Britland is the Middle East from an American prospective. Thecentral Arab world is only the Middle East from a European prospective.

If you want to claim superiority it behooves you to offer proof. I'm not doubting that there is a very ignorant percentage of America but not ever American is a slack jawed idiot.Mike_6002 wrote:At least we can find the Middle East and know that England is in Europe!!!!!!!!!!!!! <Arghhh..we are going into one our flame wars again Strombringer but on a public level this time>Stormbringer wrote:better how and how much?

I will next time, your right, just read the damn article and form your own opinion nuff' saidSpanky The Dolphin wrote:When the "quotes within quotes" bullshit gets that long, you need to fucking edit it.
Jesus Christ, is this retarded.
Quite sad.He said nine out of 10 young Americans could recognise the United States on a world map, "which is reassuring, but it does make you wonder about the other 10 percent."
I can't name the states in US of A but this is really sad.Sea Skimmer wrote:This runs into the same problem as America's lack of overseas travel. It’s a fucking bigger country. Traveling from one side of America to another is similar in distance to traversing much of western and Eastern Europe.
I can name every country in Europe, Asia, North and South American along with much of Africa. How many Europeans can name every American state, many of which are comparable in size and population to European states?
When asked to find 10 specific states on a map of the United States, only California and Texas could be located by a large majority of those surveyed. Both states were correctly located by 89 percent of the participants. Only 51 percent could find New York, the nation's third most populous state.
They're not hard to find, just go to any intercity of the deep south.Mike_6002 wrote:Alright that's true but they are hard to find, but it's a funny article, consession accepted?

It's something, more like frightening. But it's not really a suprise, on the whole Western civilization is going to hell in a hand basket. It's getting dumber so it's no suprise.
I blame the whole of western civilization. They whole system is designed to reward low attention spans.Mike_6002 wrote:That is a sad fact, I blame video games warps the kids mindsStormbringer wrote:They're not hard to find, just go to any intercity of the deep south.Mike_6002 wrote:Alright that's true but they are hard to find, but it's a funny article, consession accepted?

Yup Western Civilzation has is dying a slow painful death, Conssession Accepted?I blame the whole of western civilization. They whole system is designed to reward low attention spans.
To blame anyone thing like that is a cop out It's ignores a wide range of other social problems.
