Thats a fact.

Also you`re the only country that has one of Yahtzee`s Mana Bars -_- damn you.

The vast majority of U.S. citizens AREN'T stupid. Believe it or not.

I think that's pretty interesting.
I find it funny that everyone's saying that. "We have SOME smart people", "The majority of us aren't stupid."

When HALF of your country starts realizing the world is not 6000 years old and evolution is not just a fantasy, I think everyone will revise our opinion about your country. And that's just one tiny example.
The vast majority of people I know in my country are Atheist, and last time I checked evolution was pretty much an accepted thing here.

And besides, when did religion ever become the basis of how intelligent you were?

There were many intelligent theists throughout history.

Not to mention the fact that there are many countries on Earth with plenty of religious folks.

And another thing, why does it seem that Christians are the only ones being challenged recently? I mean, sure Christian organizations tend to be very loud about things, but as they say, don't feed the trolls.

Really, the only stupid people in America are the ones who are running around saying and doing stupid shit while the rest of us try to distance ourselves from them.

So, in conclusion, shut the hell up, please.

Shit. I just fed a troll, didn't I?

George Washington, in his resignation address, ending his second term in office, warned against political factioning/ political parties.

In the next presidency, the alien and sedition acts were passed, preventing the public from publishing ANYTHING criticizing the political party in power, and increasing the citizenship period to 10 years to prevent people from joining the opposite political party.

During the American Revolution, the British sang "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (Dandy basically being the colonial equivalent of gay) to mock George Washington and the US in general. The US decided to counter-troll the British by singing the song with pride.

We also have a micronation inside of our borders; Molosia (yes, the same one from Kickassia on TGWTG). It's a REAL micronation, run by one guy. It has I think 5 citizens (this one guy and his family) and actually has customs (things like alchohol, cigarettes, and... um... flourescent lightbulbs... are not allowed past the borders). Their entire tourism industry rests on $20 tours you can schedule on their website. Also, they had this thing called the "Dead Dog War". It was literally a dispute between this guy and his neighbor, who buried his dog on Molossian soil (yes, really).

I'm from Scotland we have copious amounts of alcohol and stab happy arseholes that's about it.

On a more serious note Scottish people invented the television and the telephone and discovered penicillin.

Im Portuguese, but i dont support what my government is trying to do with Finland... our Presidents left us in this financial hole, so they should take us out from it, no asking money from others....

But here goes some facts from Portugal... hope yall like it :3

But if i had to chose a favourite, i would choose beying the birthplace of James Bond films, considering the first movie from 007 ever was filmed and born in Portugal... -^__^-

My country (Canada) is building a telescope that is (I think) twenty times the strength of the Hubble, and we invented Plastic garbage bags. Hurray for destroying the environment!

Texas has better Standards of Education then California.

By the way, I'm in California, and Bush was from Texas...What does that say about CA?
How did you turn the computer on?!

Seriously though? Really? Ouch.
Yeah, it's bad. Texas is about ranks 22 in the country of 50 states, CA is about 50. Of course, the last 4 or 5 governors didn't give a crap about education.


Fun Fact: There are less Mormons in Utah then there are none members

Not a fun place to live in. Also not a good place to survive. Also, surviving is even harder when you don't believe in a certain imaginary friend.

We got great junk food though.
