It greatly bugs me when people don't know where the states (especially ones like AZ) are located...

Me too! Or unable to find the USA on a world map, where major world conflicts are, and where Washington D.C. is located.
I've also had several "discussions" regarding the statehood of Washington D.C. The sad part is, people will only admit to their mistake when I show them their error on a map!
Are they really not teaching this stuff anymore? In fifth grade we had to learn all the states and their capitals. On our test, we were given a blank US map and had to fill in the names of all of the states & their capitals plus Washington D.C. We even got points taken away for incorrect spelling. We had to do the same thing in middle school in world history for Europe, and be able to know where certain countries were in South America, Africa, Asia, and knowing that Australia is both a country & a continent.
