Seems to be a pretty conclusive poll.

I think that this topic won`t be liked by big part of phonix users Smile. But however i don`t believe they`re stupid, but the way they introduce thierself to the rest of ther wolrd make other people think that americans are stupid....They are clever enough to invite inteligent foreighners to do their business, while americans eating in the fast food.
They are clever enough to create whole empire using foreigners to do the hard job. even the fact that americans are thought to be invaders a lot of people still want to join this empire of evil Smile

I understand that the US has done some pretty unpopular things, and has had some pretty screwy incidence in this century and the last, but I wouldn't call it the 'empire of evil'. Maintaining peace is a difficult task. Si vis Pacem para bellum. If you've covered the UN much at all, you'll know that they royally suck at it. They've had one single success in their entire history (the Suez incident), every other peace-keeping operation has been a faliure. Previous civilization like the Mongols and the Romans treated dissenters with free beheadings or removal of anatomic parts (fortunatly the US isn't that interested in world peace yet). So yeah, that's why their bumbling around. Hopefully they'll get the hint soon.

As for retarded presidents, I don't think anyone can beat the last president of the country I grew up in.

Bush cheated the elections, and I agree that some states have a lower average IQ, but that doesn't mean Americans are dumb. Just because the states take actions we don't agree with, it doesn't mean the citizens are stupid. @the first poster, I think you're ignorant.

"Are americans as dumb as we all think?"

Option 3
"I am american or I beleive they are not stupid"

When insulting Americans (in print and in English) make sure that your spelling and gammer are perfect; otherwise people will point out errors and question your educational background. Wink

"beleive" should be "believe"
"americans" should be "Americans"


PS: I think spell/grammar checkers were invented in the US.
PSS: Just having some fun with the poll and the responders to the poll. I do realize that most users on Phoenix are speaking in a language that isn't in their native tongue. Please remember, this is done in jest.

I believe they are clever its just the way they come across the the rest of the world and their actions that let them down.

Having been to america several times everyone i met was friendly etc so i cant fault them.

Is there a relevant point trying you're trying to make? I mean, generalizations are awesome like the one that states that most europeans don't shower or bathe regularly, the blacks are all thugs, the asians are all geniuses or that Im a god.

Before you go off insulting a whole nationality based on what you're presented by media outlets. Yes, the majority voted bush back to the white house, that doesn't however mean ALL of america voted for bush. It also doesn't mean that we're just trying to get rid of him. see, 8 years means he can't EVER be president again, whereas if the american public had voted someone else (like a democrat or independent candidate) it would mean that bush could be re-elected for another term later on. 8 straight years is better than 4 now, and 4 sometime in some near future.

In any event, make sure when you're making a poll judging a whole country, that you at least make an effort not to type like a complete and utter dumbass.
