Just got finished listening to Stunt_man_Mike share his impressive knowledge of the country- oh, excuse me the CONTINENT of Africa:
Stunt_man_Mike (on mic): "The country of Africa is a shithole! Look at what happened since apartheid ended. Now they're hacking each other up with machetes! I don't understand the Sunnis and the Hutus hackin' each other up."
Um...Mike? Apartheid was in the COUNTRY of South Africa. The machete-hacking is currently going on in THE SUDAN, which is in a completely different part of the CONTINENT of Africa. Why, I ask you, do so many Americans wear their ignorance like a badge of honor? I'll bet you that Mike can tell you who won last week's Nascar race, can probably chug a can of Milwaukee's Best in 5 seconds, and only goes home with the toothless hag at the bar 2 or 3 times a week, but ask him to display even a 5th grader's knowledge of world geography, and you'll be met with glazed eyes and a slack, drool-dripping jaw.
