The statutes that govern civil lawsuits can be altered you know. It won't happen of course because the people want the nanny state. Pay attention; the idiots you're mocking right now are largely the ones that vote for all this big government control.

Which is why we want to take the warning labels off...

Don't stop there; end government subsidization of bad behavior while you're at it.

I mean think about it, how many dumbasses would luckily be killed while smoking putting gas in their cars?

Not as many as you think. Cigarettes don't easily spark gasoline, it seems. You can see it for yourself if you'd like. (You'll have to scroll down that last page because the guy doesn't know shit about web page design.)

I wouldn't want to be involved in any field studies to prove this. They are right on at least one point, the gas itself won't ignite, it's the fumes that build up right above the surface. I've always heard that if you could avoid the vapors at the surface, it's possible to throw a lit match into a container of gas and it would be extinguished. But again, I wouldn't volunteer to be the first.......

Read the links. Cigarettes won't even light the gas vapours most times. That last one shows pictures of a pile of lit, glowing cigarettes in a pie pan with gasoline-soaked paper towel -- that isn't igniting. But a match thrown in after each test ignites it right away.

Really. Cigarettes don't easily ignite gasoline. Not the liquid. Not the vapours. Gasoline in any form. Matches? Yes. Sparks from metal striking metal (like the flints in lighters)? Yes. Lit cigarettes? No.

How did the citizens of the richest and most powerfuk country in the world manage to be like this?

Why does this have anything to do with it? Why are only Americans expected to know who the Prime Minister Of Burundi is, then laughed at when they don't know?
It is not totally their faults.

We had a segment in a crappy little television show called "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" in which a "newsman" from the show would go south of the border and ask obvious questions or state obvious falsehoods about your closest neighbours and biggest trading partners. American lawmakers -- not random people selected off the street but people who set fucking government policy! -- would do things like congratulate Canada on building its "National Igloo" or on making its first paper currency or congratulating the new Canadian Prime Minister: Moose Jaw or the like.

What excuse do you have for lawmakers' ignorance on that profound a level?

Fucking lawmakers! Not street rabble selected at random and heavily edited!

First off, you quoted my post out of context and I'm not excusing anyone, much less the people in congress.

Second, If I were to try and excuse him I'd use your closed minded approach of willful ignorance that you display so aptly and retort,

"Why wouldn't US citizens believe that idiotic Canadians just got paper currency? You only recently just got your *ahem* independence (term used as lightlyas possible)"

See the similarity?

Maybe this will help,

"Canadians are actually boring/dull enough to build a National Igloo."


How about this?

"Without a culture of their own save the 'reasons we are not American culture', it's no wonder we all think Canadians would build a national igloo. They got tired of stealing US culture so they decided to 'up the ante' on stealing aboriginal culture."

See, now the closed minded stupidity I just displayed... resembles your own. It makes just as much sense and I could probably find one hundred different examples of boring Canadianism on the internet. But, that doesn't make it a permeated fact of the culture, get real.

But, I think I'll stick with my original assesment that this is (and others like it) are pieces with bias towards certain cross sections that appear in EVERY CULTURE REGARDLESS! Only, WE are the ones that are expected to know this stupid shit, no other country in the world is expected to know who has what where...If you asked the French why Americans only drive SUV's, you are bound to get one that has no clue what an SUV is, or how many sides a triangle has, or *smacks head* one that is happy for the Canadians who built a National Igloo/ voted for Moose Jaw...you'll even get more prejudice as well when they spout off that it wasn't the Quebecois that built such a stupid igloo. It's all relative so quit acting like it's exclusive to the US, especially since you're displaying the same kind of closed minded stupidity you are railing against.

you cannot simply say "thats our share of idiots, you have your share too." because that is just not good enough, no matter how hard i tried i could never ever find a single person who doesn't know how many sides the simplest geometric shape has, its a triangle, i show cards that have triangles on to my 2 year old neice, she can say how many sides it has.

Out of all the countries on this planet. America is in the top 3 for per capita wealth, now if you can't educate your people properly with that, then somthing must be horribly wrong. i have never been taught about american states or cities yet i can probably name about 40 states and 20 of those state's capitals.

It's not all U.S. citizens, it's just an alarming number of us. I can't believe there are people walking around out there that can't figure out what 5 X 2 equals. I just call it laziness and common ignorance, there is no other excuse for it.

Or it's called 'being whacked with a shovel in childhood'.

Brutus- I am almost 100% positive that they said a triangle has (whatever) number of sides just to get on that show. That doesn't show that they aren't intelligent, just that they are camera whores.

You don't canvas the map looking for idiots. I am almost positive you have better things to do. Therefore, you cannot say for certain, so quit pretending you know for certain. I am happy for your niece, she's not a mongoloid, congratulations. I have two nephews and a niece, she can solve complicated quadratic equations in minutes, and the boys donate every present from their birthday to charity and have done so every year since they were seven (twins), they are now 16. We can swap stories all day, I know booku smart/compassionate folks. I'm surrounded by them, I was raised by them, I work with them and for them, I interact with them on this website. All American, all can tell you how many sides any polygon has. (as if that were a measure of intelligence, and as if intelligence was a measure of worthy-ness). So, just what exactly are you trying to say? Should Americans be eradicated? Should all stupid Americans be eradicated? Ask yourself why you feel that way, then forgive yourself, because you are human too, and are capable of stupid fucking thoughts, and it's...OK.

Like I said, I've seen Gits walking around London in the truest form of a fog, wondering where all the cameras came from, rambling on and on about how they should give up their Liberty for Freedom. Re-fucking-tarded. You wanna talk about a subserviant oblivious bunch of people...Take a gander at Londoners. They are just begining to wake up and realize they have all been put in prison.

As for your wealth assesment, that shit statistic is conjured. Just because our per capita wealth is strong, doesn't mean anyone has any money. Only about, almost quite literally, 1% hold the majority of the wealth. You really think we're swimming around in Scrooge McDuck like money pits? You're crazy. Not only are you crazy, but you're also guilty of closed minded stupidity. Looks like I've been proven right, again, retardation is exclusive only to the entire human race.

You're right though, something is wrong, greedy bastards hoarde the money and use it to manipulate our masses into, guess what, spending more money. Not in one million years would they put money into the schools because that yields no money. They use the schools (public) as training grounds for obedience, ask anyone who went to American public schools. So, like I said, it's not completely their faults, and everyone in the world is guilty of it.

Who actually cares about your self proclaimed intelligence? You are one person and cannot possibly begin to represent any slice of people aside from Euro-Youth, which, quite frankly, tends to be incredibly arrogant and is world famous for their racism. A fact proven over and over again everytime you guys meet each other on the pitch. (See how the Closed Minded assesments work both ways?)

The fact of the matter is, even in that video, you can see people compensating for their ignorance with polite concordance...In other words they really don't know (and who would know the fucking prime geezer of New Zealand) but they are polite enough not to make the so called PM feel belittled by denying their knowledge of him. While unexcusable, it certainly is not the actions of an arrogant soul. You cannot blame a people for not having interest in the outside world when most everything they've been taught suppresses that curiosity.

So, you now have homework....pol 100 Americans on whatever fucking topic you like and then show me the results...until then leave it, there is no proof aside from smart ass gits looking to make a name off others stupidity.

Then, when you've completed that, remove all US inventions from your house.
All advances of modern technology forefronted by the US should be thrown out in the street for they lack any usefullness being that they were developed by idiots. I can list them if you like, or if you're too oblivious to your surroundings to realize your modern comfort is a result of US ingenuity.

Who is the abuser and the abused, who is the victim...futhermore, why do you even give a shit if Americans can say for sure how many sides a triangle has? Does it help you sleep at night knowing the fantastic EU has better principles of education? It shouldn't. China's still going to consume you, I suggest you concentrate on them.

Why do hundreds of thousands of people each year, from all over the world, beg US universities to let them taste a semester...just one semester, PLEASE! People flood the borders every day as well as the Immigration office, begging not to be deported, hoping that the US will let their natural born children stay to finish their educations. Why?

Because we are idiots, that's why.

Apparently, (I wouldn't know being stupid and all) ignorance is bliss, but you'd have to ask someone smart. Evidently, the world is flooded with smart people outside the US border.

*In my absolute best "Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel" impression*

You're lucky you know how to talk to them foreigners good enuff to be understood, otherwise you might not never have had your shoes tied, like me. Well, I'm guessing if you were born about 600 to 700 miles north, you'd be settin' purdy with an IQ of at least 100 ( I know i'd have me one of them IQ's all together bein I'm from tha south and ain't never had no IQ before). It's all about geographical location, nothing more. :rolleyes:
