Ironically, the video in and of itself and it's premise is dumb.

The Great Fluoride Conspiracy of my childhood is back with new artificial sweetners!!! LOL!

As for the title of the thread,what do you expect from a country made up of the descendants of folks who couldn't cut where they came from? We've never exactly drawn the best and brightest to our shores.

[bassman2546]

Wow, Americans bashing themselves. Who woulda thought? The French would love this thread.

[fhsjazztrumpet2]

At least we have nice teeth and tasty meals?

[Tomfurbs]

'Tasty meals'?

You need to travel, my friend.

[trish]

If they weren't tasty, they wouldn't call them Tasty Cakes, right?

[Tomfurbs]

Hehe Trish.... to solidify my argument (and, er, un-solidify a few other things), I present to you 'The Famous Bowl' :lol:

[ARMANIXXX]

'Tasty meals'?

You need to travel, my friend.


Why?

There's every ethnic nationality here in America. So I would venture to say the country with the most diverse meals is in fact America.


Btw, I hear English food is bland.

[Tomfurbs]

English food is pure shit mostly.

Which is why travel is good.

[BBaggins06]

Not obscure at all. Have you been drinking lots of sugared tap water?

Speak for yourself thx tinfoil.

LOL.. Truer words have never been spoken, Tom. I lose weight everytime I go to London for good reason.

Dunno what that means but I had a salad of tulips and daffodils once....IIRC it was very nice.

(But I was very pissed.)

That's the first time I've ever heard that fluoride and aspartame can make people dumb!

If so many people are using fluoride enhanced toothpastes and water and chewing artificially sweetened candy with aspartame, then why do so many people have yellow teeth? Are they the smart ones? :)

[Trogdor]

Hehe Trish.... to solidify my argument (and, er, un-solidify a few other things), I present to you 'The Famous Bowl' :lol:

Is that before or after it reaches the colon? ( Will probably be sitting in the colon for a few months at least >_> )

Well, dunno about stupidity in general, but everywhere I go, I see people in a dazed stupor.....glassy cow eye look....jaw hanging wide open as they walk and do their stuff. And since Americans are the world's largest users of pharmacudical drugs, I can see why.

Also, why are so many people fat, despite the diet stuff? XD

Flouride is toxic, and I heard that it was used by the Nazis in the concentration camps. Also, Apartame has been shown to really mess up brains in lab mice, so I can easily see people being the same way.

And Aspartame's chemical composition changes in warm tempuratuues, and most diet sodas are kept in room tempuratures in the store shelves....so....

Also, I read somewhere that Rumsfeld was a big proponent for Aspartame in food. I gotta see if I can find that article somehwere....I think it was in the Splenda thread.

[MrsKellyPierce]

Oh Lord, this is just plain dumb.

Not to mention all the smart people we do have like NASA, inventors, entraprauners, and on down the line.

And hmm seems like England copied off our government. Why do you need a prime minister, the Queen is still alive!

[Jericho]

Because we can be, godamn it!

(i can relax now that's out of my head!) :lol:

NASA, with smart people?! HA!

NASA = Never A Straight Answer.

I thought it was Need Another Seven Astronauts.......

TastyKake with a "K" not a "C"

"Tastykake is all the good things wrapped up in one." (?)


"Hawaiian Punch...what flavor do you want, kids?" "We want RED, Mom!"

...Where do the "REDFRUIT" trees grow?

[IsuckTgirlCock]

Americans are really dumb. I agree. A Chinese infant is born with the IQ of an average American. No wonder the USA is so easily herded like sheep by Christianity and Democracy. They are bred to be stupid !

Yea but usually its only true to whatever ethnic food it is for the generation that immigrates here- once the restaurant's founders pass on to the next generation its not the same- and it'll get worse with every generation after.

Case in point when I want decent German sausage, I will turn around and walk back out the door if the butcher speaks any English. Maybe that's harsh, but the best German sausage I've had here has been from immigrant butchers.

[IsuckTgirlCock]

No, not all Americans are stupid, but some do say the dumbest shit.

Two examples:

[quote=IsuckTgirlCock]Americans are really dumb. No wonder the USA is so easily herded like sheep by Christianity and Democracy. They are bred to be stupid !

Youre right. Democracy isnt founded on christianity and weak minded people in the usa arent bred to follow it like sheep. Damn, great way to point that out. lo. youre quit the retard, if that. tool

I ask myself this ALL the time.

[Quiet Reflections]

not all americans are stupid, just the ones the media lets you see as you replicate our sad culture till your no better. Generally speaking the imitator is always worse than the originator. I dont know of any culture that is copied more. American sports are better too

[ilovetgirls36]

because they pay $3000 for a mac ....

[russtafa]

americans used to have the worst tv programs ive ever seen[dukes of hasard,brady bunch, i love lucy] i used to think they were retarded but our own shows[australian] are just as bad so maybe the whole world is dumbing down

[altarica]

Ok a serious answer from a Brit.
I don't think Americans are all particularly dumb.What I do think though is that they are quite parochial and somewhat naive.
Given the size of the country this is quite understandable.I have met many Americans in my time through work and found that many of them have no concept or interest in what goes on in other states,never mind the rest of the world.
As for British food being bland ....Hmmmm. Which country presently has the best restaurants and chefs residing within? Britain that's where.
And Kelly,much as much I adore you we did not copy your government.
Our parliament is known as 'The Mother of parliaments" for a good reason.
Why do we have a Prime Minister when we have the Queen? The Queen is the titular Head Of State,with no political power whatsoever and the Prime Minister is the leader of the political party which governs the country. The monarchs power is not absolute since it was reigned in by the Magna Carta of 1215 signed by King John,binding the monarch to the rule of law, stated simply.

Now if someone was to state that all French people are cheese eating surrender monkeys then that I would have to agree with, :D :D :D

[Surkis]

Haha, great topic! Americans sure are dumb. Can we generalize blacks and mexican next please? Cause prejudice is awesome!

*HEAVY sarcasm*
