I don’t Want to find it!

Maybe most Americans don’t have maps...

Why are we surprised by this?

[9YearLurker]

Somehow I suspect they are the same one in three Americans who can identify our three branches of government.

I don’t want to sound jaded, but that’s higher than I would have guessed - and yes, I know where Scotland is located.

The average person is not very smart. They have “walking around sense” and that is about it.

It is not too uncommon for people who are not too bright to at least have good instincts.

[Fungi]

I am surprised that many have ever looked at a map.

[Ray76]

Read it again

>> only 33% think most of their fellow countrymen can even locate Scotland on a map

Not "only 33% can even locate Scotland on a map"

[Navy Patriot]

Only 33% of Americans Can Find Scotland On a Map

So? Almost all can find Scotch on the bar.

This is ridiculous, it’s right between Delaware and
Rode’s Island...It’s where Haggis Chowder comes from.

[pallis]

Those are not the Americans who voted for Obama.

Scotland is app the size of South Carolina. How many Europeans, could find a given state, in a country the size of the US?

[sergeantdave]

Hell, 99% of the commie agitators in Ferguson couldn’t find their butts, using both hands. The black pamper racist Holder couldn’t find his schwantz if he called into a radar station for help.

I wouldn't have thought it was that high.

In defense of Americans, the Europeans who bring up our "geographic illiteracy" are just as dumb.

In fact, I was in Hong Kong with my brother talking to this giant annoying Scotsman. My brother made some comment about Edinburgh and St. Andrews golf course and the Scots guy says, "There's that American knowledge of geography." So my brother says, "Where's Ohio?" and the Scots guy says confidently, "On the west coast." My brother replies, "Yeah, the west coast of Pennsylvania."

Most of the world knows their neighborhood and little else.

[slouper]

So that means 67% can locate Scotland on a map. That sounds pretty good to me in this day and age of stupidity on many fronts.

I’m surprised it’s that high.

[mrsmel]

And yes, I could find Scotland on a map. That doesn’t make me a genius.

[UCANSEE2]

Everybody knows it’s in Scotland Yard.

; )

[slouper]

Oops 67% can’t, nevermind.

[Cyman]

I know where the Tilted Kilt restaurant is!
