Really not doing you or the rest of the US any favours with that statement.
Agreed. I can't stand apathy and there is a ton of it in the US. But, I think he mean't more on the side of "what others think" vs not caring in general.

Because I know for a fact that a very large population of the US is uneducated in a lot more than just sports, entertainment and "a little" politics. I was engaged to an american for two and a half years.

And I've just said ignore my post if I took it out of context from what you meant - don't try and start an argument where there isn't one, dude.

Ask anyone from the US who the leader of Scotland is. Ask someone from Scotland who the leader of the US is.

I bet the results are one sided

I guess because we are broken out between 50 states where as Europe is broken out between smaller countries.
Americans are obsessed with the world too. Remember when your country killed 250,000+ innocent people (half of them were children) in Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

There is a difference of being uneducated and not giving a shit...

I'm referring more about an obsession. Non Americans obsess about Americans however we don't share that same obsession. that is how I should have originally phrase my statement
