Re: Poor America...

That one is definitely wrong. It is 6 out of 10 Americans don't speak English. I live in S. Florida and no one here speaks a lick of English.

they probably are speaking American ...

Re: Poor America...

but questioning 500 people from a population of 260 million is hardly represnetative is it;

the states is SO huge that idea's/knowledge/experiences can change within a short geographical area - and the cities VS rural (urban/rural) differnces are so marked;


however even those americans that can identify indonesia on a map still dont know anything about it! hehee

Re: Poor America...

dont help that they sample people from the inner cities or the ultra rural areas.. neither have the highest populations of intelligent people.. and these views coming from europeans... well look back and the french riots, the spainsh basque situation and the fact that a commie was just elected in italy......go figure they cant even control thier own population and call the ""resistance"" their way of showing that they are free. keep on burning.

Sorry to bust your balls, but the minimum population to make a sampling valid is 400 people...

Hey, be glad they ONLY asked 500, the results could've been worse

And btw:

- commie (actually a socialist) elected in Italy Bush in the US
- As for the Basques... Yeah well, you have to have a LITTLE bit of national history to that shit going...

Re: Poor America...

I think the reason the world likes to publicize ridiculous statistics about the US is because the United States is the most powerful country in the world, and with Power comes great responsibility and Frame of Mind to use /control it. With that being said, we'd expect at leat 80% of the US population to be educated to a minimum high school level.

But when numbers like that pop out, its a little shocking to the entire world. Same reason why people like to read up on dirty secrets about Actors / Actresses. They're perfect on the image they display on screen but its the negativity that makes the world realize, they're just like everyone else.

Re: Poor America...

Are you concerned by the statistics, or just bashing the U.S.?

I'll take the latter.

There are stupid people all over the world, but it means sooooo much more when they're American. Do we care if little Belgium kids can't find Estonia on the map?? No. Why should we??

Re: Poor America...

I agreed with almost every point.

I'm sure I'm in the minority.

To be very blunt... Because Belgian kids aren't shipped back from Estonia in bodybags.
