@atomicpoet Sorry Chris, but I lived in the US. I've met countless of Americans. Worked with them, taught them. A lot of them are stupid. They are ignorant and relish in that ignorance. Being smart and educated is something that is reviled by many.
Don't get me wrong, I met many brilliant people too. I count some of them as my best friends. They agree with me, by the way.

@atomicpoet What you describe is the fact that Americans don't care about the rest of the world, it's background noise for them. And that too leads to actual ignorance, not feigned one.
@David @atomicpoet Yeah, ignorance about the rest of the world is the default state in the USA. Our media barely talks about other countries and few of us seek out info on them. We're not faking it. We really don't have any idea what's going on in most of the world.
@rowyn The worst part is the only thing most Americans seem to know about the rest of the world is wars. It was crazy this past month, how every time two teams played, US people watching would only reference past wars between the two countries when there were some.
