Very interesting, especially the bit about America being a Far Right country.

 

[kirovman]

I saw this, yeah it is very interesting.

I don't think the far-right reference is in relation to the government (or maybe it is, it would make sense ), but rather to far-right groups (eg KKK).

Uber-safe countries to visit include:
North Korea (I heard it's one of the safest tourist spots around),
Mongolia,
Libya,
Scandinavia + Iceland (I'd always flee to Iceland in the event of a World War)
Vietnam,
New Zealand,
East-Europe.

etc

I just have one question, and that is why the hell do those damn pdf files always crash my firefox browser, why. Why dossamit. If you want me to look at the godddam map, someone shoudl tell me why everything adobe makes either takes 30 min to start/and or crashes.

Animal rights activists?

It's labelled "Single Interest".

Don't forget Switzerland.

Nothing actually happens there, so it's perfectly safe

Yeah...bit close to Nazi Germany though.... In the past I mean, of course. :E

The unreliability of Firefox when it comes to a lot of websites.

I think what it means by America being labeled far right is for the government actually, or some of the government policies towards gays, torture, far right Christian groups having a large say in the government and their policies, etc.

No, it's the instability of Acrobat when launched as a web browser plugin.

Indeed. Listen up America, the BBC never lies. :imu:

The nationalists are in the UK, it says. Probably referring to BNP or something.

I didn't have a problem with it, even when opened within Firefox :s. Go figure :hmph:. I do have Acrobat 7 though, so maybe that is it?

No it's not. It's referring to far right terrorists groups. It's a Terrorism map not a Political map.

Unless you like to believe that the US Goverment is also "Islamic Extremist."

Or maybe, it's referring to the Seperatists part. You know, like the IRA.

This is a map about Terrorists groups. It's not about Governments.

 

[Kangy]

Kilroy's face is nationalist terrorism

 

[Razor]

No it's not. It's referring to far right terrorists groups. It's a Terrorism map not a Political map.

It was probably referring to the far right terrorists in the government .

Maybe it's feminism...

Quite a potent threat, as Al-Qaeda is? :E

You have not a clue how it's like. If you're male and walking outside after dark you're as good as dead.

Now they will come for you too! Run while you have the chance!

They already got me a long time ago.

I'm now a pathetic house husband, bearer of 9 children. :x

Then there's no hope for you, sorry.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

We have domestic terror groups (not really that organized enough to call cells) with far right extremists and with racist groups.

Example: Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Aryan Nations

Quite a potent threat, as Al-Qaeda is? :E

The Earth Liberation Front is the best example. Envrionmentalist terrorist. It's almost like an oxymoron- but they do it. They bomb/arson/ransack (often spraying their ELF logo all over) construction sites and other things they feel are "hurting the environment"

[pomegranate]

Why is environmental terrorism almost an oxymoron?
