Did Belgians not come up with the whole Hutsi and Tootoo thing in a divide and conquer scheme that worked a little bit too well?

To be fair, not to be all relavitist, but doing this kinda poo poo after everyone else figured out it isn't a thing to do is maybe something to condemn.

Back in the 90's a woman from the recently ex-soviet union came to visited us as part of a cultural exchange and she had never seen a personal computer before. I showed her how to play Commander Keen (read: I played Commander Keen while she watched) and I remember her asking me why numbers appeared when I touched the candy items and I had to explain what "points" were.

it certainly is tough to comprehend a road that goes for a long distance instead of quite a long distance but not as long a distance. what happens there?? where does the extra stuff come from. baffling stuff

I don't understand the whole "americans think 100 years is a long time, europeans think 100 km is a long distance" thing.

I get the second, but lol at the first part. Are there 100 year old french people who think they've just been born? Yeah it's historical time but what is there before 300 years ago that's worth mentioning? If you're not from greece or rome: ya ain't got poo poo.

Most of you euros were getting :a2m: by monarchs you retardedly thought were godkings or something. Britain didn't get a parliament until like 1700 and france got one a hundred years later. Germany wasn't even a country until the 1800's.

Props to france and russia though, they actually murdered their monarchs instead of allowing them to live in castles and keep all their money :wtc:

For something that didn't exist until 50 years later parliament sure did a pretty good job of killing the king for trying to reduce their power in 1649. Parliament itself is really young but similar institutions have existed since the at least the 13th century.

I think the idea of that prhase is more that things tend to be older. Like the city of London has been around for almost two thousand years and it isn't even that old compared to a lot of places around the Mediterranean. There were of course people in most of America for just as long but the Europeans were kind enough to exterminate most of them which makes it pretty hard to learn their history.

A bunch of Euro friends from a Study Abroad trip came to visit the US.

I took them to major cultural centers in the US. Disney was the most popular one. But I also took them to the Harn museum of Art and the Natural History Museum right next to it. Had a bunch of cool stuff on gators. Art museum was all Asian art.

Next we went over to St. Augustine to visit the cool old Spanish Fort there. Most of it is made out of coral. The beds were REALLY Tiny!! People were so short back then.

I also took them to 5 guys.


If a bunch of Euros came to visit the US. Where would you take them in the general area?

The Natural History Museum is legit the best tourist place in Gainesville.

Good idea, I bet natural history museums are not pretty much the same everywhere you go, considering the subject matter.

Maybe take them to see something they never seen, like a zoo. You got aliens and stuff in your america zoos right?

Probably the biggest wtf for me when I visited nevada was seeing >2 liter bottles of vodka sitting on the shelf in a walmart. Then later seeing guns being sold at the same walmart.

It was the largest individual container of alcohol I had ever seen and it was just sitting in the middle of a walmart, not even in a liquor store.

America is pretty wasteful with space.
