, thats true, seen a reportage about knowledge of average American;
they have put a big sign EUROPE on Australia on a Map and asked few Americans about where is Europe?
9 out of 10 have pointed to Australia
Then they put Great Britain on New Zealand, that has made a few Amers worried, "our allay is sooo small"
Only thing they know is what that stupid president says on TV, in my country what politician say is almost always a lie, we don't trust them, we rather think for ourself regardless of press, TV ... , I suppose thinking is
for Americans.
Just one remark, not all Americans are like that, and here in Croatia we have people that are that way to, just not so many!
