    Me I would not have a problem if Turkey just disappeared from the planet. It's a kip of a Country. Russia too can go. I would not miss it in the slightest. Another backwards country that also never produced anything good.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I wouldn't have a problem with North Korea and Iran being nuked.

    Tuvalu in the south pacific may literally disappear in the coming years if water levels rise :eek:

    While I don't care for their politics it is in my experience a very nice country with some very friendly people.

    You would also be surprised how many goods are made in Turkey that you might not be aware of, from the complete lower end of the TV sector (generic brands made by Vestel), to a large amount of the worlds household appliances (Beko) up to high end chocolate (Godiva is owned by a Turkish company and produced there in large quantities).

    Here's a question for you - which country has the largest boarder with France??
    Germany? Belgium? Switzerland? Wrong it's actually French Guiana (close to Brazil).


  • Posts: 5,311 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yugoslavia

    You'd have to add Zaire, Rhodesia and Burma to the list. Not to mention the USSR.

    No, you got that wrong.

    The answer to the question "which country has the largest border with France?" is Brazil, BECAUSE French Guiana is part of France. France can't have its longest border with itself!

    The USA. The greediest country in the world and the country with the biggest division of wealth. Where the likes of Kim Kardassian and Kanye West are taken seriously. Trump at the helm is a reflection on what the country has become.

    I wouldn't have a problem with North Korea and Iran being nuked.

    So the entire innocent populations would be destroyed because of bad regimes.

    I don't get the anti-Iran sentiment either.

    I know a couple of people who have been there and were very positive about it.


    I wouldn't want any country to disappear but would like to see all monarchies, religious leaders, despots and dictators (elected or not) removed from power.

    World would be a lot better if all societies were more equal. I don't mean communism.

    Either way - I'm not going to any table quiz where either of you pair are setting questions :D

    I just hope that certain countries will change their ways and allow gay people and women to be free.

    That said, Carthage must be destroyed "Carthago delenda est"

    France also has a (sea) border with Canada. :D

    Basically, if you opted to get rid of France, you'd leave little holes all around the world.

    I assume you're on the wind up.

    But you don't want countries to stop existing like USSR , East Germany or Yugoslavia which happens due to regime change.

    You're looking for total annihilation and destruction of an entire land so that nothing existed any more.

    That's crazy.

    Anywhere except the Marshall Islands. We love that place on here after the flag tournie.
