Information gathering can be used in a number of ways, I have read somewhere that most of 'SPAM' data base's originates from europe, in the general vicinity of Holland? Just yesterday the worlds internet use has been stated as being overun with advitizements for porn/viagra? as they are compatable!, I wonder if there is any truth in the location of these, due to hollands liberal attitude's?

As a lot of bonafide Polls are quite useful, it is obvious that totally useless and seemingly harmless polls?..should be avoided with the revelation of it's instigator's location!

You have been warned!

Where would you classify Israel exactly? We are in the Middle East but anything but Islamic. :rolleyes:

Now what would make you think that?

All American here, as I do not like taxation without representation and occasionally poke fun at Europe's leaders like Henry VIII.

At least you are surrounded by Islamic countries right? I agree, it is hard to generalize into groupings.

Sorry about that, Motai. I don't know why I had that idea in my head. From now on I will quit imagining your posts with a British accent, though!

Male and Australian.

[off-topic]

but it annoys me how when people ask my nationality, i go "australian", but they really expect to know my parents nationality, that too being "australian", then they go on to ask where they are born, that being "hong kong" and then suddenly I'm perceived to be from "hong kong" too..

I'd also like to find out whether there are any other Dutch people here, otherwise I have some serious recruiting to do.

I'm not Dutch, but i studied in Leiden and my Nederlands is fading through lack of practice. Any snippets of Dutch would be greatly appreciated by this UK male. Bedankt!
