I think, correct me if i am wrong and i don't want to sound ignorant, but computer caffes are very popular in the middle east and many of them get their internet acces from that
Not all American's are stupid... here's proof, take the test:
thats stupid
my results:
"You have an impressive understanding of the world for an American. It is likely that you feel intellectually isolated in your home country, and often have to hide your opinions from others. Deep down, you realise that your country is the single biggest threat to world peace in modern times, but you have not yet summoned up the courage to emigrate."
Hehe, I have an amusing story that somewhat relates to this topic.
I went to the US for a week and spent a day in Elementary school and four days in high school. Okay, this is the best part. I'm from England, and the kids at the elementary school knew that. however, one of them asked me,
"What language do speak in England?" 🙄
Of course, this can be put down to being young... Now for the shocking part. A day later, in the high school English class I was sitting at one of those one part seat/desks and the guy on my left leans over while the teacher's talking about the book they're studying and says,
"So is English like, like, the primary language in England?" 😉
He was what, 16, and he didn't know that we spoke English in England! He wasn't even trying to be funny or anything!
Aw, man, that was both depressing and hilarious at the same time. 😄
Originally posted by DeVi| D0doIf you are American, the only way you got this score is by doing the quiz 50 times, and memorizing the correct answers. You need to approach the world in a less aggressively competitive way and learn to live with your inadequacies, rather than seeking to feel through bigotry and false national pride.

Quiz is a joke I guess. I actually had to guess on one of them though. The Ann Oakely one.

No, it's an attempt to get the economies of those countries up and running. By giving people the oppurtunity to train on computers it makes it much much easier for them to get jobs.

Also, I got 20 out of 20 on that quiz and got this message;
You are clearly an intellectual giant. Or possibly you found a way to cheat. Either way, congratulations.

i don't think americans care too much because we aren't like all the other countries that have twenty neighbors and everyone hates eachother. The only problem we have with a country that borders us is Mexico and their legions of economic refugees that flood our welfare lines

I got 19 / 20.. lol the one I got wrong was the water freezing point.. cuz it wasnt farenheit :/ I forgot that celsius reads lower than farenheit in regards to hot and cold
Originally posted by TricksterI also just noticed they give different results depending on whether you say you're American or not. If you don't say you're American, they basically just tell you in one sentence how you did. If you do say you're American, they write you an essay on why you suck, or if you got a good score how you obviously cheated.
Meh, they weren't that difficult. I'll admit I had to pause for the Annie Oakley one too - til I realised she was the only woman. 😉
