What country has the most ignorant people?

Â©

The USA.

I am from England.

The question asked about ignorance, not about education. To the guy below who mentioned about scientific breakthroughs: Yes that's very true, but this question is about ignorance. The simple fact is that your average American knows far less about the rest of the world than your average person from anywhere else in the developed world. This is due to the USA being a very insular society which feels (possibly correctly) that it doesn't need the rest of the world, so it doesn't need to know about it.

USA....

We are so caught up in our own sense of entitlement, we have no clue what happens in the rest of the world, or how the world views us.....Its really pretty sad...

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

U.S.A in my opinion
I'm from the u.s.a. but fortunately for me I'm leaving in few years.

PANCHA

I've only been to the US/Mexican border.And I didn't actually "meet" anyone there.So I cannot give a "educated" answer.I will say there are ignorant ppl from all countries.The MOST ignorant.....no comment.

The US -- very narrow minded

aka DarthDad

The country with the most ignorant people are:

China
India
USA

See the pattern?
The more people, the more ignorant people.

I am from Canada and our ignorance percentage is as high as any of yours'!

My question to you: besides acting like any idiot on yahoo, what are YOU doing to eliminate ignorance?

^^^^^ To the answer above....how are we (USA) the most ignorant...when there are countries like SOME of the middle east countries that have groups called AL-QUEDA and HEZBOLLAH. those are the most ignorant people.

As predicted...US bashers have begun.

I think that question cannot be answered objectively.

Deb

I would say that it is the country with the largest population.

And as for the US shoving our ideals down peoples throats....does anyone recall the word Jihad?

And just what point did you hope to make with this question? To cause more division? That will make the world a better place!

And you're damn right Americans have opinions and think they're right, what kind of flippin' moron would have an opinion they think is wrong. And we voice our opinions because we have that right.

We don't all support some of the decisions our government makes, but what person in a free country does?

What is ignorant is to base your opinion of MILLIONS of people based on the political decisions made by that countries government. Should we base our opinions of you based on Tony Blair? Or the people of Iraq based on Saddam Hussein? Or why don't we judge Islam based on Bin Ladin, or Christianity based on Pat Roberts?

Here's a thought, it is ignorant to judge an entire country, race or religion based on the actions of a few. Stop looking for reasons to hate and try and find reasons to, if not love, then at least appreciate, people that are different from you. That would make the world a better place.

the most ignorant country is the one with people like harrison in it.
(usa?)
-australia

Charles D

I am from the USA, and Burnika Faso has the lowest literacy rate, and is probably therefore the most ignorant.

harrison

FRANCE, for forgetting who it was that saved them, twice. NORTH KOREA, for threatening the most powerful nation the world has ever known, IRAN, for taking over a hundred citizens of that same powerful nation hostage for over a year, CUBA, for sacrificing the well-being of its own people just to prove a point (NORTH KOREA and the USSR [R.I.P.] fit in the category as well) the NETHERLANDS for legalizing almost everything, and SAUDI ARABIA and CHINA for their persecution of Jesus Christ.

To Bouncing Molar - You're right, I'm an American. So, who are the Aussies going to call when they're staring down the gun barrel? Even though you insult us, I still don't think Austrailia is full of ignorants, other than you.

cool.panamania

The USA. The xenophobia here is ridiculous.

I am from the USA.

Dr. HOUSE

I'm from the good old U.S.A. and I've got say, seems like we are so far advanced from the rest of the world INCLUDING great Britain when it comes to war tactics and weapons that the people here are simply trying to cover their own countries ineptitude. The Brits for example still don't know electricity, they have to do EVERYTHING backwards when it comes to wiring, Seems like we are pretty smart when it comes to you all needing help! The only thing that makes my fellow Americans ignorant is their insatiable appetite for helping other countries who make fun of us. Frakkin unappreciative losers.....triple digit for instance thinks gay people only live in my country.....I bet the inbreeding in his family runs rampant! The United States leads the rest of the world in technology....Japan is second and they simply copy us....I would have to say that the stone aged middle east is the stupidest of all.....killing, and maiming their own families just to prove a religious point that is so outdated it aint funny. The rest of you step in line above them in the order you feel you fit but remember this, AMERICA IS ON THE TOP OF THAT LIST!

Angela

I'm from Canada. I say United States. Mostly the people in authority, though. Sorry, guys. :]

Orlando57

it would be based on what formal schooling ,or the wisdom of elders passed on for thousands of years, or the common sense of a hunter in a jungle ,,or the seasonal knowledge of generations of farmers all around the world,, free public education is a recent developement ,,and not universal to the planet yet ,,so the question asks for a series of qualifications ,,and is inherantly biased

Ricky

It is funny reading all these people listing ANY country other than their own. Unless they have been there themselves, I hope they can see the irony in answering with any other country.....

l00kiehereu

USA? Okay, never mind that most scientific breakthoughs occur here, particularly in my home state of California, but I guess you all are just too enlightened to know better?

Idiots.

My vote is North Korea. Their government's pppressive policies keeps people in the dark because smart people are dangerous.

dpjejj

We may have an education, but we are ignorant as to the workings of the rest of the world.

â˜†Princess NonOâ˜†

(from canada) umm.. I think every country has ignorant and non ignorant people, whether its the states, canada, france, or suadi arabia...

but... from my personal experince,, and i dont mean to generalize or steroetype, but perosnally, i've seen a lot of americans who are.. not that every american is, maybe i just got to deal with more americans on issues than others..

turntable

i can't decide there are too many European countries to choose from...Americans must not be to ignorant...we are number 1 in the world...

JustHonest

What ! Again?

Oh alright,
France, France and France

ROB. B

Well Mat I'm sorry to say the good old U.S.A ,. right now, Look Who were letting run things for us.. Also were a very spoiled bunch of people, we want everything handed to us.. Your friend from Tennessee...ROB

Billy Talent

Yup I think its USA. I am from England too.

happybeanstalk

The United States of America

The ENTIRE Middle East (sorry ...most of the men..narrow minded)

punkvixen

USA.
Im from Australia (or as most Americans ask 'that place where arnold swartzeneger is from huh?'.. No that's Austria you ignorant septic tank!)
It seems that most Americans are completely blind to the rest of the world and I especially get annoyed when they have trouble understanding someone speaking English just because they don't have an American accent. They have subtitles on tv when someone is speaking English in anything other than an American accent!
I am deeply in love with an American man and know many wonderful Americans but in general, they are the most ignorant people on the planet and unfortunately the rest of the world thinks of them as stupid. Whenever I told another Aussie that I was going to marry an American, their usual response was 'why would you want to marry a stupid American?' Afterall, they are justified in asking.. look who they have running their country.

What country are in? That's the one.

Anias

Let's accept each other the way we are. Each country has good things and bad things. It's not fair when we generalize...
