I like the one for Oregon (next to Salem, OR) "Hate Witches".  That's funny because whoever wrote it TRULY didn't know what they were talking about.  The Salem witch trials were in Salem, Massachusettes - not Salem, Oregon!  LOL  :laugh:

lol, yeah that one almost made me laugh out loud, which would be bad since I'm in a training class right now...

I have said my peace.

I come from the land of "Bars and Drugs"...

You know, the state that was the birthplace to the following people:

John Glenn (First American to Orbit Earth)
Jack Nicklaus (Legendary Golfer)
Thomas Edison (Inventor of the phonograph, motion picture camera, light bulb)
Neil Armstrong (First person to walk on moon)
The Wright Brothers (You should know who they are playing this game..)
7 American Presidents...
need I say more?

Eh..To be honest it's a bit on the distasteful side  :-\ simply because it doesn't belong in a site like Airwaysim, maybe in a comedy show or a site where no one will be offended is ok. But the kinds of comments posted on that site would not be tolerated on this forum. It's easy to say it wasn't meant to be inflammatory if you aren't from the States. If it's making fun of countries, atleast be it aviation related, there is common ground for that here and it will taken light-heartedly. Also just because other Americans do it to Europeans too, doesn't mean you have to go down that level. You don't see that kind of sensitive stuff being posted by someone from US about Europe in this forum.

Swiftus, it's "piece", not "peace" - unless that was a pun.  I come from the land of South Park - birthplace of such notable figures as ... uh ... hmmmmm ... oh yeah, President Eisenhower's wife!

Yep.. Seems that humour is a difficult area sometimes.

I suppose no further on this topic is necessary.
