Wow, 50 scalded out of a population of 320 million.

 

Surely that would suggest the vast majority of Americans aren't stupid?

HOW MUCH?!?!?!

 

I may be of limited intelligence, but the last time I checked, which was a few years ago now, the population was only 300 million.

 

And the last time I checked before that (about a decade ago) it was 250 million.

 

I thought GW Bush Inc closed them borders between Texas and Mexico :loopy:

Well in the race to the bottom, in education is it seems a fight to hold onto such a prize, and we in the UK and the US can be proud of having won such a prize

In 2012 it was 313.9 million. Extrapolate based on previous years & round to nearest 10 million.

 

And the last time I checked before that (about a decade ago) it was 250 million.

 

It was ~250m in 1990.

How does this prove it? Americans aren't stupid, but I get the impression you haven't met many.

 

There's some stupid people in the USA, but that's the same as here. Here, look at a list of IQ by country -

The USA ranks=9 whilst we are slightly above at =7
