@@tilted4fun805 Well, of course, Beyoncé has multiple properties. I'm pretty sure one of them was in L.A. at the time I had written the comment, though I'm not completely sure.

i don't know ANYONE who smokes weed here (not saying no one does, obviously, just that none of my friends/acquaintances do, and I know a lot of people. but it could be that we're all adults and doing drugs is kind of an immature college life/hippie/bum type of thing to do). so i found that part super strange, lol. i know some cities that are known to be full of weirdos and people who smoke pot, Santa Cruz for example, but most places aren't really like that? i would think we'd be better known for beaches and surfers or something. *and hollywood. not sure how i forgot that one, LOL
Yeah, but you can concievably recognize and differentiate the Dakotas because they aren't perfect squares. South Dakota even has a dibit in the south eastern corner. Wyoming and Colorado are perfect squares. the only difference is the size and ratio of the sides. Nearly impossible to determine without the other, and even then it's a 50% chance you'll get it right.
I used to tell people, "Yeah, I come from Washington." And even people in the US would be like, "Oh! So you get to see the White House?" And I'm always like, "Goddamnit. I'm from Seattle." LOL
+kimkishineegirl Same thing happens when I tell people I live near the New York border. They think I live near NYC but I actually live in North Central Pennsylvania lol
+Cullen Smith Oooooh. That's what that meant. Though I don't know why this comment helped me understand what kind of green card they were referencing. For reason reason I was thinking it was some sort of weird soccer reference. Like there's a card in soccer for penalization but also one someone gets as a reward. Why would they want a green card? They'd have to live around dumb americans like myself who don't get obvious references and also call football soccer and also think soccer has reward cards. Perhaps soccer should have reward cards though, redeemable for awesome free things.
+Chadderandom lol. I was on the same page with you also. Totally was thinking soccer when he said green cards. I am going to attribute it to higher intelligence levels due to the fact that I was looking at the video from an outsiders perspective rather than my own so I could perceive more things. Yeah, that is what I will rationalize it as.
Lots of my fellow Americans here saying they couldn’t identify the states either... speak for yourself. We all learned them in school. Take an online quiz and re-familiarize yourself.
I tell people I live in California and they're like oh LA!? And I'm like dude I live in the north coast covered in redwoods where it rains all winter and is in the 60s all summer...
emma fluffy maybe but I highly doubt it because not alot of people know that (including myself). My logic was that because Florida Is Called the sunshine state and cali is called something else I can't remember at the moment. So I think they just mixed up the nicknames for the 2 states. Rather than your logic. But yours is very good I just don't think Irish people who don't even live in the US would know that 😂
And Kansas City is the capital🤣🤣 although I can see how they'd make that mistake. He'll, Americans think KC is only in Kansas instead of the largest portion being in MO
As someone who was born and lives in NJ, I can say that everyone from NJ can do the NJ accent but we only do it when we get witty about people saying people from NJ speak with the NJ accent.
They are better with US states than Americans from buzzfeed were with identifying countries on British isles. And that says something, cause US has 50 states, and British isles have 5 countries (4 part of UK). I am good with both though, and I am from Russia lol
+The Creator Just to let you know, if you're ever in Ireland, and call it a "British Isle" you will offend almost everyone in the bar. Most Irish people hate the term "British Isles" I would know as I am Irish.
+Peter Wolff thats true, she was right too to see the border between Louisiana and Mississippi for the Mississippi River. Here in Louisiana we are eastern border is the Mississippi river and the western border is the Sabine River.
Texas: Where we ride horses to school on a constant basis and bbq meat the size of our cowboy hats. We also strictly use trucks and wear flannel shirts.
Damion was being sarcastic on purpose. Because so many people seem to commonly think that. Even though TX, although definitely having lots of rural space (it's huge what do you expect), also has 4 of the 10 largest cities in America.
+Zachary Matthew James Is it like part of St Louis is in Illinois because it got so big? Or is Kansas City Kansas far away from Kansas City MO? I know it's the Missouri one with all the sports teams.
@@Physicalchemistry15151 I guess any small European country has done much more for high culture and good taste than all the United States. And this is not irrelevant.
you wish. Most Americans do know their stuff. These people only had to name the popular states. I want to see them naming all of it(or at least the mid-west). That's the real challenge. '
US states where I often mix up their locations: New Hampshire and Massachusetts Delaware and Maryland Montana and Minnesota Wisconsin and Michigan Iowa and Indiana
Maggou Funnily enough, I actually know all of those, thanks to having dated a lot of Germans. But I only know German states - if you asked what the areas are in, for example, France, Poland, etc. I'd be clueless.
I am happy someone acknowledges that. Recently I've watched one of these "americans label the european map" videos and I was slightly triggered, but I know I can not label all US states (at least I know the capital and the coastal states, but bro not all oft em
I'm surprised they knew so much. TBH I don't know any of the provinces of France or Germany. If Germany has provinces. I know like Alsace- Lorraine and that's it.
I love the fact that you have to ask people from Ireland for the STATES of one country and they are still doing better than an average US American while naming COUNTRIES.
Belgian here, my goal is to see if I can just name 25 states.(I only probably know with 100% certainty where like, 10 or so of them are but I know most "more or less") Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Cali, Washington, New York, Alabama, Arizona, Utah(hello Mormons), N and S Dakota and Carolina, Hawaii and Alaska,(15) Washington, Nevada, Maine, New Mexico, (19). I know I should know some in the South at least, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, Wisconsin and Illinois, (24).... Ow, Colorado(thanks George Carlin), (25) :p
California New Jersey New York Idaho Washington Alaska Hawaii Oregon Louisiana Texas Maine Maryland Delaware Florida North Carolina South Carolina Alabama Arkansas Georgia Mississippi Kansas Nebraska Iowa Indiana Missouri Minnesota Ohio Illinois Pennsylvania Rhode Island New Mexico Arizona Utah Colorado Nevada Virginia West Virginia North Dakota South Dakota Oklahoma Kentucky Tennessee Michigan Wisconsin Wyoming Montana I could only think of 46 states fuck
One of my classmates where on an exchange year in the US and the classmates asked her questions about her homecountry. They've asked: Do you use cars? My friend and I are from Germany. WE ARE THE ONES PRODUCING UR CARS. I was slightly triggered xD
Lynn Gedankenwelt Forgive me for their ignorance, but not all Americans are like that. Living in a country over 300 million, it isn't shocking why some of us are that dumb.
@@lynngedankenwelt9947 Where the hell were they in the US and how old were the people who asked? Jesus, no one ever in my life has said something as stupid as asking if Germans have cars lol.
I'm going to be honest: I grew up on the West Coast, and I graduated high school in 1996. I'd probably have a hard time with the Northeastern states aside from Maine and New York, because the only cause I've had to pay attention to the rest in the last twenty years is if some horrible weather event happens.
+Adrienne Gurge I used to know them all, but from my perspective most of them are so small I had to memorize them by shape. (lol, since I posted this comment I actually went back and re-memorized them, because I was so embarrassed I'd forgotten.) I had to think about it for a bit, but I'm pretty sure I've only looked at a map of the U.S. that actually had everything labeled maybe once or twice since I graduated high school. I've never traveled further east than Wyoming, so I really didn't have any reason, except for weather events like Hurricane Sandy. (Same reason I couldn't do algebra even if you held a gun to my head; the 'if you don't use it, you lose it' saying is, at least in my case, very true.)
@@encycl07pedia- Pedantic. While I can't say if this is universally true at a national level, where I live in America, people generally don't say they graduated "from" high school, unless they're talking about the specific high school they attended. Colloquialism are a thing.
Meggie Of hearts haha I’m from Nj but moved to Georgia a couple of years ago and people always do the accent when I say I’m from there... they are so shocked when I tell them that in the whole time I spent living in New Jersey that no one had that accent. No one wants to believe it’s not a thing.
JJ Chavez it's different for someone from the states because we usually just look at the whole thing and not all of the individual states when we think of the US. Knowing one state from another isn't really that important, unlike in other places like Europe where borders mark where one country ends and another begins. Plus, they most likely chose the easiest states they could think of. Seriously, who doesn't know where California is? This video was entirely unfair.
I suck with the East Coast states. I am an American, but if you asked me to point out the East Coast states like Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island etc I'd probably be wrong. Everything else I can do easily, those states are just so small and so close to each other lol
Maryland is easy-diving line between Confederacy and Union, really. Those tiny New England states, and those empty nothings in the midwest? Good luck. I'm amazed that one girl could peg Kansas really
I love how everyone thinks the capital of Kansas is Kansas City (kinda how even most people, even Americans, think New York City is the capital of New York). By all accounts, it should be, since Topeka is pretty much just a big farm town. But Kansas City, Kansas is actually not all that big. When people think Kansas City, they usually think of KC, Missouri, which is where most of the population live.
Yeah, that's right. They are basically one big city that spills across the state border. But KC, MO has grown a lot more and is now the bigger "city," even though that distinction doesn't really matter.
KCK is where you drive through quickly, KCMO is a sprawling city that you have to define which part you mean. North of the river you're good, Westport or Plaza again good to go, Troost.....abort!
Hollizi Well...you guys see a lot more American films than I do Irish ones and I'm guessing, every once in a while they show a map...I don't know why you know our geography.
+Mike oone we dont know your geography haha, these people were just really good. Most Irish people know 2 states, California and New York and maybe one or two more but thats it lol
Y'all did a lot better than I could have done naming places in Ireland. And here's the kicker, my sister lives in Kansas, and I have no idea where it is, it if she actually loves in Nebraska, that I have no idea where it is either. I've lived here in the states all my life.
No, the states they got are easy to label for everyone. They should give them some states like Wyoming, Idaho, Arkansas, etc. Then they'll fail surely.
Amber Main I didn't say all Americans, and if I didn't live in a city in California where the average income tops $100,000 or studying pre-med I'd maybe agree with you. I'm proud to be born and raised American but I know for a fact that an increasingly large part of this country isn't exactly the brightest.
Mr. White 😂 ok ok.. Number one, I'm not a liberal. Number two, using the word "libtard" automatically discredits anything you just stated (it shows your narrowmindedness). Lastly, number three, I was humiliated that they knew more than our own citizens. You can find the videos all over TH-cam.
Props to most of them knowing the difference between Washington State and Washington D.C.
Very true, quite impressive! Was hoping for a Twin Peaks shoutout when Washington state came up but instead we got a Twilight reference from one of the contestants. Ah well. ;D
yeah,,because unlike Americans they are not ignorant fucktards

+Peter Wolff thats true, she was right too to see the border between Louisiana and Mississippi for the Mississippi River. Here in Louisiana we are eastern border is the Mississippi river and the western border is the Sabine River.
r.e. California: "The Sunshine State". No that's Florida lol.
California is the Golden State.
+APEX CRONUS Yep, I live in the Golden State (although it is pretty sunny too).
+APEX CRONUS California Love says otherwise

Texas: Where we ride horses to school on a constant basis and bbq meat the size of our cowboy hats. We also strictly use trucks and wear flannel shirts.
Damien Goldbrooke That's strangely similar to rural Ireland, but with flat caps over cowboy hats
Texan here...
:::hides Scion xB and t-shirts:::
But yes, BBQ is good. ;D
Damien Goldbrooke. No, I drive a car and I have a general American accent. I also wear nice clothes
I hope they never watch the Dukes of Hazzard.
Damion was being sarcastic on purpose. Because so many people seem to commonly think that. Even though TX, although definitely having lots of rural space (it's huge what do you expect), also has 4 of the 10 largest cities in America.
Was anyone else waiting for them to mention your state??
And they didn't lol
they mentioned my state first...
they didn't, they didn't go far into New England
me kansas
Fluffy Bunny I didn't really get my hopes up because nobody cares about Arizona
3:00 Think we should tell that guy Kansas City is actually in Missouri? XD
+Zachary Matthew James There's a Kansas City in Kansas, too.
kierra nicole Yeah, but nobody goes there.
ker
+Zachary Matthew James Is it like part of St Louis is in Illinois because it got so big? Or is Kansas City Kansas far away from Kansas City MO? I know it's the Missouri one with all the sports teams.
Cy Scar No, it's the St. Louis thing. Kansas City started in Missouri and expanded into Kansas.
New York: exists
Irish girl: “That’s like the capital of America”
Americans:Dead💀😂😂😂😂
What is the capital of croatia? Without Google obviously
Giorno Giovanna || I’m being 100% I don’t even know what Croatia is....
Jaden Luce it’s a country in Europe lol, on the Adriatic Sea across from Italy and bordering Hungary. Also the capital is Zagreb
Giorno Giovanna lemme guess. Is the capital called...Irrelevant?
@@Physicalchemistry15151 I guess any small European country has done much more for high culture and good taste than all the United States. And this is not irrelevant.
I cringed for New Mexico, being mistaken for Missippi
you wish. Most Americans do know their stuff. These people only had to name the popular states. I want to see them naming all of it(or at least the mid-west). That's the real challenge.
'
That would be easy af. I was taught all the middle East countries in 6th, and the rest of the world in 7th and 8th.
Although, I love learning about it though. Not a fan of history, but learning about places is fun. (:
I think they did a good job pointing out Mississippi and Kansas.
I had a classmate who had mistaken Mississippi for New Mexico. To make it even worse, we live in Arizona, right next to New Mexico.
most of these were exceptionally easy. throw in a Wyoming, Arkansas, south Carolina and an Idaho or something like that.
As someone that lives in Arkansas, we never get any attention :(. There is no way that they would get that right, lol.
Lonetive try Indiana, we are an road to New York practically😂 SOOOO overlooked...
US states where I often mix up their locations:
New Hampshire and Massachusetts
Delaware and Maryland
Montana and Minnesota
Wisconsin and Michigan
Iowa and Indiana
Can you do it with e.g. the German states though? :P
Maggou Funnily enough, I actually know all of those, thanks to having dated a lot of Germans. But I only know German states - if you asked what the areas are in, for example, France, Poland, etc. I'd be clueless.
New York "it's like the capitol of america"
capital
capetul
I'm Danish and I thought it was new York too oh try to guess Danish capital
I'd assume it's Copenhagen?
I’m impressed with most of them. I wouldn’t be able to identify areas of Ireland
I am happy someone acknowledges that. Recently I've watched one of these "americans label the european map" videos and I was slightly triggered, but I know I can not label all US states (at least I know the capital and the coastal states, but bro not all oft em
They were just identifying American states. As the guy mentioned, Ireland has only one state so you'd do fine.
Agreed. If I had to name Irish counties, I’d be in trouble.
I know a few counties in Ireland. Well, I think they're counties, some may be cities. I could probably only name like 4 or 5 though.
DangerDan There is 32 counties in Ireland
I'm surprised they knew so much. TBH I don't know any of the provinces of France or Germany. If Germany has provinces. I know like Alsace- Lorraine and that's it.
Alsace & Lorraine are french.
Sorry I said that wrong. I know they are french. Well that is if you dont count 1914-18.
I only know the largest and smallest provinces in Germany
Bremen and Bavaria
ohh, and Bonn because of Beethoven
in germany there are states not provinces lol
Red beanie dude boutta get knocked the fuck out talking bout some jersey in New York
I also thought that was horrible
When I saw that they thought Maryland was New york I just face palmed so hard.
Stealthyhunter I'm from Maryland and I was yelling at the screen.
I love the fact that you have to ask people from Ireland for the STATES of one country and they are still doing better than an average US American while naming COUNTRIES.
I was dying when he said the only state we have in ireland is intoxication😂😂
A lot of Americans couldn't tell you where a majority of the 50 states are, or even know all the names of the 50 states.
Belgian here, my goal is to see if I can just name 25 states.(I only probably know with 100% certainty where like, 10 or so of them are but I know most "more or less")
Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Cali, Washington, New York, Alabama, Arizona, Utah(hello Mormons), N and S Dakota and Carolina, Hawaii and Alaska,(15)
Washington, Nevada, Maine, New Mexico, (19).
I know I should know some in the South at least, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, Wisconsin and Illinois, (24)....
Ow, Colorado(thanks George Carlin), (25) :p

When they said California was the Sunshine sate i dead a little on the inside...FLORIDA is the sunshine state
Tee Krieger Ich war in Stuttgart, Deutschland ist ein schöner Ort. Wtf are YOU saying though my dude XD
Nobody cares. They don't have to know about the United States.
Honestly I thought Florida was a city in California 😂😂😂 I’m Irish btw
No one cares.
actually..South Dakota is also the 'Sunshine State'..don't trust me..ask Pierre (the state capital)
They. Just called. California. The. Sunshine. State. I can’t breathe.
One of my classmates where on an exchange year in the US and the classmates asked her questions about her homecountry. They've asked: Do you use cars?
My friend and I are from Germany.
WE ARE THE ONES PRODUCING UR CARS. I was slightly triggered xD
Lynn Gedankenwelt
Forgive me for their ignorance, but not all Americans are like that. Living in a country over 300 million, it isn't shocking why some of us are that dumb.
@@lynngedankenwelt9947 Where the hell were they in the US and how old were the people who asked? Jesus, no one ever in my life has said something as stupid as asking if Germans have cars lol.
Well that last phrase didn't age well
@Thot Patrol USA diagnoses u with weetodd syndrone yikes
I’m so proud they got my state and said nirvana is from here ♥️
Mo Wuggets same, I like that they didn't only think of rain
I'm so glad I moved away from that liberal hellhole state.
Same here dar bud
The music is about the only great thing from Washington.
they called my state a mississippi
@ 3:33 ... "I don't mind that you cheated; I'm just annoyed that you didn't cheat well."
Americans try to identify Irish counties: Scores = 0 across the board.
+David Scott Irish people try to identify American counties: "America has counties?"
+Ryan Davis US states have counties. Or parishes in Louisiana.
+David Scott or boroughs in Alaska
+David Scott or boroughs in Alaska
+David Scott Anyone who thinks Irish counties are comparable to U.S. states has made an egregious error in scale.
I'm a Californian and lost me cool when he said it was the sunshine state THAT'S Florida!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Julia N as a Floridian, I raged
As a New Yorker I didn’t lose much sleep over it
Florida is the sunshine state, not California
Kendyll- Multifandom how about shut the fuck up
Axel Venti how about you make me. I'd like to see that
Axel Venti You're a dumbass.
Kendyll- Multifandom you lucky
Kendyll- Multifandom wbu Florida is the hurricane state?
"Those aren't rivers! Those are state lines!" ...Actually both :)
+lurpinator really?
+PopTartNeko Sometimes. Usually the squiggly state lines are rivers. The straighter ones are more abetrary and man-made.
Pro tip: The state lines around the outside of the map are either oceans, Mexico, or Canada.
And Hawaii isn't actually just south of California.
Otherwise known as "natural borders"
Like one or two of them are rivers...
I'm going to be honest: I grew up on the West Coast, and I graduated high school in 1996. I'd probably have a hard time with the Northeastern states aside from Maine and New York, because the only cause I've had to pay attention to the rest in the last twenty years is if some horrible weather event happens.
SpamWarrior3000 dam I was born in 96 lol
+Adrienne Gurge I used to know them all, but from my perspective most of them are so small I had to memorize them by shape. (lol, since I posted this comment I actually went back and re-memorized them, because I was so embarrassed I'd forgotten.) I had to think about it for a bit, but I'm pretty sure I've only looked at a map of the U.S. that actually had everything labeled maybe once or twice since I graduated high school. I've never traveled further east than Wyoming, so I really didn't have any reason, except for weather events like Hurricane Sandy. (Same reason I couldn't do algebra even if you held a gun to my head; the 'if you don't use it, you lose it' saying is, at least in my case, very true.)
Schools graduate you. You graduate from schools.
@@encycl07pedia- Pedantic. While I can't say if this is universally true at a national level, where I live in America, people generally don't say they graduated "from" high school, unless they're talking about the specific high school they attended. Colloquialism are a thing.
@@FunSizeSpamberguesa Some people say "Where you at?" instead of "Where are you?". That doesn't make the former correct. People are st.p.d.
I'm always amazed at how much other countries know about the US. I wish we learned more about other countries in school
All I see europeans know is guns florida ny cali and Texas bald eagle and freedom
PSA: i am New Jersey born n raised and I haven't met anyone with that accent lol we always mimick it tho
Meggie Of hearts haha I’m from
Nj but moved to Georgia a couple of years ago and people always do the accent when I say I’m from there... they are so shocked when I tell them that in the whole time I spent living in New Jersey that no one had that accent. No one wants to believe it’s not a thing.
You mean you aren’t from the jewsey showa
Yep. They're right about us liking Pokemon, though! ... Or maybe that's just me. xD
I live in the jersey shore yet I have met 1 person with that accent
Same
Bet they could never find my state Rhode Island...
True

Mr.Rankings11 Or Long Island. As we're pretty close. XD

fake news unless you're from northern maine
You Irish are the best! I could watch you guys all day long.
They did surprisingly well.
how many people are American and still didn't know some of these...
JJ Chavez it's different for someone from the states because we usually just look at the whole thing and not all of the individual states when we think of the US. Knowing one state from another isn't really that important, unlike in other places like Europe where borders mark where one country ends and another begins. Plus, they most likely chose the easiest states they could think of. Seriously, who doesn't know where California is? This video was entirely unfair.
JJ Chavez thats me. I realized I don't know the east side of the U.S.A lol
Peter East nobody knows the east side. It's almost at compact as Europe
Emile Blum lol i know the east side, but i kind of cheat since i live on the east coast
I know all the states...
I suck with the East Coast states. I am an American, but if you asked me to point out the East Coast states like Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island etc I'd probably be wrong. Everything else I can do easily, those states are just so small and so close to each other lol
North eastern states always confuse me too. Connecticut and Delaware always get me.
ikr - you need a magnifier to see those!
Dallin Lyons Connecticut is easy bro it's in between ny and mass.
i live on the westcoast and i have the same problem but who cares nothing important happens over there
Maryland is easy-diving line between Confederacy and Union, really.
Those tiny New England states, and those empty nothings in the midwest? Good luck. I'm amazed that one girl could peg Kansas really
Literally 11 seconds in and full belly laughing at this! Brilliant!
Texas isn't the biggest state!
The Sunshine State is Florida.
Topeka is the capital city of Kansas.

"California"
"The Sunshine State"
Me, a Floridian: *no*
I love how everyone thinks the capital of Kansas is Kansas City (kinda how even most people, even Americans, think New York City is the capital of New York). By all accounts, it should be, since Topeka is pretty much just a big farm town. But Kansas City, Kansas is actually not all that big. When people think Kansas City, they usually think of KC, Missouri, which is where most of the population live.
I might be mistaken, but does Kansas City Missouri, and Kansas City Kansas border each other across state lines?
Yeah, that's right. They are basically one big city that spills across the state border. But KC, MO has grown a lot more and is now the bigger "city," even though that distinction doesn't really matter.
KCK is where you drive through quickly, KCMO is a sprawling city that you have to define which part you mean. North of the river you're good, Westport or Plaza again good to go, Troost.....abort!
Gladstone ;-)
Laura Carr I live so close to frost lol
They did really well. I can pretty much guarantee that none of my fellow Americans would get any Irish Counties correct. Peace.
True but nobody ever talks about Irish geography here so of course nobody would know it.
+Mike oone We dont learn American geography either
Hollizi Well...you guys see a lot more American films than I do Irish ones and I'm guessing, every once in a while they show a map...I don't know why you know our geography.
+Mike oone we dont know your geography haha, these people were just really good. Most Irish people know 2 states, California and New York and maybe one or two more but thats it lol
Hollizi That makes me feel better. Thanks!
Y'all did a lot better than I could have done naming places in Ireland.
And here's the kicker, my sister lives in Kansas, and I have no idea where it is, it if she actually loves in Nebraska, that I have no idea where it is either. I've lived here in the states all my life.
So um now I live in a burrito I guess??
I apparently live in New Jersey so don't worry
And now I live in Kansas.
Hey thats good unlimited food forever
beybeykess you mean "New Joisy"

Lorena Tav. i cringed so hard after she said that
Lorena Tav. You read my mind.
im canadian and even i know that :p
You guys did better than most American high school students lol
No, the states they got are easy to label for everyone. They should give them some states like Wyoming, Idaho, Arkansas, etc. Then they'll fail surely.
+Alber Lol americans can't even get some of the ones in the video right.
+HipsterPolice Must only be in your hick area. Or, if you're not American, stop making assumptions.
Amber Main I didn't say all Americans, and if I didn't live in a city in California where the average income tops $100,000 or studying pre-med I'd maybe agree with you. I'm proud to be born and raised American but I know for a fact that an increasingly large part of this country isn't exactly the brightest.
+HipsterPolice The problem is you live in California lol
I like these videos, I know nothing about Irish Geography so the fact that they got what they got right is impressive.
The saddest part is, they know our own states better than half the Americans that live here *facepalm*
I have a friend that in a geography test said that some mountains that in our region we can see where in the south and we live in the north.
+Jade LeyAnna Oh shut the fuck up, libtard. They made plenty of stupid mistakes.
Mr. White watch the video where Americans mark the states only one of the try guys knew most of it
Mr. White 😂 ok ok.. Number one, I'm not a liberal. Number two, using the word "libtard" automatically discredits anything you just stated (it shows your narrowmindedness). Lastly, number three, I was humiliated that they knew more than our own citizens. You can find the videos all over TH-cam.
+Cian Ceiri Watch the video where europeeons struggled to name the countries of europe...
