    C'mon. You know you wanna hate and despise the United States. So bring it on or maybe not. But of course do tell all why the US is so wrong. Yet you wanna corner the market on capatilism via the net. :D

    To those who have seen it. Awesome on your part in stopping in to see the big hoopla US bashing moment. And for a great laugh as well if you are a true blue American Apple Pie supporter,

    I know many of you great active politicians have seen this pic a multitude of times But for those who havent. Here you go for a knee/jerk reaction, Have fun alllllllllllll.................

    That picture is older than the internet.

    I'm pretty sure it was the homepage of Internet Explorer 1?

    And yet it is. But the point still gets across no matter the age.

    The point being what? America is ignorant and we don't care? People already see the U.S. as a country of uneducated hicks without you posting garbage like that. I'm not defending other countries stances on the U.S., but you don't need to add fuel to the fire. Impressionable minds see this picture and somewhere in the back of their head is stored "American's are ignorant."

    Impresssionable minds. Pfft people that are from countries than the US already see the US as a dominance. To say they are impressionable tetters on calling them ignorant.

    I am not adding any fuel to a fire considering responses such as yours and others who have blatant disregard to what the US. Especially considering that the US still has slavering going on with the illegal Immigrants and how they are trying to corner Chavez to give up on nationalising much of Venezuela.

    I am not fanning anything that isnt or hasnt already been dicussed on this forum. Considering I have seen worse things said about the US by many DP users.

    Most people from other countries have never been to the US. They don't know what the average American's political views are. Then they see the picture you posted and their brain automatically forms an opinion.

    What does illegal immigration have to do with other countries seeing the US as ignorant?

    I dont see that the Americans are ignorant, just feel that the map is sorta of tongue in cheek, humorous dig. No offenses.

    I thought that map came out of a grade 5 geography school book from Texas.

    PS: I live in the uninhabited region.

    PS: You're location is quite appropriate, and funny, for this thread.
