Disturbingly high concentration in Greenland, but otherwise looks like a solid 80% got it right

I’m impressed

Would this be any different than asking someone in Europe where North Dakota is?

Are Americans still claiming Ukraine controls Crimea?

I know people that live in South Louisiana that can’t pinpoint Shreveport or Monroe. Or any place besides where they are standing.

I once asked my paralegal to drive from New Orleans to Houma to file something. She had a panic attack. She had no idea where Houma is.

I'm relatively sure that survey is garbage. I seriously doubt 80% of random Americans would get that right. The survey was probably long or something and probably mostly intelligent people were the only ones to complete the survey or something.

Two comments:

Pics of said paralegal?

Also, I WISH I didn’t know where Bogalusa is.

If Louisiana has to take a shite, the turd would be on the Bogalusa tax roll.

Fat finger down vote, my bad

I had a buddy from high school in Houma want to come to Lafayette when I was at USL, he had no idea how to get here, after failing to explain it to him for a half an hour he asked if he had to cross the sunshine bridge, I said, “DO NOT come to Lafayette, I don’t feel like driving to Arkansas to find you”

I know tons of people that don't know their 4 basic directions. If I tell them to go West or South they look at me like I'm using a foreign language.

Yes, because South Dakota is not a country.

Seeing as it's a State, one probably most Americans can't ID I would think so
