[quote=@Vec] [@All] Could we please stop it with the politics or, if you guys want to continue, do it on PMs. Let's not fill the OOC with useless stuff. You don't see me writing paragraphs on how we need money and better politicians etc etc and I expect the same from people. I don't come here to read about politics but to relax...so please. [/quote] But what else to do when piratepad crashes on me? Vec, you can't have your cake and eat it too. We must either suffer this bickering, or get back at the Shrek jokes, strange cat pictures, and general tomfoolery/stupid memes. Either way, this OOC will infect you :lol Edit: [quote=@Muttonhawk] That's fair enough, but it can still be a two way street. I was more referring to the impact of the US on its own rather than its social leanings. My main go-to impression was the impact was the GFC. A short-sighted policy in the US allowed some banks to tip over and make waves the world over. When stuff like that happens, people tend to pay attention to what the US is doing. Also, I'm not from Europe. [/quote] Umm...do you live in Africa? /sarcasm Don't give me the Sarah Palin Award for Geographical Ignorance; it was a joke! I know that there are other places and I don't use the [url=http://czechmatediary.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/world-map.gif]map of most of my fellow countrymen![/url]
