Poverty of morals and ethics...

And intelligence. You can go to a slum in South America or anywhere in Asia and ask questions about global events, US politics, general scientific facts, and would be surprised how well informed non-Americans are. Most Americans basically have shit for brains. If stupid were a commodity, we got the market cornered.

Actually, I think you have that wrong. If Americans were stupid then at least we'd have an excuse for acting the way we do.

The problem is that Americans are reasonably intelligent, but we are also ignorant, ill-informed and very lazy when it comes to educating ourselves and expanding our knowledge.

Wrong questions. I'll bet the Americans know what which Kardassian did this week, who got kicked off the island or what star danced best! Oh, and that the Republican party has an ongoing "war on women" and wants to pollute the air and water...

A huge issue is that a lot of Americans think it’s someone else’s job to pay attention to these things. A lot of Americans think being an idiot makes you cool, for some reason. I’ll never understand it myself.
