So, what are they doing? Adjusting for the outcome of the next US military action?

sundance · May 2005

wow, that IS a goof...they even left off italy who's a US ally...and eastern europe, several nations of which are US allies...

Mojo2k · May 2005

cause google maps do not have maps for those areas...
its not a military strategic map sight, ... its so you can find your way to the dry cleaners or your friends house.. and makes sense that places they did not have maps in would be left out

They forgot Poland!!!

Weiser_Cain · May 2005

Why would we attack europe when it's done a great job of making itself ineffective all by it's lonesome?

Daz · May 2005

How about they just haven't fnished gathering all the data and setting it all up yet perhaps?

I don't know how you find the time to conjure up such sophisticated quips Cain.

America is crap.

How am I doing?

Mojo2k · May 2005

it does not take much to turn a thread into nation hating does it

MoP · May 2005

Nope, all it takes is Weiser_Cain :P
(Notice how I quickly changed the subject from nation-hating to person-hating? Nifty!)

Weiser_Cain · May 2005

I'm awesome.

rooster · May 2005

you'd still think even if they didnt have maps for europe they would at least have the countries there but greyed out.. seems like someone somewhere just made a bad call. I would be interested to see however if all the places shown there had detailed maps available?

and to be honest weiser you're becoming a little predictable.

Wow. You could have fooled me. I took the thread as nation hating from the initial post.

Malekyth · May 2005

It was a joke, not "nation-hating".

The inability to separate discontented quips from self-righteous hatred is the same deficiency that gives rise to idiotic terms like "un-American".

rooster · May 2005

Some cool sites in there.

There is such thing as unamerican(though the term has been used to persecute people in the past, so it can be controversial) and american-english(though I just call it american as it has a lot of non-english in it, chicago anyone?). I mean I can't even to begin to understand what the hell most aussies are saying half the time, so there's another quickly diverging dialect.

IT'S NOT FINISHED

Justin Meisse · May 2005

Weiser_cain and a pot of glue, sitting in a tree, S N I FF I N G!
I never knew sinking to someones level could be so liberating!
I HAET EVERY 'MERICAN cUZ they is ALL HILLBILLIES!!

No wonder he does it, it's a blast!

Weiser_Cain · May 2005

motives, one of the odd things about being unamerican is you kinda have to be an american before you can be unamerican, unlike anti-americanism wich takes all comers.

MightyPea, you forgot about yankees, cowboys, indians, cajuns, and crazy prospectors(I'm sure I missed half the countries stereotypes)...
I really wish I could make fun of you but all I know about belgium is that it's like a mini france with waffles. I miss Waffle-O Bills...

MP is from the home of tintin, poirot and jean-claude van dammme. so no doubt he has a stupid haircut, a waxed moustache and can do the splits in mid-air...

TomDunne · May 2005

Hercule Poirot was Belgian? I didn't know that - guess I need to read all the words next time...

If that was someone meant to be a stab at me, you might want to try again, as it says much more about you than it does about me.
Anyway, i'm not going to discuss this any further, as i've passed the point of no return, being: I stopped argueing, and i started being childish.
Now, how about you change your name, make a post saying how awesome you are, and then piss off?

Moz · May 2005

this has turned into an exercise in stupidity.

'cause it only feels good when other people tell me I'm awesome. As for making you feel bad, and I'm grasping for straws here, you ugly and you'll die alone. How's that?
