OK a bit off topic but I remember a Jay Leno "Jay Walking" where they were asking people on the street in LA why we celebrated 4th of July.

Unbelievable number had no idea. Of course it's edited but to have so many American adults not know? :doh

Yeah... I was a new teacher long ago and was explaining Hitler and the rise of the Third Reich and talked about Germany and a student then asked if Germany was next to Texas. I realized that I had to do some very basic teaching of geography before we should tackle the tougher stuff.

It is amazing how ignorant the general population is about history, geography, etc. Regardless of country.

Depends. Most Americans can find most states... for example. The USA is bigger than Europe. But states are not countries... but places are places.

So using your numbers, over 17,000 children will feel pain, rare? Hmmm, if they killed 2.5% of any nationality in any country it would be a holocaust, not rare.

Abortion is now a form of birth control. Something like 60,000,000 since Roe v Wade. Yeah, there's lotsa pain involved. Much of it after the abortion...often even years after the abortion.
