The discussion revolves around a poll aimed at gauging the geographical diversity of forum members. Participants point out missing regions such as the Caribbean, South Africa, and various parts of Europe, leading to debates about cultural similarities and the rationale behind grouping certain countries together. Brazil is discussed as culturally distinct from the rest of South America due to its language and cultural influences. Members express frustration over the limitations of the poll options, suggesting that a more systematic approach could have been taken. The conversation also touches on the importance of including all relevant regions and the complexities of cultural differentiation, with some humor interjected about geographical coordinates and the nature of the poll. Overall, the thread highlights the challenges of categorizing diverse cultures and regions in a limited format.

Column 17 Row 18

True. However, I live nearby in the People's Democratic Republic of Northern South Jersey. The only place on Earth where people speak English without an accent.

This is just a small poll so that I could know how diverse the people here at PF are. Also it is not public if anyone has privacy issues. I have given my vote already.

Do you mean where people are born, where they grew up, or where they're living now?
