My point is, try not to generalize. But I do agree with the notion that most Americans are stupid. Not all.

[Pu-239]

Yes we are dumbasses

True...I noticed at the last moment that he'd been here since the beginning and thus didn't deserve a poke.

Okay Bastard, take a deep breath and try reading the whole article. He was making a joke about promoting tourism in a way that the tourists could relate to easier, because very few visitors from the US ever leave London.

Americans are the third stupidest people on Earth. The second stupidest are the elbonians, who have no ability to think whatsoever.

The absolute stupidest people on Earth are Berman and Brega , who died tragically when their own major intestines, in a desperate attempt to save life and civilization, leaped up through theirthroat and choked them to death. (I wish)

[THEHOOLIGANJEDI]

Damn I'm embarresed to be called an American if that's the case. Then again, I'm embarressed practically all the time. ESP. with GWB in office.

[Shinova]

Personally I'm not that embarrassed to be an American.


I'm more embarrassed with the human race in general.

[Tsyroc]

So why the Middle East? Are people getting it confused with the UAE (I don't see how since I doubt the same morons have heard of it either)?

That's it.

UK: United Kingdom of Arab Emerites


Maybe it's because dumbasses in the U.S. have gotten used to not knowing where countries in the Middle East are in the last 10 years so now they assume any country whose location they don't know must be in the Middle East. Why else would anyone ask them?

[Alyeska]

Go fuck yourself Bastard.

[Colonel Olrik]

Well, on the other hand, they do have too many names.

United Kingdom,

Great Britain,

England (only a part of the U.K, but many people interchange the therms).

I mean, just imagine if all countries in the world had three denominations.

Geography classes would be even more boring.

{Yes, this was pointless and I'm very, very, drunk}

[Durandal]

Bastard, this is not a good way to begin your stay on the board.

[RadiO]

I don't know if many Britons go out of their way to use the United Kingdom moniker. Great Britain's a fave for a lot of folk. Or just Britain. So I'm not that surprised that people elsewhere don't use it.
Shit, I only started thinking of Britain as the UK because Combat Fleets of the World made that same switchover, so I have to keep finding the Royal Navy under U instead of G.

There's also Anarchy in the U.K. as a reason.

of course Hail Britainia kind of messes that up.

[Howedar]

If I got such a survey, I'd say that the UK was in the Middle East. It is one's civic duty to lie on surveys.

[The Dark]

*Sigh* There was no survey. The guy was using exaggerated humor to show how bad Britain's tourism advertising is. He was saying that while they advertise London, they don't advertise the United Kingdom, so most people don't hear about it. He was essentially making a point that the United Kingdom is heard about as little as a minor Middle Eastern country. Read the whole article, people...sheesh.

[Frank Hipper]

Arguments aside, I remember a survey taken several years ago in which a sizable percentage of Americans could not name the large North American country directly to the south.

The premise of this is silly. Americans are not stupid, they may be provincial and ignorant of some things in the world, but they are certainly not stupid.
