ive been around since 2009ish and i have no recollection of this

She let Goku do all his training and fighting and look at what it cost he chose training multiple times over spending time with his son. So, she also did not want him to be the type to ditch his family just for the sake of getting stronger.

I am from Latvia.
Back in highschool we had geography and the study program was made to cover each continent in its extent through several lessons at a time.
So although im heavily generalizing i'd say most of the students could show you where wyoming is.

I have a pretty good knowledge of american geography. I do remember we had to do the US one time for geography but most of it just comes from general knowledge.

I mean, I had about the americas in middle school, not specifically USA. I can only point to the big states, like Cali, Washington, New York and Florida.

I understand why americans don't know where fucking Polan is.

but many of those countries are, alone, insignificant, but are a part of a bigger whole. such as unions or, in simpler senses, continents, like the states of the usa.

I suppose i can see where you are coming from

All you gotta do is play crusader kings 2 and you will know

I'm pretty sure it's CK 2.

Welp, didn't see someone else had already replied.

its ck2.

you mean with all the borders and shit included?

I'm British and I can point out Florida, California, New York, Alaska, Hawai'i and Texas on a map. No clue about any of the other states.

I wasn't bragging - I was pointing out that I only know a small handful of states.

I'm American and I know where most of the countries in europe are, though to be fair I do fall apart when we get to the south east of them and most of the former soviet block, except for ukraine

granted it does help me when I can see the lines for political maps, I am not good when it comes to topographical or terrain maps

Also it is fine you don't know all the states, I live there and I still mix up the heart land

Because North America consists of 3 nations.

We know their borders fine

There are 23 countries in North America, and 22 dependencies.

But can you point out where the U.S. capital is? Or where Nevada is?

Or where Toronto is?

Or where Canada stops and Alaska begins?

NA may only consist of 3 countries, but they're 3 countries that are bigger than most EU countries.

I also don't expect british people to know the locations of the different counties in France and Spain.

I can point out the capital, Nevada and the border between alaska and canada

When our states are as big as your countries it's a different matter than counties in those states.

Especially when, just like your countries, these states have different laws, so you should know the borders.

Size doesn't equal much.

No, we learn by country and Capitol of other countries here,
So it doens't matter how big you are or if you're a super-fluper-superpower: Land and Capitol, although we did have to learn the USA at some point, but it was just the states and a few big cities.
That may seem easy but we have to learn this for almost all continents and countries,
and it can get quite hard when you're 13 and have to learn all lands in Africa and some of their capitols.
But we don't learn a lot more about European countries besides a few more large cities and everything in your own country.
It's a lot easier to learn states that you probably live in and which you hear a lot about because they are in your own country and travel to them than having to learn names and capitols of countries you never heard of or only once or twice.

Really your countries and our states are the same thing (sort of)

I can't tell you the capitol of Arkansas even though I live 3 states from it.

Most of France probably can't tell me the capitol of Belarus or Bulgaria.

And we have a class dedicated to learning capitols and countries and all as well, but most people take it in middle school, so by time you can use it you don't remember it all.

In the end, every country has a lot of stupid people,
the only problem is that those of the USA get a lot more media attention.

It's also a lot easier for them to get media attention. Not only are there tons more people here, but everyone speaks english on the media. I know a lot of countries teach english in school over there. It's easier for other people to say shit about what comes from us when everyone can understand it. Harder when only swedes can understand their shit etc.

Well, the most newsworthy shit happens in America, if something happens in Sweden it's simply subbed, so that doesn't make sense in my book

eh, maybe. Still, 330 million people have a higher chance to show their stupid than 10 million.

Europe has more than 500 million people, I don't get your point

I was using Sweden as the example. They have ~10 million pop.

Sweden is a few times the size of the Netherlands, which has 17 million people,
size doesn't mean anything, but I get your point, we have less individual stupidness because each of us has not more than 100 million.

No. Then again, Florida, Ohio and so on are just parts of the US, while European countries are sovereign nations on their own. You couldnt tell me where Saxony lies within Germany, or where Wales is located in the UK. From a geographic perspective however it makes no real sense, since most states are bigger than an European country on average

But by population, California (with nearly 40 million people) is bigger than most European countries. We have 11 states with more than 10 million people in them (four of which are over 20 million), which makes them fairly sizable.

That makes them more geopolitically relevant than a number of European countries.

Yeah, but we have to learn all the american states and their capitals etc...

Which is a flaw in the education. Overall, those states aren't very important. We're not going to have to wait through tense negotiations between Arizona and Utah, while fearing that Nevada might come in to try and take advantage of the situations.
European countries, however, are far more important- they are sovereign nations and have differing laws, governments, etc etc.

Says the euro fag where it is nearly impossible to own guns and amo without being apart of the military. If the citizens of the USA felt like it, they could wage scorched earth warfare against each other. What the fuck can your citizens do? Oh right, they simulate gun fire and get arrested by the police.

Considering how pathetic your armed forces AND citizenry are in comparison to ours, you like to boast much.

I live in Arizona.

I don't suggest you let sensationalist media cloud your judgement.

As Sun Tzu said: "Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance."

>>#23

Yeah, because Americans are always glued to their TV's, terrified of whether Norway and Finland can decide who owns one square mile before World War 3 breaks out. Belgian politics definitely impact us less than Californian politics, because California's part of our country and has 40 million citizens.

Yeah, I noticed my fuck up about 5 secs after but you can no longer edit comments
