okay, i thought this game was points based on how many things people knew correctly, not points based on how many times a person is able to refresh their blogspot friends' page. Count me out, it isn't fair that some people are online all day and others aren't.

Baby Boomer, okay I'm going to go with logic here. She wouldn't go to a country that cared, obviously. She's go to a country that doesn't give a shit. Sooo.... I'm going to give you three places that I think don't give a shit about that stuff.

Switzerland
Sweden
The Netherlands

Meh, I'm probably wrong.
