People Just Had To Take Screenshots Of These 52 Online Posts That Display Stupidity At Its Finest (New Pics)

Also love that maga will accept a white African as a favorite son, but a Black man born in Hawaii can't possibly a citizen! I can respect conservative points of view (usually); I just can't handle the hypocrisy. SMH.

Or dark southafrican

No, but they hunt everything else!

Also.. 250 is 2026 not 2025. The bicentennial was 1976

What this person fumbled saying is that the USA has the oldest constitution in the world. I've seen this contradicted by the claim that city charter documents by a city which is sovereign (San Marino) are older, but I would rather say this only points out that such claims are always fuzzy; I'd question whether San Marino saw itself as creating the Supreme Law of a nation when they created such documents. Of course, our Constitution was created in 1789, not 1775.

Well, after all the arguments presented, I realize that the criticized commenter was ALMOST correct: he wasn't referring to the date of the formation of the Constitution, but actually the formation of the nation. And as such, only one nation disproves him and y'al're gonna be shocked at which nation it is: Bhutan. There are a total of four nations which have not been subjugated to another nation since before the founding of the United States, and of those, only Bhutan has survived without the form of government changing. It's been a kingdom since 1609. I could entertain arguments to include Sweden (1532), since neither when the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway combined (1814) nor dissolved (1905) did Sweden change its monarch. Supreme legislative authority shifted in the UK in 1911 from the oligarchic House of Lords to the democratic House of Commons, without the free consent of the House of Lords, so I do exclude England, judging it not to have been subjugated but having changed form of govt.

I loved the advert the Egyptian tourist board brought out in 2000: "join us for our seventh millennium" 😂

I don't think OP meant the lands of the Earth were created only 250 years ago. The claim, I believe, is that our Constitution is the oldest. (I discussed the fuzziness and inaccuracy of THIS claim above.)

You must be quite busy🫣

A lot of Americans leave a lot to be desired. -- American here.

And Trump slowly but surely dismantling the Department of Education....we are screwed....

I swear we are out here teaching as hard as we can. The problem is you can't make someone learn or put effort in. As long as we have big chunks of the country who don't value education and tell their kids they don't need it and don't encourage learning...not much we can do.

In my experience the education system is fine. People are just dumb, and that isn't restricted to just the US

I don't understand what happened. Maybe because I'm so far north, we learned all about the cross-border assistance we provided each other starting in 1939 when the war started in Europe(yes, I know the US didn't enter until 1941). Ho could an American not know about Canadian involvement in the war?

It’s not even about education. I learnt nothing about WWII at school, but I know about the Anzac troupes because I’m interested in life

I can’t understand people who post facts they’ve made up in their heads on the internet without spending a few minutes checking whether it’s correct.

If there is a defining charactestic for USA I would say it is Arrogance.

Sadly, yes. I'm an American and have a degree in history. Most of what I learned about world history I had to research on my own. The skewed *America first* slop fed to students turns most of them off of history. And of course, it's just getting worse.

Trust me, it isn't quite that bad - although my son was taken aback when he learned we were allies with Russia during that little tiff.

It's doing exactly what the gov want it to do (all parties). Encourage ignorance.

Would you be comfortable having your country's educational system judged by the stupidest person in your country? I have a feeling we'd all be in the same boat.

No sh!t, Sherlock.

It's not the system that's the problem...

Um, y'think?

They want it that way . People who lack education and critical thinking tend to believe them at face and are easier to control. Uts.the same with women's reproductive health care . Women who are forced to give birth with no control over prevention and family planning . That usually means having kids early and often. Thst means giving up higher education and even our chance at financial independence. They shame single moms and drag us so we are more likely to put up with terrible behavior and just stay with a man out of fear .

Got that right!!

It leaves even more to be desired now that Trump is dismantling the Dept of Education. Our country is a mess.

I went to public magnet schools in the U.S. from kindergarten to high school, and even within them there were gifted programs, of which I was a part. (One had to test to get into these schools, but they also were required to accept a certain percentage of students from the surrounding neighborhood.) People from both sides of the aisle (including our illustrious and not at all shítty mayor in Chicago) are against them now, because "everything should be equal". Fúck that. Oh, the shítler regime is against them too, because they're against education in general.

I'm confused as to how that plays a part here -- you don't know what nationality of either people are.

Slanderous nonsense, we bought it, fair and square, from your current overlord, your cat.

No Canada was not part of the British Empire during WW2. In fact Canada delayed declaring war just to prove the point that they were an independent nation.

I was going to say no Canadians were hurt at Juno beach on D-Day.

Red Wyvern Emperor: the Canadian's weren't - properly speaking - in exile. That'd apply more to the Polish and Czech pilots who made their way from their German (and Soviet) occupied countries to the UK, joined the RAF, and - flew with astonishing bravery and skill in defence of the UK and in support of the Allied invasion of Europe. I mean, the Canadian pilots did all that "flying with astonishing bravery" too (along with many South Africans, French, and I don't know who else) - but the Canadians had less bother getting here, you know?
