Im from Argentina, and the harsh language and behaviour of my fellow... idiots here, is beacuse of the typical brain damage due to the lack of food on the first years of life. For a moment I felt proud. After reading those posts, I whished that 2% be less...
But yeah, those adventures signed a generation of people here.
Posted by Sam on Mar 28, 2008 twenty five past four pm
You can't even properly spell "BECAUSE", you are not worthy of the PIE. Get out of here, majareta.

Maybe your sense of patriotism cames about insulting scandinavians. Thats another brain damage problem, but its from birth.

1. Conversations: We don't talk much. To have a couple of choices instead of limitless possibilities to say anything is extremely relaxing to us.
2. Subtitling: Text instead of speach is second nature to us. Thats how we have been wathing movies and TV for decades.
3. The pace. What can i say, we're not an actionpacked people.
4. The puzzles, we're good at them.
5. We're mostly grumpy, just like Ron.

As the upper list states that 28% of the visitors are from the US and 15% are from Germany, Germany should be above the US in the lower list. The number of German visitors is about two times bigger than the number of US visitors relative to the countries' populations.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Therefore, I kindly ask you to transfer 1 person in the breakdown from Germany to Israel and adjust the pie chart accordingly.
I believe that the Germans will not raise any problems with this change, because they are still trying to compensate for the past.

Has a lot to do with the great german translation of the old Lucasarts- Games, especially the Monkey Island games and Day of the Tentacle.
Thanks to Heinrich "Heini" Lenhardt and Boris "Doc Bobo" Schneider, who've done a great work.
