Worlds best country at geography is…

I\'m not surprised. The only public schools I went to only made sure that we knew the name, location, and capital of the 50 states. Other than that, it was in World History. They would make sure we knew where the ancient Harapan civilization was etc, etc.

I still can\'t quite comprehend why educated people of every civilized country shouldn\'t be able to pinpoint most major countries to a certain degree. I mean, isn\'t it fairly common sense to be thinking of the outside world sometimes? Do you ever look at a world map?? Do you read books?

Personally I like to be educated and I love to read. I want to learn about other countries, cultures, arts, history etc. because I find it fasinating and interesting.

*baffled*

EDIT: Got all the answers right on the quiz.

If you give me a map, I know where most of the countries are. Capitals is another story

They ARE able to pinpoint most major countries to a certain degree. Just not as well as other countries. The education makes the difference. And should it really baffle you that most people do not look at a map this often? Are we suppose to have maps posted everywhere?

 Do you read books?

Now you are just being an ass.

I didn\'t mean only Americans - I meant people in general. :rolleyes:

And yeah, looking at a world map wouldn\'t hurt anyone. But of course Jerry Springer and McD might take up all your time.

SWEDEN????

Like that\'s a surprise. Sweden (and northern Europe like ole Samwise Gamgee here ) spawned roving Vikings thoughout Europe and the Mediterrenian Sea. Some went as far as North America.

No freaking surprise there. THEY KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE! THEY WILL PILLAGE AND PLUNDER YOUR VILLAGE! :eek:

And the famous line from the most popular Christian prayer :

"And deliver us from the Norsemen, Amen"

Changed later on after the Norsemen discovered video games.

I would really liked to have seen the people who participated in the survey for the US.

   I bet one of them was Bush. :rolleyes:

America the worst. Thats because everyone thinks all those countrys are in the United States and many could care less. Two massive bodys of water does not help much.

Isolation does that to the people.

Thanks for taking our quiz. You answered 89% of the questions correctly.

The Kashmir question f\'d me up

Our school system sucks because left leaning, feel good, eat your alfalfa sprouts parenting has taken our system down the drain.

When you have schools teaching kids to feel good about themselves instead of teaching them that 2+1=3, this is what you get . . . little brains filled with mush.

Exactly, they focus more on how to be nice and right/wrong than the education they need. Let parents parent and teachers teach.

GmanJoe: Thats correct.. Leif Eriksson was the first to sail to America. Later about 25 000 "Vikings" settled in America (according to Thor Heyerdahl) from  the coast of Canada all the way down to New York.


Russia was a form of colony to the Sveas (later Swedes).


Nice quiz.. I got all of them right.

Look what I found on a other forum..
