lol I don't think it was necessary to censor it either nasty ;)
What's your point? I live in the United States, I have never left the country, Belarus has done nothing important enough that public education history curiculums include, so I know nothing about the country, I don't know anything about it except that it is in eastern europe (I think, lol), and I put my 50 minerals on them to beat Greece, so I hope they win.
lol I just read the comments. Most of them were from people outside the United States who show they are far more ignornant than I am with their equally stupid comment. Apparently it's ok to flame the United States, but it's not if one American kid in high school doesn't know where Belarus is... double standards anyone? LGI by posting this here I guess you mean to embarass me, or insult me, or by showing a thread full of anti Americanism insult my country, sorta shows your maturity level =/ You knowing where Belarus is doesn't really make you superior -.- modified by Nightmarjoo
lol o and thanks protoss4ever for its location :)
And apparently from the gosugamers comments, it was effected by Chernobyl, wikipedia says 60% nuclear fallout from it landed in Belarus.
the german word for russia is "Russland".
the german word for belarus is "Weissrussland", which is just "Whiterussia". Don't ask me where this comes from, though -.-
but i know always where exactly it lies :o
/edit
i just read this comparison to the 50 states. i'd really interested in what percentage of pupils CAN name the 50 states. not necessarily because it would spoil the first reasonable argument in this thread, but much more because we have 16 "sub-countries" in germany, and i would probably need 2-3 minutes to get them all. modified by flothefreak
I've write a whole page here... And you know what. I delete it, couse the whole world knows what the word "American" or "America" means. And the saddest thing is that YOU AMERICANS MADE THIS TO YOURSELF!
I wish you know the taste of selfmade cheese from milk, which come out from a cow, which lives 1600 meters above see level. I wish geneteic made food don't come to us.
Unless someone has personally offended you with their ignorance, why the hell would you insult them?
Though I do agree that the American education system is lacking, that doesn't mean "hey let's bash on USA because they think they're the best!" It isn't like I'm the patriotic type, I don't claim to be the smartest person out there. I don't care if you bash the USA, but leave us citizens alone.
On a side note: 'America' actually implies North and South America and all the countries those continents include. Mexicans are American, Canadians are American, Argentinians are American. When you flame the USA, flame the USA! <3.
And "I'm the patriotic type, I don't claim to be the smartest person out there. I don't care if you bash the USA". You are not, but someone here is. Thats why BWMN education system is lacking.
People like Panschk can say what were the nations of the people here before, and what are now...
About the situation here... Panschk don't even care. He is more inactive then everyone else here... Who ae "inactive".
LGI, are you saying you're claiming to be the smartest person out there? And you're saying there's a connection between the level of mapping and the nation where the mappers come from?
........
I've already finished college so I'd definitely want to party with the people in the second picture hahah screw the whole discipline thing man, it's time to party and have fun!
... But ya, it's not such a good thing to do so much while in school.
I don't get offended when people diss america... but mainly because people ignorantly use that word and say "america" referring to United States. I don't think I've actually heard a person insult America and refer to Canada and South America too...
