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

Oh Yes, not at 13,but at highschool exam it at least used to be mandatory.13 stripes to 50+ stars
Same for CCCP -russia who just fell apart some time ago 1990-ish.
That was harder to pass with all the new states.

I don't know about current educational levels, but i'm old school-ed

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?

Europeans took it from the Native Americans. We then took it from the Europeans.

It's been a pleasure identifying various European hypocrites on this site who can't pass a US geography test and neither can their dumbass kids yet they expect America to be able to pass one from Europe.

Even though it's a considerably smaller land mass than america and serves absolutely no purpose for us to know because we can't drive there.

Which coincedently is the exact same reason they don't know shit about US geography.

The difference is america doesn't get butt hurt or cry about euro tards not knowing our geography and the one time an american points out how retarded they all are they meltdown and start crying about everything in the world american except geography, in a freaking geography thread.

Epic Snowflakes the lot of you.

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.

Ya'll are too crowded. An acquaintance of mine from England who is 30, told me that some animals have gone extinct or become endangered during his lifetime because of the ever increasing population (due to immigration) intrusion into the animal habitat. The US immigration problem is massive, so I hope something will be done about it soon.

We're really nowhere close yet.

Ppl throw around first , second and third world without knowing what they mean.

For instance second world is for communist countries. That's the only kind of second world country there is.

All I can say to anyone who thinks America is in the same universe as a third world country is to go to one. Then leave the tourist area.

Better yet go out into the country a good 20 miles from the city aND find a town.

You'll never make that comparison again

But all the dumb-ass liberalism throughout Europe has been even worse than our dumb-ass liberalism in the US. Which shows you just how bad things are in Europe.

However, the libtards in America are increasingly buying into the idea that focusing on Europe is a sign of pro-white racism, elitism and Western imperialism. So it must be discouraged.

Re: WHY AMERICANS DON'T BOTHER LEARNING EUROPEAN GEOGRAPHY EXPLAINED IN ONE IMAGE
I read a funny story once about a couple of Brits who arrived in New York with a plan to tour the United States.

They were going to drive down the coast to visit Miami and the Florida Keys, then drive over to Texas, then up the Mississippi to Chicago, then route 66 to California, and up the coast to Seattle, then back across the mountains and the northern states to New York for departure.

The American they recounted their plans to asked how long they were staying, and they said "a few days".

I wouldn't laugh at them for being stupid, although they forgot to check the mileage.

I took a short tour of Europe and I was astonished at how quickly I found myself in another country, which spoke a completely different language, and in another capital.

It really was a shocking blow to my imagination. It was so damned small. I was just as stupid as the Brits. I had never really bothered to look at a map and count the miles and compare them to the miles between places in America.

Europeans sometimes complain about the wastefulness of Americans, who consume too much fuel. But they fail to realize that we have to cover much greater distances than most of them can imagine.

It can be shocking to see it.

My sister married a man from Panama. When she first brought him to America, they flew to Florida, and drove to Chicago. The drive only covered a small portion of the entire continent, but all the way, her husband was stunned by what he saw. He kept shaking his head and saying "my poor little country".

He had seen movies, depicting American cities, and he too could have looked at a map and counted the miles, but nothing compares with the experience.

In addition to the experience, there is something called the economy of scale.

The scale of America demands a big economy.
