A guy walks the streets of America and asks random people some pretty easy questions. A couple of these answers actually had me laughing out loud. If anyone knows what show this clip aired let us know, we thought it was hilarious.

I think every country has dumb people and clever people as well. Bigger countrys obviously have more. But yeah, they suck big time:

Jay-Walking was just on last nights show. It was pretty funny as they had questions that you would find either in 2nd, 4th, 6th, or 8th grades (american school system) and they could use the level and some people still did get the 2nd grade questions wrong.

There's also an american game show that uses a similar premise called "street smarts" The host goes around and asks questions to three random people. And the two contestants need to decide on various things whether these people will get the answer right or wrong, or who does get it right etc. The show is a bit more honest than this thing though since it does show people getting some questions right.

This is like assuming Jews shouldn't be in America or Mormons shouldn't be in France. If they're citizens of a country, they have a right to live there.

They can, of course, give up their citizenship and move to a Muslim country, but in Israel they have the right to vote and even a few representatives in the Knesset. With the dubious exception of Egypt, all the Muslim countries have either sham elections or no voting at all. Plus, Israel has freedom of religion, a good place for a Muslim to live if he doesn't want to follow the extremist brand of Islam prescribed the governments of even the so-called "moderate" Muslim nations.

I know they still live there though, because you can't just move an entire population like that.


No because israel is a secular nation. It contains jews muslims christians even hindus. The majority of citizens are jewish but the nation is still secular. For instance you can actually eat pork in israel.

And Jay Leno does this all the time in his Jay walking bit. Its humorous but essentially worthless. Since knowing who Koffi Annan is will likely never affect any of those people's lives, unless they turn on the news one day to see that he's being arrested for complicity in war crimes.

*edit* And I find it quite funny that two guys from ohio are educating a european on another foreign country when the attempt of this is to show americans as stupid and uninformed.

"The language they speak in Latin-America is latin, true or false?"

Oh by the way, did you know that Israelians are Muslims?

LOL :D
