<p>Meh. What about:
Venezuela

Italy</p>
<p>i think it’s pretty bad that i don’t know any of these
probably something that would be important to learn in school but im ashamed i don’t know it anyway</p>
<p>I only know the Prime Minister of Canada. Because I’m Canadian.</p>
<p>haha./*******/</p>
<p>Stephen Harper is an idiot.</p>
<p>I am really ashamed of myself…I didn’t know any…Yay for being ignorant! :D</p>
<p>China’s president is Hu Jing Tao. only one I knew.</p>
<p>haha, there was this one kid in my school who was an outspoken liberal and who wanted to mimic pretty much EVERY position of the Democratic party.</p>
<p>so once he was complaining about the ignorance americans have of the rest of the world (though i might have instigated the complaint)</p>
<p>and then i asked him “well, who’s the prime minister of canada?”</p>
<p>his reply: “well, that’s one example!” (or actually I think he said “that’s why!” but the details are really fuzzy now >.<</p>
<p>Be like Socrates. Question the liberal’s opinions while feigning ignorance.</p>
<p>I’m not sure that Japan has a permanent PM yet. Shinzo Abe just resigned a couple weeks ago. Koizumi left several months ago.</p>
<p>On your list, I knew the ones for China (Hu), Canada (Harper), Mexico (Calder</p>
<p>Who is the Prime Minister of Canada? Paul something?
Who is the Prime Minister of Mexico? Calderon - or is he the president?
of Iraq? Nope.
of South Korea? Moon? Or is that the UN leader?
of China? Nope.
of Japan? Abe was the one recently - I can’t remember if he got replaced.</p>
<p>Damn I’m good.</p>
<p>I knew Canada and Mexico…
I feel like a stupid American!</p>
<p>I know the leaders of Iran, Britain, US, and the late Iraqi one off the top of my head. That’s about it.</p>
<p>I feel dumb… I couldn’t name anyone on that list :p</p>
<p>Canada’s PM is Jean Poutine. Or maybe Tim Horton? I forget… :P</p>
<p>Of the top of my head, I can name the leaders of:
Canada - Stephen Harper
US - George Bush
UK - Gordon Brown
France - Nicholas Sarkozy
Germany - Angela Merkel
China - Hu Jin Tao
Russia - Vladmir Putin
Cuba - Castro (if he’s still alive) but only because he’s been there since 1959!!!
Afghanistan - Hamid Karzai
Israel - Ehud Olmert
Japan - Shinzo Abe
Venezuela - Hugo Chavez
Zimbabwe - Robert Mugabe </p>
<p>…I’m an IR major. I should probably know more of them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve never heard it said that way. Only “off the top of your head”.</p>
<p>^^^exactly
thus I refuse to answer the question and confront my ignorance.
pfft. :P</p>
