You can probably guess. It's just culturally acceptable there to assume we implues them ALWAYS.

A. I apologize because I was unaware that this was an international site. B. In my defense, it IS a show airing on American television with Jeff Foxworthy as host, so it doesn't seem totally ethnocentric/xenophobic of me to use "we" to colloquially refer to America. C. Calm down.

I don't think we should be as until americans get their prorities straight. America has become an increasingly violent,selfish,greedy ,hedonistic society.I think it's a very sad state of affairs when the people can tell you everything about celebrities and what clothes are in style but couldn't tell you who founded our country or even how to do a simple math function.

Pretty sad isn't it that most American adults don'tknow anything about anything, but still think they have theright to tell others how to live. Maybe this show will put someperspective on just how wrong you can be.When people say to get an education, they mean it, they aren't being rude.

Don't worry, you're not. And part of the reason is because you don't realize you're not. Are they using genius 5th graders for the show? Or just average 10 year old kids?
