Old statement and stupid...But the correct answer would be "Because they are dumb". Now, would you say that on TV to win?

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

There is some truth in this. It varies though... The poorer ones usually can't afford an education.

I HIGHLY doubt most Americans are that stupid, not to recognize their own county.

OH, I get it. Someone took a sample of random people off the street and quizzed them! Note, a small sample doesn't equal alot of people.

If it's true, it's sad.... but one really sad thing that happened last year in one of my periods was that we were supposed to mark on a map where Washington D.C was, of course some people knew that D.C meant Distric of Columbia and therefore marked Washington D.C somewhere in British Colombia :|

Being unable to locate your state or country on a map is one thing, but your entire country? O_O Surely that' s false.

I'm sure I could interview a few thousand people, and then make a story about the 3 that got it wrong. I can do this with any subject, only to promptly label stereotypes on an entire country for it. Man I am a genius.
