| | Posted: | | | | Americans can be frightfully stupid about everywhere except the USA (and sometimes as stupid about the USA as well), but I'm certain the rest of the world has as high a percentage of people who are fightfully stupid about America and other countries/continents away from their homes. Recent Australian couple in my store: "I thought Los Angeles was the capital of California..." Hong Kong native on where he was travelling next: "I'm going down to Seattle." English family on vacation: "Denver's just a quick few hours drive, isn't it?" We all have many blind spots when it comes to lands outside our own. Some of us study this stuff & know better, but the majority of humans know our neighborhoods fairly well, but little elsewhere. I'm still trying to figure out how long a drive it is from Hilo to Kona...  | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

| | Posted: | | | | I was poking at the US American's because I am one of them  But, you are all correct, the problem does exist everywhere...... I have won so many cases of beer about the number of US states. Most Germans say that we have 52 states, 51 and 53 come up, but never 50! And none of them will believe me, they must also look it up. And they still don't pay up  . and for the record to my German friends...... I don't go around asking this question, it is just something that comes up all the time..... me being the only US American in the area..... ps.... how many of you are googling this right now ???  | | | Premium member since 29 August 2002 ----

| | Posted: | | | | I think we should have sub-flags!!! That way we can know which state/region, etc. we live in!! And then sub-sub-flags for cities and towns!!!1 (Okay, I need to take some drugs to calm down now, I know) |
