Altered maps

[Adrogans]

I'm probably going to end up hooking up a lot of CFCers. I have governor of France down to three people, though. Don't know who to pick.

Most CFCers are going to want to do minimal work for maximum benefit. Someone is probably going to offer me 5 US dollars in order to become governor of Portugal.

SOLD for $5 dollars!

I DON'T CARE NOW WE ARENT COMMUNIST, WE ARE CENTRAL EUROPEAN DEAL WITH IT.

The definition stands. It doesn't matter whether your communist or post-communist you were part of the Iron Curtain thus you are Eastern European.

I can has Andorra?

I mean, everyone else here hates it, so . . .

You're right to be ashamed of us for mentioning geography. We should have known you would do this, it is definitely our fault.

Lousy Eastern European Catholic Russians . . .

YES IT IS, AND WE ARENT CATHOLIC RUSSIANS. RUSSIANS ARE EASTERN SLAVIC, POLES CZECHS SLOVAKS SLOVENES ARE ALL WESTERN SLAVS. WE SPEAK MUCH DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, WE USE A DIFFERENT ALPHABET, CULTURALLY WE ARE MUCH CLOSER TO PORTUGAL OR ENGLAND THEN TO RUSSIA, ARCHITECTURALLY(SP?) WE HAVE A DEFINED ARCHITECTURE FOUND ONLY IN CENTRAL EUROPE, GENETICALLY WE ARE MUCH DIFFERENT, THE ONLY THING SIMILAR IS OUR RECENT HISTORY AND BY THAT I MEAN 1945 TO 1989.

 

[Adrogans]

So is this whole Poland is EE or CE really just feel like a game of bait the Polish CFCer at this point? I mean hes using caps now I think its time we go back to hilarity in Altering Maps and stuff.

Not that anyone cares but Coffee 8 for today just finished, will start Coffee 9 shortly.

I DON'T CARE NOW WE ARENT COMMUNIST, WE ARE CENTRAL EUROPEAN DEAL WITH IT

As we say in French "When we try to make him walk, he runs". I wonder how you can remain the last one with all this running.

TheLastOne36 obviously completey misinterpreted me, I was pointing out that given Anglo-American culture is dominant in Western Europe, its tenents were taken to heart. Do you know Irish history?

angle american culture was dominant in central europe before wwII and is again after 1989.

yes we were Eastern European in that time frame. Now we aren't. We weren't before the iron curtain and we aren't after.

"angle american culture was dominant in central europe before wwII and is again after 1989."


That doesn't change anything, though.

Your country hasn't moved.

(Actually, it kind of did during World War II, but not after.)

I would like to point out I understand where you are coming from Last One, I imagine many of the former soviet states which really did not like being such are annoyed to be lumped together with Russia as EE. As I said earlier I have no problem calling you CE, its not like its costs me anything to make you happy.

 

[Séamas]

I'm the only one not saying anything about their location, but why Westerners see them as being in Eastern Europe. Yet he still attacks me.

seriously now, it's only like that in Central Europe. It's not that we hate russians or anything, but compared to us, those russians and ukrainians are poor, and really, i bet alot of tourists will be surprised during the next euro when they see "omg Poland is like any other western european country! Ukraine is like russia".

He's overreacting, but this changes nothing on the fact that the term is offensive. It's funny that the politically hypercorrect Western Europeans who are afraid to say a word against their guests' religion are so stubborn about using an incorrect, wrong and offensive term for their European cousins.

It's like if the British called the French frogs, every day, publically, in the media, even the politicans would talk about the French as "frogeaters" or "surrendering monkeys" and nobody would realize that it's offensive, except the French, of course...
