I think the OP needs to re-evaluate the definition of 'dumb', as i don't think cultural values have anything to do with that actual definition.

Interesting however is that anyone who does not have the ability to speak could be considered 'dumb' - it must really suck to have your tongue cut out and people think you're dumb just because you can't speak.

It's what the definition says - but if jimbo would like something a little more relevant, perhaps he could go for Uncouth, or if that's too much for him, perhaps 'un-civilised' would do the trick.

And i must say, most of the world is most un-civilised when compared to the great and almighty Imperium of U.S.A.

At least, that's what i believe is what the OP is implying.

If not - i was wondering where exactly the OP would suggest is actually better than the U.K?

I agree. Don't lock it. It's too much fun. I'm just calling it like I see it - FROM actual, true, one-the-scene-100% real experience.

Some people find that offensive?

Ok.

BUT.

It's still 100% real

Peace.

Ok Jimbo999 what did the British part of your family do to you that makes you want to rant and generally try to upset people.

And if they did do something to you what did you do to deserve it. LOL

Aside from falling foul of your own argument with that statement, I hope you won't mind if a member starts a thread with the title "Why is jimbo999's country so dumb?" Three YouTube videos and sworn testimony that 'I've been there and know. Where? All over.'?

Don't you see why your argument is failing to convince anyone at the moment?

My point is you didn't answer the question to a concise and reasonable standard that can be discussed upon.

I believe you are being obtuse deliberately, sir.

They agree that they are dumb? I don't think so. Your making stuff up, your lack of details, your vagueness shows that you are either hiding something, or your lying.

Not at all - it's just simply pissing of
englishmen - which is EXACTLY what I predicted in my original post....

No suprises then, huh? Life's a bitch, ain't she?

J.

Really?

I find that amazing seeing as we are amongst the proudest people in this country.

Anyway, each to their own...

We are not a stupid nation. Xenophobic? Perhaps. Reticent to change? Perhaps.
Rubbish at football? Definitely.

Stupid? NO.

Imagine what would happen if you came on and said " All Iraqis are dumb."

Sir, you are racially stereotyping and I must insist you desist.
