I found very interesting map on Wikipedia, which BTW have a big flaw and it basically shows distribution of countries by political orientation...Originally Posted by washcloud
It failed on Yugoslavia, one of the co-founders of Non-Aligned Movement and leaders of the "Third World"... Showing it as a part of Soviet Union's political influence is simply ridiculous!
Interesting, I like much of what you put yet still like hip-hop, I guess that's not a reason not to like hip-hop then. So I wouldn't say that would give me "a pretty good idea of why" you don't like hip-hop. But to each their own.Your assumption would be correct. Let's just say I don't lose any sleep over sexism. A quick look at the "pop" musicians I like the most would probably give you a pretty good idea of why I'm not a fan of hiphop or rap.
My favourite bands include the Rolling Stones, Doors, Cream, Beatles, Who, Led Zeppelin, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Kinks, Yardbirds, Troggs, Blondie, B-52's etc. My favourite black blues/soul/rhythm & blues artists include Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Slim Harpo, Little Walter, James Brown, Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Ben E. King, Supremes, Four Tops, Junior Walker & the All-Stars, Booker T & the MGs, Robert Cray Band, etc.
however, I don't like stating that I like Hip-Hop because people assume I mean Will Smith, Lil' Jon, Lil' Wayne - any of the Lil's -, Rick Ross - in other words "pop" music.
BTW, may "assumption" was just sarcasm.
I'm not sure you know what "third world" means...besides, have you traveled across the U.S.?
Exactly! Why would we wanna go to Greece, there's enough Greeks over here! Besides, it's right next to Turkey.
A Glenn Beck fan I see.Man i envy your country. its paradise. Just watch out because some dark forces are trying to create a bloody public health system!and you know what that means?! communism man communism! just like linux and firefox! dont let them prevail! let people live without insurance and die, at least thats better than communism...
See, this is where the confusion begins. There are no peasents or villages in the U.S. Just cities, towns and people with lousy geography skills.Greeks in this forum are smarter and more educated than YOU,that's for sure !
Are you a college graduate?
I'm teasing you! Off course not,you're just a peasant who has never been outside his village in his life. And never will, because he can't afford it!

...unless you provide us with some hard evidence that you're his agent (or at least his momma) and you're officially speaking for him, the only obvioussliness (sic) around would be that :
One day he was told that Team Usa was to take part in the FIBA World Championship that was gonna be held in Turkey during Aug/Sept 2010 and that he was selected to be part of the team's roster.
Then another day he was told that the team was about to leave for Turkey.
And they got onto some airplane which eventually landed at Turkey.
And then Mr. Gay soon found out about the great weather conditions present (well it had been raining for 2 days that he'd been there already, but what the heck, maybe he's the Gene Kelly type kinda guy) and spoke of how great a city Turkey is. Twice.
You see, what actually is obvious here is (no matter what a nice person Mr. Gay may probably overall be - no matter if he dribbled and dunked his way through college -which would be OK to have done btw- but payed a tad less attention to the other courses) :
a) This doesn't make the US education system a complete failure, I do agree.
b) He hasn't been appointed as the representative of the average US citizen, OK.
c) His words seem as if they have kinda been generally dictated to him, probably by some PR person of the delegation ("...this is what you're gonna say if asked about this and that") - yet that someone probably just missed mentioning that the city is Istanbul which would make the country to be Turkey.
d) ...all these make me wonder why is it so hard for you to understand that it's apparent that he didn't know that what he thought of to be the name of the city he was at, would actually be the name of the whole god-damn effin' country (rather than claiming that it was simply a slip of his tongue). And it simply sounds ridiculous, even if he didn't major in Eurasian geography.
e) ... all of the above reminded me btw of other people, supposedly having to be a bit more cautious about what should come out of their mouths, considering the fact that they DID bare the responsibility of representing the average US person :

So Turkey is NOT great city?
What's that stuff surrounding the red part?^ Well maybe he had this map in mind while posting :
Yes, but I wasn't. I really do like Jean's tits!BTW, may "assumption" was just sarcasm.
i lived in greece long enough to see all that i needed to see.Greeks in this forum are smarter and more educated than YOU,that's for sure !

More of an ass man myself...Yes, but I wasn't. I really do like Jean's tits!
...or was just an ass.
Stop arguing, this is supposed to be fun
Anyway, Lamar Odom obviously deserved to be mentioned in this thread.
Journalist: Is there some player on this tournament that especially attracted your attention?
Lamar Odom: There are lots of talented guys. Like, this kid from Kukoc..
I mean Croatia. Ante Tomic....
I just love this USA roster, true blooper-bombers
Intelligence is not determined by IQ test, but by the awareness of your own stupidity.
Hey Adon, no need to be so serious.... USA educational system is way better than in Greece. We learn everything in a way too theoretic manner, and we end up staying in theory... Collaborations of universities with companies are rare, along with private fundings. In other words we don't bridge the gap between university research and real world applications of it. As a result research is not that highly regarded or promoted, rather seen as a job that will just spend money, time and space in a pointless manner (we were among the last in EU in research spending). Medical research is not that bad though, and we have some exceptional doctors...Greeks in this forum are smarter and more educated than YOU,that's for sure !

Unfortunately that is true to our daily lives also. We stay too much in words rather than actions. If we cared about actions at least as much as we care about words, things would be way better here, in every aspect in our lives.

...and do you think that I am too serious?
Who are you to judge?
I meant angry, because you took things too seriously...and do you think that I am too serious?. Bad choice of words. Others where toying and you seemed irritated instead of playing along.
Not to mention those 3-pointers.I just love this USA roster, true blooper-bombers
