Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Sweden is known for being confused with Switzerland

..how?

Free only if you eat it all within an hour time.

Because you kindof have the same flag and name. Not to mention you are in the general area (Europe)

Also, because I got no clue. Somebody Josiah'd it.

Look England flag, man. Seriously two stripes are kind of common for European countries. >.>



All people did swap was the colors around to make several different European flags. O_O

Speaking of which, anyone seen Josiah lately?

Who said that Europeans are a creative bunch?

I mean, sure, they had the Renaissance, but that was ages ago!

They couldn't keep people from fleeing their countries to create their new country after rebelling against the king, they seriously are lacking on the creativity department. Got to come up with new ways to keep the citizens in line!

I think that has a lot more to do with religion than being creative or not ... ;)

Leo is actually right. They're all copies of the Danish flag from a battle in which the flag fell from Heaven, and reinvigorated the troops. Kind of like Emperor Constantine seeing Chi Rho emblazoned in the sky.

It's because of the name

They think of Swiss cheese and chocolate even when ours are totally way better

Meh, European history isn't exactly my forte, I'm more interested in Texas history and WWI/WWII.

Just lol

Believe it or not, it's actually surprisingly interesting for a singular state.

Is it about oil prospection ? lol

Brute Tigrex with Frenzy is such a cockmunch.

Probably within the same metric of Brazil's oil boom, but we both know that's a drop in the pan in the expanse of time, isn't it? LOL!

that and most of us can't point out canada on a map...

my sons asked why we called them "french fries" and I told him it's because we're idiots and we can't tell belgium and france apart.

Brazil's oil boom which just imploded without booming. Right there, right now.

We're paying the price now. :\

Unemployment rates are breaking historical records because a lot of smaller engineering companies were counting with contracts into the local oil industry. The expectations got frustrated and there's been massive layoffs for a year and half now.

I blame USA and their fracking ! ;)

Seriously I am kind of grateful this bomb exploded as it served to expose the dirty inner workings of our government. The money pit is now empty and it's walls are crumbling on the dirty diggers (politicians) which are slowly being exposed to ridicule and to the punishment from law.

Who am I trying to fool ? -_-;

Edit: I think I should mention that 7-1 was good to put some shame on our soccer team, too.

My cousin married a dude from the Ivory coast, & said I was the only american he'd ever met to correctly name the country he was from just by him pointing it out on the globe / atlas.

Yeah, the original Texas boom was a blip on the radar, too. Though, Brazil's went bust fairly early. Which is why I made the comparison.

If it's any consolation, the fracking in East Texas and Oklahoma only provided short-term employment, and left towns that were growing around the pipeline, that grew for that short amount of time, left in the dirt after the construction came to a halt.

EDIT: Hands down, more interesting convo than P&R, as of late.

DOUBLE EDIT: Where was he from, Mos?

I watched a video on youtube the other day about what that fracking crap leaves behind.

Not good at all, man. -_-;

Hopefully people in Europe know it better and never do that on their land.

So, let's not turn this thread into a discussion about fracking, k?

Don't frack the topic ! :x

A little too late for that.

GB (technically not Europe) is crazy into it.
As far as real Europe goes:

Germany has been doing it for awhile and is really into it.

France banned it.

Netherlands, over 200 wells.

You can check out the list here: Sauce

Yeah I hated Frak too.

Damn just say it already! ***!

How is Britain "Technically" not Europe?

It is technically in Europe, but it is the only member state of the European Union not using the Euro, which is what Chaos is referring to, I believe.

Well, UK and Denmark.
