This has to be the most ridiculous thing i have ever seen!!!! http://video.fosfor.se/next-country-to-invade u need sound for this video!! lol its too funny, i could pick out any country and tell you where it is, and everyone i know could do the same, how ridiculous is this that they keep picking australia
I'm just wondering...why do you think those people are so ignorant? And why do you think only Americans are ignorant?
It's funny that nobody they interviewed knew their world maps! I can't believe thought France and Korea were in the location of Australia! Although, I must admit, I take great offense to your thread title.
its very unfortunate, that a great chunk (not all) live their life for granted in luxery with a GDP of over 35K and free education to highschool level and still dont know these things, its called ignorance or just naturally slow youd be surprised but everyone i know from asia knows their world maps this is what i hate, if i were interviewed, id say iran but these people have NO RIGHT to say IRAN!!! they should say AMERICA for the next country to be invaded, theyd probably pick America on the map if you tricked them THIS IS 100% ignorance, how can you want to invade a country and not know where it is and even 1% about it, if you know 50%+ about it, you can make an educated analysis these people should all change their answer to US lol a black couple picked FRANCE ..? WHY? and they pointed to australia!! LOL, dont they know france is in EU?? and all the people saying they hate middle east! dont they know the an island far from everything is not even close to the middle east, they picked IRAN not realizing that iran isnt all isolated and these people never heard of sri lanka when its been in the news for the last 20 years IDIOTS! and its funny, the people that chose india and china (im guessing for the reason that we are taking their jobs) they have no right to do their jobs if they are this stupid, they should be happy
The people who were depicted in the interview did not know their world map, yes, but this movie does not count for the majority of Americans. This movie probably edited out the people who DID know their world map and only featured the less educated ones. This movie made Americans look bad and by your insaults I take great offense. You have the right to voice out your opinion, but you have no right to call the American people "idiots" or make such rude and arrogant remarks.
These people are so ignorant because they dont even know why they chose their answer, and they dont know 1% of their answer and they kept picking australia!! if you gave a bomb to these people they'd probably bomb the US itself thinking it was FRANCE and the sad thing is in a lot of nations they are educated about the world america they teach more of just america, and in america they promote freedom of speech and to be opinionated which is good, but the great percentage of people that are ignorant and dont know anything make really really dumb statements like in the video realistically if i gave a bomb to one of those people and told them that IRAN was UK, they would bomb the UK from the sky thinking it was iran
And some idiots spell Luxury with an "e". What's your point? The world has plenty of idiots, even in Asia and Europe.
i totally agree with you with the deception of media, but the fact that they even got 10 people shows a lot in a new US study, they say 30% of americans dont even finish high school.. i know, but they arent so aggressive and rushed to state their opinion if they dont know what they are talking about, im just saying its such a shame to see a great percentage of people like that in the states, which is such a powerful and great country i know the US has many of the most intelligent people. but it also has some of the dumbest the whole point of this thread is to show this crazy ignorance they hate islam fundamentalist for being brainwashed that the west is bad when they know nothing about the west but theres a group equivalent to muslim fundamentalist in numbers that are the same way but to the reverse
they say less than 1% of muslims are fundamentalist, and id say the same for americans... but they should know better, since the reason they hate muslims is the exact same way they are acting
the point is not numbers, just if even if 10 people in all of US hate people abroad for reasons they claim to hate, then dont they realize they are even worse??
I'm no pro-US Jingoist, and I don't support US imperialism, but you are really using arguments that would get a 15-year old kicked off the debate team. Do you even have a real point, beyond "Haha... look at a few silly americans!"? I'll save you the trouble. Yes there are stupid americans. Move along, people. There's nothing to see here.
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/geosurvey/highlights.html the point i was trying to make, just 1 point was, people that are so confident to hate someone else more, for the same reason that person hates them is beyond ignorance.. you'd be surprised but outside the US, many people dont want to invade any country
you'd be surprised but inside the US, many people dont want to invade any country. Our President notwithstanding.
This video is obviously a doctored fake. How do you know this wasn't rigged? It's amazing what you can do with a camera and editing software by asking people to point things out on a map and tweaking the audio later. I watched a little of this and thought it was funny, but I don't see how it's so telling of anything about us. Really, blind hate and ignorance isn't just a U.S. issue... it's a people issue. People do it, not Americans. For example... Denmark newspaper prints political cartoons Muslims are offended by, and two days later I see pictures of banners from Muslims around the world saying "Death to Bush, death to Israel". You think their media wasn't putting a spin on what was going on? It happens everywhere. And really... if someone came up to me with a camera and asked who we should bomb next, I certainly wouldn't take them seriously. It's not like this is a scientific study carefully prepared for a legitimate news organization... Ugh.
Hmmm.. I would have figured by now everyone would know he's just trying to get *Your Goat*... The more your say he will say... Leave it alone it's not worth it...
Do you think this Mister Ash1 even realizes that if it wasn't for us "ignorant Americans" he wouldn't even have an Internet to come here and call us "ignorant Americans" in the first place? Or that if not for an American who created the forum, he wouldn't have a forum for his little "I'm better than you, haha" thread? Methinks Mister Ash1 doesn't quite realize the irony of his little insults on all things Americana, or the fact that this isn't a board populated by "his" people, thus he isn't likely to be congratulated on his amazing discovery that, "haha Americans are ignorant, haha" (give or take the second "haha").
