Right. So in other countries do they sit in front of maps all day and just memorize where cities of the world are? What if I were to just randomly come up to some guy in Finland or something and say “Can you tell me where the town of Raccoon Bend is found? Your intelligence and the general intelligence of the entire population of Finland depends on your answer.” Does a person’s intelligence depend entirely upon how many cities he knows, and where they are located?

Helsinki is in Finland, by the way, and Raccoon Bend is in Texas.

Yes, hobo, and “the most common use”, to those outside the small-minded place called America IS the country of Georgia, and not the place where they hold The Masters once a year.

Your reaction is typical of the sort of person, who, in global chatrooms, when asked the old A/S/L question, invariably put “M/35/OH” – or whatever two-letter abbreviation for their State happened to be appropriate, quite ignorantly assuming that the entire planet was aware of the said abbreviations. My nickname in all the chatrooms I ever visited was the same as this one, and equally invariably I would reply – to the A/S/L question, “M/35/Have a guess ” – and I lost count of the number of times Americans said something along the lines of “I don’t know, that’s why I asked”.

It was ONLY Americans who came up with the classic replies of “Helsinki? In Texas, maybe?”, “Isn’t it somewhere near India?”, “I don’t know, near Europe?”, and “wtf do you mean, have a guess, how tf can I have a guess, it’s a big world”.

Do degrees really matter when you pay your way through it… First the teachers have pressure because his dad is who he was and he was supposed to be great, so they aren’t supposed to fail him, but when you “donate” all that money to the school every year, that’s even more pressure. In addition, Harvard is becoming famous for being hard to get in (without lots of money), but for grade inflation. That is, teachers feel that students worked hard to get in and give them better grades. I had a friend who went there and had to transfer to a “lesser” school because Harvard was too easy. She says you would have to try our hardest to fail anything, and with some teachers, you cannot even fail.

That aside, the joke was great, many Americans are stupid like that (I can say it, I live there) and thought it was the state (not me, I have friends in the country Georgia and tend to think of it first).

I mean all the totally made up not really funny George Bush jokes. The only president ever with an MBA – from Harvard no less. Those who saw their candidates go down to defeat twice did so fooling themselves thinking GW is an idiot. If they had taken him seriously and recognized his intelligence (versus, say, one of their candidate who flunked out of college the first time) they would be today be close to finishing eight years of Democratic rule and, probably have had time to set up Democratic rule for the remainder of the lives of everyone reading this. It’s an age-old trick to get your opponent to underestimate you. It has worked every time from Napolean (little runt, couldn’t find Russia) to Perry Mason (didn’t you love the last five minutes of every episode when Perry would lower the boom on hapless always a loser district attorney who was so smug until Perry handed his head to him?). After 300 seasons (or whatever) you would have thought the D.A. would have granted Perry the intelligence to tie his shoes JUST ONCE – and won!. Nope, not even once. What a putz!

Boy, if Obama wins the REAL “flub of the week” club members going to have a field day (at least the Conservatie ones). 57 states? Err – corrected to 58 states a moment later. “My Muslim Faith” of today but only carried on the one hapless MSM TV network that couldn’t bleep out the fox pox and all one of the Consrvative networks. It will be a non-stop running list of bloopers of at least of the one percent who will be counting. GW will go back to Texas knowing” I sure fooled them for eight years!”. Think of George Forman. He NEVER would have won if his opponent had judged him properly. Who knows? You’re all so sure “Obama as president” is in the bag you may trip over your shoe laces coming out of the starting gate!

You people are idiots. Any type of political blog I manage to read has the same crap on it: anti-American comments. Grow up. So what if some people didn’t know that Georgia was also a state? Haha, funny for a second, now move on. I am absolutely positive that there was someone else is this giant world that thought the same thing and they weren’t *gasp* American!!

I have dual nationality in both the UK and the US and yes, I can point out both Birminghams on their respective maps for you. That makes me no better nor any worse than other people out there. The picture was a joke, make your funny, but don’t turn the comment section into hatred. It is your lack of class that puts you in a lower station than someone such as myself, not your lack of knowledge.

As yes, Bush is an idiot, I suspect he DID worry about Atlanta for a moment.

I think you are assuming most Americans know that Georgia is a state within the union. My experience is that the avg. American can’t tell you which country is North and which is South of the USA.

Really, so russia granted passports to all of those georgian’s in south ossetia (or ossetians whatever) and then saying we have to protect our citizens isn’t a bit of BS? Come on Russia has lost its mind, but then again we did invade a country within recent memory for no reason what-so ever.

Georgia has a right to combat seperatists with in its borders with out interferrence from russia, as to is this the right course, I would say it is not, as attacking people and then forcing them to stay apart of your country tends to make them blow shit up from time to time

As a non-American, I knew Georgia the country and not (or at least almot not :p ) the american state.

By the way, Pete, South Ossetia belong to Georgia. Or Hawaii maybe doesn’t belong to US?

Also, Russia did not “invade” Georgia. Instead, Georgia invaded South Ossetia, and Russian troops headed there to protect Russian citizens residing in S.O. (basically all of the population), also trying to forcefully stop the agressor, the retarded Georgian president.

The western mass media of course is trying to put it in such a way that Russia is the agressor, and basically the U.S. government in particular is openly wishing for a new Cold War. There is no more freedom of speech or media, unless you use the Internet and are smart enough to check different news sources.

Otherwise, enjoy your Fox News filled with anti-Russian propaganda and bullshit.

Even if I was speaking of “the world” …. I don’t know that that is even true . The US media industry is HUGE worldwide and formerly-Soviet Georgia has not exactly been prominent on the world stage up ’till now. So Joe Random International Guy might well think of the state of Georgia, depending on his taste in films or video.

Why “Americans”? I always see that and I’m sick and tired of THAT. Why not “people” that don’t know, eh? You think perhaps it’s not just these brain-dead cowboys that don’t know every country in both hemispheres? And that perhaps there are plenty that actually do and you’re just missing something in there?

After all, those French only know two places in the world aside from France: Germany and Not Germany.

It is a relatively interesting chess piece though. They have this gigantic pipeline running through southern Georgia, they have substantial mining resources, and they have(had) the promise of the American president that he would back them up. Georgia did see this coming…America didn’t. With as much support as we have been recieving from Georgia in Iraq, this is a horrible loss of face for the USA who claimed Georgia was an ally. So much for America’s international promises. Who will be America’s ally now?

I’m sick and tired of Americans not knowing that there’s a country called Georgia. Or most of the other countries, as well. I almost slept through my geography class 2 years ago, and the times I wasn’t sleeping, I felt my IQ going down a point a minute. Every single one of my classmates coudn’t tell you where Mongolia was to save their lives. What did we learn in that class? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, of course.

No not the same thing at all really, while it’s entirely possible for there to be a terrorist attack in either Birmingham (Or indeed any of the Birmingham’s) it is next to impossible to imagine any possible scenario where the headline ‘Russia invades Georgia’ would not be referring to the nation and not the state.

Maybe that’s because Georgia was part of Russia at the time – I’d never heard of them before they broke away from Russia after Russia stopped being Soviet (openly, that is).
