<div id="ygrps-yiv-987630024">& australia is very easy for africans <br/>
<br/>
& antarctica is a cinch for asians <br/>
as well as islanders & boat people<br/>
among others <br/>
if any <br/>
whom we may know or even just think we know<br/>
<br/>
but whether we really know or only think we know<br/>
we are in any case fully comprehending here<br/>
& are truly talking & counting <br/>
world border fun<br/>
as promised in the title<br/>
as well as on principle squared & cubed <br/>
since day 1 bp<br/>
<br/>
& even with benefit of the entire flow of that rrheatorical answer you must have deserved <br/>
plus some time to think<br/>
i am still wondering <br/>
in all fun as well as in earnest <br/>
exactly what it was you were waxing so rhetorical about in this case<br/>
<br/>
or not about <br/>
<br/>
or about not counting<br/>
<br/>
& if not counting then why not<br/>
<br/>
& moreover <br/>
or rather moreunder if you are either counting or orating<br/>
do you really think we americans dont usually think of peru & mexico as old nations<br/>
or do you mean we do usually think of them as old but dont usually count them as old<br/>
<br/>
& yikes but who do you usually think we americans are<br/>
