You ever hear some sh*t so ignant & stupid, you dont bother to correct people...

[ThumpDaddy]

This is actually a true story though. Pretty common knowledge actually.

Hell naw, I didn't want to hear none of that. The guy that owned that barbershop is a preacher anyway so you know he was arguing with the dude.

 

[dennis roadman]

no it isn't....its no different from Country/Region/State/County/City in the US. the shyt is simple...

the UK is Wales, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is the geographical island that contains England, Scotland and Wales...

iv'e know that shyt since i was like in the 3rd grade man..its why the Union Jack is a combination of the English and Scottish flags

i said it was confusing for most americans because americans are trained to not care if they don't know basic shyt about other countries

and guess what? foreigners are often confused by the provincial breakdown of US governance. why would they study that in schools in south america or africa?

congrats on your knowledge collection tho

It can get hard to not sound condescending, but it's good to try sometimes.

As for the UK and the '4 countries within a country' nonsense that garbage had me when I 1st heard it, then I realized it's a self-esteem term to keep the Scots and Welsh from feeling too bad about being conquered. The UK of GB is the country that's in the Olympics, UN, etc.

Bingo.

UK is the country, the sovereign state, and the only thing that matters.

"england" is a ridiculously overused term in the US. I dont get its obsession with the word. its an outdated concept, effectively a fairytale land. It sounds retarded when I see an american news channel refer to "London, England". Stop teaching the kids about "england" and there will be no issues.

A friend of mine whilst talking about a mouse problem in his house said that you can't get rid of them because they just keep laying eggs, I just went along with it until he mentioned that he had spoken to his brother about it and he informed him that mice do not in fact lay eggs...

I see plenty of stupid comments on here about topics that people are completely ignorant about, but I don't bother correcting them anymore. Especially when it comes from a close-minded poster.

Going back and forth with a close-minded person who doesn't know they're talking about is a significant waste of time.

 

[drugxglory]

I do that all the time on here.

I blame Street Fighter for my confusion

The game said Cammy was from England, so I saw it as England for the longest time.....then I learned about 'Britain' then the 'United Kingdom', and I was like " how many different names this place got"

I also thought the USSR and Russia were the same thing because of that game (LOL, Zangief)

Nah. I was back in Delaware. I get chopped over there on Georgia by the School of B when I'm in town.

True, I be at that shop sometimes I get my beard cut from Mo.

I was at a party once and there was a guy who actually thought this story was true.

snopes.com: Giant Human Skeleton Found in Saudi Arabia

He had everyone around him like I had to walk away to keep from laughing
