"11 percent cannot find the United States"

Now THAT is sad.

Americans, in general, IMHO, are ignorant morons when it comes to international affairs, geography, foreign languages, math, science, history ...

Just about everything.

Which part are you from in the United States pseudo?
cuz I heard people from central USA are really very stupid. Isn't that were Dubya comes from?

One guy from Texas asked me one day. Hey, if Seven Elevens are opened 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week and 30 days a month, why do their doors have locks? (very silly question)

I'm not offending anyone, we've got a bunch of heads in their arse shitheads here in Canada too. And they're mostly from Central Canada.

aren't most of the US army in the 18-24 year old group? Now that's scary

I hope they don't go to war on Iraq then, cause they are more likely to hit <fill in your own town here>

I am curious, why does a man or woman need to know all this stuff? I will rarely cloud my brain with geographic info and social info, because I can get all that info out of a book, or on the Net, etc.

The key is to use your resources effectively and use your brain for matters more important. I work with children quite often, and to me it is much more important that they know HOW and WHY they would need to find the US than be able to recognize it quickly in a given situation, say, on a map.

Maybe it isn't that folks are ignorant, maybe it is that they don't use wisdom and understanding. Maybe there are places that the 7-elevens never close. If the 7-eleven never closes, why are there locks on the doors? Is it because the door manufacturer builds the doors with locks? Does 7-eleven ever lock the doors? Were the locks on the doors in case the manager had to step out momentarily and the contents inside need protection? Were the locks there for initial inventory and were not needed afterward? After all, what was his intent behind the question? Maybe he wasn't really sure why they had the locks? Maybe where he lives 7-eleven wasted money on doors with locks?

I find there really aren't stupid questions unless someone is asking to ensnare another. There are many common everyday things that people don't know and we could call them stupid of that, but I have found that you can trap most anyone with a question.

People think at different levels
