How many Muslims do you think believe that nonsense?
Can I use this to refute creationism, Domination?... you can't prove a conspiracy theory wrong. There just isn't evidence that it is true, therefore it probably isn't.
You mean like many of the truthers?But what if someone doesn't believe any planes hit the World Towers?![]()
Other than the economy, I think the rest is quite debatable.But Anyways, the Middle East pretty obviously has a higher percentage of nutjobs than America or the west in general. Considering that we have the world largest economy and (theoretically) have a world class education system and they don't, I wouldn't consider this to be a bragging point.
USA scores the lowest in national average IQ among the developed countries of the world, at a national average score of 98. The data is obtained from IQ and Global Equality by Dr. Richard Lynn (professor of Psychology, University of Ulster, Northern Ireland) and Dr. Tatu Vanhanen (University of Tampere, Finland) who have done extensive research on the subject spanning several years. The national average IQ score of Americans at 98 is below 22 countries (including Switzerland, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, North Korea and China). The low Intelligence Quotient (IQ) score of United States puts the Americans at a lower intelligence level on an average as compared to the other industralised nations.
If you are a non-American who deals with Americans or know people who do, you’d probably have come across the stereotype that Americans are stupid. The general image of Americans around the world is of that of a stupid boor posessed with a loud obnoxious behaviour.
While such stereotypes are not fair to the considerate among Americans, they do have a socio-cultural reason for their origin and existence. And no, it is not because the world hates the American freedom and democracy (if you are an American, making such a silly remark would instantly put you in the ’stupid American’ group). It is the way Americans behave and project themselves around the world that gives birth to these stereotypes. If democracy and freedom were actually triggers of global prejudice, then nationals of France, Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark or Singapore would have faced the brunt more often then Americans. Yet this is not the case. All of these countries are highly regarded around the world for their strong democracy with a healthy mix of liberalism and patriotism.
We may be marginally better than the Middle East in the overall number of "nutjobs", but not by much. And comparing the US to Europe in this regard is apparently patently unfair.•63% of young American’s couldn’t identify Iraq on a map of the Middle East
•41% of young American’s can’t even identify what continent the Amazon rainforest is on
•50% were not able to identify New York state on a map of the United States

You are claiming that no planes in the WTC?
Google "many truthers claim the same thing".
Me too.I'd love to see a more exact rendition of what was actually asked.
A World Public Opinion opinion poll conducted in February 2007 found that 28% of respondents in Egypt believe Al Qaeda were responsible. 9% said the U.S. government were responsible, 29% said Israel and 5% named another country. 29% said they did not know.[26
