Its Slovakia, not the 'Slovak Republic'...
Whoa buddy, if you don't want to call it the Slovak Republic, take it up with the Slovakians, because they named it that. And the US government recognizes it as such. The conventional long form is "SLOVAK REPUBLIC". What you said is like saying "This is America, NOT the United States." Don't believe me? Allow me to rub it in by referring you to: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/fac...os/lo.html
Obviously Darunia has never been to Europe before.
Wow, the arrogance in that is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I was due to visit London on a class trip before 9-11 cancelled it. I'm sorry I'm not as rich and fortunate as your majesty to be able to afford trips to Europe.
The Czech Republic and Slovakia is not a fair comparison because they were once one big country, Czechoslovakia. But they are still more different than the US and Canada.
I think you'll have a very, very hard time proving that, as it's only a matter of opinion "how different" they are.
Belgium and Holland are nothing alike
They were one country until 1830. They're neighbors. Until the 1830 separation, they'd always been considered one entity. Over half of Belgium is a Dutch-speaking majority. They're assumed identical foreign policies. They're about as alike as they can be while being two sovereign states. Ass.
Darunia just has no clue what he is talking about.
Yes, no idea what ever. We were discussing the price of fish in Russia, weren't we?
