is israel in europe or africa?

[dragon wench]

how do you know where i live...? *runs away to my friends house in the nearby farm town and hides behind the cows*

You've said so on the board
And if you're "hiding" behind the cows you shouldn't be advertising it publicly you know.... that's illegal....

@ DW, So the folks in southern Ontario just charge ridiculous sums for us New Yorkers, and the northern's can't figure out where we live? Awesome.

Yep! It's a conspiracy to make life miserable for you Yanks, didn't you know that?

i meant the chickens...im hiding behind the chickens...oh wait no, they got killed off...umm the bunnies! im hiding with the bunnies! i didnt realize i said it on the board before...and i question your knowledge on remembering where i live, im not that well known here

Translation? Cali or the bible belt. One's full of plastic folks, the others full of folks that think reading anything not in the bible will let Satan in. (Well, not quite that bad, but us Yanks have to give those folks hell for what they do to us when we visit. )

its YOU guys that believed we hadnt "upgraded" to a 24 hour clock! and YOU who thought we ALL lived in igloos, and YOU who thought our government building was made of ice...and YOU who were surprised when you found out we had buildings with steel

and besides, its not only the southerners who charge you ridiculous sums i know where you live...its somewhere down south, all i need to know is where the white house is so i can make another revolution and burn it down again

You *really* are not helping your case here!

The reason I remembered you live in Timmins is twofold. There are not *that* many Canadians on the board, since I'm in the Vancouver area myself, I notice these things Secondly, I used to live in St.Catharines and my family would often route through Timmins on driving trips going West, so I know the place relatively well

[Sean The Owner]

ofcourse im helping the case, no one would hurt the poor bunny wabbits! ill even bring bugs bunny in if i have to! err...timmins? never heard of it...

[dragon wench]

Hmmmm....

[QUOTE=Sean The Owner]is that supposed to be boring? how about reading up on my town? lets see...

Timmins at a Glance(from Timmins Travel: City of Timmins Ontario Tourism Directory & Vacation Guide )

At a whopping 3,210 sq km (1,995 sq mi), Timmins is one of the largest cities, area-wise, in Canada. The gold rush of 1909 earned Timmins the nickname of the “City with the Heart of Gold”. Mining continues to make up the majority of the city's economic base and mining tours are a main attraction here. Timmins has another claim to fame, as it is the childhood home of country superstar Shania Twain. While in Timmins be sure to stop by the Shania Twain Centre, where her childhood and rise to super-stardom is well documented. Over 500 lakes are located in and around Timmins, ensuring a wealth of recreational possibilities. Cedar Meadows Wildlife Park is a popular attraction, as visitors can observe bison, moose and elk in their natural habitat. Inevitably for such country, fishing camps dot the shores with their rustic log cabins and main lodges, where meals are often prepared for hungry fishers returning with their daily catch.

i know youre thinking "OHMYGOSH! i am SO going there!" *sarcasm*
but if you actually thought that, dont come, this things supposed to make it sound interesting...the shania twain center? you get to look at her outfits, and listen to her music...what fun!

oh yes, and cedar meadows is just a bunch of trees and a few ponds surrounded by electric wire fencing and a bunch of animals thrown in there

oh yes! and the mines are almost dried up, they arent finding anymore gold...i think theyre down to zinc right now...

ah yes, the post that i was making fun of my town in... i forgot about that one actually...

[wing]

when was that from?

[Sean The Owner]

i dunno, they were talking about something boring or something...if its quoted, it should have the link to the thread beside my name where it says quoted by SeanTheOwner(link here)

[VonDondu]

Europe and Northern Asia (essentially the old Soviet Union) are on the same tectonic plate. Israel is actually on the Arabic plate. This map shows the major tectonic plates Tectonic Plates, but there are a lot of smaller ones. Most of Turkey is on its own small plate for example, and the UK and Ireland is actually a remnant of the North American plate that got left behind when the super continent split. Well you did ask.:laugh:

Thanks for the information.

I was aware that Far East Russia is on the North American plate, but I didn't know that the UK and Ireland were originally part of the North American plate. That's interesting.

Plate techtonics won't settle the issue of how we should define continents. For example, Far East Russia and the United States would not want to be on the same continent, and a lot of people tend to ignore the subcontinents which have their own distinctions. I've read that some people think we should consider Madagascar to be a continent unto itself, but I doubt that will ever gain widespread acceptance. Humans aren't likely to forget about history and and allow other members of their own regions to "defect".

Hey, I respect you folk. You watch hockey and drink beer. What more could a country bent on world domination ask for in a neighbor besides drunkeness and complacency?

BTW, Rushing down to burn down the capital city of this country will in no way upset me. It would save me and my buddies a great deal of effort. In fact, you let me know if you need any funding, eh?

Err... No, you won't. First you have to figure out where the White House is located, and from reading this thread I don't think that's very plausible.:laugh: Then you'll have to get there, and that is never going to happen, though I pity people owning white houses in the next county... :laugh:
