which is why i try not to meet people at all

and i've met like 15 dutch people, 30ish english people, and 30ish koreans and my experiences with them have been:
0 dutch people possibly being that dumb
0 english people possibly being that dumb
30 koreans still in question because i don't speak fkn korean fml

I'm going to imagine there's incredible sample bias there (you meet everyone from your own country, but only worldly people from other countries).

Not her fault she used to watch Sailor Moon. Could be confusing
Sorry for more youtube, but.. i felt embarrassed for this girl just watching the first few seconds of this....
That had to be acting right? right?!?! Some USAmerican can verify if those people really exist or its just a level on the rest of the world?
Don't be ignorant, there are people this stupid in every country. It's just that most of them just don't get to be on a game show that is broadcast on national TV.
Dude there are dumb people in every country, but not to this extreme, at least Ive never seen one on shows and certainly didnt meet any such people that made me want to shake them.

I guess the ones who travel are not the dumbest, but the one who goes to those shows could be.
and are they chosen ? I mean, among the ones who apply, does the TV show chose the dumbest, so the funniest one... ?
sorry for shitty english.

yea wtf, i've spent half my life in Europe and my feeling is that the girls in Europe are much smarter than the girls in the US but the guys in the US are much smarter than the guys in Europe.
There's this fort that overlooks the two rivers which cut through the capital city in serbia. It's literally the center of the country and if u look at a map of the country (one with a lot of nationalist sentiments) there are only 2 big rivers. They are huge in the local songs and literature but if i go up to people and ask them which river is which... pointing at the rivers,
half of them have no fucking clue (sometimes they guess right buvt it's obvious that they guessed so i tell them they're wrong and they don't question me)
and this is an educated city
people are ignorant of the ignorance around them and it helps them say nationalist shit like idiots like razsi and shit bang on about. you'll always find a video like that, that's normal
shit i didn't know the English alphabet in order till 5th grade and i didn't know the months in order in English till i was in college (i forgot the first 2 languages i learned to read and write) and i had to force myself to learn them in college because shit like that is not useful and you wont learn it over time (ie u wont just pick it up, u have to sit down and memorize them). I'd never have learned them had i not decided to.
now that chick is obviously dumb but not because she doesn't know Budapest is. I think the landmass of hte US is bigger than that of europe. maybe the population too. In any event the situation is comparable to not knowing the capital of a US state. Well I'm american and I don't know half of the capitals probably. I guess that makes me a retard you nationalist bastards

serbians go to italy bc for vacations a lot. They say that it's not uncommon for a an italian to ask them where they're from and that when they reply, serbia
the italian asks "where is that?"

I don't get why people seem to constantly judge intelligence on the knowledge of geography. Sure, it's often about knowing stuff about others cultures, but you can be smart and completely uninterested in other countries culture. I'm not saying that's a great thing to be, but I can't see why it's become the norm for how to decide someones intelligence.
I sincerly doubt there's not some nobel prize winners who are clueless about said things.
And yeah, I'm hatin' 'cause I suck at geography, even though I even try to get better at it on my spare time (lol nerd)
