I don't think that is exactly correct. I checked the video of yours out with no sound so I might have been fooled. ^^

If americans were that stupid they would be in big trouble when it comes to politics. -.-''

Edit: Well to be honest when compering school system of finland and american one we beat them off board quick. Everyone here who are in adult age have spent atleast 9 years in school (minus summer, xmas and some minor holidays on top of that). Whole system makes it free and is forced by law (yes, We have duty to learn ^^). Although we pay bit more taxes and there is no tax free people (like in america some sport is supported so that they don't need to pay taxes)
If I am correct childer in america can completely quit school if parents are not against it and huge part of edjucation is not cheap.

I'm about to watch the video, but first let me explain something - these type of people can be found anywhere. The people who made the video probably interviewed hundreds of people, then put only the funny stupid ones into the video. The average person is never that dumb.

EDIT: Okay, saw it. At least one guy was joking, and to be honest, there were a couple questions I didn't know the answers to. I'd never heard of the "Coalition of the willing" for example. It's not as bad as they're making it seem, anyhow.

You don't find that stupid people from finland unless they are under age of 12.

I'm sure there are more stupid people there than you think - you simply don't see many of them, being in a different crowd.

I'm not really sure why I'm going out of my way to defend America, though. Neutral

They can be terribly stupid sometimes.....
And I'm really scared at how many people think Israel is a Muslims country. o_o

I'm the English rep for stupid people.

Well, Americans are stupid. Just not that stupid on a daily basis.

The "Country that begins with U" one would have gotten me too.

(I'm sort of in the US, I don't like to think that I am though... Unfortuantly, Hawaii's a US state...)

Arghness, playing with Europeans can be quite a challenge. Reading all the "colours" and "favours" stuffs... Mehbeh I R just an Ameritard.

And yes it's United States of America. Or USA. Now days you say either "US" or "US of A". "US of A" is usually not typed. U of SA is just stupid.
