Altered maps

Well, there does seem to be noticable decrease in new Polish immigrants over here. Apparently factories are relocating over to you now.

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...

You have to admit Sarkozy does fit the stereotypical image of French men...

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.

In england work for whatever, and wait for the day the Pound is really strong and goes from beaing 1 pund= 5 zloty to 1 pund = 7 zloty, then exchange all your money from pound to zloty, then watch the pound go back to being 5 zloty. Repeat. Many people get rich here cause of that.

But if I spin the globe the other direction then all of Europe is West of America.

I think we need a "The World According to the US" Map right about now...

 

[Adrogans]

It would basically be USA...Canadia, Immigrant Land, and places to visit. Oh yeah and China must be filled in Red cause the TV says they are red.

I'll scan one from my history book, it has Reagan lording over Thatcher Land (UK), Gay Socialists (Europe), Republicans & Other Real Americans (Texas), Proposed Palestinian Homeland (Svalbard), and so on.

And here too, Polish people seem to be everywhere over here, some hardworking religious folk, others lazy, ignorant pricks. Asides from the different language, nothing's changed.

And my favorite, the world according to google.

 

[Adrogans]

Case closed. Poland is in Central Europe.

You're wrong for reasons that you already know. I won't waste my time in rewriting these reasons.

Are you being sarcastic?

France was under foreign occupation for a very long time. So was Belgium and the Netherlands, and the rest of "Western" Europe under Nazi occupation. Italy is as corrupt, if not more than most "eastern" European nations.

So your definition of "eastern European" is a poor, Slavic, foreign-occupied nation? That's like...what? None? The only true slavic nations in "Eastern Europe" are (AFAIK) the Republika Sprska of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and of course, Serbia itself. That's isn't much. And neither of those were foreign-occupied (again, AFAIK).

No, I am not being sarcastic.

France was under foreign occupation for four years. So were the other countries. Lithuania, an example of eastern European country, was occupied by Russia from 1795 to 1918, and then from 1940 to 1990. (I said countries "have been occupied". If you misunderstood this it's because of your lack of sufficient English skills)

And for your information, Bulgaria has been hailed as the most corrupt country in the EU, instantly disproving any unsupported claims of yours.

Slavic countries are all in eastern Europe:

Serbia was owned by Austria and the Ottomans, and so was Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Also you western Europeans don't understand it. I'll try to compare, You know how blacks get all round up when a white guy calls him the N word? Well Eastern European is the N word for us. Yes it is that serious.

The n word is a derogative alternative name for an African. The n word and African in the past meant exactly the same thing. Eastern European and Central European is clearly not the same thing.

That is one of the most stupidest things i have heard. Since when does Slavic = Communist. China is Communist, Vietnam is Communist, Russia was Communist, Romania was COmunnist, Hungary was Communist, Albania was Communist, Belarus was Communist, Latvia was Communist, Lithuania was Communist, Estonia was Communist, Georgia was Communist, East Germany was communist, Armenia was commie, Azerbaijan was communist, Kazakhstan was communist, rest of Central asia was communist. what 800 year of foreign occupation? Do you know Polish History? Besides, the average citizens were not communist, only the govornment was. Also, You let the Americans teach you something?

He was being sarcastic.

Another map for y'all:

Sorry for bigness.

"The World According to Ronald Reagan" is much the same as the one in my school history textbook, but mine has Reagan dressed as a cowboy, and Kruschev (I think) dressed as a spy, trying to break into Europe. Canada is labelled 'unexplored wasteland', Thatcher Land has 'Reaganomics Prototype' instead of 'Disneyland subsidiary', and so on.

I still think our country code should be ei instead of ie.
