Why do you need to know the exact location of things off the top of your head? Like I can normally point to the general vicinity of a country/state and I don't see why you'd need anything else, especially with how easy it is to google it now.
I could be slightly biased for studying history, and my love of maps, but I do think basic geography is pretty important if you're watching the news and trying to keep up with the world. It also makes things easier knowing where things are.
Also the whole "I can just google it" is being pretty lazy
Yeah that's why I said that isn't basic. Like if you're hearing about Syria and you're thinking it might be in Europe or something like that I mean obviously that's important to know about. But I don't like how some people expect you to point out more obscure countries and states when it's probably insignificant.
whywefight, where does that gif in your UG avatar come from?

I don't see why it would hurt to know where things are. I'm sure there's less important things you have memorized.
It doesn't hurt of course, just seems like a waste of time for most people.
Also kinda back to carl's thing being in a post-rock band would be the best.
That'd be real cool with good performances and decent production.
i know i'm really psyched for it
i have to make it happen
Just got the iOS 7 update, it's pretty spiffy

That's what I was skeptical about. I dunno, for some reason I thought New Jersey was its own state. Probably because all the orange people there have big enough egos to claim independence. That or NY just didn't want them anymore.
