Do you know what 'disingenuous' means?

In any case, have you guys noticed what is rollin by in the bottom?
"Man thinks of ex-girlfriend during sex" "Gym-freak wears sleeveless during subzero temperatures." ect ect... It is quite funny.
But since I don't know this channel/program, have they hired people or what?
Come on guys lighten up ~:rolleyes:
lol! that was amusing....but why are people so obsessed with the dumb american? i've met loads, and they were as smart as your normal european
you normal europeans ~;) We kinda love america really, and love hurts. It is just stereotype bashing fun, nothing serious, and when we are serious they don't get the clue anyway.Quote:

Unfortunately, the dimmest ones vote.
Just keep making the machines really confusing like in Florida.Quote:

That is very true. European countries can't even touch the depth in debate and political philosophy that graces the united states, it would be an achievement to find 1 book about a (ex)ruling president over here. Credit where it belongs, but we still look a whole lot better ~;)Quote:

this is my own punishment for trying to be subtle (in my description) and just show a video i found funny.

Yes Galloway was completely trounced in the "debate" with American politicians .~D ~D ~D If a gobshite like him can do it then why can't other Europeans ?
Oh and take a look in your local bookstore or library , you will find dozens of books on ex-presidents and a few on the current one as well .
It would be a hell of an achievement to find any in a place that doesn't have any books though Frag , I found it nearly impossible to find any at the local chip-shops , but I still found one that had a book on George Washington ~;)
That reminds me of that segment This Hour Has 22 Minutes used to, called 'Talking to Americans'. Ol' Rick Mercer used to go around and ask Americans questions about Canada, doing things like getting them to sign petitions for the removal of the Canadian practice of putting their elders on ice floes and casting them off to sea. He also got Dubya to congratulate the Canadian Head of Government, President Poutine, on his "double double". Good stuff.
I like the old guy:
Turn it into a [insert unoffensive pleasant adjective here] glass crater.
yaaaayyyyyy!!! I knew I wasn't alone in the world!!!!!!
:charge: ~:cheers:
Agree. Go to any major university in the nation, and I guarantee you won't hear that. Remember, I said MAJOR, not just any college.Quote:

Anyway, I believe I beat you to that. I'm well versed in the basics of World Geography. But, then again...I'm not really an American. Not yet, at least. I'm just an underprivileged young, ambitious, perfectly stereotypically Asian legal immigrant... :P
I live in America, but I'll be the last to disagree with the fact that we have some stupid people here. Our public schooling is not as good as it should be at all.
We have two years of Texas history (state history) and two years of American history. In my opinion it's rediculous.
That is why I have to research everything I need to know by myself.
