Curious George goes to Scotland?

That's interesting because I saw an episode of Samurai Jack last night on cartoon Network where Jack ended up in Scotland eating haggis and competing in a stone throw. With kilts in cartoons like those, not to mention Scooby Doo, it's a wonder kids don't know more about them.

I saw that one too. My wife thought I was nuts watching a cartoon.

Kids, adults.. everyone sees stuff on TV, yet know little. Take Braveheart. How many do we all know that took this movie as the "real" Scotland, and version of events. If people don't take the time to teach their children about these things, and instill a value and importance on knowledge, then people well just believe what they see, or when it's fact, just ignore it and muddle on.

I guess my point is that people see them, and yet don't see them. I just don't get that part of it.

(And Stirling had a bridge!! Aaarrrggghhh!!! "Oh boy! The Highlanders are coming! The more, the merrier!" )

People only care to learn the things they "have to", like in school... "what do I need to know to pass this test", in general I don't think that most are intrested in knowedge for knowedges sake alone.

Having been to higher educational facilities myself, I have to agree. I got so tired of my literature classmated whining "Why do I have to know poetry? How will that help me relate to my patients/clients/employers/etc?" They just couldn't grasp the concept of improving the way they think through intellectual enrichment, and I couldn't get it across to them.
