According to a moron on an American show airing on Global, it's Mexico.

Yeah...I don't know where they find these morons (BTW, she didn't know ( Read more... )

Hmm. Wikipedia suggests that Mexico became its own country on September 16, 1810. I'd want to know more before I put any money on the issue, but I suspect that the US has shared a border with Mexico longer than they've shared one with us.

I think it meant "longest" as in greatest length, not oldest.

Meh. Spatial length, temporal length; we're living in a post-relativistic age, so what's the difference?

lol at tempestas_caput's comment.

Was this the "are you smarter than a fifth grader" show? I saw commercials for that and it just looks like a really dumb show.
Leave it to fox...
