Some Americans are stupid. Not all of them.


There are some stupid people who are from different countries too,
even from the ones deemed as the "smartest".


One can raise the question as to what defines stupidity,
and what it means to be smart?


It's not as black and white as some would like to suggest.


A master's degree doesn't make someone a genius, and being a high school dropout doesn't make someone intellectually challenged.

Interestingly there is an interview with Jeff Daniels in today's e version of Metro. Don´t know if this link will work but if it doesn't, try looking for the UK version of Metro on line.

Im talking about basic common sense, ethics, morality, empathy, honesty, and self awareness.

When a high school graduate cannot even correctly spell a simple word like with, then yes.....all Americans are stupid, because they let the government take over and make the most important things in life, the least important things in life.
