What makes people in my country stupid?

Sweden was a pretty high educated country some time ago, allthough we have falled back ALOT lately. I wouldn't blame this on the students nor the politicans, or maybe abit on the politicans. If you compare Sweden to Finland, you'll notice an huge difference between the teachers, in Sweden pretty much anyone can become a teacher with just a little motivation, in Finland it's quite hard to be recruited as teacher compared to Sweden, actually it's very difficult. Also have a look at the salaries, there is a quite big difference, I haven't looked it up but I'm sure that Sweden's teachers gets very bad paid, atleast compared to the rest of teachers in europe.

Maybe it's the same situation going on in Chile?

You have explained everything that is wrong with America. Media says we're fat, media says we're stupid, media says we're corrupt; but it's like that everywhere else in the world.
Everyone knows about it here in USA because of the media here. If there were more media in other places in the world, then I'm sure they would be in the same situation as the US.
Let me give you an example, people rip on America for producing kids like Justin Bieber, but he wasn't born in the US, he's not even a citizen of the US. But the US media mass markets the hell out of him that everyone considers him as an American.
The media has brainwashed everyone in the world.

Lol the USA is actually a corrupt and sick place. Watch so many documentaries on the corruption of corporate greed in the USA, it's sick. This does not mean the citizens on America are bad people, it just means that you are all brainwashed into thinking you need money, possessions, and wealth to be happy "The American Dream" someone please explain it to me lol the way I see it: "The American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it".
 
Well, I'm not racist against Americans or anything. But statistically the US is the fattest country in the world.
 
But america has also got the most rich people in the world [People with more than 100kk] ;)

I don't blame you, there are fat people, there are more fat people here than there are in many places in the world.
But statistically, we're not that far ahead of everyone else. We're at #3 with 66.7% of the population being obese, Germany is #4 with 66.5%.

To be honest I'd find it very hard to be proud of being American if that were the case, no offence. (Not that I'm some kind of patriot that loves his own country.)

Actually, it's the "proud of being American" that makes people eat. No matter where you live, turn right at the end of your street, there's a McDonalds right there, parking lot full, then right next door is a Burger King, parking lot full.
Now right across the street, there's a Taco Bell, parking lot full, then right next door is a Wendy's, parking lot full, then next to that is a grocery store, parking lot empty. People just continue to eat whatever they feel like because there are more variety of choices, but here's the kicker, THESE PEOPLE ARE LAZY. All you gotta do is walk out the door of your house, drive one block down (yes, drive, not walk), go up the drive thru and place an order and munch away, but let's not forget, you see on the menu a very juicy size choices of fries and drinks. When it comes to size, people will be like "mmm medium is 69 cents extra, but large is only 99 cents extra, mmm, 30 cents? who the fuck cares, YEA, I'd like a large with that!" Are they proud to be American? YES, why? because it's SIMPLE, it's YUMMY, and it's SPECTACULAR. But again, all these restaurants are founded in the US and mass marketed in the US more than any other place in the world. So, everywhere we go, there's a McDonalds, a Burger King, a Wendy's, a Taco Bell and so on, there's so many of them that all we have in mind is fast food shit. Most people don't know the downside health affects behind it, they just don't give a shit. That's why most of the smarter people are leaner and more fit. So, in conclusion, yes we are fat, and yes there are reasons for that, but you should not generalize the entire US population and consider them ALL fat. There are fat people everywhere on the fucking planet.

I don't consider them "just fat" =p - I've just always gotten the idea that the majority of Americans lack invention (can't think of a better word at the minute). Too many are happy to just "follow the American dream" aka, spend like 15 years in education of various forms, get a job worth 40,000usd/annual. Then work yourself to death. It's just my prejudice, but that's exactly why I'd dislike being American.

Yes everything is so cheap...so much food....but millions of people and children in Africa are starving to death and can't even speak out against it or they'll be killed by their government. But when it comes to helping them out, Americans don't give a fuck, and neither do most Western countries. Does that sound right to you?

Eastern countries are still in ruins and rebuilding from almost 50 years of Communism...and you wanna know who sold the Eastern countries out to the USSR? The West. The West is rich, they should be helping those less fortunate. How about giving a crap for once? What if it was your friends, your family, that was being slaughtered and oppressed by YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT AND POLICE? I bet you would be really disappointed if other people simply said "we don't give a crap". We are all humans. The way our world works now and the way people think is simply disgusting and disgraceful. I hope one day you realize how wrong you are.
