    I'm used to it. I've known so many Canadians I've heard all kinds of myths about Americans that makes us seem stupider than we are. For example:
    All test up though high school are always open-book tests.
    The average American doesn't know their state capital or the vice president.
    You can make all Ds in college and still get a degree.
    They don't offer science until high school because it's too confusing.
    People have actually asked me if these things were true (they're not, btw). It's worrisome that people think we are all dumbasses, although if they watch our TV, movies, or a presidential speech I can understand why they think that. And if we keep consuming this garbage and electing people that can't pronounce 'nuclear' then we really will end up a nation full of dumbasses, because we never asked for anything to make us think. We aren't as stupid as other countries think, but we aren't as smart as we should be either, for one of the richest and most powerful countries.
