You know there's a number of countries I probably couldn't identify on a map, but Ukraine?  It's the largest country located entirely within Europe!  If you show people a blank map of the US states there's a lot of places someone might have trouble with, but I'm pretty sure everyone can ID Texas.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I'm a little embarrassed by the fact that while I am pretty good at Geography, I learned most of playing computer games.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Europa Universalis played a big role in teaching me where Punjab, Goa, and Assam were -_-

The last two posts are kind of sad, but I think more a poor reflection on the education systems in Missouri and Texas than on Raz and Valmy.  I mean, heck, I went to school in West Virginia and I learned that stuff in grade school.

It is true. I was never even taught where Hyderabad was in our backwards educational system :weep:

No but I did learn that Cobra was bad. Sometimes we could bring GI Joe toys on Fridays.

There's nothing wrong with continuing to learn outside of school.

And there is nothing useful in memorizing factoids in school.

Yeah, I live in a famously corrupt and inept city in a famously corrupt and inept state, so adding a famously corrupt and inept federal government on top is kinda lagniappe at this point.
