Are you from the UK, USA or Canada?

[mr-tom]

Just wondering where most people on this forum are from. Obviously most will be from America. When I first came on I just assumed everyone was from the UK so I want to know more specifically now.

I didn't think so; I thought it would be a mixed bag.

Besides that: it is nice to talk to people from elsewhere.

Wow, with only Canada, the US and the UK, the rest of world is going to be really a large sampling, Europe, Asia, Africa, etc...

Hmm, what about us aliens?

World is not restricted to Earth, I presume.

What if I was born somewhere, I live somewhere else, but aim at becoming a citizen of yet another class in your poll ? (that's really true)

 

[tribdog]

I swear. Always got to be difficult don't you. It's funny.

Sorry humanino, according to this poll, you are in the "rest of world". I guess the "rest of the world" doesn't count as much as the countries specifically mentioned. But at least you are in fine company.

Do you have those idioms :
"The pot that calls the kettle black"
"One donkey chides the other for being a long-ear"
"The donkey called the rooster a fathead"
"An armadillo telling a turtle it is too hard shelled"
?
You know, being from the rest of ze world, I speak difficult

I wasn't specifically talking about you, but you are right. I am ashamed and I prostrate myself and beg forgiveness.
Edit: almost said prostate, and spell checker would have let me.

Didn't someone previously try a poll similar to this one, and they tried break-downs to include as many countries or areas or continents, and it all got controversial and messed up? This is a loaded subject, I think.

Yes, I remember that one. There aren't enough options to make everyone happy.

The UK is in Europe...

 

[humanino]

The UK is in Europe...

This is debatable even geography wise

 

[mr-tom]

I should have put more English speaking countries like Australia and New Zealand. But they're more like holiday resorts than actual countries so they don't count :)

This must be BY FAR the dumbest poll ever

ciao
marlon, from the rest of the world

I disagree. This is far less dumb than "who is the greatest scientist ever"
Einstein !
No ! Newton !
No ! Socrates !
No ! Kaku !
...
No ! Zz ! <---- to which everybody eventually agrees on PF

I'm not going to name every single country, I did this poll to see what the ratio of British to non-British is. So it's actually a very effective poll.

Sorry mr-tom...we're just goshing you . Well at least I am...can't speak for the others...

So why not just I am British/I am not British? How do you classify those from US & Canada?

I wonder if he is considering US&Canada = British. Yep, I am British/I ain't looks more good!

I would advocate a poll asking "I'm from here/I'm from somewhere else". This is less controversial.

I have a different method, of course

more good? nice grammar. it's gooder.

Really, you should be more nice. Did I mention that two times today ?

...but then, wouldn't everyone vote "I'm from here"... ?

 

[humanino]

Well, I would vote "I'm from somewhere else" but we could also have an option "I'm not from anywhere" or even "I have not collapsed, still am in a pure state of momentum, therefore I am from everywhere". But I think "being from everywhere" qualifies as "being from anywhere" therefore in particular "being from here". It is questionable though. Less clear is, if you think you are from "nowhere" whether this is actually "somewhere else".

You forget this is GD.

seriously? gooder is incorrect grammar too. that's why its funny.

Less clear is, if you think you are from "nowhere" whether this is actually "somewhere else".

I think if you were in a pure state of momentum, the probability of being exactly here would be zero.

And I guess there would have to be a "null state" option to accommodate those who think they are from nowhere.

Thank you for pointing that out.
I think my grammar is gooder now
