Most Americans aged 18-24 can't find Iraq on the map

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12591413/

6 in 10 can't find Iraq on the map, and 75% can't find Israel on the map.

nothing new. with that kind of president what did you expect from the people

That's not unusual when compared to other countries, and actually depends a little on the school the students come from. There was a research while back and the levels were far from "ideal".

his generals don't blow shit up themselves easy . Bush says yes and no? based on what military training can he make sound judgements? And wait in order to blow up something the generals need him to verify it? Wow i guess this is how it works.

I also have a dark sense of humor. It was more the retort to the idiotic statement that elicited the response that I was laughing at. So the laughy face is really directed more at Rebel9 moreso than at humor in bombing a country which is indeed a serious matter. Hope that clarification helps.

Do we know the statistics for the middle east? Do they know where AMERICA is...that's the real question. Ofcourse they do.

Your President represents the people. Your President is stupid. Nuff said.

(Altho I am just explaining what he meant not my own opinion!)

Exactly, if being stupid gets you to being the leader of the free world, I'll take that anyday.

just more evidence to support what most of us knew already; that your average americans are too inward-looking & self-involved. couldnt give a shit what happens in the rest of the world as they are ignorant, selfish pieces of shit.

im sure this study was faked too lepanto?

Posted by Fir3start3r on May-03-2006 00:30:
