This amused (and worried) me - various great thinkers of social media suggesting the Czechoslovakia should be nuked in retaliation for the Boston marathon bombings.

This one made me smile to find out that if we'd adopted UKIP policies all the women in England would have moustaches.

I've just been watching [url= http://www.imdb.co.uk/title/tt0387808/ ]Idiocracy[/url] on Film 4. I hadn't realised it's a documentary.

great thinkers

OK, so now I'm thinking of Plato, perhaps Aristotle, a dabbling with Descartes, maybe some Nietzsche, a smattering of Chomsky. You know the sort of thing.

of social media

Ah, I see. So more Justin Bieber than Locke, Aquinas or Confucius?

If George Bush was still in the White House that would have been his first thought too 🙂

TBH, I've no doubt that if you asked the average Briton the same question about where they were from and where exactly that is, you might get equally stupid answers.

At the start of the Falklands war, most Brits thought the islands were off the coast of Scotland somewhere.

However there is more than just geographical errors in those statements. If a muslim were making those statements about western powers, they would be arrested.

I wouldn't necessarily assume that the muppets commenting were all American.

To be honest I suspect [i]most[/i] Britons know the difference between Chechnya and Czechoslovakia (a country which hasn't even existed for 20+ years!) - but yeah I accept they would struggle with something equally distant and similar sounding, say Paraguay and Uruguay. (As might I)

If a muslim were making those statements about western powers, they would be arrested.

Read some of the other posts on his blog/tumblr/thing. The idiocy and hatred being publicly posted by some people is quite mind-boggling.

I was in the barbers on Friday as it was all kicking off and had to explain to the two staff and two customers where Chechnya was/is. Mind, I couldn't say I was a hundred percent sure myself. 😀

"Nuke Czechoslovakia"

Given that Czechoslovakia hasn't existed for the last 20 years they are going to need a suitably equipped Delorean.
