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?
