yes this may be manipulated, but still very embarrassing

do you really believe that such a video would be any different if filmed in any other country? do you not think that every intelligent answer was not edited out? puhleeze.

I'm embarrassed that you're embarrassed. It's embarrassing. To be embarrassed. By embarrassment. Oh great, now I'm embarrassed that I'm embarrassed that you're embarrassed.

I could answer every single one of those questions correctly.
Those morons do not represent me.
They purposely found idiots, and cut out all the people who had a clue.
Unfortunately as I have been saying for a long time, these idiots do exist in this country in numbers that scare me. They also vote, I'd venture to guess that the majority of those who were interviewed in that clip vote democrat.
Republicans tend to be better educated. I don't care if you don't like that statement, it is documented and true. People who do not graduate from high school tend to vote democrat or don't vote at all.

Yep, "people are stupid" The thing that most people don't realize is that it's a global epidemic.

Yes, it would be different, substantially different.

It's the Democrats getting the educated vote in recent elections. Except for big business types, the Republican appeal is to the religious fundamentalists, who tend to be less educated. Iraq has shifted the Independent vote to the Democrats, and the Republicans will need a Giuliani to broaden their appeal.

Giulani = spent force. His time as a sociofascist crusader has long passed.

I seriously doubt that the statement "Republicans tend to be better educated" has much is any merit to it.

So you think Democrats tend to be better educated?

Compared to Republicans and Democrats, libertarians tend to be more intelligent. Not just more educated, but able to do more with that education. Based on the current state of the government in America, that much should be obvious.

Of course, since I view georgraphy as a contact sport, I could be biased.

Sounds like Peter Sellers on the phone to the Russian president in Dr. Strangelove.

I'm a lot less embarrassed since I started drinking.

Im not sure intelligence or even education explains the level of ignorance of some people about what lies beyond the borders of the USA. Its certainly not a uniquely American problem, either.
