Piketon is not in Central Ohio, but southern Ohio. Good choice. The southern Ohio people are mainly Irish, Welsh and Italian. They’ll protect our Government from anyone infiltrating that area. Mess with those type of people and it will be fight! They’ll turn in a terrorist in a heartbeat, if they don’t handle it themselves! They’ll defend our country inland and be faithful no matter what! Yes, they would even die for our country. Strong and stubborn and hard working.
912er - I’ve been to Japan. I’ve seen their maps of the US. THe map your friend saw must have been a specialized map or a hoax. The maps I’ve seen (copyrighted 1995) showed Columbus, Cincinatti, Cleveland, and Dayton.
Well, It’s about time a new one was built SOMEWHERE! Not so sure Piketon was the right place, but I’m sure the “greenies” will do what ever they can to try and stop it/one from being built anywhere!
No now come on they have to put it down next to the Uranium Enrichment plant
make it a 1 stop shop for the terrorist I mean former detainees, they are importing in the dead of night into our country
you probably dont know this but on the maps in Japan of the united states the only city that is marked for Ohio is
Piketon! a friend was on an internship there at one of the universities some years ago before 9/11 he said it gave him cold chills when he saw that!
I thought the greenies were against anything but the sun.
Will North Korea or Iran be prime on the job?
How bout next to city hall here in columbus or next to mayor coleman,s house in berwick.
Couldn’t they have put it in Springfield instead?
