Re: World Map According to Americans
I hope there are no over patriotic Americans on this forum. If there is...
It is funny though.

Re: World Map According to Americans
Lol, there is definitely some truth to this. I'm finishing up my degree in International Studies and you'd be amazed how many people in my degree program (international studies, I say) cannot pick out countries as significant as China or India on a map.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
Re: World Map According to Americans
Should be the world map according to Republicans. Of course, to hear them tell it, Republicans are the only "real Americans" anyway.

Re: World Map According to Americans
No, let's not be all political and crap. I have known just as many mega-left types who didn't know South America from their assholes. It's not political leaning - it's the fact that Americans just don't place a lot of emphasis on the world outside of their corner of the planet.Hatta wrote:Should be the world map according to Republicans.

This really made me laugh. Clever. Very clever!
Re: World Map According to Americans
Ignorance of geography knows no political bounds, that is true. But the values embodied in that particular map are pretty clearly right wing. A similar map could be drawn up for liberals, pointing out where the best drugs come from, and where the friendly socialists are. It would be about as amusing.

Re: World Map According to Americans
Good thing being in the Geography Bee helps me actually pick out countries on a map.
Just because some Americans don't know where Canada is doesn't mean the majority does.

Re: World Map According to Americans
I would assume that most people period are ignorant of geography, not just Americans. Funny picture though.
