Can't answer trivia, break his heart and leave him in the gutter.

I'm from the US. I'm amazing a geography. I'm tired of people talking crap about my country.

It's been my experience Americans are good with numbers (except the economy), adding subtracting, weights and measures. One good thing about the drug trade I guess...

72- The drug trade is mostly in Mexico…

24 and 72- Thank you for stereotyping a nation of 300 million people, more than Germany, the UK, and France combined. I'm European and I know not to stereotype.

Though I agree with you about not stereotyping. I watched a film where a man asked people in the US to find Iraq and afghanistan... They couldn't

Your from Europe you've never dealt with the Americans that have never left their State they can be very ignorant and unreasonable

53 I didn't say everyone was bad at geography and i had no intention of insulting anyone. Also, I'm from the US too so its my country too.

160- Actually I currently live in the United States And 161- Well in the end I kind of agree there are quite a few Americans who aren't very knowledgeable of the world.

If we had more maps maybe we would be better...Thanks again Ms. South Carolina for the joke that never gets old.

People can say whatever the hell they want... The US school system does kind of suck. I went to school in Germany from 1st to 11th grade and then finished my 11th grade and 12th grade in a High School here in the US. my grades shot up like you wouldn't believe because school here is SO much easier. Also, a lot of schools DON'T emphasize geography. Not even necessarily American schools... It happens in Europe too. There's been surveys in a lot of different countries about how much the new generations (AKA the teenagers nowadays) know about their own country, neighboring countries, and countries from all over the world. The US' results kind of, well, sucked. But so did Germany's, despite the fact that our educational system is pretty damn good. The thing about surveys like that is the fact that most of the time, they're used to shame out generation for not knowing things, so they pick the social groups who are less likely to actually be able to answer the questions.

Seriously people, a lot of Americans are really smart, some aren't but the majority of Americans are. So what if someone didn't know where Paraguay was, hell it took me a few minutes to learn. A lot of countries would be lucky to have the ability to an education like many Americans do. We are actually getting smarter because of the resources we are given. I'm not the smartest person on Earth but I am intellectually competent. I've noticed a substantial increase in the IQ of my generation, they have the resources and they are using it. Not everyone but a lot of people. Now I ask everyone to stop hating on a country. It's a country not a person, you can't judge a country based on a few people.

you got that right! lol too self absorved i suppose.....

Education is decided and administered by the states. So making a comment about United States education system is like saying "the European education system."

It isn't always the education system that sucks. Sometimes the students just don't care.

Agreed

Thank you! Not everyone knows everything! Doesn't make him stupid. He may know a lot of other things that op doesn't.

#34. football isn't very popular in America so probably not... However, I can't stand football (think it's a close second behind cricket as the most boring sport to watch) and I know where Paraguay is on the map.

Football is extremely popular here. Soccer, not so much. (we call it soccer here)

34- I can understand why you said the World Cup, but the Euros? Paraguay isn't in Europe, so even if he did watch it, he still wouldn't know.

39- football aka soccer is the most popular sport in the world..with I reckon, cricket being 2nd. They are both great..actually..fantastic sports...not boring..maybe to you because you have a short attention span or you prefer baseball to cricket. It's your opinion but i just hate it when someone calls an exciting sport like soccer and a fascinating one like cricket, boring!

I don't watch baseball either, I'm Scottish not American. You want a proper sport, watch shinty/hurling. It's like hockey but more savage.

Dad's an ass for instigating the bet in the first place. Stupidity comes in more than one form....this time it was Dad and Daughter for being so stupid to think that everyone would know useless information. Boyfriend should dump the twit girlfriend for this.

It doesn't make the boyfriend a bad guy, but knowing simple geography isn't just "useless information." Especially since the bf accused them of making the country up. Seriously, he hasn't even HEARD of the place. The dad just proved a point to his daughter.
