Ask an "Amurican"

it is ancient!

It is if everyone who reads the news knows it. I do not know anyone who did not know she was a contributer even before she actually became one, save people who never read the news.
Plus a month is quite a long time in public awareness time.

^ It’s your news. Not international news. News about Sarah Palin falls beneath a lot of radars internationally other than the general consensus of “oh yeah. that dumb bitch”

Also… you’re suggesting people actually READ Fox news? Pfft!.. people who watch fox news can’t read :stuck_out_tongue:

Jesus Christ, all I said was I didn’t know Sarah Palin contributed to Fox News, and now there’s some kind of conspiracy that I don’t read/watch the news.

ffs

if thou doth not watcheth FOX… THOU HAVETH NO NEWS!!! :pirate:

doest not watch … thou hast *

a thousand fair and balanced thanks upon thee Burbinator!

What is it like being thought by Euros as a stupid American even though we all know they’re just being really jellyous!

I hate prejudices of all kinds. When most uneducated Germans see an American on TV doing something stupid, they laugh out loud: “Hahaaaa stupid Americans!”
But when they see an American doing or saying something intelligent, they mumble: “You know, for an American, he is fairly decent.”

Always implying that Americans are a bunch of dumbasses. And, what is worse, implying that nothing SO DUMB could EVER happen in Germany.

Uh, hellooo? Need a history lesson fellow Germans? God, even with history aside, many German politicians are an embarrassment for the whole nation anyway. So what the fuck are we laughing about? Grrrr sometimes I hate my own people sooo much…

Well, at least the stupid ones that buy every bullshit the TV and the BILD magazine (equivalent to THE SUN or FOX NEWS on paper, sort of) show them.

I mean, just because some private TV channels often show hilarious scenes from American TV shows, many Germans now think that the people on the “Jerry Springer Show” are representative of the American people. It’s the old “haha we are better than them” attitude, and most of us are falling for it, apparently. Sad, very sad.

Danson:

That’s okay. Americans, by and large, are stupid. Stupid people are fine (I’m stupid in a lot of subjects). It’s the arrogance of many Americans (“It’s the best country on Earth!”) coupled with stupidity that causes, in my opinion, this stereotype to exist.

And, before anyone says that arrogance+stupidity is not a part of the existence of this stereotype needs to get more educated about the arrogant stupidity of too many Americans.

But then again, arrogant stupidity is not simply an American trait. I see it in other nationalities as well. As you say, Danson, about many Germans.

Here’s a test to see if you’re arrogant and stupid:

Do you laugh, smirk, chuckle, or otherwise at this:
“You know those black box recorders they have on planes? The ones that are virtually indestructible? Why don’t they make the ENTIRE PLANE like that?”

No, I rather facepalm.

Did I pass? :stuck_out_tongue:

I admit, I am also arrogant and stupid in many different subjects. But I try not to be and am not content with this status quo. Dunno if that makes me any better - I just feel better that way.

How’s it like having to go to church every sunday, or being a social outcast?

It’s nice :slight_smile:

Church isn’t a burden; it’s a privilege.

I agree.

I don’t know. I don’t live in a country where that is true.

So… back to the “ask an amurican” topic. I assume by the poor spelling it means this is where you ask stupid moron americans a question about why they are stupid morons. But I could be wrong.

Anyway, I figured now would be a good as time as any to attempt a ‘topic’ request.

Is it true that only 4 out of 10 Americans believe in evolution?

Stop posting shitty questions.

Yes, and I don’t give a fuck because I’m not one of them.

How many people in your country believe in evolution compared to those who don’t?

No, you’re right. The OP, Garthbartin, likes to play the bitch so he can avoid getting flamed by the “lol stoopid amuricans” bandwagon (more like a fucking train.)
