Americans

[my porsche]

haha i clicked the last one each time and my IQ was 27 lower! yay!

proof

i want to see matra take this

"we're sorry sir, the number that would be required to measure your IQ has not currently been discovered."

[QUOTE=IWantAnAudiRS6]Haha! How do we all manage... we're all older countries and making much better use of our resources!

Population to Area ratio.

Plus just about every single european nation had an empire at one time or another. Looking for resources.

Now please don't call me an idiot, i have calmed down and i wish you the same, i respect your opinion, if we always agreed everything, everything would be so dull and borring, no meaning to life, but arguements make the world go 'round.

There is always a yes or a no or a what.

Yeah, the American kids were waaaaay off when it came to geography. Only 16% could point out Sweden... Unfortunately I know from personal experience that the number is probably even lower in Finland.

The questions wern't even hard. I don't know how anyone could get them wrong to begin with.

But here's another funny one. In what country were Al Qaida and the Taliban originally based:

Thats ignorance as opposed to stupidity.

I dont see how countries are 'better' than one another. What really makes one country better than another??! Americans are better than every other country?? Because they devote themselves to war?? The biggest war going on in america is against obesity for christs sake!!! The 'obesity epidemic'. Thats just pathetic. Correct me if Im wrong, but doesnt america have one of the lowest average working salaries on earth??

This thread is so stupid. I will end this now, Australia ROCKS!!!

[Coventrysucks]

I don't understand why so many non-americans accuse Americans of being ignorant and stupid.

Gee, I can't think why that is.

Could it be to do with Americans making ignorant and stupid remarks like this:

We are the better half of your countries...
Its lonely at the top, but it is comforting to look at all of you beneath us.

I also find it funny when Americans rant about "how dare you criticise America withou ever having been there", and then criticise the "Real World" without ever having been there.

Thats just the stupidest thing ive ever heard of. Words just cant describe that kind of stupidity. You're making americans look dumb to me Seriously you are.

I took the TA3, the hardest one, tell me what you got pando, only 36 questions, if you get 124 or better, you get hooked up with the high IQ society.

Hehe, I got a 126 on my first try while watching television... Wow did I get hooked up with the high IQ soc.? Well for a small fee of 79, 89, 109 or 499$ you get bla bla bla... No thanks. (Although the 500$ golf shirt was tempting)

Sadly this was directed to Americans, and although my english is OK, its not my mother tounge and I have to say it at least slowed down my thinking in a few questions. Also I've heard they practice the "a puppy is to a dog questions" in school, but I've never heard them except on Conan.

Besides IQ tests are just a western invention which results' can easily be improved by simple training...

and the eggnog

I never mentioned stupidity I think?

[shockwaveracing]

The Internet forced nobody. That same statement can be said about Europe and other countries too.

I hate these kinds of topics because there will always be 1 person who thinks they know everything about America, yet have never been or lived there.

these threads also show that with a topic like this, it can not be explained in a couple of lines of a post in some car forum, albeit one as great as this one .

[challenger]

i havent reali read this topic, all i hate about america are the californian accents

e.g...when they say.......OMG/totally/awsome or TOTALLY AWSOME

[QuattroMan]

Qman will you go back and edit that post please ?
it doesn't look as if you said anything sensible --- oh wait
No seriously other than the ignoring the NASA analogy and somewhere in the middle not "surrendering" to China" I'm confused. As perhaps that statement shows you are too, when a world power declines it doessn't get much choice about it !!!!!

you call that surrendering? we call that in the military keeping an eye the enemy,please don't tell your that (naive)spell Matra,

Thus proving the problem you have with world politics and economics ...

It's NOT all about who can beat up who in teh playground with the biggest stick.

The British Empire didn't lose it's power by battles , but by economic pressure and diplomacy.
THAT was the point I was trying to get you to pcik up on abut hte "surrendering to China" nonsense

There will not be a war - coz GWB is out after this period

Now try saying your e.g. sentence without exhaling too much air, you've gotten it, just add tot'ly rad/perpendicular/like...like...like...

Still, better than the sa'done draaa'l.

Then again, giving too much weight to stereotypes shows at least some amount of ignorance.
