Anonymous Coward User ID: 24945571 United States 10/05/2012 11:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can see Russia from my backyard!! Hehe.. Russia CAN be seen from Alaska! I have never understood why it's a joke. Perhaps the uneducated laugh because Sarah Palin said it. She's not stupid! This are comments from about.com: John Concilus says: Actually, you can see Russia from the mainland of Alaska. I’ve done so... Although you can’t see the cliffs of Chukotka from the BEACH, if get get a 100 feet or more up the hill right behind the school, you CAN see the Russian Mainland on clear days. Honest. Peter N. says: I have seen Russia from Alaska as well. It’s easy. The mountains (which are quite high) in far eastern Russia are easily visible from Gambel, on St. Lawrence Is., AK. You may not be able to see the ground in Russia from mainland AK, but high mountain peaks are easily seen, especially from SLI. Dinesh Desai says: The two Diomede islands in the Bering Strait are only two miles apart. The big Diomede belongs to Russia while the little Diomede is part of Alaska. So, without worrying about the horizon, one can easily see Russia from Alaska. |

How many of you in EU have a commute like that? well apes there is people in europe that live away from groceries and have to do 100 km round trip....but they are not that mental to go everyday, not even once a week...organize yourself, shop local, produce something and stfu I doesn't even pass my mind to do even 30 km if not a couple of time a month The difference is that a hundred km roundtrip is still only something like 60 miles or so. People in europe tend to forget that their entire countries are only about the size of any given state. Where I live at here in N.C towns are normally 15 to 30 miles apart and cities can be a hundred miles apart. My daily trip to work is around 85 miles round trip, thats each day and thats if I only go to work and straight back home. Factor in a stop at a store and my total can easily top 100 miles or more a day. So when you tell me to shop local you failt to realize how far I live from any stores at all, fuckin smartass.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4865758 I have no clue whatsoever why you should panick due to such laughable prices per gallon in your country, which, by the way, literally controls the world's oil prices by its military might and it's epic financial fraud via a completely manipulated $ value.
