I cannot judge its people from interactions on the internet and anecdotal stories and how the media portrays them. However, the key here is that from my impressions so far, America is filled with willful idiots - people who have the capacity but squander them.

Speaking of squandering, I stopped by to tell you that your country is run by a cabal of power-hungry idiots. No, being black or a woman will not change being power-hungry or stupid.

40% are complete idiots...

The sample size for these tests are far too small, in my opinion.

But, you only prove my point. These people - with a better education system, and if they chose to go against the grain to actually study to gain knowledge - would know more. I know how horrible the education system is.

That, and with enough mental gymnastics, it's actually possible to believe that both creationism and evolution are true.

For instance, God created the world and subjected it to the effects of Time Dilation as to experience 5 billion (or whatever the proven age is) years in the span of just five thousand.
