I think it'd be more accurate to say that people are dumb. Americans aren't any dumber than anyone else, we just tend to be a bit isolationist at heart, so we don't generally pay much attention to what's going on outside our borders unless we have to. Must have something to do with being surrounded on 2 sides by gigantic oceans, and surrounded by stable and relatively prosperous countries on the other 2 sides.

The Dumbians of Dumb Island are dumb. They are so dumb that they make "regular dumb" look like "little dumb". They watch Dumbo all day long, worship the movie Dumb & Dumber, and their mantra is "Dumb is as dumb does". How could they be any dumber?

As a Non-American, I don't actually think you're any more dumb than anyone else. Except that since there are more of you than the rest of us, the law of averages suggests there'll be more dumb folk over there.
Of course, in the UK, we tend to ignore dumb folk on the whole, with one or two exceptions... Over there, you sort of let them have their own way a bit more... you know, electing them to office, letting them make or star in movies... Anyway, this was a stupid thread, so I see no reason to be sensible in it either. _____________________

I am afraid that there is a grain of truth in this. Presenting an incomplete list purely American stupid people, stupid things, and Americans who take advantage of the stupid:
"Reality" programming The 2004 Presidential election (Not trying to be partisan here. Both sides behaved badly) Paris Hilton & Nicole Ritchie City dwellers who drive Hummers "Thug Life" People who drive slowly in front of me, chatting on cellphones Kenneth Lay People who replace their airbags with LCD screens The one who first refered to jewelry as "bling" Credit card dependency Drunken basketball fans George W Bush Peter Popoff Anyone who watches Jackass People who believes that "Professional" wrestling is real Criminals who tape their crimes The KKK _____________________

Jackass was actually an entertaining show sometimes. There's something very enjoyable about seeing reckless idiots dance the evolutionary tango with Uncle Darwin. |

Yaa, you tea-sippers take your dumb ones and put them in a palace and call them monarchs.... Or sit them down on green benches in a rectangular room, call 'em Parliament, and let them slavishly follow American foreign policy. _____________________

One time I tried to watch "As Time Goes By" and i couldn't. then I tried to watch "Waiting for God", and I couldn't either. I don't know if i'm too dumb or they were, but i think we mutually loathed each other. _____________________

By that Guy on a tiny Island?? They pulled in just behind the fridge He lays her down, he frowns "Gee my life's a funny thing, am I still too DUMB?" He kissed her then and there She took his ring, took his babies It took him minutes, took her nowhere Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything, but All night She wants the DUMB American DUMB American, DUMB American, she wants the DUMB American All right She wants the DUMB American Scanning life through the picture windows She finds the slinky vagabond He coughs as he passes her Ford Mustang, but Heaven forbid, she'll take anything But the freak, and his type, all for nothing He misses a step and cuts his hand, but Showing nothing, he swoops like a song She cries "Where have all Papa's heroes gone?" All night She wants the DUMB American DUMB American, DUMB American, she wants the DUMB American All right She wants the DUMB American All the way from Washington Her bread-winner begs off the bathroom floor "We live for just these twenty years Do we have to die for the fifty more?" All night He wants the DUMB American DUMB American, DUMB American, he wants the DUMB American All right He wants the DUMB American Do you remember, your President Nixon? Do you remember, the bills you have to pay Or even yesterday Have you been an un-American? Just you and your idol singing falsetto 'bout Leather, leather everywhere, and Not a myth left from the ghetto Well, well, well, would you carry a razor In case, just in case of depression Sit on your hands on a bus of survivors Blushing at all the afro-Sheilas Ain't that close to love? Well, ain't that poster love? Well, it ain't that Barbie doll Her heart's been broken just like you have And All night You want the DUMB American DUMB American, DUMB American, you want the DUMB American All right You want the DUMB American You ain't a pimp and you ain't a hustler A pimp's got a Cadi and a lady got a Chrysler Black's got respect, and white's got his soul train Mama's got cramps, and look at your hands ache I heard the news today, oh boy I got a suite and you got defeat Ain't there a man you can say no more? And, ain't there a woman I can sock on the jaw? And, ain't there a child I can hold without judging? Ain't there a pen that will write before they die? Ain't you proud that you've still got faces? Ain't there one damn song that can make me break down and cry? All night I want the DUMB American DUMB American, DUMB American, I want the DUMB American All right I want the DUMB American DUMB American DUMB American, DUMB American, I want the DUMB American (I want with you, I want with you want) All right (You want it, I want you you, you want I, I want you want) DUMB American, DUMB American, I want the DUMB American (I want to want, to want, to want , to want I, I want you) All right (Lord I wanted the DUMB american) (DUMB american) DUMB American, DUMB American I want the DUMB American Mmmmmm mmm _____________________
