That picture is a total FAIL as it does not include this flag (right up at the top)

You have to be inclusive, even though that will offend a great many people.

Confirming that Candians are terrible gamers. Also, I can't pass up the opportunity to call it America's hat.

The description also lacks the insatiable German desire to talk with other Germans at all costs and spam that in every available local channel.

Maybe because they aren't Russian.

The odd thing about that chart is that it doesn't even portray proper stereotypes.
Taking my own nationality, I have never heard we're 'masters of warfare' which can also be proven to be wrong, including one of the most hilarious military blunders in history, where an entire army annihilated itself in what began as a fight over booze.
Also, my compatriots are better known for exceptionally bad English, as opposed to the 'good English' mentioned in the list.
Being an average representative of my nation, I can also confirm that I'm neither incedibly skilled, intelligent, rude or xenophobic.
You know... morons. |

If you are really offended your skin is way to thin and you need to HTFU. There are plenty things in this world to get upset and offended over, children starving to death, genocide, incompetent politicians, etc. Not on that list is a joke on the internet. |

With a game environment as big as this one, it's silly to think that groups, national or social, won't group together. It's only natural for humans and animals alike. |

Dear EVE Online forum,
today DrSmegma is going to take a few minutes of his time to educate you about the proper use of national stereotypes and generalizations.
When we say, "The Russians drink a lot of vodka", then we actually mean The Russians. That doesn't mean that every single Russian has to drink a lot of vodka, or even any vodka at all. It just means that the average of all Russians, if you put them together to one person, would drink more vodka than a person that's the average of all French.
The single case has nothing to do with it. That doesn't make the stereotype wrong, because the stereotype describes the average Russian and not each individual case to begin with.
Now to something else: When we say "China is communist", we don't mean that every single Chinese is a communist. States have a life of their own. States can be communist even when parts of their population don't actively support that economy style. It is still a hard fact that the sum of all Chinese end up creating a communist state.
The USoA for example have been aggressive manipulative warmongers since their creation several hundreds years ago. Even though all the people who created the United States or those who led them through their first few centuries are long dead, the United States are still an artificial person with a life of its own whose core behaviour hasn't changed at all.
I think you can see where this is heading. Also, more often than not, people just claim that the stereotype doesn't describe them because they have a plank in their eye. It's hard to reflect oneself and even harder to accept negative facts about oneself.
Yours faithfully,
DrSmegma

One reason people seek heritage in the US is because we cannot legally claim to be natives of America because Native American is its own group... even though technically I should be allowed to be called native, I was born in America making me native by default. |

Hey there, sorry to offend you but this Thread is going to be locked
right now.
Why?
1) No EvE-related content
2) Insulting people because of their nationality
3) oh and it-¦s Off-Topic i guess
Have a nice day
