The confusion between fact and fiction goes both ways, it has emerged, with other respondents to the survey believing Che Guevara, Florence Nightingale and outlaw Jesse James were fictional, not real.

60% or so of Americans completely reject evolution. 50% or so of Britons completely reject evolution.

Britons:

Well to be fair other polls seem to suggest slightly larger or smaller percentages. Any for both Americans and Britons they all mostly seem to say that 50 to 60% of the countries' populations reject evolution, i.e. approximately 1 in 2 to 1 in 1.7.

The English are stupid and the Americans are stupid.

Tonight I was on a bill with a female comic from Canada who seemed to believe she was funny.

So the Canadians are stupid too.

also in britain's defense blackadder is pretty much the best british sitcom

Those statistics are true. However, the American poll says that only 40% of Americans completely reject evolution, which is more in line with what I would expect.

I think we should just agree that people in general are stupid, regardless of nationality.

that has nothing to do with a canadian incorrectly believing she is funny and everything to do with a woman incorrectly believing women can be funny

also: more like five in five britons are dumb nigs

ten in five britons are dumb nigs

There are 3 types of lies. Big lies, little lies, and statistics.

There are way more types of lies than that.

where are these people

i mean i don't want to say that anecdotes count for a lot, but i have literally never met anybody with a poncy accent and bad teeth who thinks evolution is some kind of myth

that's reserved for the stupid sounding ones who worship zombies

well benzss i bet you live in a liberal hellhole where you and all your neighbours are going to hell, just like in JEW York City in the states.

In REAL America (south of the mason-dixon line) people know the truth that the world was invented 8000 years ago by a bi-polar deity who couldn't make up his mind about creating and destroying and then said fuck it and left us to fend for ourselves because it's all in His plan.

Well the truth is that the world evolved 8000 years ago

evolution is all in His plan

If God had an iPod, I'd be on His playlist.

Everyone knows God uses a zune.

Why would Steve Jobs use a Zune?

to test our faith

Jeremy Kyle

vs.

Maury Povich

dumb reaches its long arm across the pond and back again

The Jeremy Kyle Show is the worst/best/worst again programme on British TV.

I actually didn't get this at first. But then again unless I google, I don't usually hear of this term. The only thing I mainly remember is animals licking windows because of the condensation. But anyways usually I am close to a source of clean water. So this never applied to me. Unless maybe you are kid and you are a curious. I remember trying play-dough. It was so salty. Or putting lego in my mouth. When I was a kid I didn't worry so much about germs. But back then if I was hungry I usually had to wait for my parents to feed me. I don't eat play dough or chew on legos anymore. I also sometimes chewed on my toy cars or play food. Maybe I was hungry or something. Anyways I don't do that anymore. I don't remember that much why I did that. Maybe I was bored. I also used to eat paper. But now I don't like the taste of eating paper.

Satori, you're a Freudian goldmine.
