It's qualitative and relative.  I have yet to see a reason why somebody
would call a geo-political land  "better" then another.

Hmmm, I think there is something like that in Carmageddon 2 ;)

Anyway, funny post.  I think this same thread happened about 2 years ago
here.  Had the same "mine is better. No it's mine!  NO it's not! Yes it is!
No. Yes. No. Yes. nooooo. Yes. Ni!" effect on the newsgroup.

That's right. The time when you are most distracted is when you want to end
the call (too busy thinking about how much it's costing you) and you can't
end a call with the handsfree.

Not only that, but they've executed, on numerous occasions, mentally
retarded people.  Only lesson they're teaching the populace is to hate
the government.  You can also *** shoplifters to death, & somehow
it's OK.  "It wouldn't have happened if they didn't shoplift" is the
usual type quote for the room temperature IQ'd among us.  Geez.... don't
get me going.  LOL

Amen.  Now here's somebody who gets it.  These countries are nothing
more than political boundaries.  Political institutions do nothing more
than divide & conquer the population at large so as to retain power with
a minimum of trouble.  

There is one race, the Human Race.  And one country, Planet Earth.

Yes I realize you're joking.  But it's a typical ignorant American way
of thinking.  Not a personal slam on you, you're just joking.  ;-)
