This item demonstrates how stupid the average American is.

I can't believe so many of you are paying this drivel any mind whatsoever

 

[stroker]

My grandfather was a train driver and he swore blind that the the only people he ever turned into pink chunks were average americans, so there it must be true.

Japanese people commit lots of suicide.















HAHAHAGHA I R A FUNNEHMAN

 

[The Fallen Angel]

Someone either commits suicide or accidentally falls into subway trains fairly often in NYC. It usually doesn't make front page news when it happens. The 90 minute stat seems like bull, but getting hit by a train isn't as rare as you'd think.

used to happen in Chicago all the time...im sure it still does, people not paying attention and being too close to the side, or kids running around and their parents not paying attention to them

Well you guys don't understand, Americans are SOOOOOO STUPID!!

We Americans are told that so often, usually by people from other countries, way too many times by fellow Americans who think they're obviously above it all in their genius.

So, the second you leave America and go to ANY other nation, you immediately encounter towering geniuses every two feet.....

Yeah, right.

In other countries, no one every gets hit by a train, or gets in a car accident, or can't read, etc. etc. etc. They're all history buffs too.

The truth is... EVERYTHING EVERY COUNTRY accuses America of doing, they are EQUALLY guilty of.

America isn't full of idiots. It's just represented by idiots.

 

[rhiannon]

America isn't full of idiots. It's just represented by idiots.

Just like every other nation...because for some reason, all those idiots make it on TV while the others are sitting at home, seeing it and being embarrassed to death!

 

[smokinj]

The conclusion I have come to is, people don't kill people, trains kill people. Also, trains are pure evil. Don't go near a train and you might live. As stupid Americans, we can't stay away from them so these senseless train deaths will continue.

Yeah I got sucked into this stupid thread.

Just reading the title I would have thought it was the Snuggie, it showed in the commercial for it a whole family wearing it at their family member's sporting event. They are pretty comfty though

 

[TheTickleMonster]

Well I'm sure it happens more in the USA because our country is bigger than most counties with train so it's more likely to hit someone. They're also more widely used. During the day a train seems to pass by my home every 15 minutes.

It just feels right...

This item demonstrates how stupid the average American is. Every 90 min. someone in the country is hit by a train. a train, okay? Trains are on tracks; they can't come and get you. They can't suprise you when you step off a curb. You have to go to them. Got that?

While I do think that the average American is below-average when compared to the average IQ on Earth, and there was even a study (and a documentary) that said so, I must speak out against the validity of your "item."
People get killed by trains due to being drunk, they jump in front of trains to kill themselves, they get hit by trains due to negligence. Death by train is not a valid IQ measurement, because it is not solely IQ dependent.
You could argue then that people are stupid because they die due to intoxication, however many intelligent people succumb to alcohol as well.
This is simply not a valid argument, so unless you yourself have a low IQ, and are as such incapable of understanding why this argument is not valid, I must conclude that your desire was to provoke, in which case I believe you haven't a place in a civilized discussion.

Did someone deliberately wait exactly one year to resurrect this thing?

 

[GEORGIATKLER]

"Feral Trains in American" on the next Dateline..... So Amtrak stays ON the tracks, huh? Looks like as obese as Americans are getting it must be a cowcatcher design flaw... "When at a railroad crossing, here's how to figure, in case of a tie, the train is much bigger."

 

[General Zod]

Ban the train.

 

[paracarl44]

In 2007.

There were 13,067 train related accidents resulting in 851 deaths.
