As a pretty knowledgeable dude, I say, "They absolutely are dumb as ****."

How many Americans can name all 50 states and their capitals?

How many Americans can write an equation for a simple math problem like this: Jimmy (J) has 14 more baseballs in his bag than Paulie (P) who has three?

How many Americans can name all three branches of government?

Hell, how many Americans have read a book in the past 365 days?

How many Americans voted for Brock O'Bama.....twice?
 
How many Americans default to calling their countrymen stupid when elections don't go the way they want?
 
How many Americans get swamped with and can not cope with their emotions when things do not go their way?

Note to them: Some people are better.

Be Better.
 
Americans are pretty well educated relative to the developing world but not so much compared to the other developed nations. We are kinda the world's "C" students whereas nations like Iceland and Japan are the "A" students. Of course, that is taking education as an average. There are some exceptionally bright Americans but educational opportunities in our country are very influenced by socioeconomic status.
 
They're not ALL stupid. Some realized we needed a real leader who actually cared for America, and supported the one we now have.

The rest? Meh. Yeah, you're right....dumb as bricks stupid.

A lot are very good at intellectual tinkering and convincing others that they should be professors, but when it comes to understanding what matters they are found to be dumb as bricks.

If you think innovation is tied to education you are sadly mistaken..... do you think " education " as you define it built the greatest nation the world has ever seen? I'm not saying is not important, it is. It's only part of what has made this country the greatest on earth. It's the free market and lack of government "interference ".. the more we move towards big government the less" great " we will become.

Did he send and receive classified information? Did he request classified information be sent to his private server? Did he start a private server with the intent to get around FOIA?

Show us you can create the equation asked for in line #3 of of the op.

Or, simpler yet, name the capital of Alaska or Montana without using the google. Or tell us the state surrounded by Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho and Wyoming.

He sucks on Putin's penis. That's a bit more important than that crap your worried about.

BTW, can you solve a math problem? I've got one I can throw at you.

I'm a programmer and have an engineering degree, so yes. Do you care to answer a programming question? Ever wonder why vehicles in video games many times go faster diagonally? A good programmer should not make that mistake either.
 
Yes, if they fall for this

You wouldn't believe the irony in the fact that you are making broad generalizations about a huge group of people being stupid. I thought the left was TOTALLY against that.

Also ironic you call people stupid then answer arguments with retarded ad-hom. Come on my good chum

I'm just asking if you all can solve a simple math problem.

Try this.

Write the equation to represent Fred (F) has twice as many marbles as Greg (G).

Go.

Barack.

Are you trying to prove my point?

C'mon. 'Brock O'Bama'. Look closer at it.
Granted, it's not a very funny one but still...

Yeah, yeah. Show me how smart you are. Tell me which state was known for copper production in the early 1900's (hint: there were at least two). Or, better yet, name two states which were instrumental in the development of the Atom Bomb?

No using google now.

Then when I tell you to go **** yourself I win, because I prove that I am the better man.
 
I bet half the house that most of the people responding to this thread so far cannot answer the questions in the op. The whine which followed my op certainly did not show anyone even attempting to do it.

I rest my case.

No. You only proved that you cannot solve a 10th or 11th grade math problem. :lol:
