Europe is not a place. Europe is an idea.
I do not like, when with me play, and I think that you also

Oooooooooooooooh.  Isn't Turkey already a member?
Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God?

Not a full member.  Have been an associate member for 40 years and applied for full membership in '87.

Negotiations for full membership have been ongoing since October of '05.
I do not smoke pot, wear Wookie suits, live in my mom's basement, collect unemployment checks or eat Cheetoes, therefore I am not a Ron Paul voter.

The problem is that Europe has let in so many muslims, that they are a potent political fact of life there.  France is pushing 20% of the population, as are the Netherlands and Norway.
I think France is more like 10% or less, The Netherlands around 5. Norway has 1.7% muslims - roughly the same as the US.

So a Turkish airliner full of Turkish passangers was highjacked by a Turk - and I'm an appeasing pacifist. QED. A somewhat dizzy pacifist trying to fit all that logic into one tiny brain. And here I was, thinking I was a fire spitting blue-helmeted zombie. But I guess one can't argue with facts...

I think I'll go hug a plant now.

Something less than 5% of total land mass (by my rough estimate) is in Europe.  Population is likely a higher percentage, though.
If we really want to split hairs (and clearly you do), the plane was departing Albania for Istanbul, which means that it would not have left Europe, even by your definition.

"Aren't these guys just pretty much just ignorant, hillbilly, rednecks dressed in sheets, who talk funny?  Hopefully, in 50 years or so, we'll just have to put up with them marching at city hall once a year or so.  Do they have trailer parks in Fokkedupistann"

Do you know how ignorant you sound when you insult honest God-fearing hillbillies and rednecks? Do you even know the difference between a hillbilly and a redneck?
