Americans only learn about American history, thats all. I saw a bit on TV the other nigh where some Aussies were in USA asking random questions to American public in the street. Do you know where Australia is?, Do you know where china is? they couldnt answer these questions with any confidence, the guy asking actually told the American person that china was town within Australia and they actually believed it!
But worst of all, he then prceeded to ask, what month was the 9/11 attacks? Answered by an American: "October". No sh!t how brain fried are these people?
Americans barely learn anything, they seem to think they were born knowing everything they will ever need to know.

ha! There's a particular group in America that are known for using the TV as a learning guide to learn about other groups and cultures. *ahem*

The education system is very jacked. A lot of lies are told. It is important for people to take it upon themselves to learn the real history. They try and make it some adventure/fairy tale story. It's horrible!
