As is "Russian"

It's a Forbes article.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Yahoo is reporting the results, not manufacturing them. If people vote for "British" or "other" that makes the voters dumb, not Yahoo.

OP is getting dumber by the day.

?

Those top 3 are the most classic rudest tourists/places to visit.

It may astonish you that Americans tend to be well below that on international surveys.

I'm surprised by Germans, though. They all seem like good, polite folk to me.

Look for Yahoo to continue getting worse...

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-yahoo-layoffs-20120405,0,7134203.story

2000 jobs, about 14% of it's workforce going away.

This is good news for the companies in Silicon Valley who are enjoying great times...tonight's news said that the various companies are having a tough time finding qualified people to fill openings.
