Why do the Europeans think we're so dumb?

[Lubernaut]

Is it because we're so stupid?

1. NO...

It's because "51%" of us are so stupid.

[Gregorian]

2. Because we don't know a fascist when we see one.

Plus, just look around you next time you check out at the grocers. Between Elvis Seen Lawn Bowling Naked, and Shrek goes to Hollywood, there's tabloids of photoshopped aliens. That's pretty much what I saw today. Maybe I'm getting old, but my first thought was, why don't we have dvd's for math and history and foreign languages?
Americans live their lives in a sad orgy of corporate support.

OK, I know, this was supposed to be funny. And short.

In a word- Yes.

[Deja Q]

3. Because they tuned into some of our broadcast networks?

Sadly, judging by their modern works, it's safe to say they've been trying to emulate us in return...

4. Because this dude was elected by a large portion of Americans--twice.

5. Because

our school year is still based on the needs of a 19th century agrarian society.

6. They're annoyingly obervant...

... and they watch the news.

7. I really hate the whole country of Europe!

USAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSAUSA!!!!!!

They didn't think we were so stupid when we kicked their ass at Pearl Harbor!:hide: :hide: :hide: :hide: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

8. Our cultural quirks manifest themselves in different ways.

David Hasselhoff is a helluva lot more popular in Europe than he is in North America. It may not be as bad as having Bush for a president, but I think the old adage about glass houses holds here.
