    It's completely made up, it's not from any era.
  2. I mean the borders (not the labels obviously), who is crazy and bored enough to draw them yourselves :S
  3. That map

    We need Ross to come in and compare against his 30GB of maps.

    Anyway, I can't believe bullshit that are coming both from right and left in this campaign in USA. Right-wing with 'legitimate rape' shit and Obama and his wife with sweet talk: 'He's the same man I fell in love 23 years ago." Who cares.

    And yeah, I can't believe how low Eastwood fell with his talk to empty chair.


    Clint's speech made my day. The lefts reaction to it made my month.

    And I'm pretty sure he dont give a fuck what you think about it.

    I wonder, what kind of home schooling did they get :#


    You've never once had an issue with MSNBC editing stuff to push there agenda. You cant only be for media neutrality when it suits your own needs. And using this to slam home scholling is low. Quite frankly I expect better from you.

    Well you couldnt seriously expect someone believing that story of yours. I seriously think half that story is made up.

    Yes, kids are required to attend some form of education. They have to be registered and attending a school which complies with regulations. NOT a public school perse, as I attended a 'catholic' secundary school without any problems.

    Afaik home schooling is only possible here if you get an excemption from the authorities, that approach is fine by me. Kids need to be protected from overzealous parents in these case, except when they have good arguments why.

    Homeschoolong was an issue on the news a while back here because some random chick age 16 wanted to sail across the globe alone (homeschooling herself on the sailboat). She found some kind of loophole. Unfortunate, because who will stop 15 / 14 / 13 year'olds to break her record now.

    I have no issues with home scholling. As more people realize how incompetent, and corrupt the tecahers unions are, it will only get more popular.

  9. Well trust me when I say this. All American news networks are shit.

    The important thing is most conservatives, will admit FNC is biased, and has it share of dubious moments. Getting a lefty yo admit CNN/MSNBC is biased is like pulling teeth.
  10. All media is biased, that should be common knowledge.
