Are Americans Really That Stupid?

 In response to a post on my journal.

Titania says:  And obviously, trying to talk intelligently with you is absolutely useless -you are angry and you have that right, but I'll waste no more time trying to dialog with you. Your ranting grows tiresome.

This sort of proves my theory that a lot of people are too dense to understand.  It has been my experience that when a person says something and another doesn't agree the conversation ends.  People don't ask questions, they only want to have everyone think the same as they do. They aren't really interested in why a person has certain opinions.  They only care about their own agenda or they want to debase anyone who says something they don't want to hear.

 I'm posting to let people know what I think or just bring to attention various situations.  I don't know who's reading it.  I answer whomever writes, I try not to be nasty unless someone attacks me 1st.  If as in the case above someone is finished responding to me that's up to them.  Doesn't bother me one way or the other.  But to try to disgrace my character for what I think, IMO is narrow minded and petty.

This is a JOURNAL, it's personal.  Thoughts, opinions, experiences, etc.  No one or AARP that I know of has said what we can or can't say as far as opinions or subject, so that's all I am doing.  If someone doesn't like what I write, don't read it but have the decency to let others feel free to express what they want in their own journal.

I am not having conversations with anyone, I am replying to comments on my journal.  To imply I'm not speaking intelligently because it's not what a person wants to hear is rude.

I'm on another computer as was the reply above, don't know what will happen but here's goes ...
Wanted to add, the 'question' are Americans stupid ...it's a thought, a title to the journal, not really something at this time for debate. But whatever! LOL, I don't know, I just say things. People get upset! The only thing that bothers me more than stupid people is people who drive. LOL, yes, people who drive, period. They don't signal, they go too slow or too fast, they blast their stereos, they cut in front, etc., etc. Very annoying.
Oh, whoops. There I go again, complaining, haha

Thank you, Kicke, for your thoughtful response. Yes, I know that I incompass too much sometimes but I'm not trying to debate. If I was, I would think things through and be more factual, etc. As I said, it's just a journal. I've never written a diary before so I think this is just ramdom thoughts of things that happen to occure, day to day. At least that's what I think people write in those things. Anyway, thanks for understanding

Your initil question , are all american's stupid, is very hard to reply to. It leaves yourself open to have people blow their minds open to whatever stirs their fancy at the time. In all open response, most all people in all countries are stupid regarding most matters. To answer better and to open a better dialogue, you need to tie down your issues to a much more defined matter and not too many subjects at once. I like to argue, i enjoy expressing my ideas, but I realy enjoy an educated discussion on matters. However, don't go to Religion or Politics, these are both endless exercises in frustration, the perpetual endless stories
