Stupidest nation?

And your basing your opinion on one typo? I'm not saying you're wrong, but surely you can find a better evidence than that.

I read somewhere that 15% of all americans can´t point out their own country on a world map if the names were removed.

stupidest isn't a word

you can find a poll or study to tell you anything you'd like.

but yeah, the US hasn't done much for the world with our combined intellect. no nobel prizes or advances in all fields of science and the arts. no winning business models. you know, nothing really of any value to the "heady" Europeans. they're so busy working hard and getting smart that their woman can't even find the time to shave their pits, and many of them can only jump in the shower about once a week! god bless 'em.

That's pretty poor evidence. It's one typo on one website.

What country are you from? Your last sentence is a sentence fragment. Does that make your country the "stupidest" on Earth? No, not necessarily. But I think it's pretty safe to say that you are an asshole.

Well.....this is all much ado about nothing. One reporter's finger hit the wrong button, he missed the right length by a tenth of a mile, and that makes the entire country "stupidest." Sure

How many people in Paraguay do you think know how long a marathon is?

Surely proof, if anybody ever needed it, that America is, pound for pound, the most dense and stupidest nation on planet Earth...by some distance.

The word of an ignorant 12 year old who doesn't know how or when to use an ellipsis.

Maybe the course was long.

That is a made up stat; if you said another country, I would agree, but I don't know anyone who could not point out the USA.

65% of statistics are made up on the spot.

as someone else posted on another thread. I think this might get my vote over a typo or not being able to point out their own country.

BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) -- A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.

....

Maybe there was a typo on the cage that said "Beer Cage" and he wanted a drink. Or there was a typo on the program and he thought it was a "Bear Festival"
