Edit out all but the most stupid answers and what do you have - another DUMB country video !!
I know. As a test - I ran a whole heap of questions past our step-daughter ... now 3rd year at Otago. She didn't know where Afghanistan was (thought it was in Africa) ... thought Iraq and Iran were the same country ... thought that Palestine exists and is a country somewhere near Israel ... and generally didn't think actually knowing the answers worthwhile. Considering we have troops in Afghanistan and a fair proportion of the current terrorist problem dates back to an ill thought out solution in 1948 (IMHO) ... I despair.
She not un-typical. Whilst many of these kids are fairly bright, they haven't got a clue about world events or current affairs in general. They're a pretty disinterested, apathetic generation, to be honest
Many Kiwis often claim that it's NZ's [geographical] isolation that creates this myopic attitude, but with the Internet etc. that just doesn't wash. They're just not *interested*.
Arrrgh ... I didn't mean to moan quite *that* muchLast edited by Adamski on Thu Jul 07, 2011 8:37 pm, edited 1 time in total.
