Are Americans so devoid of the skills of thinking that they offer as answers to philosophical questions mere drivel?

I liked your question. So many answers come to my mind. Some people obviously want points and some obviously want to put ridiculous answers down because they can. Some might actually think that their "drivel" is a good response.
Maybe people have forgotten how to wax philosophical. It seems to be something that requires too much thought in this age of text messaging, instant gratification, and micro sound bites.
Oh, by the way, I'm not an American - I'm a Canadian.

Yes. Good overgeneralization. That's always the mark of an intelligent, thoughtful, philiosophical individual. We drivel-minded morons over here in America bow to your superior foreign intellect.

If you haven't figured it out by now, you never will. & by the way Americans are not the only people answering questions on this site.

Some people probably just want two points. I don't know if many people think very deeply these days.

It's all about wealth, happiness, pride, and work from others. They get things done by slacking. People are melting away their brains nowadays.

Maybe people are just trying to rack up the points here.

Better to keep your mouth shut
