I hate to be the one to have break this to you but the location you happen to be born in have very little to do with how smart/stupid you are. Every country around the world without exception have idiots. With all the stereotyping and generalizing you do it's not at all surprising that idiots gravitated towards you.
I doubt I know anyone who couldn't pick out South Africa on a map and most are aware it's a fairly developed country. However if you're running your month stereotyping everyone all the time like you seem to be in the habit of doing, only idiots are going to want to talk to you.
So yes, you can find stupid people in America or anywhere else in the world. America is a wildly diverse nation with all kinds of people.
Also keep in mind this isn't Europe, Africa, or Asia. We are somewhat isolated over here. The location of Botswana or Luxembourg is in no way relevant to our lives. In all likelihood that will never be useful information to me. Why the fuck should we care where they are?
You still sound jealous and bitter to me. You're just a typical douche who hates America because we are on top. You're no better than the people you complain about.
TL;DR - Haters gonna hate
Talk about stereotyping and lowering yourself Dan, you label me as a hater even though you seemingly purposefully ignore my clear recognition in my posts that I do not hate Americans or anyone else for that matter, if you were to go back and read every post you responded to me in this thread you will see that you were the one berating and belittling me not visa versa...."Mr. Douchebag"
And you are right in saying that there will always be idiots in every country but are you choosing to ignore that the rest of the worlds understanding of a first world country like America who is the best at everything is that they would overall be more educated, aware and in tune with the rest of the world considering they are always delving into everyone's business and trying to tell them democracy and capitalism is the only way, the right way, Christ's way.
Your comment of *
we are somewhat isolated over here* is most probably accurate from the point of view that Americans are fed a daily systematic diet of delusion they call their daily lives just like everyone else in the first world unfortunately but at the same time is somewhat of a contradiction in terms considering that America is the super power of the world, the largest economy in the world, the largest exporter of corporate product in the world. 3rd world countries expect you guys to know better and act accordingly, not to just run in and take what you want because you have bigger guns. This is not the vast majority of the citizens of America's fault nor their personal actions but rather a secluded bunch of mavericks who abuse their power and position for their own gain.
Your other comment of *
why the fuck should we care where they are?* can be interpreted in one of two ways, the location of places is not all that much of a big deal and in the scheme of thing it ain't pivotal to anyone's life necessarily
BUT it could also be interpreted in a way in which I see many many westerners view the rest of the world...
IF IT AIN'T HAPPENING TO ME THEN I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM, RATHER THEM THAN ME ATTITUDE which is precisely the problem I have with western society. When was the last time America or any country in Europe was bombed to shit since WWII? It is easy to digress as a westerner isn't it. This is why governments are allowed to get away with what they do but it has become so complacent a problem that now westerners are even allowing themselves to be cornered into agreeing to stripping of liberties for the sake a false war on terror or any other implement that suits the few rather then the many.
So far you have given me the impression that you are far more focussed on your berating retorts to me rather than actually reading thoroughly my points of view, if you had you would realise that I am not a hater of American citizens but rather a hater of western complacency and overall ignorance of the truth behind what our governments in collusion with corporate powers to do us all, 1st world or the 3rd world.
By the way Dan, if you had ever interacted with a rural person in a 3rd world environment who is largely untouched by western ways you would realise that they have very little understanding of jealousy or bitterness which only goes to show that these emotions and feelings are created by western ways.
PS. As much as you may hate to hear this you better enjoy that No.1 position whilst it lasts, every dog has it's day....you only have to look back in history for proof of that.
