Alien Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Yep! you're right, Americans are to blame, ....end.

Harleyman Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 It's obvious that the OP had every intention of starting this thread with the purpose of Yank baiting. The title of the thread says it alone. He pulls up Jay Leno on U-Tube asking someone a general knowlededge question and when the dumb cluck didnt know the answer he titled the thread with the suggestion that 300 million are as dumb as that individual was. To me it was insulting and ignorant. But go ahead keep it up. I'll respond in kind every time. There are people on this forum who are fair and intelligent and there are people who are just plain ignorant both in their remarks and their general knowledge. Would I be fair and accurate in starting a thread titled "How dumb are the Sheffield Forum members" If Americans are as dumb as some like to suggest and given the fact that the country is still the most powerful country in the world what does that make the British or any other people?. Even dumber by comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 "How dumb are the Sheffield Forum members" About as dumb as the rest of the UK or even the USA for that matter. If Americans are as dumb as some like to suggest and given the fact that the country is still the most powerful country in the world what does that make the British or any other people?. Even dumber by comparison? Why are you so proud about living in what you perceive the most powerful country? What makes you think that people would want to live in a country just because it's powerful. Why do you equate power with brains? Why are you letting yourself get dragged down to the lowest common denominator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you equate power with brains? Why are you letting yourself get dragged down to the lowest common denominator? I'm asking a simple question. How did Anerica achieve the world status it did if Americans are regarded as being of lesser intelligence than the rest of mankind? Let me make it simpler. Would a Yale college professor have achieved his position if he were a high school drop out? Would an Olympic athlete have achieved his/her position if he/she was a couch potato? A simple answer is all that's required here. Nothing more. Nothing less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, you could ask why or how did Sheffield manage to lead the industrial revolution with it's metallurgy? The answer is a simple answer - geography and hard work.

Plus "savvy" and "know how" Can these two factors be associated with a degree of "intelligence" or can "dumb people" also enjoy these attributes See my point?

sccsux Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 BPs not much of a joke over here...I take that back, they are a joke, trying to squirm out of their responsibilities The same BP that is 40% owned by US residents? The same BP who used American contractors? The same BP that is "British" in name only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
