40% of Americans deny that humans evolved from other animals and believe the Earth and everything on it was created by an invisible "super-being" 10,000 years ago!!! ;D ;D ;D
40%...not 4 or 14 but 40...Four-oh, 2 out of every 5 people in an affluent, educated,modern, western country genuinely believe the Earth is 10,000 years old ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
so they believe dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time as man!!! (that would explain the dodgy Rachel Welch movie)
aren't religious nuts hilarious? - and the US is by no means the worst offender - i'll bet in Iran it's even higher :o :o :o

Well thats Americans for you BJ..........Apparently about 35% have also been abducted by "aliens"...........and taken to the "Mothership".....so perhaps we should not be completely surprised. :y :y :y.
You only have to look at the intellect of Republican presidents...........Ronald Reagan........had the I.Q of a retarded goat........smarter than good old George .W. Bush however :y :y :y
-
Many Americans never actually leave the U.S in their lifetime.......They travel from state to state.......but dare not venture further.
Perhaps they are afraid.......that they may "sail off the edge of the world". ::) ::)

Agreed.. worth trying ;D

Her and a few other's are improving with age (and surgury)
Cher
Tina Turner
Joan Collins (A darn site better looking now than she was in the stud and the bitch films)
and they are the 1st 3 I have thought of.

I'd still do Sophia Loren any day, and she's 103!!

I believe its not an age thing, although they become "sharper" with knife, its the libido and hormons which seperate them from the others ..
By the way Monica Belluci is still in my top list ;D
-
I actually worked with a religious nut that thought the world was 10,000 years old. He also thought the sun was the same age too. Some stars were not suns & there couldn't possibly be life on other planets.
He also said he didn't swear, i heard a few times & so did other's, he'd deny it too, oh & that made him a lier as well ;D
Very narrow minded people.
-
I can name quite a few state capitals and have a working knowledge of the US government and financial figures (that's people, not numbers).
The average American, as far as I can tell, has no idea about the geography of European countries. I once heard one asking if Scotland was in Ireland.
I wonder if this is because they are stupid, or because their education system teaches them that they are the centre of the universe and the rest of the world is basically unimportant.

Quite a few Americans are completely unaware of the existence of Wales as well. I mean, we're completely different to the English ffs.
Polite replies only please

Devils advocate time again ::)
If we were slinging all these insults about lets say Africans or Asians for example the thread would have been pulled by now as being too racist and rightly so.
I dont believe the statistic about how many believe in creationism.
I dont know all the countries in Africa so perhaps we are being a little self important in expecting Americans to know the geo/political make up of the UK(I know many British people who dont even know what the UK is,or what countries it consists off) they have a state (texas) which is twice the size of France.
The notion that a nation that big and diverse actually consists of nothing but tens of millions of rednecks is ludicrous.Go spend a week in NYC for example,in many respects it makes London seem like a little backwater town I find it an incredibly diverse,interesting country,and like it or not if it wasnt for them we could easily have been over run by the soviets and various other potential enemies in the last 50 years.
There are American members on the forum,reading stuf like this will dismay them I,m sure.
My 78 year old Dad believes that the world is approx. 6000 years old,because he is a staunch old fashioned Christian,it was still the accepted wisdom in many quarters as recently as 40 years ago. ;)

i love the US - i'm just gobsmacked by the huge proportion who believe, or say they believe, in these fairytales :o
it's a fact from a national census, the figure was 40% dont believe we were descended from animals and 20% were unsure
it's not racist - America is one of, if not thee, most racially diverse nation on Earth - i'm not attacking race - i'm attacking the bizarre beliefs of a worryingly large section of the general population.
by the way, the same question in the UK 16% didn't believe we were descended from animals - i worked with one of these bozos, he found it hilarious that i believed in evolution, like it was a debate in the 1800's or something :-?

I'm not so intolerant of religious views as Bannjaax. Specifically, in the case of the US, if people choose to both believe in Christianity and to abide by its teachings (notably the Ten Commandments) I, for one, would not call them "bozos".
Guess I'm just old-fashioned. :-[

i'm very intolerant of idiotic fairytales being portrayed as some sort of "truth" and i'm not going to defend my position on that.
lets say theres a little green man who floats around the universe. this little green man created everything, and controls everything in the universe, except he's invisible but you must believe he exists because if you don't, terrible things will happen
i've just created a faith
now, prove to me this invisible, little green man doesnt exist and then we'll talk about religion ::)

you see my point tho - you cant argue with someones beliefs - by definition they believe them - like i can believe in an invisible green man - its no more ludicrous just because millions believe in one invisible entity over another - i dont have to prove he isn't there - what makes your invisible guy so special? :)

...it's not at all convenient, it seems to be quite logical to me :y
-
I'm not so intolerant of religious views as Bannjaax. Specifically, in the case of the US, if people choose to both believe in Christianity and to abide by its teachings (notably the Ten Commandments) I, for one, would not call them "bozos".
Guess I'm just old-fashioned. :-[
i'm very intolerant of idiotic fairytales being portrayed as some sort of "truth" and i'm not going to defend my position on that.
lets say theres a little green man who floats around the universe. this little green man created everything, and controls everything in the universe, except he's invisible but you must believe he exists because if you don't, terrible things will happen
i've just created a faith
now, prove to me this invisible, little green man doesnt exist and then we'll talk about religion ::)
....the thing about faith is that proof is not required :y

....I thought that's what you were trying to do with the 40% of your Americans :-/
i just find it odd - the last thing i'd want to do is sit down and tell them the truth - they all seem so happy....maybe ignorance is bliss after all :y

You cannot disprove the existence of a Deity. It is simple impossible. Thus you are not the keeper of truth. ;)

I find it slighttly disturbing and puzzling that the left are forever hammering Christianity at every opportunity,yet you will never hear them doing the same with other religions.
For example,afaik Muslims believe that Homosexuals should be executed,when adultery takes place the woman involved should be stoned to death,thieves have their hands chopped off etc, but you never hear a peep out of the left about any of this.I find it curious. :-/
Edit - sorry got tat a bit wrong actually,they also like to put the boot into the jews for some reason.

...it's part of the well practised application of the central message - you must only believe what your party official tells you - believe anything else and you become a threat.
It's socialism, communism and Marxism 101 - to use that great US educational term ;) ;)

all religion is bunkum and hogwash m8 - its all made up, so thats kind of a sweeping statement that the left only attack christianity - i for one would end all religion if i could - sounds like the kind of guff Littlejohn spouts tbh

speaking of the US again - i read in a couple of papers that JK Rowling was denied by the Bush administration their highest civilian honour, the "Presidential Medal of Freedom" according to Matt Latimer an ex whitehouse speechwriter.
you really want to know the reason?
this is the 21st century mind................
they were worried her Harry Potter books encouraged witchcraft! ;D ;D ;D
guess if you believe in the good tripe you have to balance it with the bad ;)
oooh look out Georgie - hide behind the sofa and ban it quick!!!!

Yet again that's another substantial swipe at the US bj - comes back the level of belief held and the freedom to hold that irrespective of perceived worthiness I suppose ;)
Can you explain what 'good tripe' is? :-/ :-/
....and should that not be Darren hiding behind the sofa rather than Geordie? ::)
