eH?

That's rubbush... whoops - that's a genuine type-o, but I think I'll leave it in.

It might remind some people that a basic understanding of geography is a handy thing to have.

No. I assure you she was genuine. Unfortunately if I repeated the test in Liverpool the map would consist of all the local banks and their get away routes and the football ground Anfield.

Depends on where they live and how much white they've got in their ancestry. Most wannabes with a great great grandmother that was a Cherokee Princess call themselves Native Americans, but the skins living on the reservations near here prefer the term American Indian if they're in academia, and simply NDN among friends.

The notion of "political correctness" is nonsense.

Suppose you get them everywhere!
I have two similar stories:

some 10-15 years ago, when I was in high school, a friend of mine went to U.S. as an exchange student. from time to time she send letters to local newspaper about her experiences there. one was pretty unforgettable: - they were having geography at school, and the teacher asked the class to point out where the britain is on the world map. my friend was the (i]only one[/i] who could place it correctly!!! pretty amazing.

the other story happened to my old friend who was building a paper factory in italy. - there was a company pr-dinner, where he met a couple of guys from the u.s. -now, this friend of mine speaks very poor english, but nevertheless they started talking. of course they soon started asking "where you're from?" and my friend aswered "i'm from finland." the other american had no idea where finland is, but the face of that other guy lit up, and he said "I know where that is! I sometimes drive through it when I go to see my parents in the north!"

😀

in all fairness I must add that many finns wouldn't probably be able to place central american countries correctly. still, they would know roughly the right area and absolutely would know that they're part of america.

And don't start on England, we are the only friends you've got.😉
America is NOT the equivalent to 50 separate countries, Mr. Get your facts straight. We were considered a nation of states until we had a bloody Civil War that took 600,000 lives. Afterward, we became known as a single entity of 50 states, and that is what we are today. Phuk with one of us, and you phuk with the other 49 states...and don't start on America, (and I don't mean the pukes in Latin America and Puerto Rico, Whitedimon), because WE are YOUR only friend too....so move over, you're hogging the sheets....😉

Story time...

When I was teaching English at the University of Warsaw (Poland) in the late 80's, we had some mock presidential elections.
The winning candidate had only one point in his manifesto i.e. to declare war on the United States of America. The reasoning behind this, supported by the majority of the students at that time, was that if there was a war, the US would invade and occupy Poland, and thus Poland would become the 51st State in the union...

Same as with Americans: we like the British, except the "arrogant" plonkers that London was full of the last time I visited...phukers wouldn't even give me the time of day...phuk London and Londoners in general....the rest of England was warm and welcoming, especially the "bird" I met in Porstmouth....

Those students had some twisted and bizarre reasoning. Poland wouldn't have become the 51st state. We invaded and occupied Iraq, but do you think it'll become a state? Hardly.

What would we be without foreign invasions?

Just a bunch of Indians who don't even know they're Indians; it took a foreign invasion from Spain to tell them that.

I know that, you know that, but they didn't. At that time, Poland was a seriously fcuked up country, and students didn't really understand much about the Western (non communist) world. Anything would have been better than another 50 years of Red Rule, and if it didn't work out, at least it wouldn't have been much worse.
The only reason why the semi-illiterate and well know buffoon Lech Walesa was elected President was that "if not him...who?"
Even now, the Polish lower Parliament has members from the Polskie Partia Przyjaciele Piwo ("PPPP" or The Polish Beer Lovers' Party). Their policies are reasonably sound (good conditiond for hop farmers; cut pollution and protect natural sources of water, lower tax on beer, etc.), and again, it's a case of "if not them..."

One thing I used to tell my students was that in Poland, where the population distrusted nearly all the candidates and turnout was about 40%, the President wasn't the man who got the most votes for him. It was the man who got fewest votes against him. No one really wanted Walesa as president because he couldn't even speak Polish properly. In the US, you tell "stupid jokes" about Pollacks. In Poland, they tell stupid jokes about Walesa.

Lech and Danuta (his wife) were walking through the fields near their old home, and Lech found a kiwi fruit.
"Danuta, look at this potato, I've never seen one like this before."
"Oh, Lech, that's not a potato, it's a kiwi fruit. They make shoe polish from them..."
