<sigh>
It's not true.
I'm at a loss of words with which I could prove to you how wrong it is. I think the only way for you to figure it out is to pay us a visit.

True, but talking to some Europeans ( and, sadly, a few Canadians ) has led me to believe that stupidity is like being overweight ... it knows no national boundaries, it's ugly, and it drastically slows you down.

That map is fun! :D

It's a bit out of date, though. In nowadays, it should be "Terrorists" instead of "Commies". :)

Maybe its not so much about stupidity as about ignorance.
Anyway this is not an anti-american thread..;)
Ofcourse this map is a joke and not all people are like that.. Its just about the numbers! :p

Does it have Rand McNally on it? Whoever picks the reference gets one of Preebles special cookies!

But that map cracks me up. I saw it a few years ago though. :p

I'm getting seriously worried about myself now. It seems like everyone posts some picture or link or some random shit, I take one look and think 'old'. This picture for instance appeared around about the time of the big bang. I worry about the amount of time I spend online.

Perhaps the first six thousand times it was funny -- now it's like meeting the guy who pulled your pigtails in third grade, and having him think it's still funny to do it at age 30.

These pictures are like the

-French Military History Thing
-IQ by state charts


and a million other things. THe first 2 or 3 times you see these, they are kinda funny, but after time thirty trillion, they get old.

i saw a real map like that once, made in the sixties. It was colour coded based on national governments. Blue for democracy, black for communism, and green for everyone else.

Yeah, as a conservative gay american, I assure you that many simple-minded people still have this view of the world, though I think the map here actually identifies more places than most people are aware of, and, no, if you did a survey of the average american, I'll wager that a majority would still view communism as our no. 1 enemy, not terrorism.

Regardless, the map is also fairly accurate, in many respects, though I don't think Canada is quite as good a friend as it used to be. Remember, the average American doesnt' give a damn about foreign policy. Why? Because we are ALL foreigners, and if we gave a damn about eurpoe, africa, asia or, even in the case of some smelly Siberians our natives left 15,000 years ago, we would have STAYED THERE ands done something about it. We left you to forget you, and really all wish we never had to think about your sorry asses again!

Oh, my! That is so...unintentionally funny! I'd feel more intellectually threatened by this guy if he could count. Apparently he has troubles when he gets too far into those scary double-digit numbers.
