There seems to be some kind of mix up here.
People seem to be confusing culture, politics, and economics =S
erm yeah sorrry this post has no revelvance just annoyed me that the majority of it has nothing to do with starting positions.......QUOTE]
yeah me too.. though I should have known of course the most controversial statement I could make was that Americans deserved more than one star in the culture department. I know many Europeans just simply cannot stand that idea, right as it may be.
Anyway maybe I should have titled the thread better. Sorry about that. Maybe I should have said starting situation rather than position, though position could refer to situation or location.
