                    Scored badly in the Middle East (55/87), 32/33 in the world (wrong part of arctic ocean, dumbass..), got about half points in Asia.

                          36/39 for Canada. I've never heard of Nunavut before, is that a new territory or something?

                              "In some of its more lunatic aspects, political correctness is merely ridiculous. But in the thinking behind it, there is something more sinister which is shown by the fact that already there are certain areas and topics where freedom of speech, in the sense of the right to open and frank discussion, is being gradually but significantly eroded." -- Judge Neil Denison
