Put the post on a new topic, I think you posted it in the wrong place anyway. I am thinking two months to the deadline.
Forever dreaming...

WOW i think you just wasted alot of finger energy :lol:

Pimpmann, i like ur comment on the previous page.

Bill Clinton actually did have opprotunities to invade Iraq in his two terms and was highly considering it, he also had an opportunity to aid in the civil war in Rawanda, (anyone remember?) but took action to neither of the two problems.

i don't think clinton could have handled iraq very well but he could have in Rawanda, it was a fairly short civil war, but a great number innocent Rawandans were killed by rebels.

By not calling these acts "genocide" bill clinton was not obligated to take any action, but he could have and possibly could have hepled build up a democratic ally in Africa by taking control of the situation in Rawanda.

im done discussing politics, everyone can take a big sigh of relief now :lol:

LOL. have it in nebraska, its pretty much the center of the world.... if you live here... i like the idea of hundreds of spud guns going off at the same target at the same time. imagine the spud slush that would litter the ground. perhaps it should be in idaho!?

Any where can be the center of the world if you look at it right.
But if you want it to be more political then you migh want it off the western coast of africa.

I live in Canada so one location I could go to would be New York as its only 5 hour drive. This would be a good idea for a huge meet in several locations on the day chewy died or someday over the summer. Hopefully something like this comes together.

That would be 0 degrees North, 0 degrees East.

The middle of the earth, is big, very hot, and made of highly dense metals. Not suitable for spudding.

I think what is meant is "find a location that is the shortest total distance for all attendees to reach"

Which is highly optimistic.
