uh its a shame that you non- US people have been drawn into the image of media and hollywood and sees the US as they do. its true many may be ignorant (and am embarrasing amount proud of it) but those are the ones me and my friends insult. the good many of us are intelligent, i am 15 and can speak latin, fence, basic buisness knoledge, am in a band, broadsword fight and much more. i know many who can do even more. the perception of us as ignborant is biased by a crappy ass media.
