4. Actually, it's America that's doomed
If this is any indication of the level of how well informed the public is about current events.
Likely this film is making its rounds in UK and those watching it are having one big laugh.

What could possibly be more sad?

7. Videos like these are funny, but dishonest
They don't show the other people who got correct answers. in fact they'll interview someone and if they get an answer or two right, they move on, till they find someone who is ignorant.

I've seen the same videos done on other people (English and Germans) to the same effect.

Theyr'e funny, but when people use them as an example of how dumb americans are it kind of makes me angry lately. Sure there are dumb people in America...There are dumb people EVERYWHERE.

8. You are correct Raven

But wouldn't it be nice if those people that give stupid answers were to be educated so that they can see what is happening right in front of them that they do not see now.

I speak about this very problem here:
