I know this is TL. I know you all are more intelligent than this.
However, it doesn't help anything when I do end up arguing with non-Americans who do think of America like this. This is just my way of taking out some frustration after long and somewhat drunken political "discussion" with a Scot last night. He wouldn't let me talk and his questions always kept coming back to, "Why do you not think Obama is the second coming of (insert deity/prophet/genius/Enlightened One here)," and then not letting me answer.
Oh well.
EDIT: Also the one problem with kupax is that it's insanely hard to find the direct links for your files.

The map is somewhat accurate for me, I must admit. Probably as much correct as those "how America sees the World" maps you certainly know.
|
Yeah this is quite ridiculous. People have a fucked up view of America as a whole.
Alot of europeans are very ignorant and don't even realize it. Way to generalize you commies
|
hmmm looks about right to me.. really difficult to explain the west coast to non americans..its just different in every area..

pretty likely this is also how even americans in the blue region of the map see this country too, maybe with illinois (chicago, i just don't want to be a red!) and michigan tossed in there! really though, yeah a lot of the things northerners say about the rest of the US is in jest, but a lot of it also isn't.

michigan represent
!
the west side of our state is definately not blue though.
North of Lansing pretty much too =[

Yeah... you pretty much got it right, but I'm ashamed to admit it. I lived in the U.S. (Virginia, Alexandria, close to D.C.) for 3 years and thats how I see the U.S.... maybe add to blue Florida and most of Michigan.

I think the map puts the correct portion of michigan in the blue section imo ;d

See, the very problem is that you think it's the same to not know shit about america, and not know shit about the world.
Who cares about America.
Can you name 3 regions that make at least some sense, just like in the pic in the op, of Germany? Italy? Japan?

I'm not sure what your problem is. It's not like this is a serious thread - I specifically stated I'm just blowing off steam.
But hey, they're kind of fun to do, so here's a couple more:
Here's Italy:
Here's China:

disco is so right. Just add "shisha comes from here" to the middle east.

If you ain't in the pink I don't wanna know.

That's what you get for having a drunken political discussion with someone from Scotland lol.

Seems like a pretty accurate stereotype, except it's "racist religious gun-loving hicks" in the "south" and the northern part is mostly "don't know or care".
|
The west coast of USA is a very very strange place.
|
If I made a backpack traveling in the USA like whole summer or something, which places I should visit?
Asking USA citizens here
