I was just told over the weekend that 73% of all statistics are made up on the spot. Just think about that one for a minute.

I know Flunky, isn't such a sad shame that Americans cannot even find Lake Erie on a map? This is one of America's natural land marks. Actually we do have much to be proud of. Many of us that CAN find Scotland and any other tiny abysmal country on a map. ITS NOT THAT HARD, esspecially if you paid attention in second grade geography. Yes many people here do know ITS HOT ITS BRIGHT it must be a STAR (please produce a source for your statistics)... Dont get me wrong we do have our fair share of blithering fools but EVERY country does including YOURS! SO now my question Flunky, what makes you think you are so great all knowing and all intelligent to judge others based upon where they come from?????

67% will dispute my statistics. While 42% will be right. Now statistically speaking what does this have to do with the circumference of the spin of a small terrier?

By the way gottab however you spell your name, it really doesnt matter to me, i am not pissed. i am merely trying to prove a point. It is ignorant to stereotype and label. To do so merely proves your own ignorance as human being thats all im trying to say.

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh
