But what you forget is that there is probably some artistic editing in that vid, but yes, some of them are not too good with their own geography, nevermind world wide issues etc. Hence they got Bush II for a latent president.

I am pretty sure that they have edited the fook out of that. Besides i dont think its hows that they are dumb people just not interested in being informed about anything going on in the outside world (in some peoples cases not even outside there own homes!!).

Most of the Americans i have met (meet loads of them out here) are the most amazing people to talk with, a lot of fun and certainly know how to have fun.

Basic schooling.

Any, example, Finnish kid who's completed our mandatory 9 year basic schooling, is the equivalent of a university applicant(or some such). If you had mandatory schooling in the US, with 9 years (from 6-15), you'd probably have "smarter people" in general there too.

I don't know how wide and long the UK education is, but from what i've heard, the Scandic schooling system is so wide and long that it produces a very nice basic knowledgebase and also helps produce "better" brains.

Ofcourse, booksmarts arn't streetsmarts and which is better is obviously opinionated.

Regarding the video, yes, the people seem dumb, but as mentioned before, editing does wonders, picking people you show does more and some people really don't give a f*ck.

And about what things to give a f*ck about, well, i could ask stuff about finland and most UK peeps would know jack'sh*t about it, so does that mean, that it's more or less intelligent then an american not knowing where australia is?

well if you're in war with an other country, you'd expect them atleast to know where the country is?

and yes editing does do magic... nonetheless it's a funny movie;D

True, but war usually should require some mutual bombardment, some possibility of attack on own soil and such'n'such too. USA has never been in war(except against themselves and the whole independence thing, which weren't americans), it's been an invader and that's it.

But to your point, yes, it should be rather good to know WHO is attacking, but not necessarily where it is.

Afterall, it's not the whole nation in the war status(as said earlier about not being in war), so why would all of them care?

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it's a funny video as it is, just like to discuss this more.

ROFL...How many sides does a triangle have...one...? I don't think it has any sides...LOL

To be honest, look at the people they were asking. You'd probably get the same answers if you asked people in deepest darkest Wales, or in deprived areas like Bradford

*waits for the flames* LOL Bring it on, hill-billies !

Lamp, i live in Leeds, supposedly a dodgy as fuck chav scum wasteland,, its actually not that bad, plus on the whole most people are failry well educated.

Their news from the T.V. isn't exactly top notch so they are only fed what they are given which is horribly substandard in some cases. Their newspapers? Well, I only read 3 papers. Two of them were rather average but considerably better than our tabloids. One the Chicago tribune was a very good newspaper.

Your population is only as good as the propaganda you feed them and in this case, the emphasis on news is mainly targetted at sport. American's are sport's nuts. Other issues fall into less matters of interest and mainly focus on state issues. For example; NBC and Fox news agencies are locally state based and there really is no national news television station for national news. Nationally based issues unless there is an election are glossed over into blipverts of news items.

I am not saying that either here is responsible. But perhaps a better try at the media and them saying what the focus of what is going on and what should be important to a nations citizens can only improve the nation and its own education in the long term.

I agree with your post, but I just have to point out that you missed WW2. Pearl Harbour is very much USA soil. I know what you mean though, i'm just feeling pedantic. Sorry!

In the UK school is like 4-16

True, and good point, even if it's debatable if it was simply just one attack.

As is, in the big picture, US is probably the safest country to live in, regarding being invaded, and as such, they've not fought a real war. In my opinion. But that's a bit off the point.

Belgium. Exam canonical law (I believe) at university.

- "[...] So, some countries have no need for certain types of laws. Switzerland e.g. doesn't have naval law."
* "Very well, miss. Can you tell me where Switzerland is on the map of Europe?"
- "Ehm..."
* "Can you tell me which countries border to it?"
- "Ehm, Norway?"
