European school children learn North American geography (states, capitals, major rivers, lakes and mountain ranges) at age 13. What's your point?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69289081


Lol no they don't. Not one of you could pass a 50 state and capital test. You can call it whatever you want. Run along now.

Then why are Africans flooding out of Africa, and heading to Europe & North America??

Would it not be more logical to clean up their own continent??

Or are they like geese -- shit up one yard, then move to the next, shit it up, and so on......................???

We have enough geography of our own to worry about.

:usa/euro:

That's not even including our biggest state, Alaska, which is more than twice as large as Texas and Texas is the size of France.

So, I'll take a geography test over Europe and take shit for not doing well on it as soon as you ace one on American geography.

Deal?

Here's our States and population centers if you need a study guide.

Also if you're wondering if this thread is just another American excuse to be a douche and show off, the answers is yes, yes it is.

global leverage upon local influence constantly is the notion within this statistic

In the global system today, the dollar and the euro together represent about 40% of world GDP. When nations with exchange rate links to one of the two mega-currencies are added – 13 nations including China, the Persian Gulf states, Hong Kong, parts of South America and Africa are tied to the dollar; 22 nations, mainly in Europe and Africa, are linked to the euro – the combined dollar-euro area is more like two-thirds of the world economy.

whathave you been using, it has nothing to do with the size of the states. US education system is one of the worst in the Western world.

France takes a pop shot even though they refused to help us liberate their own Country, and Americans still don't give a hoot about where the lines are drawn on Europe.

All the bickering and posturing in this thread from all sides fails to address the relevant point.

Europeans learn North American Geography because they have desired to immigrate here(NA) for the last 300 years, not so much for Americans wanting to go back to Europe.

Are Europeans learning Antarctica's geography? Hell no because there's no one waiting to immigrate to that continent.

If you're arguing who's smarter cause they know stuff then you lost when you ran off at the fingers to begin with, because as has been pointed out Europeans for the most part have desired to immigrate here for hundreds of years therefore teaching the children is valuable.

So to wind this up I dreaded the 50 states test, why? Because there's states i'll never go to, never desire to, and had to clutter my brain with data I would never need, and guess what, the states I've been to (12 states) I never needed to know where or what the capitol was while I was in the state.

I won't get into the propaganda school systems we all have had to deal with as kids and young adults and why things are taught as they are these days.

It's funny isn't it.. most of the Americans don't even know their own history. They're telling other nationalities that the US is theirs while they took it from the American Indians in the first place. besides that. New York was once a Dutch colony, if we didn't trade it with the English for Suriname, everyone would have spoke Dutch. never wondered where most of area names come from? for instance harlem?

Most American Indians died from disease brought over by nasty Europeans. It wiped out up to 90% of them. Settlers moved here to empty cities and shattered tribal areas.

Do you ever wonder why the America's were populated by Europeans all of a sudden and not centuries earlier? It's because before they died from disease, there was a country full of savages that would eat you as soon as you embarked off the boat.
