Plus you only need four colors and the map has eight.

you only need four colours with contiguous land masses, with discontiguous land masses you can have a situation where 10 countries all border each other.

In this case at least 6 countries all border the other five france, italy, belgium, germany and britain. Portugal borders all of those except italy. The last one, spain, borders france, britain and germany on the map and portugal off it. In this case you need seven as you can give the same colour to italy and spain and with the exception of portugal the remaining countries on the map all border each other.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The French do 'desert' warfare rather well.

Besides I predict Shelf will thoroughly approve of this.   :bowler:

Interestingly Channel4 news here has a correspondent who's covered this two or three times and it's worth catching her reports; it seems a rather strange situation on the ground, almost a complete political vacuum until now.

All you redneck French haters can go suck of some fucking Freedom Fries, you fucks.

They're taking the fight to filthy Afro-Islamotards, and there ain't nothing wrong with that.

Sarko isn't in charge any more, so you can stop the pro-French BS.

I've been pro-French since the Bourbons, bitch.

What's wrong with the French doing this anyway?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

They're free to do pretty much what they want in that region for all I care.  I just wouldn't support the venture if I were French.

I'm just kidding anyway.  Now that they're no longer run by that big nosed piece of shit de Gaulle, the French are ok.

Edit: Oh, and apparently the Cabinda enclave was independent as well.

Apparantly, so was Lake Victoria.

so, this was done with a coalition of the willing?
