Since 69% of statistics are made up I wonder if those are.

Since 66% of statistics are made up on-the-spot, the odds are in its favor.

Most Americans seem to believe that they are the center of the universe.
Better statistical sample for such a question: how many countries wouldn't have its "average joe" population identically "stoopid" if their country was in the USA's position?

No country has a monopoly on illiteracy, chauvinism, and general stoopidity.

If the universe is infinite then one center is as good as another.  :rolleyes:

Most Americans think of the two as one in the same, and probably couldn't show you where Russia was on a map.
Of course most young Americans can't find Iraq, or Louisiana for that matter on a map.

Some American news organizations can't tell you where Iraq or Egypt is either

I would seriously question that source and would suggest it is a photoshoped picture. It originated from a blog which appears to be very opposed to certain view points, particularly Fox News.

I'm neutral in the matter, I'm just saying don't believe everything you see or read.

edit: I was wrong, he is absolutely venomous towards any view points he opposes. There is no way that is a credible source.

I believe it did happen in 2009,  not fake, but a mistake.
