where to go to get shot

[Smaug]

I like Djibouti, because its fun to say.

[Setari]

What about the Congo and South Africa with their white native Africans.

[Sputty]

They're being massacred and driven out Setari.

[JetRaiden]

I like Madagascar, because its an island.

[Everay]

AND it has a cool name.

And now, we return you to your regular thread programming.

Cellphones: The only reason we are so low on that list is because we are way more populated than Taiwan. Any random 100 people in Taiwan are going to be more likely to have phones, because any random 100 people in the united states (if memory serves, 100 out of about 218 million) are much less likely to have a phone. I mean, look out in the extreme rural areas of the US. Little to none of those people have cell phones.

One of the people I worked with over the summer is Pakistani, and every August he flies back to Pakistan to visit his family. He said that the cellphone reception and service is much better in Pakistan then it is in the US... Why? Simply less land to cover... In the United States there is a lot of farmland, with wide spread cities and thusly widespread phone towers, etc. In a small nation, such as Pakistan or Taiwan, everything is much closer... the large cities are not widespread, and in some cases the phone tower transmission ranges overlap... no blackout zones.
