Well, I've always liked the phrase "If it doesn't make cents it doesn't make dollars". Since America has so much money, we must make at least some sense. Anyways, as long as we have our handy purchased goods, like iphones and computers, we can have access to any knowledge we want (even carnal) thus keeping our Capitalist economy thriving, kinda. If you ask an American who is the Chairman of China, they will just google it on their phone. If you ask any other person that, they might know or they might not. Side: yes

This is a good philosophy? This kind of thinking is what got the USA into a recession. Are you proud of greed, lack of compassion, and thievery? Sound like a country of vast intelligence to me.

Well what is your level of consideration in the area of "intelligent"? If you are considering Americans stupid because some don't understand the basic concept of bathroom ethics don't get stereotypical on me. Because if bathroom ethics is your idea of someone hosting intelligence then I must be a genius. An American genius at that. Side: yes

After using a few public restrooms, I can conclude that it eludes the vast majority of the population as to the operation of a toilet and trash can. Such simple devices and yet no one can master the use of them. Flush and put paper towels in trash can, even my dog has learned these basic things. Intelligence among Americans, I haven't seen it. Side: No

Well you my friend aren't good at making conclusions. Lets say that fifty people used that public restroom you used. If the vast majority ( 35+ people ) didn't understand the basic concept of throwing paper towels in trash cans you would be wading through dirty paper towels, something I am sure you weren't doing. Seeing a few random articles of trash on the ground means a few people put them there not 90% of the bathroom users. Intelligence among Americans, I haven't seen it. Tell me, what is it like? Being blind that is. Side: yes

I'm sorry but you cannot judge whether americans are intelligent or not. Almost 99% of americans have ancestry line that has come from a different country. Americans are made up of all the other countries that we are supposedly competing with in intelligence. Plus alot of our techonolgy comes from different contries as well. On being the worlds super power. We didn't become number one because of our intelligence. We became number one because of our morals. We became number one because We wanted freedom. This is why we are in power. Not because we are smarter than other nations. Side: No

I can't believe one said morals as an argument, do you know anything about the people elected. Congressman and Senators haven't had morals for years. Mistresses, mistresses disappearing, accepting bribes, just a few on the list of those morals that made the USA great. Side: No
