It's not that all Americans are idiots, it's that most idiots tend to be American.

Some things I really hate that were ruined by stupid people:

Rear seat car windows not going all the way down. Why? Because some kids were dumb enough to fall out of the back because their parents were dumb enough not to buckle them in? Meh. I want to sit in the back and I want my window all the way down!

</font>


Actually, I'm fairly certain the reason that a lot of back windows in cars don't go down is because the back wheel well is in the way. I used to think it was because of small children as well until my father said it was because of the wheel well. And if you'll notice, in cars that the back windows don't come all the way down the wheel well is almost always in the way. I say almost always, but I've yet to see a wheel well not in the way.

SNL is gold. "Bill Brasky is a sunnuva*****!"

It spawned Farley, Sandler, and Ferrel.

While not the most witty comedic goldmine, it's still a goldmine. Most American humor relies on some sort of crude humor. Admittedly, it's not for all.

But yeah, I say...eat more chicken.

Whose Line Is It Anyway? Sure, it may have been a British idea, but it's the American/Canadian actors that made it work: Greg Proops, Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie.

I never saw the American version, but the British version was fantastic. Paul Merton is a comedy genius.

The original British version had 10 series.


British comedy has often had American versions, and it's almost exclusively terrible. Fawlty Towers and Are you being served have both suffered this fate, as well as various Monty Python sketches. Oh and Red Dwarf. weep.

The British Version of Whose Line is TERRIBLE comapared to the American Version. The British Verision relied too much on crude jokes, games that focused more on skill than humor, and really lousy lighting.

I'm with you Kirby. Do we really need "Do Not Stop On Tracks" signs? If you are dumb enough to stop your cars on train tracks, you desevre getting hit by the train. It's really a shame that our society is promoting and rewarding stupid behavior.

Yes. But do the people on the train deserve to die because of someone being that idiotic?

These signs don't just protect idiots from themselves, but they also protect other people from idiots.

Natural Selection WILL occur, whether or not there are warning signs posted everywhere. You can't stop nature or the course of it. Eventually, it'll happen, its inevitable.

Wow, alot of you guys are really ignorant.

Go to any European country (especially the UK) and tell me you can't find just as many slackjawed morons as you would in the US. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif]
2004-08-18, 11:20 AM #55
yeah, But what happens in europe is nothing compared to what the US media makes of their own idiots...

as for the coffe lady... I don't have a cup holder in my car... But i'm not dumb enough to hold scalding hot coffee between my legs, a bottle of pop or water or something... all you get from that is a sticky mess to clean up, not burns.

Heh, I've got the Darwin Awards book. I find it very, very hard to believe that people can die in the most stupidest ways.
