Oh man, not this anymore.
It is not about how many people from the world have access to internet, but how many from each individual country. The country with the largest number give you the odds to find the largest number of morons. Plain and sinple.
You don't say "the Japanese are morons" because of the behavior of posters from France.
You treat each nationality individually, so its pointless your intention of placing all the Americans on one side and the rest of the world on the other.

But in the end your statement is questionable. If there were more Dutch people Online they would have been the ones the world dislikes (according to you that is).

Yes, if there were 200 millions dutch Online they would be the ones branded morons, because inevitable you would find a higher number of Dutch retards within the general Dutch population, and since its in human nature to remember the bad things more clearly than the good things.....

That's your own personal especulation. Since the the country with the larger access to the web happens to be the sole superpower, and somewhat aggressive (nothing compared to good old Europe back in his day), then you can't prove your theory at the moment.

No, no, no, in "the eyes of the world" America is the superpower, and most people that don't benefit from the superpower, hate the superpower. From the Assyrian Empire to America today. To be hated by the envious without cause, the would-be superpowers, the have-been superpowers, or the powerless enemy, comes with the job of superpower. Its right there in the contract, and not in the fine print.
So, it all boils down to senseless, empty, and wounded national pride. You hate the superpower because you are not it, you hate the supepower because you want to be it.
I bet that if you were the superpower, you would have already "fixed" all the wrong things in the world, wouldn't you?
I'm sorry for breaking it to you, but if one day your country becomes the superpower, its going to be hated as much as the US is hated today.
P.S: A free cookie to whoever finds out how many times I used the word "superpower" in this post.
