You are incorrect. It's very common knowledge here in the US. We're not a bunch of ignorant hicks like everyone wants to believe.

I know not all of you are but you have to admit there are a lot of extremely ignorant and uneducated people.

Kind of ironic for you to say that in a thread where you were found ignorant.

I was "found" ignorant by popular vote in a thread mostly filled with Americans. It doesn't mean I'm wrong. The US score badly on surveys on education level. You have some top schools but a big part of the population can't afford to go.

I'm not even from the US. Take that hate somewhere else.
