As scary as it is funny. I *hope* this does not represent most Americans, however, in my, limited, experience it does,


*edit*
Ok, after reading the replies I am adding this:

*Disclaimer* This comedy video does not necessarily represent the American population as a whole and no one should use this video to make decisions about typical American intelligence. No conclusions about Letum's views on the typical intelligence of the American population should be made from this post.

I could walk around your country, ask people simple questions, take the stupid answers, and show them on TV too.

I *hope* that your stupid post does not represent most British, however, in my, limited, experience it does,

Yes, the average American is pretty dumb, lol. But don't kid yourself, the same thing can be found in any country, especially yours.

OMG! We are so ready for some nut job to lead us away like silly naive girls.

But thats how we like it here in the US, "Dont bother me I'm living my life just leave me out of it"

"As long as it dont affect ME "



But true too ignorance can be found anywhere.

Have a nice daay

I *hope* that your above statement does not consist of a personal attack on tihs forum, because that would be contrary to the acceptable use policy and would require me to become unpleasant.

Whos handing out the jackass pills around here, and where can I get some?

Oh, and just out of curiosity.....is there any difference between saying "Americans are _______" and...oh, I dont know, .."Black people are ________"?

Or, I guess what im asking is, ....is this thread somewhat prejudice or even racist?

Just asking.

I've often thought how nice it was that these Subsim forums had a such a great mixture of people from all over the world and of all backgrounds who get along reasonably well. I guess im kinda disapointed at this thread.

Just asking.

The offending segment of the phrase is 'your stupid post'. As I stated before there is a difference between:

1. Americans are stupid.

and

2. Your post is stupid.

The first targets a largely faceless group of people. The second alienates an individual. Do understand that, although I do not find myself or other Americans, generally, to be any more or less foolish than any other nationality, they are not, in fact, a collective racial or ethnic group. Moreover, the United States is an amalgamation of races and ethnicities. As such, racial or ethnic slurs do not apply in this context. If anything, this is a case of the cultural bias of superiority, which the SubSim user agreement does not cover. Accordingly, I leave these type of statements alone.

It is my hope that this post has succeeded in answering your questions.

So is SubSim sort of like the United Nations?

No. SubSim is a website devoted to the playing, development and discussion of submarine simulations. The United Nations has no such designs.
