To be very blunt... Because Belgian kids aren't shipped back from Estonia in bodybags.
Exactly. You gotta at least know where the country you're at war with is.

I'll take the latter.
There are stupid people all over the world, but it means sooooo much more when they're American. Do we care if little Belgium kids can't find Estonia on the map?? No. Why should we??
It doesn't mean so much more because the stats are about Americans, the shock factor is in the figures. As someone else stated earlier, we've all heard silly stats like this about all our countries.

i cannot believe some of you are trying to defend this???
it's a fucking disgrace in anyone's books surely. if i heard shit like this about my country i'd be embarrased not trying to defend it.
my view is that America is seen by most of the world, and i would wager by a fair proportion of american citizens, as some kind of self-appointed world leader. If you lot sat in your corner of the world and did your bisiness then fine, but when you're waging wars in other countries you should fucking well know where they are.
^^^ Not worth the fight. I can take you to areas here that the people are fuckn stupid. Its the lack of parenting that these kids are idiots. These dumbasses rather watch Mtv than study for school.
Most people who visit America from overseas, love it so much that they want to move here. The average person to talk shit about the United States is usually by someone who has never been here.

i've been to the state many times and love it. but it scares me at the same time. most of the people i've met in the states are shall we say "world wise" and that can be said of everyone on this or most other boards by virtue of the very fact that they are online and interacting with people outside their little bubble. what scares me about the states is how many people are so massivly unaware of the world around them.

not in the big cities. Keep in mind that the smart people are aware of the world around them, its just they really don't care. In the slums or rural areas, yes, there are plenty of morans, but its the same in every country. ignorance is bliss.

I wish that were true. You would think you were right, but America's are extremely ignorant towards the world even in large citites. Which is damn strange for me, because of the many cultures that reside within the borders. I have had some drunk talks in the bar, and all the sudden we end up on world history and it's a dead end. It saddens me deeply.
I remember we had a Governer running here ... on a local news channel that asked to point out where Osama Bin Laden was from ... mind you this was after 911 ... not one could point to the correct country or even close. That is absurd ...

rural areas... IMO theres a difference between the states and say for example europe because of the population density. live in a rural area in europe and you'll still have a lot of contact with the outside world through tourism etc simply because rural doesn't mean isolated to the same degree that it can in the states.
to say that smart people live in cities and morons live in slums and out in the country is a bit of a generalisation dont' you think? I don't see this as a smart/dumb issue anyway... it's being aware of the world around you. i'm sure plenty of people from the slums and rural areas are off fighting in iraq... in fact i'd guess a higher proportion of the army is this kind of person exactly rather than the "smart" ones living in the cities...
