10 Bizarre Things Americans Believe According to Studies

"It is easier to trick the average person, than it is to convince them that they have been tricked" - Mark Twain An old quote that will ring true for many generations

[@adorabledeplorable5105]

Paul Kaye Exactly . Look at what is happening now .

[@mildredpierce4506]

That's true. With all the internet scams that are common today especially the romance scams, the victims deny being scammed no matter how much everyone else tries to convince them. They send thousands of dollars to a total stranger (usually in Nigeria) who promised millions will be sent to them later. It's hard to convince romance scam victims as well. My sister knows an elderly lady who gave a scammer her personal information and he cleaned out her bank account. Before he did, family and friends, including my sister, kept telling her the guy was a scammer but she wouldn't believe them.

no NancyGuy, it's not about the average person in relation to humanity in general, it's very clearly specific to the U.S.A. Just because your people suffer cognitive deficiencies don't try and elevate yourself by undermining others. This video only relates to you Americans, it isn't about the "average" person because obviously Americans, hence you, are below average. You've already demonstrated you cannot comprehend what you're being told: it's not about anyone else except Americans. Americans ARE NOT the average person. Americans are vastly outnumbered by different nations, Americans therefore are not representative of the "average" person. America doesn't even constitute 5% of the total human population.

Merchants were told they had to pay double the value of goods bought from the colonists and charge them half the value for goods sold to them. the King would pay them the differance out of British taxes.

When I was a kid I was super into dinosaurs and the more I read I was so confused because the church I went to said that the earth had only existed 5,000 years but due to my obsession with dinosaurs I knew billions year old dinosaur bones existed. The discrepancy in timelines didn’t jive well with six year old me so I asked at the end of a church service. The church leader told me that dinosaurs lived with mankind. I politely nodded and fake smiled while thinking this guy was either lying or an idiot. At six I knew that if by any chance humans and dinosaurs coexisted humans would have gone extinct 😂

A person 76 year young doesn't really have a need to worry about something expected to be problematic in specific regions around 2038, especially if they live elsewhere. This also may explain the HTML & USB outcomes as well as realising the importance of "someone else" knowing tech and computer jargon.

It really is a disgrace that so many people are receiving terrible educations. Religion doesn't belong in public school at all, nor should it be allowed to shape curriculum. Honestly I see the spread of Fundamentalism in the U.S. as a bigger threat to our country than Russia... It welcomes ignorance and willfully denies inconvenient facts and truths. But even without the influence of religion on our public schools, clearly we are failing our children. As many have brought up, funding is certainly an issue for many schools, and requiring teachers to instruct course work they are not at all familiar with or qualified to teach is another problem--and that's thanks to the low salaries we pay them, leading to teacher shortages.

[@Serai3]

[@kenappleton136]

I agree, we are destroying our future by not giving our children a proper education, this is the parents fault as much as the government. Parents wont take responsibility for or discipline their children therefore the schools have to use far too much time, effort and money to protect the students and less for actual education. Your also right that religion has no place in the schools, religion is a private matter and should be left for the church. Besides if any religion was allowed any time in the schools then every religion would deserve equal consideration and this just isn't realistic or necessary for the education of our children.

(The average European country stands at 22%.) Actually, when it comes to their prayer habits, Americans are more like people in many poorer, developing nations - including South Africa (52%), Bangladesh (57%) and Bolivia (56%) - than people in richer countries." People can pray as they wish of course. However illogical religious beliefs are simply ingrained to a greater degree in America than the vast majority of other "western" nations. Which can present greater challenges if said beliefs buck up against or substitute for science. Even in leadership roles or stances.

Don't get me wrong, I love America - it would be better without people though :-) Let's just take one point: Americans know barely anything about the constitution. Most prominent in my book would be the first and second amendment. Americans really do believe that the second amendment was written with the intent for anyone to run around bearing arms. Well, it was not and that becomes clear the moment you actually read the second amendment. Yet, one of the most powerful lobbying institutions in the US steadfastly promotes the idea of people running around with guns to celebrate their freedom (when technically the US are the one free country with the least free people in the world since about 1% of the US population is incarcerated - a lot more than are in prison in South Africa which comes in on second place.
