And sure of course not all of the kids are smart or educated well but I Am talking generaly.The ordinary 12 y-o boy knows the capitol of Ivory Coast because they have to study about this too.I think the most of US people have no idea what the Ivory Coast is -even they should know the capitol.Just trying to explain - its hard for me because of my english

That's cool.
But there's one thing you must try to understand, it's not that we're all stupid, it's that we have a completely different mentality. Trivial facts like the capital of the Ivory Coast mean absolutely nothing to me. And you're right, I don't know it, though I did learn about it 10 years ago. I find no real purpose in remembering something that I'll never need to know. And if I did need to know it, the answer is only 2 clicks away.
