I think it's stupid of one who judge all people for what a few people do.

Well honestly I often joke about the fact that the americans voted for Bush and therefore must be idiots if you want to know.

Of course it's just bullshit! It's a pathetic sampling of American people who were chosen to be on the video simply because of their individual stupidity. My point being that this video could be duplicated to make any nation's citizens look stupid. You could make an Australian version, an Indian version, a Canadian version, a Chinese version... There are stupid and uninformed people in every single part of the world. This one just happened to be a mock of the American people, but I would hope that anyone watching the video is smart enough himself to take it for what it is, which is a JOKE, and NOT REALITY!

Yes that is true, though to a swede as my self that looks very funny as such knowledge is compulsury to anyone that has ever gone to school.

I have to admit that our school systems are definitely lacking in education as far as current events and world cultures. I think that they have gotten better since I was in school (a million years ago!), but they are still behind those of many foreign countries. I can see that just by the posts here from young people of different nationalities. I'm NOT saying that Americans are stupid, by any means, but maybe our education system should take some hints from those of foreign countries such as Sweden.

I guess you can generalize with a mere sample out of xxx population and every country has it's own stupidity but you must work it out and become aware of what's going around you and around the world.
