Hi, I am going to criticize your use of uncited statistics. Oh hey, want to see some of my own uncited statistics? Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! Anyone who took the time to get informed on the history and policies that the candidate espoused would have had an equally tough time voting for Kerry. Honestly, if all you want to do is push around blanket statements then I'm not even going to bother. You can't judge a person's intelligence based on a single vote. Political propaganda tells you you can, but really you can't.

I hate people in our country that say fuck bush and when you ask them why they respond, "i fcking hate taht cunt cuz he raised gas prices and he sucks COck!" No one knows exactly why they hate bush, just that they are told by everyone else that they have to. Open your fucking eyes americans! The liberal fad here is driving me crazy...

QFT, oh my fucking god I hate it when people will just jump on the I HATE BUSH bandwagon just because it is the cool thing to do now-a-days. The best part is they have absolutely no idea why they hate bush other than "he just sux lolz".

This isn't to say I don't disagree with alot of things Bush does, and I don't even like the guy much myself either but still, that specific behavior bugs the shit out of me.

edit: the point I think Fr33t was trying to make, which I completely agree with, is the majority of Americans are fucking retarded and will act like flocks of sleep whenever there is a public outcry for it.

but you loved it when it was a terrorism fear fad that helped you invade countries.

Terrorism fear fad? Are you fucking with me? 19 men hijack our jets, crash them into three separate buildings, kill 2,974 innocent people, and we don't have the right to be afraid? And hell, that was just one attack. What about all of the other terrorist attacks that take place all over the world? Is this "terrorism fear fad" anything like the nazi fear fad Jews had in WWII?

Just a quick statement on the whole book things:

I think the thing about books (which you can also get from reading the internet assuming it is something that isn't retarded) is that it keeps your brain functioning and processing. With shit the way it is and whatever the percentage of kids is that are entering high school that read at like a 1st grade level, shit needs to be fixed. Does reading a book make you intelligent by default? Obviously not. I'll get more information browsing the internet in a couple hours than if I spent a week in a library. However reading a book allows you to slow down and not focus on shock and awe or full action paced things like on TV and you can really read and understand the material.

I actually have 3 Countries I get to bash seeing as I have lived in all 3!

For now I'll stick with my home country
USA

I'm from the Midwest, so I have to say, I probably deal with the dumbest people on the planet. I mean honestly, anyone who's favorite genres of music are Rap and Country....that just shows you how ass backwards shit is. Things I remember from high school are that we aren't proud to be intellectuals. Our country bashes the smart "elitists" and don't want their opinions. We want to live with stupidity and never come out of it. I mean I slept through most of high school, yet I tested better than 98% of the school. Teachers aren't paid shit, and their expected to train these fucking monkey kids that think being dumb is fucking hard or cool.

A message to kids out there that think the gangsta life is going to get you anywhere...grow the fuck up already and stop being a bane on our society. I doubt any of those kids read these forums. Listen I understand the dream of making money and doing little work, I am a poker player after all. However there is a difference between making money the way I do and still being somewhat useful to society and then being a fucking waste of life to the point that if I could travel back in time I'd fucking punch all their moms in the ovaries as soon as they got pregnant with them. Money is a good thing, but money without some sort of functioning brain means you'll probably just destroy your life and a lot of other peoples lives.

Our politics are so dumb right now they give me a migraine to even think about. Sure we have TV shows like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report that mock the government, but really, it changes nothing. Those shows aren't coming up with ways to fix shit, they are just mocking the shit that is going on. That is seemingly enough to keep the people happy "Hey the government sucks, but at least Jon Stewart and Colbert are going to have some funny shit to talk about!". Then there are the people who don't think are government is in the wrong, mostly religious right wing nut bags that should all be put in potato bags and beaten until they either realize they are dumb, or until they die.

People like Rod Parsley and John Hagee who are scared of everything and damn people to hell like they were fucking brought to heaven by God and anointed to tell people how to fucking live. Where the fuck do these fucking cunt bags get off. I have no problem with religion, unless they are a religion based on conversion. If you can't just be fucking happy and let other people believe what they want to believe without getting in their business, without getting in our schools, without getting into our governments, you shouldn't be allowed to fucking talk til you this little point out..."YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING MORE THAN WHAT ANYONE ELSE KNOWS ABOUT WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE!". I personally believe these are the cunts responsible for why America is so fucking stupid.

Here are my main 3 reasons -

1. The people that believe the shit they hear from people like them are fucking mindless sheep. They walk around spewing the shit they hear Sunday mornings and act like they have life figured out. Here is what they think life consists of...Either something good happened and God blessed them, or something bad happened and the Devil is working to bring them down. They are homophobic, technophobic?, brainwashing cunts.

2. People who have done away with the shit preached on Sunday mornings and have reverted to being the anti church, but can't really come up with an idea on their own. So what do they do? They start being the people you see who don't put "limits" on how they live their lives. Drug abusers, alcoholics, people who think they can do whatever they want because they think God is BS and they don't answer to anyone but themselves.

3. The people that spew Sunday morning rhetoric, while simultaneously doing shit they tell other people not to do. The fucking hypocrites, which I think is probably the biggest portion. They pick and choose what rules to follow and they still like to judge everyone else.

Obviously this doesn't cover everyone, but in the Midwest these people run rampant. Where are the "Hey religion has it's place, but it's not in every aspect of our lives, but we are still socially required to not act like complete fucking dumbasses and be somewhat useful to society" people?

Also, the fact that everyone outside of the states assumes that there isn't anyone in the states that actually has a brain. I know this was mentioned before, but I'd like to reiterate that fact. Listen I know we do some dumb shit, but we are also the country that people come to for help. I'm not going to say we do a fucking good job, but fucking get your heads out of your asses. Sure we fucking nuked the shit out of Japan, sure we fucking start wars without just cause, but we also help other countries that can't defend themselves when a stronger country tries to take them over. Obviously we don't do it for every country, but you know, that is impossible. The fact is, and proven by this thread, every country has their fucking problems...except I guess Norway. Our problems just affect more of the world than most, thus we get more shit then most. It's just like the popular kid in high school. Say everyone knows you and likes you, but then you fuck up, that many more people know about it and that many more people start to dislike you, as opposed to the country that nobody talks to.

Every country has those citizens that think their country can do no wrong and that they are the greatest nation on the planet for some reason or another...well ok maybe not every country. Unfortunately for the US, our country ass kissers are a bit dumber than most, and yet they are more vocal than most as well. The US may be the "Greatest" nation on the planet in some aspects, but we are far from being a great country.

I'm with E goldman. You don't have to examine every single subject you want to chat about in a forum with the scientific method. Being an observant person and having a good enough memory is enough for things like that. This isn't the house of blood commons.

Well I lived in 20 states. You're right, I didn't spend my time with well-renowned scientists or any great philosophers I spent time with average americans; doctors, lawyers, professors along with people who worked at a 7-11 or Mickey D's or just basic outlet stores and offices etc. My conclusion is obviously based on my experience with the amount of people that i've come across...the overall intelligence in the american populace that i've been introduced to is not that great. Perhaps you've had a different experience that leads you to believe otherwise.

LoL, Jibba, if you have a decent argument then use it. If you'd like to hide behind inane positions like "If you haven't met and interviewed every single human in the USA and tested their intelligence in a comprehensive way (as of yet, not achieved by the vast scientific community) then you're not qualified to speak on the intelligence of people in the USA," then there's nothign to talk about.

By that incredible logic, you would also say no scientist can comment on e. coli unless they've examined every single cell of e.coli in existence under the most powerful of atomic microscopes. Your logic FAILS. It's pretty easy to get a good cross-section of the USA, and it's pretty easy to see that literacy, intelligence, and power of analysis have gone downhill. Even during the Colonial era, people were prided on how well-spoken and well-read they were. Nowadays? You'd be surprised how many people don't even know how many planets there are in the Solar System. In fact, most people think the closest planet to Earth is the Moon.

Sorry, but you're the one with his head stuck in the sand, hiding from reality around him. Take your rose-colored glasses off and try doing some actual research. Instead, you just spout garbage here, think it "sounds" rational, and try to condemn what others say merely because it doesn't sit right with you. It sounds extreme and sensational, so you reject it right? Somehow, nothing could ever be THAT BAD. It's just pseudo-intellectual liberal whining again. Sure. I actually invite you to say more, because all it does is further justify my point.

If you actually want to put down some real positions, I'd be glad to debate. But YOU are the one giving blanket assumptions saying "it can't be that bad. There are book clubs out there."
