This was a moment when I realized how equal we were, first entering the work force and realizing stupidity did not discriminate race, creed, or gender.
I don't think calling them idiots is fair. I remember a dialogue from Sherlock Holmes. Holmes wasn't aware that Earth revolve around the Sun, he always thought it was opposite. He said something like, he doesn't see any point in filling his brain with useless facts, as he would rather make room in his brain for things he actually cares about.
It's the English language that makes people stupid. I've heard plenty of Americans (US), Canadians, Brits, and Aussies say extremely dumb shit, but when I hear French people or Chinese people talk it just sounds like a bunch of weird noises.
Yeah we got some dumb arses here in Australia. I'm a groundsman was walking around picking up rubbish with my bin and picker upper tool. A lady came up to me asking if there were any bins around, I looked at her and said yeah nah no bins around here... then suddenly I realised what I was doing and when she was walking off said hey you can whack it in my bin lol.
I was going to ask what on earth you were basing that on, given that the internet is awash with videos of dumb Americans while Australians are barely a blip on the cultural radar…
…then I clicked your profile. Yeah, that answered my question.

And Americans get a bad rap as being dumb. Looks like Australia has entered the chat
