THEY'RE SELF AWARE

i hate him because he just stands around talking to people for hours upon hours then selects the stupid ones and goes SEE THIS IS AMERICA if you stand anywhere and talk to everyone for 6 hours you will get enough stupid people for a segment
#6 to #1 - lordsnow (05/07/2015) [-]
I think that's the point. We're allowing ourselves to become a nation of uneducated idiots that will believe in any outrageous or blatant falsehood out there. Trust me I've had several jobs where casual talk was part of my job and this is actually pretty accurate, even when I was in college a good percentage didn't know even the most basic facts about any subject. There was one kid that thought the Suez Canal was literally in the middle of Africa and kept insisting even after he was told he was wrong. There were people that could barely read.

yup

Did... did you even watch the full video?

At the end, Bill O'Reilly literally asks him if he just edits out the right answers and only shows wrong ones and Watters says no. He keeps the ratio of right-answers to wrong-answers the same from his interviews to the chopped-down version. Otherwise it would be like 10 minutes long.

Watch the full thing before you make stupid, and wrong, comments.

Wouldn't really make a great segment if they asked a bunch of easy questions and then everyone got them right. Its O'Reilly, you realize the heavy biased that you're getting into before you even start watching it.

It makes me sad that these people live on the same island as me.

It's good for keeping sun off your neck man. This is probably the only acceptable time to have it up.

we actually have ok to less than ok public schools, our students are **** tho
#9 to #5 - winglit (05/07/2015) [-]
NOOOOOOOPE, this is the average voting stock plucked from any place of higher learning in our country, we dont reward learning here its all about who listens well to their liberal teachers, spout off about racism and socialism at every turn, math class, science, history, all my teachers were very vocal liberals who called republicans racists openly in class... art teacher sent me to the corner (in high school) because I told her to stop dragging politics of the iraq war into art class
User avatar #12 to #9 - pointblankhits (05/07/2015) [-]
I don't get that whatsoever, Like if you were to ask me about any semi major war or big world event even the most retarded people in Ireland would know it, An as for your cunt liberal teachers, I don't know that pisses me off beyond belief How the **** did the black guys not know what the American civil war was about?
#13 to #12 - winglit (05/07/2015) [-]
doesnt fit the narrative they want, if white people freed the slaves then whos the bad guy?
User avatar #14 to #13 - pointblankhits (05/07/2015) [-]
They didn't free themselves that's for sure, If I asked an Irish person how we got free of the British after nearly 800 years and they didn't know I'd deck them in the mouth, And anyone of my lads would to, It's ******* disrespectful
User avatar #11 - darktoucan (05/07/2015) [-]
why is it that the American people know so little about history and life in general
#27 to #11 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
because we like to make fun of dumb people, so that's the ones you always see in our media
#54 to #11 - starlordoriginal (05/08/2015) [-]
why is it that everyone feels the need to generalize all Americans as one thing or another.
#62 to #54 - anon (05/08/2015) [-]
Sorry but we kind of don't need to. Reporter said it himself: he wasn't even looking for dumb looking people and did not edit out the right answers. He also said that he had 10 minutes worth of material with the bad ones. So in this case at least we did not even need to generalize. Some people picked @ random, almost all uneducated and stupid as bricks. I know more about USA history than them and I'm from Poland.
User avatar #55 to #54 - darktoucan (05/08/2015) [-]
because you all make it so damn easy
#56 to #55 - starlordoriginal (05/08/2015) [-]
you just generalized again. I will admit, though it pains me, many of the people in my country don't care to learn it's history, and they are definitely not the brightest people. I'm just a little tired of people assuming that I'm an idiot simply because I was born in and choose to live in the country that I love.
#58 to #56 - kanedam ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
well... in average its more realistic to meet an american who's got only very little knowledge.
User avatar #57 to #56 - darktoucan (05/08/2015) [-]
so easy
User avatar #20 to #11 - goodhomer ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
Standardized testing.
User avatar #21 to #20 - darktoucan (05/08/2015) [-]
Canadians have it too and we know our **** for the most part
User avatar #22 to #21 - goodhomer ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
Canada has like 3 standardized test.

America has like 100.
Not real numbers
User avatar #23 to #22 - darktoucan (05/08/2015) [-]
i pray for your countries people
#31 to #23 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
"your countries people"
User avatar #32 to #31 - darktoucan (05/08/2015) [-]
dont be a cunt
#34 to #32 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
I just find it funny how you said that in a thread about being stupid.
User avatar #35 to #34 - darktoucan (05/08/2015) [-]
everybody makes mistakes everybody has those days besides fj is the last place i proof read anything
User avatar #60 to #35 - yugiohkris ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
I*
User avatar #24 to #23 - goodhomer ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
I'm Canadian yo, how do you think I know so much?
User avatar #25 to #24 - darktoucan (05/08/2015) [-]
i will never assume someone is American ever again
#7 - tapeboy (05/07/2015) [-]
the music ******* stops when the black guy can't answer the civil war question.
#28 to #7 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
AND HE ******* TELLS HIM THAT HE SHOULD KNOW THAT ONE

although that was pretty funny, it was not appropriate coming from a ******* news representative
#33 to #28 - tapeboy (05/08/2015) [-]
i disagree. i believe knowing the history of your country should be a ******* standard. me make immigrants learn it before they get a visa or green card why should we expect less from our natural born citizens?
#36 to #33 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
I believe that too, but still, that's kinda ****** up IMO
#41 to #36 - tapeboy (05/08/2015) [-]
being politically correct kills great nations
#42 to #41 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
So what he did in the video bettered this country?
#44 to #42 - tapeboy (05/08/2015) [-]
no but it pointed out the flaws in it
#45 to #44 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
but that does nothing... a bunch of older just seen a bunch of stupid college kids on the news. big whoop. there are always gonna be people like those college kids when you live in a country as "free" as america
#46 to #45 - tapeboy (05/08/2015) [-]
maybe they will hold their own children to a higher standard. it is vitally important to know what happened in the past or the past will be twisted to suit a future someone else wants.
#47 to #46 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
You know what they say, the past repeats itself or whatever.

btw, im starting my own country and gonna declare ourselves independent of america. you in?
#48 to #47 - tapeboy (05/08/2015) [-]
hell yeah! you got some land?
#49 to #48 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
Nope, but I have a mini van... Well, my mom does, but I'm sure she'll let me borrow it!
#50 to #49 - tapeboy (05/08/2015) [-]
not sure if you are being patronizing or serious at this point.
#51 to #50 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
#dead #serious #bro

2006 Kia Sadona. It shall be the official ride of our new country. **** is cash.
#52 to #51 - tapeboy (05/08/2015) [-]
k im in
#53 to #52 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
okay, im gonna draw up some plans and do a little research on how we can get this **** going. ill contact you when i have more info. oh, and i could be going to jail tomorrow, so it could be several months before you hear back from me. im really not even playing. funny how a country so proud of its freedom runs on the money it gets from imprisonment
#64 - anon (05/08/2015) [-]
Wow, I know more about US history than the average US person does, and I'm British

Even though the US has feck all in the way of history, sub 300 years to remember
#65 to #64 - anon (05/08/2015) [-]
If you think this represents average US residence then you have a lot to learn. It's called cherry picking my anonymous comrade.
#59 - klephto (05/08/2015) [-]
Whether anyone won the Cold War has been debated ever since it ended. Not really sure why the guy was deemed correct, but I assume it's because from a subjective point of view American's would like to think they won?
#43 - jdbbx (05/08/2015) [-]
man I know more about this than them and I'm a British guy living in France

though beach goers may not be the best demographic

also, blaming everything on the French after they gave you such a nice statue
#67 to #43 - noonelikesdan ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
and helped them gain independence.
#69 to #67 - jdbbx (05/08/2015) [-]
yeah!

#8 - tapeboy (05/07/2015) [-]

>>#28
User avatar #37 to #30 - xxjmacxx ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
Did you just direct me to a quote posted after mine assuming I would've known it would be posted?
#38 to #37 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
Just wanted you to see what I said about it
User avatar #39 to #38 - xxjmacxx ONLINE (05/08/2015) [-]
Oh I didn't even see that was you. lol
#40 to #39 - fiberlight (05/08/2015) [-]
It's cool
User avatar #68 - subaqueousreach (05/08/2015) [-]
>Asks black person what the civil war was about
>"I have no idea"
