Wow, this is the first time I see such a thing. I can't believe they've even bothered to make a movie...
Ok, call me nationalist and patriotic. Because I am!
Imagine a world without Romania...

I'm sure I read once that Samuel Pepys (died 1703) used a fountain pen to write his celebrated diary. And I'm also pretty certain that the second most spoken language at Microsoft is Hindi.

Wrong with the Hindi. There are more Romanians than Indians...
As for the 1703 stuff, it's kinda hard to make a fountain pen in those times. Plus, Petrache Poenaru is renowned worldwide for his creation, so tough luck.

Edit: 1/3 of all employees at Microsoft are Indian. I seriously doubt that over a third of Microsoft staff is Romanian.
BTW, it's really cheesy to get an American to do a voice over about how great Romania is.

Re : Imagine a world without Romania...
Romania has an interesting history, dramatic natural beauty and a great culture, and the world would be the lesser without it, but I could in fact imagine a world without fountain pens, unconvincing scientific claims and second-rate beer.
Maybe you're thinking of peniciline and the work of Alexander Fleming here?
Re: Re : Imagine a world without Romania...
There's always the biro, and I think the general consensus is that Belgian beer pwns all.

Re: Imagine a world without Romania...
Perish the thought.
When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

Wednesday 5 August 1663
All the morning at the office, whither Deane of Woolwich came to me and discoursed of the body of ships, which I am now going about to understand, and then I took him to the coffee-house, where he was very earnest against Mr. Grant’s report in favour of Sir W. Petty’s vessel, even to some passion on both sides almost. So to the Exchange, and thence home to dinner with my brother, and in the afternoon to Westminster hall, and there found Mrs. Lane, and by and by by agreement we met at the Parliament stairs (in my way down to the boat who should meet us but my lady Jemimah, who saw me lead her but said nothing to me of her, though I ought to speak to her to see whether she would take notice of it or no) and off to Stangate and so to the King’s Head at Lambeth marsh, and had variety of meats and drinks, but I did so towse her and handled her, but could get nothing more from her though I was very near it; but as wanton and bucksome as she is she dares not adventure upon the business, in which I very much commend and like her. Staid pretty late, and so over with her by water, and being in a great sweat with my towsing of her durst not go home by water, but took coach, and at home my brother and I fell upon Des Cartes, and I perceive he has studied him well, and I cannot find but he has minded his book, and do love it. This evening came a letter about business from Mr. Coventry, and with it a silver pen he promised me to carry inke in, which is very necessary. So to prayers and to bed.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Imagine a world without Romania...
Oh nice, a "my-country-is-the-bestest"-thread, but since I almost completely stopped using those pens, drink german beer and am not a diabetic(yet), I think a world without Romania might be a world without threads like this one.

A world without Romania is a world without war.
Re: Imagine a world without Romania...
Imagine a world made up only of Romania!
All we'd have to keep civilization going would be fountain-pens (errr, maybe), insulin (errr, maybe), and a few MS toilet-cleaners.

Didn't Sealand get invaded by some Germans about 15 years ago?
