While not all of us are smart enough to go to community college, more than "nobody" knows geography and has heard of those two countries.

What i meant was people know it more now than they did before. You know like, did they knew iraq was there as much as the whole world knows about the US.

Umm. . .pnosker, unfortunately, 50% or more of the population do fit Hugo's characterization. You are lucky to live where most people are possessed of more than average intelligence.

And while most of us (assuming we're 18+) have taken at least one geography class, based on my experience, a lot of kids barely learned anything while they were taking it and promptly forgot what they did learn afterwards.

Sad but true. I'm going to be a Junior @ Wentworth Inst of Technology this coming September. When I look back at my public education from K-12 and how I learned that kids from poorer cities nearby would register themselves with relatives from our city to go to our schools (which they were cracking down on) I could only imagine how bad their schools were. I think the schools I went to pretty much failed @ "No Child Left Behind". Whether or not they failed, they still got pushed through the system due to space constraints. So I do consider myself very lucky to have received a well rounded education and the drive to learn more.

Retard's mission should have been called "child stay behind" it made it worse than how it was.

I'm in the Army for 10 years now. Halfway done. I'll retire by the age of 37. I'm 27 now. I just found out from my mom that she will be moving to the area in one week. That means I don't have to sell the car! I was already getting separation anxiety just from the thought of having to sell the car.

I hate anxiety!

So your gonna retire in the army? Thats kool. I was planning to do the same but retire from the air force. Dont you get all kinds of crazy benifits from retiring?

[angel318ti]

Yes, you get a lot of benefits. to be honest with you, you have way too many plans for your future. You just need to pick one and stick with it.

thats the worst advice you can give to someone dude.

Its good to have different ideas. I mean there are people who dont have one clue to what they want to do. Its good to have different ideas so you dont just rely on one and you actually have choices. This is the land of "opportunities" so why should i just think of one and thats it? Being the land of "opportunities" i should take the "advantage" and think of many things until i decide to do one. And i know what im going to do already. I simply said that, that's what i wanted to do but not anymore.

OH, you are using the "process of elimination strategy". Not bad I guess. Good way to burn some time while figuring out what you DON'T want to do

Yup. I eliminated all the choices i thought about doing and already doing what im going to do. Not bad for 19. Some people are 30 and still cant figure out a bill.
