Americans Are NOT Stupid-Are they?
http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/7F2Fyq/www.metacafe.com/watch/542022/americans_are_not_stupid_with_subtitles/


Ask the average American if they can name a country that starts with the letter U and most were not able to answer.

How about the United States of America.

What is the main religion of Israel?

The language spoken in Latin America is Latin. True or False?

Check out the video and laugh .

Not bad but you still got one wrong...........Utah is not a country. You get a B+

But your response was not common as you saw in the video the answers for most of the average person on the street in the US. No wonder the US is losing ground to the rest of the world.....shameful......

Aw shucks! at least i tried. But I find it hard to believe this video. Don;t u think that the video might be edited? they only left those with the wrong answers to make the US citizens as dumb?

Good point, you are probably right........It was probably bias from the start and recorded just to mislead and falsely prove that Americans are dumb.

Nevertheless, I have seen similar street interiews on the tonight show and the responses were similar. But yes, I think it was bias....If you go to any street corner around the world and ask the same questions, no doubt the responses would be any different. The average person on the go is too busy making a living and doing their own thing and are not concerned with things that are basically trivial. knowledge in and of itself is vain, does not give nor take away, definitely can't buy you a cup of coffee across the street.
