I live in Vancouver, WA, the city closest to the largest Heroin use city in the US, and I don't use heroin. It is mainly because most of these statistics mean nothing in reality. Chances are that there are a lot of fat people here, but I don't even know if this exactly equates to us having the most. (What, do they look at all 300 million files and count everyones weight, and then compare it to the smaller countries?)

I recall exactly they use in their statistics. Few years ago, there was a study shown on the news. My mother said the rankings were based on the number of fast food restaurants per square mile or something stupid like that. If that is indeed the case, then you're right in that the stats mean nothing.

Wow, as far as I know, having something does not mean every person uses it... I have a computer, does that mean everyone in a 5 square mile radius use it0.o

I'm not mad at the person who posted the link, where did you get that from? The link itself is just a joke.

Quote: "You're missing the point. Most would go to that page, assume it's just a Google page, and browse somewhere else. They won't click around."

Yes, so only people who are looking for an argument (ie. you) will comment on what I'm saying despite having no idea what I am talking about. Any other sensible person will ignore it.

Quote: "You're obviously arguing for the sake of it."

Arguing with who exactly? I'm not arguing with you, you're trying your best to argue with me however. Don't tell me I'm arguing just because you made a mistake due to being too quick to assume things. Thus, your statement refers to you.

Quote: "Forget it, not worth arguing with close-minded people."

So don't argue with yourself. Exactly what am I close-minded about?

I come and state my opinion about a web page. You come in and tell me how to act, I prove that your 3 brain cells aren't functioning today, then you start complaining about how I didn't properly indicate what I was talking about and tell me it's not worth arguing with me. Does anyone see the irony here?

Quote: "France has had a lot of crap dealt to it recently by western governments, but that doesn't mean we can't joke around."

How come if someone mentions how much of a mess America made in Iraq the thread automatically gets locked? Surely it's just joking around. Lolz.

@Underlord: Yes, I was talking about the country, and yes I'm agree with everything you've written so no need to put on an anti-flame suit ! (...plus ,as far as I know, I've never flamed anybody here.)

I know this a 'joke' (I'm talking about the Benjamin's link), the only thing that I disliked is how offensive it's written and how Jeku's see it as just a list of French lost wars.

Now, that was just my 2 cents , so I stop talking about that.

Quote: "As I said, 9/11 is a different idea, as are the London Bombings, and other terrorist attacks. There's nothing funny about terrorism, unless you enjoy watching thousands of people die. There's not even something funny about a bunch of French dying in wars, but looking at the big picture, it is semi-humorous and has become a joke that they have never really won a war."


Ok then... I find it humourous that the US have never really prevented a terrorist attack.
