    In this case, the one who is accused of offending the offended wishes he lived in a town that size or smaller.

    I don't see a lot of reason to teach geography in depth. Borders change everyday and all of them are a political construct. To teach regions is good,but borders change to often.

    Some people have curious minds; others do not.

    Geography is a lot more than borders.

    A discussion of geography without borders is known as geology. Certainly, borders are not the totality of geography but it's hard to discuss it without borders.

    I don't see why...since there are rivers, regions, mountains that extend through countries such as do The Andes mountains, the Amazon river, the Patagonia...
