Yes. We are all that stupid. How much more stupid are Australians for doing whatever we tell them?

Enough anti-American stuff. Look at your own nation before calling Americans stupid. Ass.

I find that the stupid:normal ratio is more or less the same for most countries

Hey, I wasn't calling Americans stupid, I was merely asking the question. Our government is a completely different thing and not in question here. Nor was I seriously implying Americans are stupid.
Are Americans capable of lightening up?

I thought it was a funny video anyway.

Yeah, you're probably right. But for some reason the world loves to think Americans are stupid (maybe ignorant is a better word here). Most people I know have a 'stupid American' story to tell, which usually involve unfathomable ignorance and lack of an ability to 'catch on'. How did this stereotype evolve?

Keep following me Tchocky. I'm not going to change, and you might when you gain some responsibility.
ie have a job, mortgage, children of your own, not take money from your parents or the gov't (even the Irish gov't).

It seems that every other thread is an anti-American screed and I for one am fed-up with it. Like I said look in the mirror before anywhere else.

Not realy. How would you feel if everyone was after your British way of life?
Let us know. I can certainly whack you folks.

I'd probably smile and take a joke, because most of its probably true. Not call someone an ass because they posted a comedy video about my country. Lighten up.

Ya know if Boris was the first, or the tenth or even the 100th. But Boris isn't any of those.

History is lost on you I guess. If the US were to go back to our shores how long do you think it would take the Germans to attack?

@Wastegate
Man you need to take a chill-pill!

Seriously I don't think Americans are at all stupid,you could ask me where places are in America and I wouldn't have a clue. I think that Americans are probably easier targets because they seem to love a TV camera. Show one to me and I'd run a mile, because I'd know it was a wind-up.
