^ Love it. Not too heavy handed, but not too subtle to get the message across.

Well, Bush and congress.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Here are a few takes on the world according to the United States.






RIP Tony Benn (1925 - 2014)

"There is no moral difference between a stealth bomber and a suicide bomber. Both kill innocent people for political reasons."

“If we can find the money to kill people, we can find the money to help people.”

"I'm not frightened about death. I don't know why, but I just feel that at a certain moment your switch is switched off, and that's it. And you can't do anything about it."

[The World according to Americans]

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.
For I was an hungred, and ye told me to pull myself up by my bootstraps: I was thirsty, and ye demanded payment for the privilege of thine urine: I was a stranger, and ye deported me: naked, and ye arrested me for indecency.

i can't tell if the African comment is supposed to be sarcastic, or if the person is genuinely disappointed in not knowing the continent well.

It's an XKCD cartoon. If a character is expressing disappointment in not having some knowledge, chances are they're genuine. In this case, there's a solid chance that its the actual thought(s) of Randall Munroe being expressed.

That's pretty damn good.  I love the comment about the Peters Projection for Greenland.
