Andy,
just so you know, I'm not trying to insult you here. But why is it that over the past few weeks you have told us about several incidents with people you know, who you sort of dubbed stupid for not knowing how certain things worked or who the president of some country was and which country he was visiting. Why would these people be ignorant and why would you be so smart?
I might have misinterpreted things though, in which case you should just let me know.
It's obvious why I am mentioning such conversations and interactions with people I know personally... the reason being I simply like to make fun of them! I find it rather humorous you yourself are seemingly taking exception to me blasting people I know for actually giving fruitful evidence that the American stereotype could be true. And furthermore I find it surprising you do not find it humorous as well considering it's obvious you have some distate for Americans in general..
But then again we could have a double standard here in which Europeans can make fun of Americans while other Americans are somehow not allowed to do so... which would not be surprising looking at some correlations between you lot and somebody like, say, Hugo Chavez..
So yes, you have indeed misinterpreted things. Congratulations, that is the first time in your history here that you have actually accepted you perhaps misinterpreted something, which happens quite frequently.
