1. There's a "Lebanon" in the US somewhere.. and knowing how half of the Americans barely know the geography of their own damn country, I'm pretty sure many Americans don't know the country Lebanon.. Many have never heard of it and have no idea where it is located..

I didn't direct it at you. If I had directed it at you, I would have said so. You see, I put a space in between the two comments to separate them. The first comment is related to the quote. The second one wasn't, and therefore, distanced from the first comment.

As for Lebanon, yes there is one in the US, in Kansas and has a population of 264. My apartment complex may have as many people living in it as this town. So don't bash any Americans for not knowing that there's a Lebanon in Kansas. There's also one in Tennessee, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.

I just realized that no one noticed that I called Portuguese a Romance language. I bet most Americans would say that a Romance language is one that will help you get laid, hence why French and Italian are also called Romance languages.

And just to throw it out there, the other two main languages besides the 3 listed above are Spanish and Romanian. There's actually a 6th but it's not an officially recognized language, just a regional one.

Didn't bash anyone for not knowing Lebanon in Kansas. If I was bashing anyone, its in general to those who know nothing outside their US borders. They have no idea what Lebanon is when I say I'm from the country Lebanon, therefore confusing it with some other "Lebanon" in the States. And as you said, there's a few of them in the US.

Americans in general have the image in other parts of the world, of being stupid. Everything is relative. There are stupid people in every country of course so that's crap and prejudice. But it is true I think that general knowledge of the world, geography, history and other countries is lower with the average Americans. By the reactions in this thread I see even Americans themselves are aware of that.

I love how you make assumptions and put words into my mouth! Never did I say I'm cultured, or that your stupid, or that everyone is like the Miss America pageant lol.

Of course i'm generalizing when I say this, but its quite well known that a portion of the US population is not aware of the Middle East and countries like Lebanon etc. This is pretty much a fact, not bashing or saying anyone's stupid. Considering that your country is the world power, you would think some education systems would be better than they actually are. Anyways, this really isn't a topic of discussion for this forum.

It's easy to take a hundred or so people from a country of 310 million who (sadly) don't know how many sides a triangle has, and extrapolate that to "all Americans are dumb." However, you don't see anyone getting any question right, so some heavy editing was definitely involved. It's like taking videos of some awful drivers in America and saying "therefore, all Americans are terrible drivers."

Also, the average education level in America is still better than at least 3/4 of the world.

And as I said before, everything is relative. There are stupid people everywhere. Also it's not necessarily about people being stupid or about being uneducated. It's just interest. They can be smart, and intelligent in other things. They just arent interested and just do not have a broad general knowledge of 'things'.

Why in America there are a lot of people who do not know about general knowledge like this about the world. I dont know. Maybe because USA is a big country, prosperous and strong/powerful. They don't really 'care' about other countries, nor depend on other countries, nor do they value knowledge of other countries. Like JamStone said, egocentric.

For example in Europe we care a lot about the world, about other nations, languages, world history, geography. I mean kids at school in most European countries must learn at least 2 more languages besides their mother tongue. They must learn the basic history of the whole world and need to know every country, capital and other info of every country in the world. We think it is important.

I agree that many Americans are unaware of their own surroundings as well as global matters, and their is an egocentric perspective on our part regarding world matters, as we have the attitude that since we are the primary world power, the rest of the world has to learn about us.

There are myriad reasons as to why many Americans know little of their history as well as general world matters. I blame our over infatuation with sports.:lol

Seriously though, so much of textbook history even here in Texas is romanticized to the point of absurdity. Look at Texas heroes like Jim Bowie. Bowie is viewed as a texas hero, when he was really a scumbag slave runner, land swindler, and dishonest prick who only ended up in Texas because he had a bounty on his head in Louisiana.

Bowie would make a great politician today.:lol

In fact, I'm going to brush up on my Latin because I know some people from Latin America.

I hope this is a joke because English is one of the hardest languages to learn. In fact, the Romance languages (except for French from my understanding) are fairly easy to learn because Latin was very structured with few exceptions to the rules. The structure has been passed on as the languages evolved.

However, the reason Americans assume everyone should speak English is because for the longest time international business was done in dollars as it was the strongest currency and English was the chosen language for business. You want to deal with American businesses, you better speak the "proper" language and deal in the "proper" currency.

Plus, we just kick ass in general.

If English is so easy to learn why do people call 50 Cent "Fitty"? It's FIF-TEE Cent.

I hope this is a joke because English is one of the hardest languages to learn. In fact, the Romance languages (except for French from my understanding) are fairly easy to learn because Latin was very structured with few exceptions to the rules. The structure has been passed on as the languages evolved.

LOL I'm thinking you are the one kidding.. Seriously? You actually disagree when that guy says English is hard to learn? Wow LMAO. English is pretty much the EASIEST language to learn, very simple and there aren't too many complications.

On the other hand, languages like Arabic, French are known to be some of the tougher languages.

However, the reason Americans assume everyone should speak English is because for the longest time international business was done in dollars as it was the strongest currency and English was the chosen language for business. You want to deal with American businesses, you better speak the "proper" language and deal in the "proper" currency.

Plus, we just kick ass in general.

He said I hope this is a joke with regards to what he quoted above..

My thoughts were that he really was kidding, hence the "LOL I'm thinking you are the one kidding.." I really couldn't believe my eyes although I was 99% sure he was joking cuz in no way is someone that stupid hahaha

MAn, most Americans are horrible with geography and worldly knowledge. Even US geography. Most don't even know where Albuquerque is, let alone know that New MExico is a state in the US.

A designed plan, thanks to the public fool system and those behind the scenes.

Nah, it depends.
To me for example the easiest language is polish. I was learning it few years though but I'm speaking it over 20 years now and I'm not gonna change that.
