"who can name 10 countries in Africa without an internet assist? if you cant, you arguably accept exploitation of the other 46 (56-10) African countries that you can't name"
Without looking I can name almost every country in africa. With a map and borders (no names) in front of me I can get them all. Don't ask me to name all the capitals though.. I can't do that.
Most people will get: Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, tunisia, South Africa, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania right away.
Because of Ebola also Ivory cost, liberia, and Zaire (or DPRC or whatever they want to be called now).
From there its easy to fill in Zimbabwe (or Rhodesia if you wanna piss people off), central african republic, angola, Chad, ghana, togo, benin, nigeria, niger, botsawa, Sierrrrrrra Leone and so on. Tanzania will probably get named a lot too. There is a break off island nation fron Tanzania whose name I can't remember.. but there's google for that:P
Or you can just learn the animaniacs song where yacko sings all the countries of the world.
And you point is what exactly?:P Sadly I'm better at countries then I am at US states.. but why would I know all of those:P
I can find the ones I want to visit though easily enough along with Missouri:P.
And yes, we largely live off the exploitation of the 3rd world although it's not necessarily 100% that. Although our trade policies have done a lot of harm, they have actually massively increased the development level of many of these countries along with their living standards.. just not in the most equitable, humane, or environmentally friendly way.
And yes, I wrote this whole thing without google, any kind of map reference, or my wife being awake to cheer me on:P
