I am just curious have you traveled to the states? If so who did you have conversations with?

You seem to think that all Americans are unintelligent idiots. Perhaps the reason that some Americans don't know about other countries is because they don't care. Most are hard working trying to take care of their families and enjoying their lives. Yes, enjoying their lives in a free democracy where they can come and go as they please. Where a woman if she is raped can get justice and not be put in jail or worse. Where a woman can vote and speak her mind. Where a woman's opinion matters and counts. Where a woman can walk down a street without her head being covered and not be called degrading names (happened to me many, many times in Saudi). Where a young woman can go to school, get an education, have a career, marry whom she chooses if she chooses. Where anyone can practice whatever Religion they want to without consequences. The fact that this does not happen in other countries is just so confusing to us. So you see many Americans look at people in these type of countries/cultures as ignorant and backwards.

I know you will have some snide comment to my words above. Let me save you the time. Yes, we have crime, we have young girls having children out of wedlock, yes, we have a high divorce rate. It's not perfect - I've said it before.

Just curious, I never did quite catch where you were actually from. Does everyone in your country know evertything there is to know about other countries?

Also, I am very thankful when I go to a foreign country and someone speaks English to me. I also thank them for that.
