Stupid Americans can't even do a proper poll:

Quote:

In the telephone survey of 1,016 Americans 77% of respondents voted Michael Jackson to the top of the fool's list, followed by 70% who voted for his sister.
That's 147% percent who voted for the Jacksons :rolleyes:

danielf: note the "followed by."


I'd vote Michael Moore. Or perhaps the Jacksons. Hmm. Hard choice.

Bush is who i think is the most foolish american

Micheal Moore is one of the best, although steve jobs would be close to the top too.

I am not from the USA so i dont actually know! I mean all we get is the media and people like bush are sent up so much that its hard to have a proper view. I mean theres a lot more foolish people than him in the usa surly! :)

Jerrek said moore and I can see wheres he is coming from while i like his books and films a lot of them are funny but not a fair view.

For example in Bowling for...... he shows a town where a child got shot then shows the presedent of the NRA going to the town a fews day later and saying guns would be banned over "dead body" (not his actual quote which had something to do with hands but i forgot it) It turns out that he said this months before at another location and when he went to the girls town he gave a talk about responsabilty and payed tribute to the girl. However moore edited it so it showed what was shown.

This is what I mean by media and how it can look. Also he comes out as anti-men and pro-women and suggests that men are not needed in stupid white men (towards the end). He himself is a man and some of his views about this are scarly.

While I dont think he is foolish i dont think he is a hero etc etc He lies and changes footaage and statstics to suit his own means, just what he accusses the American goverment of doing

No I think the most foolish are those who voted for him, and inflicted him onto the world.
