I think this "ignorant American" stereotype is about a decade old now. One of the great advantages of being surrounded by BS is that eventually, you become immune to the BS.

thats a rather strange argument. Most arent ignorant because they dont listen to talk radio or the mainstream media???? Where do they get their infomation from then?
Anyway, my main point was dealing with the ignorant view by the likes of laToya and Verne, and is often said by many Americans, which is why they are branded as ignorant. You may wish to ask yourself why is this view held about America by so many in the world
