Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the US on a world map. Why do you think this is?

Let's see, 20% of Americans. That includes:

Children 9 and under old: 7%

Scenile people who don't give a f**k: 3%

Blind, mentally challenged, or other disability: 2%

People who genuinely don't know or have no need to look at a map: 2%

People intentionally f***king with the pollsters for laughs: 6%

and that 20% are all reptards

Like these?

They do add up to 20% no?

Unlike you, I am a REAL American.

Can't add?

Many Americans are ignorant.

Einstein went to heaven and St. Peter said "many people are trying to sneak into heaven can you prove you are Einstein?". So Einstein wrote out all his famous math so St. Peter said "welcome to heaven". Then Picasso showed up and St. Peter asks him if he can prove he is Picasso. So Picasso produces a painting with his style so St. Peter lets him in. The George W. Bush shows and St. Peter says "Einstein and Picasso proved who they were, can you?" Bush says "who are Picasso and Einstein?" St. Peter says "welcome to heaven Mr. Bush!" LOL!

Do you want a cookie for your shi*ty joke or what

A better question would be Why do stupid people get to vote? Too many stupid people voted in 2008 and 2012. Some of the previously ignorant have learned from their mistakes, but you can't fix stupid.

Well....were they identical?

Why do you not know how to capitalize and use quotation marks correctly you f*cking cracker?

100% of the people who can't identify the USA on the map are ignorant white inbred racists. We know where were at, a bunch of f*ckers stole us and brought us over on boats. Good thing weights hadn't been invented yet, there's a reason whites suck at sports.

Like, you know, whateverrrr.

A National Geographic poll of over 500 young Americans, aged 18 to 24, showed that six per cent failed to locate their own country on a map of the world.

A blind telephone survey of over 1,000 Americans, carried out by the McCormick Tribune Freedom Museum (a museum dedicated to the first amendment), found that more Americans could identify more members of the Simpsons cartoon family than first amendment rights.

Yes, quotation marks would be good IF I were quoting anyone. LOL.

Rednecks and blacks.

Knowing how to locate the US on a world map is a useless piece of knowledge unlike being able to locate the restroom among the nine rooms in a house so the living room carpet isn't saturated with pee.

Dont know but it seems like 100% of non-citizens know how to find their way here.

That includes the Vikings and Columbus who got lost on their way to other places on their old perfect maps.

Far from perfect. Ptolemys map, considered the best at the time, was missing a continent that the US rests on. So you can see how Columbus might have bumped into a big rock on his way to seeking a shorter route to the indies.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, that's why.

I actually would have expected it to be higher than 20 percent. I have low expectations for Americans.

I'm confused. Do you mean 15 pairs of year old twins? Or 15 individual children who happen to be twins? Either way, you're lying.

It's probably a map of the Eastern or Southern hemisphere.

That or they are confused why Canada is better
