Please people, read a book or something...

I know that some of this is from editing, but come on people.
We really need to pick up the pace if we want to succeed in a global economy. This is a good example of why we need to work on better educating our kids...

and that wouldn't happen over there in the UK give me a brake.

 

[Tim]

Sure it would... it would happen anywhere... but you have to admit that we have our fair share of idiots in America

 

[Homer]

your right tim it just bugs me that they would go out of their way to make the US look bad, you know what they say about throwing rocks in a glass house.

 

[All Else Failed]

Well, we do have some of the lowest test scores for a nation, EVER. We actually score lower than a lot of third world nations. Thats sad.

Out of the 100 or so they showed on that video, how many do you think they interviewed... 400? 500?

This video is skewed to show people who don't give a fuck whats going on anywhere but in their own corner of the world. Editing to make your slanted point FTW!

I can guarantee I could answer 90% of those questions. I don't care who's in the coalition of the willing. It doesn't concern me.

Tim, I say we go to England and start asking questions just like those. I bet we can make the British look just as stupid as they did us.

Oh, did anyone else notice how many of those subtitles were misspelled?

Hell James, I agree 100%, we could do that exact same thing anywhere in the world. I'm not saying we are smarter or dumber than any other country. It's not even about the US against the world. I'm just amazed at how stupid some people can be. It's pretty funny actually, and sad at the same time.

But we all know or have met people that are dumber than dirt... it's just a shame that anyone should be so stupid... maybe we should require some sort of IQ test before you can procreate. Too many stupid people breeding... they breed at a faster rate than we do.

Not everyone is smart. So what?

How much knowledge someone has in their head is not what makes them a worthwhile human being anyway. It is what's in the heart of a person that matters most.

Anyone can gain knowledge if and when they decide to seek it. But people that have ugly hearts don't ever seem to change. They have a superior attitude that they just can't see past.

Uneducated people are part of the major problem in the world.


I would argue that knowledge is just as or even more important as their "heart". Who cares what is in their hearty if they do not know what it is, what it means or how to use it?

 

[Peter Parka]

No offense, all countries have theitr more than fair share of idiots but not all countries voted an idiot like George W Bush into power and then were the only country with a majority who don't actually realise he's an idiot!

Admittedly, we chose Blair, but to be fair, look at our alternatives!

Hate is a major problem in the world, the rest can be 'learned'.

We'll have to agree to disagree, mah' dear.

Hate/racism/bigotry is a sign of an uneducated mind though.

A sign it not a sure thing. There are plenty of hateful educated people in this world. Hate doesn't discriminate.

Hate is largely an emotion governed my misunderstanding of something, which is clearly someone not understanding the thing they hate.

I don'y buy this symbolistic "what you have in your heart makes you who you are".

So what???
You don't find any problem with individuals in this country who are still uneducated? We are blessed to live in a society where education is freely available to EVERY citizen. There is no reason that every American should not be at least a high school graduate or equivalent. Of course there are individuals who have learning disabilities or handicaps, but I'm talking about the majority of our citizens.
I'm not suggesting that every citizen should be "smart" but at least get a basic education.

Anyone can gain knowledge if and when they decide to seek it.
You're right, they can. But it's the fact that they don't. It's all about motivation, getting your fat butt off the couch, putting down the PS3 controller, doing something to better yourself.

But people that have ugly hearts don't ever seem to change. They have a superior attitude that they just can't see past.
Ugly heart = superior attitude?
I don't believe they are connected in any way. Maybe you are putting the two together to describe me, but in general context they don't go together.

How much knowledge someone has in their head is not what makes them a worthwhile human being anyway. It is what's in the heart of a person that matters most.
You're right, it doesn't make them a worthwhile human being, but it does make them worthwhile to society. It doesn't matter how good someones heart is, if they cannot function properly in society due to lack of basic education then they are a burden to the rest of us.
A mother who gives her infant adult medication for a cough may have a great heart, but not being able to read the warnings affects more than just her.

I saw this before, still cracks me up, lol
The only thing I wonder is why how can it be that the United States has some of the best Universities in the world and people like those
Well, i think we must be honest and say none of that video can be generalized. I think some people should have payed more attention in school though.
And what's that about inviding countries? no wonder the people were no so smart, they went around asking war mongers or what?

That is true, but the base of racism and other discriminations is ignorance and fear for what is difference. Education those correlate with tolerance in most people.
