One woman said "sugar". He asked another woman how many stars were on the US flag and she said "32". When he showed her an actual flag waving in the background and had her try again, she said the flag was moving to fast to count the stars. <br><br>Those amazing examples of stupidity were one thing, but to see Americans pick out which countries we should invade and not even have valid reasoning as to why we should invade them is just pathetic. Invade France because they were not our allies? Are you kidding me? She didn't even know where it was! A shame because she actually came off as an intelligent black woman - at first. Italy? The guy might as well have used spinning globe and stopped it with a finger. Any country he landed on would be the next country to invaded. <br><br>That clip makes me embarrassed to be an American.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481960934450782247.post-17970164914881403852005-10-05T08:29:33.026-07:002005-10-05T08:29:33.026-07:00Dear lord, I feel like a flappin' genius right...Dear lord, I feel like a flappin' genius right now.Marniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18425715029976018150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481960934450782247.post-89752590385829432222005-10-05T09:36:23.456-07:002005-10-05T09:36:23.456-07:00I'm sure you've seen that Map pf the World...I'm sure you've seen that Map pf the World as seen by Americans?

It's very easy to interview 1,000 people and find 10 who are really dumb. These types of people exist in your country too contrary to your belief that you are so much better and more intelligent than America. I met a woman in Ireland who told me she hated ME because of my president. I met a student from Scotland who seriously asked if I had "ever killed a man" because I live in New York. The people in these videos are sad, but I can assure you that between 99% and 100% of the people I know can pinpoint France on a map. I know it is trendy these days to poke fun at the country who saved the world from Nazism and was most responsible for rebuilding Europe's economy after WWII, but please get over yourselves (some of you) and realize that Americans are just as smart as you and that the people in these videos are not typical Americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481960934450782247.post-31531877362580125842005-11-01T19:05:19.290-07:002005-11-01T19:05:19.290-07:00Did anybody pin a terrorist flag on the state of T...Did anybody pin a terrorist flag on the state of Texas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481960934450782247.post-51423522400298889062005-11-02T09:26:09.156-07:002005-11-02T09:26:09.156-07:00To the anonymous poster who made the claims about ...To the anonymous poster who made the claims about the USA saving the world from Nazism, I would rethink that attitude if I were you.

Whether this reputation is deserved or not I can't say. I don't live there and the Americans I know are fantastic people.
