h00nta Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Harvey Goldsmith claimed on BBC 1 programme 'News 24 Sunday' that "the average American doesn't know where Africa is" and went on to say - "we had this problem 20 years ago". Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E t h a n Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 Not much to discuss. The average American doesn't know where Iraq and Afghanistan are, and they've been fighting wars there for a while. But your average American does know where his/her nearest Walmart is, and that's the most important thing, surely! ;) PS Of course there are a lot of smart Americans out there too! :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Carlton Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 people don't know where ontario is , and it shares a border with like 8 states...I would beleive most people in the us wouldn't be able to point it out on a map of north america...saying most don't know where africa's a pretty good bet. find ontario..then nunavut and save your countries reputation.

.... Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 What's the point of this outside of bashing the US? I'd venture the say people in your country aren't geographical experts either. and Yeah, I could pretty much find any country on the map, thank you very much. The live 8 promoter is ignorant.
