Miss Teen South Carolina

"Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

OK, before i give you her answer, what do you think it will be like? She looks pretty, but does she have the brains for this question?

OK, i know this whole Miss Teen "i personally believe" thing is old, but i just cant leave it out of my blog.

So what did she say? Her answer to this question was ( you better appreciate it, it took me a while to understand what she said, so i could write it on my blog)....

" I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some ... people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, i believe that our education like such as South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and ...I believe that they should, our education over here in the US, er, should help the US ,er should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future, for our children"

OK, now who could translate for me, what she had just said?? The Iraq? South Africa, Asian countries, what do these countries have to do with the American education???

And whats up with the US Americans?? who are the US Americans...I bet Mexicans call themselves US Mexicans or US Latinos, or is there another option of UK Americans, EU Americans.

Why would Asian countries need help with education. Japan has a far out technology and the system of education is well built up, India's education is majoring in IT, people in India are extremely smart.

And maps are not the reason why some Americans cant locate US on a world map, i don't know how well they teach Geography in American schools, but i bet that they have maps in the school books.

I don't know, i would like to get some feedback on what you think is really the reason, and what do you think about the answer of miss Teen South Carolina.

Thank you!

The Myth!!!

Allmost a year ago, i accidentally switched on a russian channel, that was showing a movie called " The Myth" .

Chan stars as a character named after himself, in this case Dr. Jack Chan, an archaeologist plagued by chronic dreams about a Qin era general pledged to protect a Korean princess being sent to the Qin Emperor as a concubine. His dreams have no relationship to his everyday life and yet Jack can’t shake the feeling that they mean something deeper and has grown obsessed with them, so much so that his girlfriend left him when he started calling out the dream princess’ name in the night. When his long time friend William asks him to help research ancient rumors and legends dealing with gravity defying acts. Chan is swept into a series of events(fight in a holy temple, he allmost drowns, he has to run away from the police in an indian city etc)Chan also stars as General Meng Yi, the figure in his dreams. Meng is a loyal soldier who falls in love with the woman he is pledged to protect and deliver. Meng never crosses any lines with the princess but he falls deeply in love and pledges himself to her, setting up a story of unrequited love leading to tragedy.

The movie ends quite sadly, i was shocked when the movie ended, im not goign to spoil the end for you though!

Here are the Stars of this movie:

Kim-Hee Sun (Korea)
Jackie Chan (China)
