i hate being called ignorant.

like tell me exactly how many 14 year old english boys do you guess know the national anthems of:


 * Britan


 * New Zealand (in both Maori and English)


 * Australia


 * The USA


 * Canada (in both French and English)


 * Germany (in German)


 * and quite a bit of Flower of Scotland

how many 14 year old english boys do you know who are confident in speaking german and are excited to learn as many languages as possible

how many 14 year old english boys do you know who can give you the capital cities of most of Western Europe, North America and Oceania?

how many 14 year old english boys do you know who can list the us states, their capitals and their locations?

how many 14 year old english boys do you know who can give you the australian states, their capitals and their locations?

how many 14 year old english boys do you know who can give you the names of those who died in the columbine high school massacre, and the order in which they died (and i'm pretty sure what grades they were all in, too)?

like, i know it seems like i'm bragging but i'm not ignorant and it pisses me off so much when people call me such.
