Holly funk, US is big!

  1. Didn't realize how big America (colloquial name here for the United States) is until I looked the size of my country there and realized it's only the obscure state of Kansas. Apart from the Wizard of Oz there and Dracula here, who ever mentions these states in a regular conversation?

    Before today's "Kansas of Europe" we used to be part of what lead to the murder of an estimated 100 million people of this world. The Austro-Hungarian Empire that is.

    And THIS is what prompted me to realize how funking big the US is. Austro-Hungary is Texas! Now you (US-ians, the majority of people here) fought a war to incorporate that into your current overstate unit but that didn't go nearly even saying "near" as near from total annihilation as a similar (-ly sized) effort went here.

    So anywayza, these past days I realized US is freaking big (in surface, of course ;)!

  3. Right. What I'm selling was as far as I know invented in UK, yet has a worldwide potential (and beyond).

    Don't look at those insignificant guys from EE who are gonna change the world because that's not possible in the first place, too big of a world to change in the first place!

    Alaska is missing from that graphic, and it's about 1/3 the size of the lower 48. So work that into the graphic.

    I don't see the point. Canada isn't even shown and Canada is larger then the US.

    The point is based on the title of the thread. What does Canada have anything to do with the US? Alaska is missing from the graphic, and Alaska is a state in the United Stated of America. Canada is not.

    This @Aquarians guy is either incredibly retarded or incredibly naive.
     
  8. It is good to stay up to speed on American geography- Americans included.

    You never know when it might be important.
