I SWEAR I haven't read ahead (and my likely wrong answer will prove it -- and as if I didn't have cred as someone who never scrolls and THEN posts...), I would say Sudan.

I don't want to play trivial pursuits with you, either. Somehow, scrabble doesn't seem like a good alternative (I like to bluff).

How about a nice game of yahtzee?

Someone hasn't been paying attention. On oh so many levels.

Whiff

Point of procedure! May I have a continuing "whiff" with regard to this poster, or must I continue to post serial "whiffs"? I commit to remove the continuing "whiff" if/when appropriate.

As to the base allegation, I say to you all I did not have imaginary sex with that poster......Ms. Puppy. I remain imaginary faithful to another poster.

Sudan and Congo shouldn't count, seeing as how their respective governments exert no control over large portions of their nominal territory.

But, then again, you can say the same thing about Canada, so there you have it.

That's why I leave Denmark off my list of the largest countries in Europe. Absolutely no control over Greenland. They're just sitting in Copenhagen, eating butter cookies.

I would have been very disappointed if you didn't get this one. Can you tell me the capital of the Maldives?

I'm just disappointed in this whole line of discussion. What's next? Diagramming sentences?

I'll confess, I didn't actually expect anyone to answer the question.

I'm sorry. To atone, let me post this picture of Uma Thurman:

For shame - it's Pretoria. Though I understand the legislature meets in Cape Town because they can't get any of the politicians to relocate to Pretoria (or Joburg, for that matter).

What do they call African-Americans there?

If I moved to Sudan (or other African country), would I be an American-African?

Oh boy. I cannot even begin to approach this issue through this medium and do it justice. Nor can I do so without sounding extremely patronizing. So, if you really want to discuss it, IM me. Otherwise I'll just say you are incorrect, I do not live in a progressive place.

However, I stand by my assertion that the capital of Chad is Juneau.

Not progressive by most standards, but your neighbors still know how to get down, in their own way.
