I live in America. And I am going have to agree with all the other countries around me. That Americians for the most part are.... indeed. Ignorant and Lazy. But living in Boston it isn't as rampant as say... GEORGIA! orrrr........ ALABAMA!

Im only going to base lazy on unemployment demographics.

So before you refer to Georgia (my wonderful home state) and Alabama as lazy, you might choose to do research and see that Mass. unemployment stats arent a great deal better than Georgia or Alabama. :p

So, your hypothesis is that Americans are lazy and ignorant... You seem to be completely ignoring the fact that not everyone is ignorant and lazy.

You are ignorant.

Gee, I'm 47 and you know what when I was 21 I guess I wasn't as F@#*%# smart as you. What As#$%*@ college professor did you achieve this wealth of knowledge from? Maybe you and that guy from New Zealand who spent two whole years here, and is now the foremost authority on American culture should get together and write a book or something to expand the knowledge of the rest of us. I'm willing to kick in the crayons for you to get started.

You're 47 and spend your time writing symbols instead of swear words on a heavily censored internet bulletin board?

How smart you are has nothing to do with age. Sure you can gather more information over time, but you won't necessarily gain any ground in the intelligence stakes.
 
Wow, appearantly we don't need a NtB to nuke threads about SUVs and guns... :D

Metalguy 2 was cleary being sarcastic, and if there is one thing I've learned about hanging around in TPA, it's that not all Americans are lazy and ignorant, some are, others aren't, well, guess that goes up for the entire world population :hmm:

Meatleguy hasn't responded yet, If he was sarcastic I apologize. But basically you had two guys post on a thread about a guy looking to raise money for a "cool" truck. The sum of their adult experience with America was about "four years" and they were the foremost anthropological experts in the world on the subject of American Culture. Of course everything they had to say was the standard bumper sticker fodder. It just gets old. I don't run around the internet looking for threads that are unrelated to my topic to Hi-jack and slander people with.

HOLY CRAP!!!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE MAIL THIS MAN A PRIZE!!!!

Thank you, Vorago, for pointing out that no nation has the market cornered on stupidity, ignorance, laziness, etc, etc, etc. I'd hug you if you lived closer.
