- SG- 14y agoThe same people likely couldn't point out a lot of other 'big' countries/continents or even US states, so I don't see what that argument proves.
- readme 14y agoMy point is that TV news caters to the lowest common denominator of brains so they aren't going to tell everyone about a country they can't locate on a map. That is of course, unless, there are "terrorists" there, or Israel is involved.
- grey-area 14y agoThat would say something about the state of American education rather than the state of Iceland, if so.
