Tomm Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Asking about states is identical to asking about countries for you. Our states are all bigger than europeon countries for the most part.... To be honest, I know european countries just as well as I know UK counties anyway (if not better). And I bet I can name 30 states. With a bit of trying and brainstorming, a couple of my friends and I worked out all 45 states ( ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a bit of trying and brainstorming, a couple of my friends and I worked out all 45 states ( ).all 45 states? There are more than that. I would expect you to be able to name every european nation, all the UK countries, all the old russian countries since disbanded, turkey/greece/iran/iraq that area. We can have a show off at koxx days, you bring a map and I'll bring a map. Pretty good at the provinces of canada? How about mexico and south america? Get those last states too, might take some more "brainstorming" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 all 45 states? There are more than that. I would expect you to be able to name every european nation, all the UK countries, all the old russian countries since disbanded, turkey/greece/iran/iraq that area. We can have a show off at koxx days, you bring a map and I'll bring a map. Pretty good at the provinces of canada? How about mexico and south america? Get those last states too, might take some more "brainstorming"You would only know if somebody told you or you have chosen to look it up, so obviously you have been shown in school or took geography, but unfortunately not everybody chooses to take such courses.So the fact brits dont know all 50 states is understandable and the same applies to americans with europe, it's not a big thing, brits know euopean countries a lot more than ur states. I know PLENTY AND PLENTY of people who don't know places 20 miles away from their home, most people don't have a clue where anywhere in the UK is.That video is really good, because i quite happily know where australia is, I find it so hard to believe people would believe it's iran just because it said so, HAHA.Phil.

Si-man Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I took geography at school as a GCSE, didnt tell you where every country is etc though I couldn't tell you where half the places in europe are, let alone name all the US states lol Don't really care where/ what theyre called anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Yes all Americans are dumb. That's why they come up with some of the best economic plans in the world, became the most powerful nation and saved us Brits from zee Germans in WW2. I'm almost positive that if you asked some random European citizens where countries were on a map when they are all labelled wrong, they'd get it 100% right.

AndyT Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 FYI every single american kid has had geography...but unfortunately most schools are complete shit and kids really don't have to learn anything to pass...very sad- teachers get paid basically complete shit and can barely live off their salaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 all 45 states? There are more than that.

Get those last states too, might take some more "brainstorming"I know there's more than 45, hence the "( )" in my post. And why should I be able to do that stuff? This ain't no geography competition. I don't really understand what point you're trying to make. Britain is a blatantly a better country.We should have a vote on here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squince Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) I could draw some stupid shit up and say its what english people think america is.Your ignorance of our country was just as exposed in my huge thread. The majority of english people don't know shit about america; the majority of americans don't know shit about england.Could you label all 50 states? How about 30?
