ahahah
Yeah most people in America are stupid. They just need to read.
lol ” the hell with him and everybody that looks like him ” this is funny, and i cant believe people are so freaking stupid
These questions are loaded. There isn’t a good answer to the questions they were asking!! Let not forget about WTC!! Freedom isn’t free!
As expected of Americans. Classic example. Keep up the “good” work, Americans. Dear “Unfair”, I agree with you that the answers were not that good, but how they responded and what they said after comprehending the answers (if they actually did) is quite obvious and tells us a lot. If you are not given a good answer, find one! =) Our hearts go out to the victims of 9/11. Peace.
unfair is one of them!
they probably picked the most stupidist ppl though, i am sure they got way more better ones taht were good…
Jay Leno does the same thing periodically on the Tonight Show. Basically you ask 500 people some questions and you’ll get 10 or 20 that will say some really stupid stuff. Makes for great TV.
The problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? Maybe if we weren’t all misinformed, we would be a little more knowledgeable on these topics. Oh wait, that would never work, cause Americans are too arrogant. Hopefully one day Americans will realize how ignorant they actually are, and possibly realize that the problem is internal; stop blaming everyone else! Stop trusting the government, you do not know what is biased and what isn’t. Get INFORMED; ZEITGEIST. Google that shit… Anything can be biased, so I suggest you do research on any important topic… Oh yeah, FUCK ‘American Pride’.
I’m with austin.
Totally loaded questions. If the hosts of that show know so much about what’s going on over there, maybe they should have to answer the same bullshit questions with 3 retarded answers to choose from.
Maybe they should ask those stupid questions to soldiers that are actually in Iraq and see how pissed the soldiers get.
lol @ stupid
I love it that no one named Bin Laden as the problem causer over there, Cat Stevens and an Illinois Senator are the biggest problems?????!!!?!?!?!? FUCK!!!!!
a peaceful religion??? did that guy not go to school?? what were they crusades?!?!? a peaceful act??? i think not. most of these people are sooo…. stupid…
OMFG PEOPLE!!!
Do you really believe they only interviewed 5 people and that 5 people accurately represent MILLIONS?!?!?!?! Maybe you need to look in the mirror to find the ignorance you are so boldly try to point your finger at.
maybe he means a peaceful religion now? not back then iono
anyways what country has this show?
dumb cunts
Define ‘peaceful’, anon.
You’re aware that Christianity is arguably the primary reason why the US denied a good deal of aid (in the form of condoms) to Africa? Preferring instead to waste funds on pushing abstinence.
Aids kills; and so does blushing prudishness.
Oh, they’re not necessarily attacking people–they’re past that. But they have long claws: they’re a majority that effectively write and enact policy.
And when those policies so often run counter to the needs of anyone outside of their faith, and especially when they will result in what could easily amount to millions of deaths, that doesn’t quite meet my definition of peaceful.
they are all products of their enviroment. We are a society that beleives everything we read and watch in the press. Ask yourself some questions before you comment on war and religion. How many schools have been rebuilt in Iraq and AFghan? How many females attend school daily and are receiving and education? How many towns now receive power, markets have been opened, and quality of life has improved. We here about the soldiers and civilians that are shot and suck it up like when we slow down to look at an accident. We dont slow down to look at a new school or hospital. Jihad is a militant term which calls for an uprising of extremists. A few rotten apples are making generations of a peaceful religion look bad.
Respect the soldiers, question your leaders and governing body, look into what you read and here and voice your opinion.
video was stupid, the questions where dumber and if you dont like it in America you have the freedom to leave.
You know I watch this video and even though I know they interviewed more people for the better responses it still makes me sad to be an American. Well I guess it is time to move to Canada.
All i gotta say is hahaha.
I hope that all you American’s aint so tunnel visioned as some of those people.
theo: Islam is hardly a religion of peace.
Have you read the Koran? Do you understand the tenants of Islam?
The only peaceful Muslims are those that disregard a large portion of their canon. And there are far fewer of those than you might like to believe.
For example: are you aware of the 2002 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center? (entitled ‘What the World Things in 2002′)
A question was asked of Muslims:
“Some people think that suicide bombing and other forms of violence against civilian targets are justified in order to defend Islam from its enemies. Other people believe that, no matter what the reason, this kind of violence is never justified. Do you personally feel that this kind of violence is often justified to defend Islam, sometimes justified, rarely justified, or never justified?”
If you combine the answers ranging from “often” through “rarely” together–if for no other reason than to get a statistical idea of how many would, under certain circumstances, sanction the indiscriminate murder of noncombatants, you arrive at some rather hideous figures:
(locale, % supporting the above)
Lebanon 82%
Ivory Coast 73%
Nigeria 66%
Jordan 65%
Bangladesh 58%
Mali 54%
Senegal 47%
Ghana 44%
Indonesia 43%
Uganda 40%
Pakistan 38%
Turkey 20%
Suicide bombing also entails suicide, of course, which most Muslims believe is expressly forbidden by God.
Had the question been “Is it ever justified to target civilians in defense of Islam,” we could expect even greater Muslim endorsement of terror.
Also note that if all Muslims had responded as Turkey did, we would still be talking about more than 200 million people that would sanction the murder of noncombatants in defense of Islam.
Consider also that places like Saudia Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Iran, Sudan, Iraq, and the Palestinian territories were not included in this survey.
Had they been, it is safe to say, the Lebanese would have lost their place at the top of the list several times over.
And if you would be inclined to note that they “would only do it to defend Islam from its enemies,” you would again do well to read up on the Koran / tenants of Islam.
Everyone that it not Muslim is, by definition, an enemy of Islam–more specifically, an “enemy of God.”
Our very existence is provocation enough for them to claim defense.
Read up on it. Really.
Start by picking up a copy of “The End of Faith” by Sam Harris (noting that much of what has been said here is quoted from his works).
Check his references. Read up on the Koran / tenants of Islam.
It should serve as a truly alarming wakeup call.
WOW, that stupid chick thought borok obama was a terrorist? lolz (and soooo much racism, seriously, some americans are just dumbass’s)
Fuck that bullshit, not all Americans are that dumbfounded.
Notice how most of those people were in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart. That can account for any level of stupidity.
english pigdogs-i faat in their general direction
you see, I’m an American, and I know absolutely nothing about the shit in the middle east. I mean NOTHING! The only difference: I don’t pretend like I do know.
this looks like a comedy news show, thus the results where probably filtered down to the most ridicules answers for the sake of entertainment. this is not a documentary or an educational film. Many Americans are uneducated and/or uninterested about the happenings in Iraq. And yes America has its portion of idiots. I dare them to ask these questions on a collage campus. Honestly, you are just begging for dumb answers by asking the questions in a wal-mart parking lot.
Yes because these are all the average Americans you will meet and we’re all stupid and ignorant.
..NO! These people are hillariously and tragically ignorant but Americans deserve more credit. I’m sure out of an enormous group of people polled these were a very special few that make for good tv and bolstering the stereotypes against us.
whoever stereotypes people are as ignorant and arrogant as the rest.
Lol jackass americans ”we should kill em all, and the person with the most scary sounding name is to blame for everything”
Stupid people are everywhere not just America. Don’t try to act so smug, that makes you just as stupid.
That was hilarious, and offensive at the same time to see such a level of stupidity and have it be used to label all of America.
Omg… for real… i shake my head!!
These “typical Americans” were only given three crappy options for each question, every answer would give the same comical reaction
Most if not all of the questions had 3 bad answers which they would be criticized for saying. That said, they should of just pointed out that maybe none of those were good answers, however I’m sure the people that did answer the way I just described were cut out. As for the people that said barack obama, that is just embarrassing.
Haha… he said we should execute Sadam Husien’s body double and everyone and anyone who looks like him…. LMFAO!!!!! :0
if you noticed that some of the people were wal-mart shoppers = stupid
in our defense, i couldn’t eve n understand the interviewer half the time. Learn how to speak REAL english, mkay? maybe then you won’t be such a pussy.
BUSH GOT RE ELECTED , AND NOT ONLY 10 PEOPLE VOTED, THAT WAY YOU CAN MEASURE IGNORANCE , IM AN AMERICAN THAT LEFT THE STATES , CANT BELIVE PEOPLE STILL THINK THE WAR ON IRAK WAS A GOOD THINK,( so we are good people for rebuilding schools and hospitals? WTF???? we blown them in the first place killing children and inocent people….) COME ON MAN!!!!!WAKE UP!!!! cut the proud american shit and stop to think 2 seconds , please!!!!!
I don’t know who is a bigger thug - the stupid, completely uneducated bottom feeders that were targeted to interview as representatives of my Country or the Executive Producer of your show who probably edited out anyone who had something intelligent to say. Gangsters on the street and rednecks do not represent the US anymore than the ghetto trash working on your show represents England. But, great journalism - or reality TV the trashiest part of our culture - handed down from yours. Thanks.
At least these ignorant US Citizens are not their not letting there country get overrun and controlled by sharia law like some other English speaking countries are.
