Michael Moore Said Americans "Are Possibly The Dumbest People On The Planet." "Take [Michael Moore's] description of his fellow countrymen and their blind pursuit of the American Dream: 'They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet… in thrall to conniving, thieving, smug p#%$ks.' 'We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing. National Geographic produced a survey which showed that 60 per cent of 18-25 year olds don't know where Great Britain is on a map. And 92 per cent of us don't own a passport.'" ("The Awkward Conscience Of A Nation," The [U.K.] Daily Mirror, 11/3/03)

You can thank the NEA for that, Mikey.

British and German kids are fairly ignorant about geography too, but Moore only hates Americans for their ignorance. He's a putz of the first order.

I'm sure that they polled mustly kids of democratic families, they tend to be just as ignorant as their parents.

Well, Mr. Moore can blame himself for bringing down the average.

National Geographic produced a survey which showed that 60 per cent of 18-25 year olds don't know where Great Britain is on a map.

More likely, they feel like being contrary. If someone came up to you and asked you a stupid question like, "Where is Great Britain on this map?" would you give them a straight answer? Maybe some of you older folk, but as for me and my generation, we would probably point to Antarctica and mutter something about the British wearing tuxes all the time.

And 92 per cent of us don't own a passport.'"

Why would we? Foreigners is for blowin' up, not vis'tin'!

Actually, I think Mr. Moore is one of the most mentally challenged individuals on the planet. Which bypasses any dumb American who is challenged only because of our liberal educators that of course are too stupid to know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.

He could be right-how else do you explain:
Clinton getting elected, and then reelected
So many who think OJ is guilty
The national obsession with the Peterson murder\trial
Jerry Springer's popularity
The number of Yugos sold
Believing that Sandy Berger took the documents "by accident"
The large number of people who watched "Friends"
The circulation of the NY Times

Moore is a dull narcissistic twit. He is not adding anything to the democrat's cause. I sense a state of dementia.

But, I hope he gets alot of air time. He is all about hate.
Let the Americans see this unlikeable slob for all he is.

We know just which Americans ARE dumb and ignorant ...those that BELIEVE Moore! This group includes many of the liberal elites. He made 9-11 KNOWING that the dumb and ignorant among us would not question the dishonesty of his "documentary".

Having lived in Germany for 10 years...I can vouch for that. My son is in a German school....and geography/history are the bottom two subjects of the entire class. You actually get more classtime in religion or fitness, than history. If you showed my son a map of the Pacific and asked him where New Zealand was...it would take him five minutes to figure that out. I would argue with Moore...there are alot of stupid folks out there.
