The difference between which party is in power, which is something of a big difference.manic_depressive13 said:
Not when the US is the world's greatest economy. When the US leadership mucks it's economy up, people across the world suffer. Such as happened a few years ago, and could happen ago with little warning.Mr Ink 5000 said:
It's easier to make fun of someone for saying something dumb than to focus on the matter itself. I doubt many people making fun of her have a better grasp on whats going on in the Ukraine.
It's safer to get wound up at her than think about what's actually going on.

I'd still say it was trivial to those who don't discuss those issues. I understand the US pres plays a part to many issues indirectly here (although i'm not clear on all aspects of how) but there are plenty of people here who wouldn't know the PM's name, and don't care about such things.thaluikhain said:
Just because you know the name of the candidates doesn't mean you're actually better informed. I'd take someone who has no idea Tony Abbott is the PM, over someone who actively supports him because they want a tough asylum seeker policy to stop the Muslim refugees imposing Sharia law. Although that's probably a bad example because both parties have completely fucking backwards asylum seeker policies.thaluikhain said:

Everyone around here is like this.
I mean, everyone. Most people leave school early, and most of the women who do go into hairdressing or beauticianism, and the men.. fuck knows where they go. Oh, yeah. Prison.
Which means that about 70% of the entire population, probably moreso for Scotland, which is known for this sort of thing, are twats who have 3 children, are 19-26 years old, and live in a council house.

Variations on "Not the [most effective] [device] in the [container]" are common.Mr Ink 5000 said:
"Not the sharpest tool in the shed" is the most common in my experience.
Good old English, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
Surprising that she has never seen Barack Obama written down but she might be like me and avoid all news, hell, I get my news from posts on here and 9gag!
Like a stone sour song goes "I'm just too young to care".

I see why its viral, but not why people feel the need to go in depth and argue about it. Even if that was no joke her view on American/British politics I'm not too worried.
The tragedy about this is that in the UK beauticians get paid more than people who do much harder, riskier and/or more important jobs requiring more training like nurses and vets.
I know more of the US presidents than I do the prime ministers of the UK(my place of birth and where I live). I know Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Churchill and David Cameron, see I know fuck all. It's no wonder she thinks that Barrack Obama is the president of England when we aren't even taught about UK politics in school.
