The United States of Eurovision

A handy little tool, a conversation starter and a reason to go to war with your neighbours all rolled up into one... it's the [Visited Countries Map Maker]

It's a very interesting tool. To see the tiny little bit of red my years of travelling have provided me with fills me with both sadness for having seen so little and excitement because there is so much more to see. But the real reason to visit this page is of course to witness the dregs of society (and I use the term "society" very loosly) throw jibes at one another about great their line on a piece of paper named a map is compared to that other line over there that barely deserves to be a line.

"team up germany, italy and austria, since their basically the same"
"Israel should be under Europe as it has been competing in the Eurovision Song Contest since somewhere in the 1970's."
"Also any American who suggests Palestine should not be on the map because "lacks most basic aspects of a government and is not capable to conduct its affairs" need only refer to America's recent foreign policy to get yourself struck off the map!"
... and every tenth comment or so goes like this...

" You forgot England and Scotland!!!"

And if that fills you with pain, then this should at least make you laugh... or maybe choke:

I got this huge chunk of red because I've been to Russia... to one city at the European end. Once. Looks very impressive. Loved the comments.
