg Giraldo joke. Cyprus is beating us? I didn't even know Cyprus was a country.

Americans are dumb because we don't have to be smart.

APA. *Shakes head. You are not helpiiing.

That, my dear requires thought and I'm your #1 fan club. :) Watching you feed their feet to them is all I ask in life.

As to why Americans are dumb.. 30+ years of leaded gasoline.. That explains it. :-k

Quote from: "drunkenshoe"Yes, but it's a black comedy, APA. Some of the posters here already think I am here because I hate Americans. :roll: *Chuckles*

Why wouldn't you hate Americans? Americans hate Americans. Especially on the highway.
