Writing off a diverse and disparate group of 320 million people as thick is thick.

Individual Americans can be and are smart.
Americans as a group are dumb.
It is global, a person can be smart, people are dumb. It is not restricted to just Americans.

What if you replaced "Americans" with "Africans"?
Would that be acceptable?

And Africa is a continent
...I don't think anyone was calling into question the intelligence of people from Peru. Where, as we all know, they have talking bears.

Humans are thick
However, given their status, power and wealth, Americans have the ability to project their stupid on an international stage far more effectively than any other nation.
Also Africa seems to be aware of some of it's social issues and is trying to address them. Americans? Nah, they'll just vote in a champion of inequality and continue shooting each other.

Seeing as we're comparing Americans and Africans then
On your criteria of rulers they elect, social issues and violence to each other you're saying Africans are more enlightened than Americans?

Nope, I'm saying that Americans broadcast their stupid better than anyone else.

What sort of infrastructure did you create, rather than steal and make bigger?
Radio? Nope. Television? Nope. Computers? Nope. Networking? Nope. I'll give you DARPA/Internet, but again all the groundwork was there for you with the networking invention... just stolen and made bigger.
The US takes other people's ideas, makes them lowest common denominator to suit their populous and then advertises the crass shit to other idiots, which unfortunately saturate the earth.

I'll happily change my opinion once I've met one that isn't
Or indeed when they produce a good comedy, sort out any of their social issues or elect a good government.

I rather liked Arrested Development as it happens.
I got nothing on the social / governmental issues though.

I didn't catch that. I started watching the whole thing on Netflix again recently, so that's a disappointment.

Curb Your Enthusiasm, Frasier, the early seasons of The Simpsons.

Two unwatchable "comedies" and a cartoon that's gone one for 25 series too many. Okay?
( , Thu 13 Apr 2017, 16:56, Share, Reply)
I agree that Curb is very much an acquired taste,
but I think calling Frasier unwatchable is more than a little harsh. I'm quite sure that Friends would have been a little lowbrow and trite for your tastes, but its international success speaks volumes. I never really got Seinfeld, but many comedians speak very highly of it. Some of my friends rate the american version of The Office but I didn't see much of that.

To be fair to him though...it would be nice if the intelligent ones could make themselves known and move to the front of the queue.

Unfortunately smart people are a minority
Just a shame they do not get the same protections under law.
"What you said is offensive to smart people and we are a protected class"

Gradually though,
smart people are replacing idiots with technology.
The only problem is no-one has figured out how to turn off the idiot faucet.
