8. who says they're not Americans?
It's almost nearly in English... I doubt Canadian, Australian or British kids are that dumb.

5. It's what you get if you ugly. Smart therapy, now that's a different matter.
That's apparently another classroom, down the hall and to the left.

22. Not that dumb a question, historically speaking.
I saw a German map recently that identified the entire western half of the Mississippi drainage basin as "Louisiana," I suppose as an offshoot of the Louisiana Purchase--only this was a 1990-something airline map that didn't distinguish US states. It was an odd outsider's view of my own country's geography. Americans still refer to parts of France by its traditional regional names (Gascony, Normandy, Alsace, etc), even though the boundaries were redrawn and provinces renamed decades ago.

26. How young? Granted, our geography knowledge sucks, however, the Sierra Nevada range
does run through California and Nevada, and California is much more well-known. So I can see that happening with someone young enough.

14. After seeing that, I have to say: I, for one, welcome our new Asian overlords....
After seeing the OP, I felt that I needed to say that.

29. yeah - nice generalization there
there are plenty of thoughtful exchanges on FB

I'd be hard pressed to find, among the people I actually care to read posts from, a single stupid exchange.

FB exchanges are stupid if your FB friends are stupid people.

18. Interesting songs on the topics of Asia. In case that was the reason for topic.
Edited on Sun May-30-10 08:10 PM by RandomThoughts
And another reason to be kind.

Notice they understand the multiple pieces by showing many TVs

Asia Heat of the Moment.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfFjb3B9RRw

It has the concept of from avatar and dinotopia also, the thought mentioned where some think they can ride the dragon, or concepts of using rings that are bad for good, the concept in Lord of The Rings that the many nations of Elves, people, Dwarves, Ents, and many others did not agree with.

Conceptual Good News I thinks.
Tiny Dancer
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x391kp_elton-john-tiny-dancer_music

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium

Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

chorus
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Judge people much? There is good and bad in everyone, something to think about.
And anytime someone makes it back it is good news in my view.

19. I'm guessing this is fake.
The background around the words is different from the rest of the background, and it's a little too absurd (I've never seen anyone spell "a" "ah", for instance), to be believable.

20. Maybe...
Though it could be just pixelation from the program that was used to save the image (paint, which can do that).

23. Maybe they're young people who never had geography in school
When I was working a customer service job last year, I was mentioning a customer's location in relation to its distance from the point of shipment. A young coworker, who was going to community college, had no idea where the state was located. She basically said she knew nothing about states and cities, where they are located--and she wasn't concerned about it either. My other coworker, who was around 30, said she wasn't that good at that either. :shrug:

28. You learn the continents in first fkn grade. How could someone not know what a continent is?
Edited on Mon May-31-10 04:24 AM by alphafemale
It would be like not knowing what an ocean is.
