Dude, I'm from the south and even I knew it's not an island. Why would you think that?

even i know its not an island, and i live in australia

i thought rhode island was in Greece? also, what type of idiot calls something an island when it isnt? idiot.

YDI, I'm from Rhode Island and I'm used to being confused with Long Island, but never ever has anyone asked me how to get there. I could understand if you were inquiring about Block Island, which is a part of Rhode Island and yes you have to take a boat there, but since there's no colleges there, obviously that wouldn't work. FYI, Rhode Island was named after the Greek island of Rhodes. Guaranteed you are going to Brown or JWU, because that's the only reason why West Coast people who have never been here come here. To cook, be in business, or some science major. Without fail. What makes even funnier is when I get you idiots that move here to school, then cross over the border into the supermarket I work at in Massachusetts, and tell me you came "all the way from Providence", when it's less than a 15 min drive from those schools to Seekonk MA. What's your next question, "Where's your 24 hr Walmart?" because I hate to tell you, there are none nearby, unless you want to take quite a drive. LOL. And you want to know why people who live in other countries hate us, because of idiots like you that make us look dumb.

ya just a bunch of idi0ts if you paid attention in 5th grade you would of known dumbass

your from Cali, thus making you dumb

wow wut kinda douchebag doesn't know that rhode island is a frikin state. epic failure for you. completly your fault.

That is ****** SAD!!!!!!!

this is unfortunate, op. probably wise to do a little research next time on the state you're considering living in for the next 4 years, and on the history of the school you would like to earn your degree at. but hey, chill out, people that think all americans are ignorant. while i totally agree that many are, you also have to remember that sometimes our states are as big as your country, which means that remembering our geography is the same as remembering your geography times fifty. plus, we learn about other major world powers, but it's really quite reasonable that we don't learn about every small country. there's only so much you can fit into an education. this is not to say we -shouldn't- try to educate ourselves about other countries, their geographies, histories, and cultures, but simply that not knowing doesn't necessarily make us ignorant. there's a big difference between choosing not to know and simply not having learned yet.

This made me lol.
