Can you locate your own country on a map?

[madylove99]

omg how the heck did i get here!

[26yearstoorion]

Oh heck yea.. *takes sip of old milwaukee.. it's right dere onna dat big blue thingie between the green blotch and dat brown blotch..

[TheArrow23au]

which means you are east of china and russia , and west of iran and syria. LOL

[OwLoLz]

As if those Americans know where South or North is, haha

[RJKVV]

GAY VIDEO

[waylonSF]

But Russias bigger!!!!

[JuliusIsMe]

@waylonSF No shit.

[waylonSF]

@JuliusIsMe It was sarrrrr-casm...

[dalferr]

What?

[Juanferfranco7]

Good lessons for Americans! They need it so much!

[mnmfreak502]

ya i thot thu urth wuz flat 2. so umerica iznt thu onlee kuntry in thu world ?? totul mindblower !!!

[ibanezrg2550]

i thought the earth was flat

[GilvaSunner]

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over HERE in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

[waylonSF]

@GilvaSunner Here Here!

[eatmyshortsyouidiot]

@GilvaSunner  Baka ka !

[eithnejack]

@GilvaSunner still makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it...

[MrB3CK4]

im sure if someone cant locate america on the map they cant afford the internet there fore would not be watching youtube

thanx

[mfaizsyahmi]

>Implying everyone on youtube is americunt

[Janusha]

Yeah Im sure most americans can find america on a globe WITH NAMES ON IT.

[scattam]

18% of Americans are under the age of 9, 8% are under the age of 4. That statistic isn't very surprising.

[killer6468]

@scattam I knew where my country was on the map by age 4... It's one of the first things they teach in schools... Also, this statistic was only tested on adults, they didn't test the kids. So that means that 20 in 100 adult Americans (or more) cannot point out where they are on the map.

[CFL0LSmilyFace]

I live in the US..is that were it says Brazil?

[faraget]

you are a genius!!!!

you know sooo much!!!! lolololol

[pinchiponcho831]

i can locate any country in the world; its fun and useless knowledge that impresses some people i come across. instead i wish i was that interested in finding a radiator in a car, or the mentality to get to know a chick, or how to fight a ticket.

[DrunkenDriverStudios]

Course I can, my county's the largest :D

[LMA629]

First of all who was conducting this study. Second of all, a good portion of the population is made up of children. I could believe that a 4 year old couldnt locate it on a map. But a 30 year old?? Even if it is true, not all Americans are stupid. I can locate almost any country on a world map. I just have issues with African countries sometimes. But then again I'm a nerd who looked at globes for fun as a child :)

[PacoMxxN]

Hmmmm is it me or how is someone that can't spot the USA on a map going to know how to use a computer let alone youtube???

[GFedFan]

Technically, we're also north of Canada (Alaska) and south of Mexico (Hawaii).

[pinchiponcho831]

@GFedFan hahaha you got that right

[skaterboymaxime]

american people are so intelligent

[Artyom2012]

If they knew the borders of their state, they would have never got California :-)

[PacoMxxN]

@Artyom2012 indeed

[1hahahoho]

Omg, 0:32 !Hell yeah, I saw Colombia, woooot!!

[fluffymole0913]

My 5 year old brother can point out England (where we live) Scotland, Ireland, Wales, USA, Canada, Australia, France and Madagascar (his favourite film lol)

But i guess the only thing that ruins it was when he tried to convince me that we can get a boat to Antartica in 10 hours and go ice skating just like the Penguins do!

[Udany147]

So.. for Americans who can't locate America on a map, your advice is to locate two other countries first?

[whiteguysteve]

I love how some stupid teenager makes an outlandish claim with nothing to back it up and everyone buys it.

[nachou300]

I was hating this dude untill he said "chile" :D

[EndureTemptation]

You should found a university there and teach people.

[danielnunn]

PERU rules!!

[ARMYMAN10111]

THE ONLY THING AMERICA KNOWS IS WHERE THE OIL IS AT

[sweetasflip]

@ARMYMAN10111 fast foods

[krunkmike369]

Is that true? I was able to point out where I lived on a map since the 2nd or 3rd grade.. this can't be true..

[JnNGaming]

Fuck, americans are a lost cause. dont bother teaching them

[Adun4184]

its not a good idea to use mexico and canada as a reference because even more americans don't know where those countries are

[WolfEyesatNight]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Still even with the world globe... right there...

can u show me America the country please..?

there's NO such thing!

USA it's not America

...can't you read?

AMERICA IT'S A CONTINENT....yesssssssss.!!

[SalvableRuin]

@WolfEyesatNight America is a continent, but when people are discussing the USA, they say "American" instead of "The United States OF America." The same reason the English invented the word "soccer" so they wouldn't have to say "Association Football." We call Canada "Canada" even though it's officially "The Dominion of Canada." Giving something a common name doesn't make the name wrong.

[WolfEyesatNight]

@SalvableRuin

Great now you know.. thank god.. now call the USA .. United States, that wasn't that hard, I know its 2 words.. if you feel tired say USA, remember when you say America... you include a hole continent.

lol

[SalvableRuin]

@WolfEyesatNight What's with the ignorant attitude? When did I ever say it was hard to say "United States"? I called the US "US" "United States" "America" among other names. You are completely ignorant. Are you aware that the a single word can have more than one meaning depending on the context? "Mad" can mean "insane" or "angry." "America" can mean the continent of America and in common usage within said continent, can also mean the US. Is it really that hard to understand?

[WolfEyesatNight]

@SalvableRuin

America means America just as Europe means Europe.. please get a map, don't be confused any more.

If u ever visit any other American country say like Mexico, don't say "we are Americans", they would probably answer back.. Yes, you haven't left America yet.

good luck.

[SalvableRuin]

@WolfEyesatNight Seriously, what is wrong with you? You are trying to act all smart when you have no idea what you are talking about. Lay off already. No one is arguing that there is a country whose official name is AMERICA. I am not confused, you are. I live in North America. I am Canadian. We do not call ourselves "American." "American" in common usage in North America means "someone from the United States of America." It is not the same as "Europe" because there is no country called "USE."

[WolfEyesatNight]

@SalvableRuin

Relax, you and I know USA it's not America no matter what's the common use in or have been interpreted by ignorant European immigrants, can you probe it otherwise?

Fact, up till now all arguments I've heard are stupid and arrogant, mostly arrogant, since the USA dictates what Canadians think ...I guess there's no hope for you.

Naming a country same as a continent is greedy, illegal and disrespectful to other American nations.

and I'm very smart.

XD

[SalvableRuin]

@WolfEyesatNight You are very smart? Right. That's why you think it's "greedy, illegal and disrespectful" to refer to the United States as "America." How on Earth do you consider yourself intelligent when you can't understand the difference between the technical name for something and the common name for it? Tell me, do you refer to wolves as "lobo lobo" or to dolphins as "tursiops truncatus"?

And Americans don't dictate what Canadians think. The Canadian media does.

[0itzCanadian]

I actually couldn't stop laughing.

[jethrodassam]

@0itzCanadian There are a lot of countrys. Its not that easy.

[Ted7864]

uh if one fifth of Americans cannot locate their own country on a map then how would you expect them to find Canada or Mexico to remember where it is???

[huey31415]

Wow, you're so smart. What would the world have done without you?

[strokerwondering]

This kid is like really smart... I mean wow. I...................just speachless. Pointless vid man.

[MarkFFHH]

Go to "Geography Quiz Lizardpoint" to test your geogrpahy skill. I am a master. Challenge me.

[theedrake]

I realy don't know anyone that can't locate the US on a map.. And I don't live in the US.

Even more shocking. The US is in war with Iraq, but only like 1/7 americans can locate Iraq on a map..

[RomeoSOF2]

@theedrake 1/7? I actually think it's less. Iraq isn't that large of a country and only 4/5 americans can locate US on the map. THEIR OWN COUNTRY!

That's just pathetic :D

I can locate any country in Europe. Also, I know all the capitals of Europe. I'm gonna learn all the capitals of the world soon =p

[katecha666]

@RomeoSOF2

Do you know where is Latvia? :D And The Capital too :D

It`s your little Europe test :D

[RomeoSOF2]

@katecha666 Latvia is north of Lithuania. I live in Lithuania and I've been in Jurmala last week, lol.

The capital of Latvia is Riga =p

[BothtaweeKelly]

And I thought us Canadians....I'm not even going to say anything but 60 million?

[HoBBsIsScaRy]

omg i fucking never knew that 60 million idiots arent able to find the u.s.a WOW

[2wheels88]

To the bannana,immigrants are Americans cause they immigrated there .Therefore they makeup part of the population of America! you do not count illegals of course.Generally people from other countries have better schooling than most Americans with higher levels acheived higher scores per capita.

[piip4]

Could you slow down a bit? You missed me at one fifth and 300 mill something. And america looks really smallLOL! are you sure one fifth million people living on that round thing??

[fairyheli2]

england for the win!!! i could find england since i was 4

[XAttaHabibX]

god bless INTELLEGENT america

[abz3751678]

immigrants in america know exactly were they are.its just the lazy burger munching americans not all

[Sceno1]

That number you speak of holds no water, Ive never been asked where the US is, where was this poll taken? you see statistics arent shit, where did they come up with this bullshit? could they have coincidencially tested more dumb people than smart ones?

[MartinJWillett]

It's called sampling. How do you know your fries are too salty until you have eaten them all? Answer: you take a sample. Of course you can't be certain the sample is representative but you do all you can to pick as representative a sample as you can. That's how opinion polls work. They are not perfect but they are good enough for people to spend a fortune doing them rather than just saying "We don't know what people think, there's far too many to ask. Can I have another burger now?"

[banana638]

you know not everyone who lives in USA is american there are around 50 million imigrants living in the USA not all of them are gonna know were it is.

[razoredge435]

Im sure all fo the Immigrants know where AMerica is. YOu not gonna immigrate to sumwhere and have no idea where it is. Its mostly People and born in America have no idea where the fuck they live.

[culturacolombia]

@razoredge435 Same as your grandparents that came to kill in this land ! my grandma was born here so who is "more american" stupid ignorant !!!

[culturacolombia]

@razoredge435 I am really sorry I do not talk to lower species . go back to africa brother that is the only place they like you . HUNT HUNT HUNT

[tigranater]

lol they do know what it is. theyre not dumb.

[fola39]

Those are the ones that they know since they have to travel to get here, don't blame others for American Ignorance, we are ignorant indeed!!

[g9baracuta]

No they're the only ones that knew because they've been out of America. Thats a stupid comment banana man

[foncleaa]

he's right and it's not the education only to blame but the all cultural institution, TV, radio to blame..... nan actually it's the all country to blame.

[vichobreakthewall]

i can't believe what u r saying! Here in Peru even the poorest people know where Peru is! dude that is really concerning!

[MetallicPoison]

Blame the education in the States.

[Froggie2121]

Good educational vid...prob better than school in the US! Good job.

[LaughingMage]

I don't really believe that statistic, or that it was a true representation, but the ignorance of some americans is ridiculous.

[mugmugmug11]

"u.s. is right here!" (as he points to mexico)

dumbass.

[JohnsonGotOwned]

That never happened in the video.

[mugmugmug11]

:22

it did.

[Tyranidwarriorman1]

@JohnsonGotOwned it happened >.>

[GFedFan]

@mugmugmug11 I think he was tapping Texas...can't tell.

[banana638]

Every normal person in UK knows where all the main countries in the world are

[datdude42o]

every person in UK also sucks big fat dicks

[banana638]

and its still unbelieveable that thick american spacs like you are allowed to vote!

[datdude42o]

thats true im not the one who voted for dumb ass obama

[MetallicPoison]

Typical ignorance.

[Gunsnipe95]

Geography 101 for Republicans. Thanks for making this video. The southerners really needed it. But seriously... lol Americans are retarded. I'm ashamed to live in this country even if I'm in New York. Fuck it. I want to be in England or France or Germany or Belgium or any 'non-retarded' country. Hear that America? Fuck you.

[JohnsonGotOwned]

America is a great country. We are the country where immigrants can come to to find a new life. But the problem is, the corrupt governments and idiots have ruined it for the rest of us.

[LapRound]

@JohnsonGotOwned don't forget that it's not impossible for immigrants to live in other countries than USA :P I'm an immigrant myself, I live in Denmark... By saying that "USA is a country where immigrants live" shows that you're just another Amerifag.

[mattman624]

@LapRound He is saying that most of the population can trace itself back to immigrants, so basically if you aren't native american you can't say that you or your family aren't immigrants, the main population in most other parts of the world are the native populations.

[LapRound]

@mattman624 the idiot says that USA is a great country cause of the options the immigrants have. and im jut saying that those options are also available in other countries than USA. so if that makes USA great, then every country is great lol :P

[LondonDisperses]

@LapRound Don't call someone an idiot like that. The US is known for being a country made of immigrants, and that's big part of its legacy. Why do foreigners to the US always talk negatively about it? People need to chill out and stop being insecure or bitchy or annoying. Stay in your country and keep your mouth shut; not like we talk down about Denmark. If anybody knew anything about Denmark to begin with.

[lmoreeen]

@LondonDisperses haha you epitomise the classic ignorant american beautiffully.

[TheRimDoctor]

@JohnsonGotOwned

Come to Canada. We don't have corrupted gvernments... Well we do, but Canadian Parliament is more of a comedy show.

[PacoMxxN]

@TheRimDoctor lol

[shellback1970]

then leave asshole..Bu8t hey I read your channel..Yankee fan huh...says it all .....dont leave please hang yourself instead....

[Gunsnipe95]

Thank you. You're a perfect example. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you retard #1.

[shellback1970]

retard#1 why didn't you put a pic of yourself up?...you say you hate America and your a yankees fan...two things that totally make you a shitbag....oh by the way CC got owned yesterday by Baltimore....hahahaha money well spent...And Mark Texiera? 0for4? more money well spent....

[Gunsnipe95]

Ha hey! That's not funny! Anyway, rooting for a team doesn't make you a shitbag... that's just retarded so thank you for giving me more points. That was #1. Point #2: you cannot judge a team or player on OPENING DAY. I mean a 3rd grader would know this. Every pitcher no matter how good you are has a bad day. Every hitter has a bad day. Everyone has gone 0for4 or 0for5 or whatever. That doesn't make you bad, retard.

[banana638]

lol well said americans are purley RETARDED

[Gunsnipe95]

Yes we are... yes we are...

[Alexanderstuve]

@Gunsnipe95 you can make it less retarded by not warmongering and having all fukkin muslims evaquate their bloody country and live with us in criminality! which will make europe flourishing as it once was...

[SalvableRuin]

@Gunsnipe95 Switzerland is a good choice.

[taagy]

@Gunsnipe95 The Islamic republic of Belgium France and England

[Quinnfan10]

I can make up statistics too guys.

I can understand a 12 year old (like the guy in the video), but anyone with common sense can see that this is bullshit.

99.9% of America can locate it on the map.

[JohnsonGotOwned]

First of all, when I made this video I was thirteen. Duh.

Second of all, I didn't say I believed the statistic myself, but recent studies have shown that 1/5 of America can't locate their country on a map. My personal guess is that it's rednecks and hillbillies and hobos, though.

I only made it for extra credit. :S

[Quinnfan10]

Ok that is fine, but I doubt their is a proper study that says that. I can believe that if they go to the ghettoes and only interview them.

I would do the same thing with Canada if it was for extra credit though. Haha

[JohnsonGotOwned]

Frankly, I think the only teacher my logic used that this study was accurate was the Miss South Carolina incident where she was unable to answer the question. Honestly, I don't agree, but hell, extra credit, why not.

[rismanpsykat]

stupid americans

[telugodu123]

Amricans dont know abt their own country and make stereotypes abt other countries lol.

[vefco22]

next we need americans thinking France is in Australia

[obito55]

i can locate almost every country in the map and its a sham so many americans are ignorant

[drumz420]

americans are pretty damn stupid...if u don't believe me search for the video, "Americans on Canada"...it's pretty much self-explanatory!

[obito55]

there is alot of americans who are ignorant but not all and there is alot who are smart cause if u think the country as a whole is stupid then that proves ur also ignorant cause u cant know the whole country

[silentsoliloquy82]

I don't judge people on their nationality and your views are ignorant and to some would lack sufficient intelligence. I am American and sometimes my geography knowledge exceeds those overseas. Sometimes other Americans are better than me at it, or some Europeans are better than me, to. Do make the assumption that because a person is a certain nationality they don't know who Stephen Harper is, the thirteen provinces, etc. I had to tell an Englishman who Steven Harper was..

[silentsoliloquy82]

*Don't even

The englishman asked me, "Why would I need to know that?" >.> You share the same continent yet.......well you are appearing to be what you are accusing Americans of being. If your assumption is true for all the United States, then every stereotype of your country is true for all, too. ^_~ Tit for tat...

[lxSianixl]

wow the educational system has FAILED you americans. i can tell you soooo many countries in the world and tons of capital cities.

i cant believe someone has had to post this because people dont even know where their country is...

[obito55]

our education system is very very corrupt mah friend i asked people so many question her in the U.S and believe me you dont know how stupid most of the population is but just rememba there are smart and dumb people everyhere

[AIRHEAD741]

hay try to locant burma

[kapget]

lol... and now locate slowenia on a map... it would take houres!! -.-

[smza0601]

How the hell is it people don't know where the U.S. is when shown a map? This is just rediculous.

Honestly, I have some stupid friends but I know for a fact they know where the U.S. is located. If they can do it, the people that aren't able to do so must be on the lower tiers of the intelligence ladder. Maybe have an IQ of 4 or 5.

PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!

[Rogueshadow81492]

Thats complete bullshit

your school probally has a realy low budget so that would explain why this is so retarded.

[JohnsonGotOwned]

Um, my school doesn't have a low budget. There are rural parts of the country where people wouldn't be able to locate their country on a map.

[YoWestSide]

Even my 4 year old littlesister can point where our country (not US) is located, lol

[asea80]

do you feel smarter putting this video up or something

if you should like actually asking someone and them getting wrong maybe it would of been a good video

but this is dumb.

[JohnsonGotOwned]

Do you feel smarter posting that comment?

[ProfPudding]

Oh someone's defensive! and that was a dumb ass video, 1 star for you bud.

[JohnsonGotOwned]

Oh someone's a dick, a crappy life ahead for you bud.

[separatemindz]

but is it really true that americans cant show their own country on the map? eh, impossible!

[JohnsonGotOwned]

One fifth.

[separatemindz]

... and do you know such person???

[JohnsonGotOwned]

Do people under three count?

But seriously, I think the poll was referring to places where people are just... dumb.

[Charlieeilrahc888]

you would think so

[KpEMuKoBcu]

"one in five Americans cannot find their country on a map"

ROFL

[dagodfada22]

where did u get this information. i don't see any cited sources. For all anyone knows this information could be false. Even if you can list a citation, is information credible.

[JohnsonGotOwned]

Actually, you will probably NEVER find a YouTube video with citations. Even so, the only fact is that one in five Americans cannot find their country on a map (which was supplied by my teacher [this video was made as extra credit for a class]). The rest was just basic math, and pointing things out.

[ridgetownpimp]

I dont know about in the states but hear in Canada we learn that stuff in jk "is infomation credible" dombass!!

[jimmycann]

Yeah, you sound like you really took advantage of YOUR Canadian education! Freely interchanging homonyms such as hear and here. Until you learn how to read and write, I'd lay off commenting on other's level of education. You sound like a bigger fool than our geography genius' did initially..."Dombass!".

[jimmycann]

Gee! Do you think this statistic may have something to do with the fact that MOST AMERICANS arent even from AMERICA!? Let alone educated here?

[hijabiflower]

do you want to be a teacher for young children?? lol this video is cute

[HunSavage]

60 mil. Oh my

[blu34ngel]

aww thats very nice of you to prepare such an informative video !!

but there is one thing you forgot....

most americans don't have maps out there!!

ahahhahahahahhaha

we love miss teen south carolina!!!!

[EUsuperstate]

americans are dumb

[mathewheffley12]

ha you pointed at mexico youre one of them

[JESmed81]

i dont know north and south so u lost me

[Apachecatdog]

Thankyou, very informative.

[Gotioz]

canada pwns US

[ashantilongislant]

Why are you giving them knowledge??

Let them indulge in their ignorance.

[ridace]

THIS IS A GLOBE! everybody can locate the U.S. on a globe ;]

[sonny418]

well did y know if you are like so samrt you get kill when you turn 25 years old

[sonny418]

[Norg1]

HELLZZZ NO thats nebraska NIGGA there not considerd apart of america MUHAHAHAHAH !!!

[Whoreuk]

It's true, yanks are the thickest nation on earth. They nothing about the world. Check out Ignorant Americans on youtube.

[Keitel87]

Most Americans know nothing about global politics.

[TheCrunchLife]

Is the 20% of adults.

Senile people and babies may have made for most of the 20%

[nissehannespersson]

and people like you....

[TheCrunchLife]

I'm not from the US.
