Who knows how many people he street interviewed at all before he found these dumbsh!ts. People like to do these street interviews in America as its a way to try and poke fun at the big guy on the block.

I can go anywhere in the world and find enough dimwits to do this.
But honestly, we are screwed. I can't tell you how downright ignorant of basic facts most of today's college grads are. There should be an exit exam.
Oddly enough, the less knowledgable they are about the world and history, the more likely they are to be left wing. A connection?

Here is a decent book on the subject.

"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
"If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"
"Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"
It's simpler than you think.
I could be completely wrong"

no ****ing doubt...and just go to your average tkd/karate/kung fu school on the corner to see it in action.Originally Posted by Black Jack II
you can read the first part of that book at amazon...maybe it was that they dwelled on history and historical facts that made me think of this one:
"A generation that ignores history has no past...and no future"

I'd say a false prejudice. You're going to get just as many dimiwits on the right side as you will on the left side, It's not in relation to how smart you are, more so the way you think and were raised.
I can taste colors.
i wonder what the results would be if they did that in britain or somewhere else...
i also wonder how many people who knew the answers to the question got edited out.

you can find people ignorant of all kinds of stuff everywhere in the world
to evaluate a country you have to look at its leaders
and with that said.....we're screwed?
A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

to be fair, if i was bombing down to 7-11 and some guy started asking me random trivia about canada and the world i might mess up. easy questions are the worst when you are on the spot.

What I wonder is what the result would be if they went to a hood somwhere where they dont enough have school books or the books are outdated by 30 yrs, like in many parts of the country. Probably be even worse.

So learning history will make one hate gays, weed, and funding for education and support war?
