Is the USA the dumbest country in the history of the world?

More than half of Americans believe “Arabic numerals” – the standard symbols used across much of the world to denote numbers – should not be taught in school, according to a survey.

The digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are referred to as Arabic numerals. The system was first developed by Indian mathematicians before spreading through the Arab world to Europe and becoming popularised around the globe.

Seventy-two per cent of Republican-supporting respondents said Arabic numerals should not be on the curriculum, compared with 40 per cent of Democrats. This was despite there being no significant difference in education between the two groups.

Thank-you, thank-you. They're very ignorant and likely stupid. At least half of them.
Most of my anti-American threads are directed at what they do to themselves, which leads you to believe they are a bit thick.

Confusion plays a role but arrogance is key as it leads to sloppiness.

They have great teeth though and will help you out if you're in a jam

God bless them all. please

Tickle is U.K. so it has to be pointed out that India was a great little colony until the Church of England simply had to spread the good word. India ran the buggers off.

Come to think of it I think that’s how the fall of the whole British Empire played out.

That’s dumb.

Thank God Americans are so dumb. Our whole economic system is structured to fleece them out of their hard earned money. Wouldn’t want it any other way. Love this country.
