...a little Polynesian Samoan from the Y chromosome side stymies alleged 'inbredness'!?? Then again ,considering the massive global Y Chromosome bottleneck 7000 years ago during the Neolithic period with womens' mitochondrial DNA remaining unabated; we're all a little inbred these daze!:O::yeah:

https://i.imgur.com/YRYjoXI.jpeg Well... in fact... my great grandfather was American Samoan. True

Don't feel too bad. Many Americans below a certain age also have no idea where any country is on a map ... even the U.S.


I wish I was joking. :nope:

It seems many Americans don't even know that there are other countries than the US, Mexico and Canada. Many Americans don't seem to know that the English speak English.

Where do you come up with your stupid Bs ?

Yeh!! The English speak American! :yeah:

Geez, were they trying to sell you an insurance policy or an extended warranty for the car? :haha::haha::haha:

BTW, just in case- WHACK!

Experience. Met more than enough of those.

I would put what I know and the understanding of Geography and History by the kids I grew up with against you any day.

And your experience tells you that no one knows Geography like perhaps-you ? A number of us spent time in Germany protecting you. Remember that. We know where Germany is, that's for sure.

Hey, guys - please! My fault all this - the tenor of my OP was meant to question whether GB is quite as prominent or important as our press seem so needy to hear about in dealings with the US. Perhaps clumsy of me to attempt to illustrate this with the anecdote as I did :timeout:

We have to go back to the beginning of the 80's where the Swedish King and Queen was on an official visit in USA.

Each day there were news report from this visit. One day(I'll never forget it)the reporter was visiting a bar/pub and there he asked the quest if they knew Sweden and where it could be found on the map.

Those he asked didn't know there was a country named Sweden...Until he came to this man who was pretty sure Sweden was an island and it could be found north of Japan

Well... if you go enough North from Japan....:D

Not true, you will fall off the map. Also the map in the video further north in this thread is unfair, everyone knows that America is left on the map, and Asia is right. Strict geographically of(f) course.
