What a nasty person you are. Is that standard in the UK?

The USA defines a rectangle 4000 x 5000 miles. It\'s land area is 4
million square miles with 50 states, 330 million people, a zillion
cultures and climates and cuisines, glaciers to high desert, and 20K
miles of coastline.

And you obviously stereotype it. That\'s sure easy.

Please stay where you are and we\'ll all be happy.

I was merely pointing out than in all of the above, there is a total
dearth of cheese varieties

We just went for a walk in the canyon and popped into the Canyon
Market, a little store in the village. I took a few pictures.

They also bake great bread and sell fresh sourdough pizza dough. We
make a pizza from half and make fried bread with the rest.

Half a block away, on Chenery Street, there is an official cheese
store with a lot more stuff.

Yeah, sure. I suppose if you ignore the Dark Continent, Myanmar,
Central and South America and a few other isolated instances.

He\'s talking about what we used to call \"Indians\" when we were young.

I\'m going to prove my non-PC bonafides:

\"How, white man. Where can red man find firewater?\"

My bad. I skipped the US native part. John is out in Fruit & Nut land
where places like the Chumash Casino are raking in dough. He should take a
summer vacation in Montana and visit scenic Lame Deer, Browning, Rocky
Boy\'s, Fort Peck, Fort Belknap, or Crow Agency. For extra credit he can go
down to South Dakota and visit Pine Ridge.

The Flathead res is doing okay but that\'s because they were screwed by
the Great White Father and the cowboys outnumber the Indians by 2 to 1.

The \'Indian\' thing is a sensitive topic. The preferred label is the tribal
designation like Kootenai or Blackfeet but there\'s a split over Indian
versus Native American. The Indian faction feels Native American is just
more white man\'s bullshit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War

Russia attacked Finland after WW2 had began, but before Germany attacked Russia, and make peace with them on the 13 March 1940, more than a year before Hitler attacked Russia. Finland had every reason to hate Russia, but they weren\'t silly enough to go to war with them on that account.

They didn\'t.The Greeks got all of that from the near east. Literacy goes back a long way, but alphabetic writing which is user friendly enough that most people can learn it goes back to to the Semitic languages of the Levant, and predate any Greek civilisation.

Civilisation may be cumulative, but it isn\'t universal - cultures reject stuff they don\'t like, as in Ron DeSantis censoring primary school libraries. and the US rejecting socialism because they confuse it with communism.
