Maybe Jessica was trying to tell us that she was INCONTINENT.

I attended many public schools, as well as several that were Department of Defense schools: schools for kids who have parents in the military, essentially. The public schools I attended, even the ones that received awards, were not that great. The DoDDs schools, however, were amazing. I had friends who were homeschooled, though, as well as friends who went to Montessori schools, and it seemed like they had great educational experiences, regardless if they were religion-based or not.
The idiots at the school I attended in TX thought I was Japanese, simply because I lived in Japan. When I told them I was, in fact, Czech, a kid replied, “That makes sense. I knew you weren’t white.”
I definitely am. Le sigh….

according to the UN Russia is considered Europe because both Russia’s main Capital (Moscow) and its other major city (St. Petersburg) are in Europe which geographically speaking is separated from Asia by the Ural Mountains, The Caucasus Mountains and The Caspian Sea

@7: I wish this was true. The scary thing is that there ARE in fact people out there who are even MORE brain-dead than Jessica… I shudder at the thought, but just turn on the tv and you see it or take a squiz through lamebook. scary stuff… very scary… i did shudder at that one though. Geography is definitely not my strong point and STILL that made me cringe…

Jessica would probably also be one of those people of many who think Vermont is a town in a state or a country.

oh and FTR, Alaska and Russia are 53 miles apart. that’s not exactly “touching” even though I’m sure if I squint hard enough, I can see russia from my front porch

Stedfunk, I feel obligated to inform you of this wonderful thing called the Aleutian islands, which are part of Alaska and extend further west than Hawaii.

Alaska is the northern most, western most, and eastern most state, since it extends into the ‘eastern hemisphere.

@#90 Fail, Hawaii is the most western state.

Okay the homeschooling vs. not is kind of annoying now. I’m an American. I went to public school (granted it was in Virginia which has better education than some other states), but I know the difference between a country and a continent. I’ve also known for years that Alaska is connected to Canada and that it’s the most northern and most western state in the US. Also, @59 I know where Finland is, but maybe because my grandmother is Swedish. It’s sad that there are still Americans that think you would need a passport to go to Alaska. If you’re driving, of course, if you’re flying, no. There are also people who think Hawaii is not part of the United States. Maybe it was my family, my schooling, my interest in the world, and my friends but I try to be more aware than some of the people who make ridiculous posts like these.

Just to share, I was walking out of work one day and a group of about 5 women in their mid to late thirties were walking behind me. I heard one woman say, “I never wanted to go to Africa. I thought it was all safari, but I heard them talking about some place call Johannesburg and it sounded nice.” Then one of the other women said, “Yeah, but I heard that Cape Town is kind of dangerous.” Then, another woman said, “Oh yeah, and that Darfur place. Wouldn’t want to go there.”

Come on people.

@bananarama “To lump us all in together with each other is like saying Venezuela has exactly the same economic structure, education system, and health care ideology as Texas.”

It would be if Venezuela and Texas were in the same continent, yes.

OHAI.

Some really interesting facts about Africa, while we’re at it…

AFRICA is a continent, believe it or not. We have (at the last count) 52 COUNTRIES in Mother Africa, some of which are shining examples of democracy with carbon-neutral airports, others with exceedingly violent and f**ked up regimes. To lump us all in together with each other is like saying Venezuela has exactly the same economic structure, education system, and health care ideology as Texas. Incorrect, no?

More interesting facts:
National Health Care doesn’t always work! Here in South Africa a nationalised ANYTHING doesn’t work because there are such discrepancies in the socio-economic force.

Africa is lumped together and called a COUNTRY more times than you’d like to imagine and not only by Americans (North or South). The Brits do it too, as to Germans, Chinese (although not to such an extent as they actually have dealings with separate countries as a political regime), the French and some Australians. Personal experience through content analysis of various news networks. Then again, news is not reality so what do I know! Yes, personal bugbear! Could you tell?

@nanshntth, I’m fairly positive that only applies to ice ages. And, even then, it was a land bridge.

@AlaskanGirl, pretty impressive stuff. Until you consider the fact there are only about 700,000 people that live in Alaska. It doesn’t matter how huge your state is – if most of it is not easily inhabited, it doesn’t count.

@Kwanz4 The person who took this photo is a mac-user, not Jessica. So, your theory has blatantly failed, my friend.

So, Kwanz4, you are saying that clever people choose to use interfaces that are complicated, less user-friendly and ugly? I see…

By: Kwanz4

Kwanz4 — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 05:39:54 +0000

Haha, you can tell that she has a Mac by the text rendering. People with Macs tend to be stupider as they are, most of the time, visually oriented and can’t figure out an interface for their life.
