FoxyCryptid 4,330 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 Just ignore them, they've been inhaling to many sulfur fumes(or have been sticking lit M-80s in their ears, I can never tell which with this lot). stupid numbnuts, ever heard of 1776? "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untitled Goose Q 5,137 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 Can't say I have ever been a huge fan of Americans in general (although it should really be USAians or something, America is not just USA). I will say that induviduals can be fine, just not always. But it's not just USA with the idiots. I find that most people seem that way...

Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 I didn't know the stupid was this bad. It is spreading at an alarming rate and needs to be contained before it is all too late. My course of action is injecting people with knowledge to combat this deadly disease. We must prepare the vaccines of knowledge using the needle of truth by the doctors of justice to combat this disease that is ignorance. xD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrashy 2,800 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 I pray to all things sacred that those people were simply trolling. However, knowing the levels of stupidity many of my fellow countrymen are capable of, I get the distinct feeling my prayer is in vain. although it should really be USAians or something, America is not just USA Mmmyeah...no. We'd have to be conquered by China before we'd ever consider calling ourselves USAsians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo 297 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 This .gif sums up my reaction also. Seriously, Nation, we need to fix up all the shit that is going on here. We need to educate the public so that they are not so god damn stupid! It is outrageous that there are actually people who think this shit! And these same people are often the ones who go off spouting, "America is the greatest country on the planet in every single category. Fuck you if you disagree." except they do it with much worse grammar, especially if its in the written word. I love my country as much as the next guy, but seriously, you have to admit that as a whole, America is on a decline. Big time. Happy Birthday America, lets hope our people get less stupid this year. 2 I play the friendly, fearsome, fiery griffin characters.GildaShy is best ship.I AM AN 18 YEAR OLD BOY!Please stop mistaking me for a girl....

Remi 1,309 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 I suppose that Americans are viewed by other countries as incompetents not because they all are, if not they're are some people who are so incredibly stupid, that people suppose they must all be like that, even though, as Freedan had mentioned, there are just some people who are too stupid.

ReGen 1,466 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 So... They really think 2013 is how old the U.S. is? Like, in years? America got its independence in 0000? ...They can't be serious, right?

Gigapony 650 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 I mean let us be honest what did you expect with people who cannot spell or pronounce alluminium correctly? To be fair, you haven't spelled aluminium correctly either. As for the original topic, yeah... that's alarming. One or two people I can forgive, but that's WAY too many people thinking the USA is 2,013 years old. I knew that history isn't a lot of people's strong suit, and I'm fine with that, but I'd figure something like this'd be common sense. I hope to all the gods there ever were that this is all some elaborate troll. But I doubt it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo 297 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 (edited) I feel like if our founding fathers were here to see our country today they would do a few things: 1. Freak out because of our technology. 2. Cry because of the state of the country. In that order. The way America's founders outlined the country, if we had stuck to that, while maintaining ACTUAL PROGRESS (abolishing slavery, equal rights, everyone can vote, etc. etc.) we would be a much better country. But in all honesty, no one is perfect.

It's like they don't care about us, that's why they lie and waste our tax money. I also dislike when politicians say things like "America is a Christian nation", or "America was founded on Judeo-Christian values". Even though it clearly wasn't, and there are documents that clearly say so, but politicians are liars... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modphase 1,271 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 (edited) You know, I got a real nice laugh out of this thread. No, not because of all of the Twitter posts. I got a good laugh out of all the people here who think these people are actually serious. It's quite obvious that the people here have come together only for a good ole' mass slap on the knee. In other words, they just wanted to rustle some jimmies, and obviously, it worked, evident by all the people here on this thread actually taking it seriously. My proof? Sometimes people act stupid as a prank. Look at the messages a bit more closely. You can also see other signs of fake stupidity there, such as the two people saying America is 2013 years young (as apposed to old), the girl saying that God made America, the overuse of exclamation marks (and 1's as in Jazmine's case), and all the messages being almost identical for the most part. You don't see, for instance, long explanations of people's experience living in the country, why they like/don't like it, etc, just small, similar messages. But in all honesty, I'm just going to say that no grown person, no matter how dumb they may be, is that really that stupid. Nobody. And even if there was, there wouldn't be enough of them to all be posting messages on the same place. It's a joke people. Just a couple of peeps who want to rustle some jimmies. Honestly, when you really think about it, who are the unintelligent ones? The people pretending to be dumb, or the people who are gullible enough to actually believe they're being serious? ...and I thought I was bad at taking a joke.

SpadesOfDarkness 19 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 I hope those people know that the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. This is the reason why other countries hate America!

Golurk 468 July 4, 2013 Share July 4, 2013 ...Is this seriously what we've come to? I mean, I understand having pride in your nation, but this?

I would have laughed at this as well, actually, if I didn't actually know people like this in the real world. There are really people this dense. These people do exist, don't count it out as not being real yet. Although I can definitely see a few of them as being trolls, but I bet some are for real. Still makes us look bad either way. Way to call everyone stupid, btw. Also, why would you see fracing explanations about how long they have been in the country/ peoples opinions. It's twitter.

JeanHover 326 July 5, 2013 Share July 5, 2013 (edited) Meh, I live in Taiwan, a good hemisphere away from all that idiocy. I would assume it's a joke, because honestly I won't believe that that many people are dumb enough to think that the year is how long America has existed. Oh, wait, yeah, it's just trolls. I'm backed up by Inquisitr when I say that this is just a bunch of attention-seeking people copy+pasting their way to retweets and followers. Really though, it would take a less-than-practical person to think that these people are serious. I mean honestly, so many of the messages are the same, and everybody knows that we don't count our years in that way. TL;DR: You are wrong by assuming that these people are all just idiots. It's a joke.

America has been through much worse times, (The Great Depression, The Cold War, The Civil War, etc.) it's just that people want to seem smart by going against obvious facts and saying that that U.S. is in such an awful state. I live in Taiwan, and I miss the hell out of the U.S. It's an awesome place to live, with nice people and the same crime rate as where I am right now. Also DAMN the food there is good. Our government, though slow and bad at making decisions at times, *ahem* congress *cough* is perfectly able to maintain that. You just see the bad things about the country and act like they are the reason that you experience negative emotions. Pessimism does not make you look smart and realistic, and it solves nothing. Try the opposite.
