Really, I'm interested. Seems like a diverse crowd.

-"What country you from?"
-"What?"
-"What aint no country I ever heard of. They speak english in what?"

I guess I'll start. Currently I live in the Southern US.

"English, motherfucker! DO YOU SPEAK IT?"

Well that poll works if you live in one 6 countries

shame the pollster forgot the other 190

(And yeah, I knwo theres onyl 10 options, he could've made it by continent)

Yurp, various

A lot of people come from non-English speaking countries in Europe and elsewhere, so the poll fails.

Also, Tarrantino is drastically overrated.

Really, I'm interested. Seems like a diverse crowd.
When you do a poll that can't cover all the options, it's customary to put an 'other' option.

I'm from a uterus.

"English, motherfucker! DO YOU SPEAK IT?"
-"Describe what Marcellus Wallace looks like!"
-"What, I-?"
-"Say what again! SAY WHAT AGAIN! I dare you, I double dare you, motherfucker. Say what one more goddamn time!"
-"He's b-b-black..."
-"Go on!"
-"He's bald..."
-Does he look like a bitch?"
-"What?" (Gets shot in the shoulder)
-"DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?"
-"No!"
-Then why'd you try to fuck him like one?"
-"I didn't!"
-"Yes you did. Yes you did, Brett. You tried to fuck him. And Marcellus Wallace don't like to be fucked by anybody except Mrs. Wallace."

And of course...

-"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." (Opens fire)

I come from the union of a sperm and an egg, like so many others of my species.


(Hint: You could always look on the sidebar there:

The "Location" tab. ;-) )

I'm from Bangor, Maine.

Northern U.S., Chicago, the best city in the world!

Western US, Arizona, cuz it owns.

I'm from Bangor, Maine.
There's another Bangor?

Way to mooch off my witty answer :P
Way to acknowledge my l33t fast typing skills. I started writing that post when the thread was younger than your post.

Arona, PA (southwest)

southern england in the EU

I know there are some Spainish and Portuguese who used to post here not sure if they still do...

fwtw

UK

There's another Bangor?

yeah lots of us Welsh peeps went off to the americas (there are a ridiculously large number of places called Cardiff for example)

Do you mean where I was born, where I grew up or where I live?

I put down northern US but really I'm not from the north considering I'm smack dab in the middle of the country.

Missouri

I live in an imaginary world created by my lunacy. Care to visit? :)

There are countries on this planet that have not been part of the British Empire at some point???

Huh? Ya mean they don't even speak THE language? There's more than one language? Like gibberish?

No fuckin' way.

Missouri

Both. :)

South East England. Kent to be precise the former Garden of England, now chav central

i wanted an 'other' option :mad:. i live in scotland but i grew up in the channel islands and i was born in scotland - what do i vote for? i voted for scotland cuz that was the most currently accurate but it's not how i think of myself. i'm form jersey but i'm not from england (it's not part of england, or even the uk). :psomeone tell me i'm pedantic, they can go look it up on the cia factbook :P

The Isle of Man isn't in the UK.

Neither are the Channel Isles.

Neither is Ulster.

You didn't do very well...

New York City.

There's another Bangor?

What, there's a third?

I knew there was the one in County Down, and the one in Wales (pfft...Wales...)

I put down northern US but really I'm not from the north considering I'm smack dab in the middle of the country.

Missouri

That's Southern.

I'm from Scotland but currently live in London

USA, Connecticut.

My town is named after an old Revolution Colonel who was stabbed in the chest by the British with his own sword when they(Brits) told him to surrender. This happened immediatly after Benidict Arnold betrayed the colonists. I believe Groton was burnt down in the same day too.... (not too positive).

Wooh, first Irish person!

That is interesting. Gravesend is the name of my town because the plague stopped here (and the Thames whale died here). Also Pocahontas is buried here.

What, there's a third?

You'd be surprised how many towns names get repeated. I thought no one would even BOTHER to name another town after mine, but they did. There's one in Iowa, and aparently in NY.

Born outside your poll. Paris. Currently living in its eastern suburbs.

Belfast is boring...it just means "Mouth of the Farset".

Well, it does in Irish. Béal Feirste.

Canada.

A República de Moçambique! :D
Seriously, Southern US, but, yeah, this poll is really lacking.

Canada

Votei para Inglaterra, desde que nasci lá. Mas sou gaúcho agora.

A non-English speaking country, thankfully and fortunately.

Why do you have northern, southern and western USA but no eastern?

Why do you have northern, southern and western USA but no eastern?

...Cuz...no one says East US?

Hummm... I wonder why...

Anyway, I'm from the mighty British Empire, Canadian Dominion.

-"What country you from?"
-"What?"
-"What aint no country I ever heard of. They speak english in what?"

Anyone who quotes "Pulp Fiction" is alright in my book. :D And I'm from Texas if anyones interested.

Jules: Now, I want you to go in that bag, and find my wallet.

Pumpkin: Which one is it?

Jules: The one that says Bad Motherfucker.

Oh and here's agood one:
Jules: No, no, this wasn't luck. This was divine intervention. You know what divine intervention is Vincent?

Vincent: I think so. It means God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.

Jules: That's right! That's exactly what it means. God came down from heaven and stopped these motherfuckin' bullets.

Hummm... I wonder why...

Because I was born in one.

I'm from the North, live in the South and was raised by Westerners. What does that make me? Besides psychotic?

Why do you have northern, southern and western USA but no eastern?


There is no eastern US. It's all north, south and west. Really.

Northeastern USA ---> New York.

There is a western US, so there is an eastern US. That's not fair! You're not special you Westerners!

my parnets tell me that iam from western usa, from as in born here, still live here. but iam starting to dought them, not only that iam "from" the west but that iam even from here (here being earth)...people scare me too much for me to be the same species....

Usually when someone tries to post a really diverse poll, New Zealand still isn't on it. You post one of the shittest 'where are you from' polls I've ever seen and somehow you manage to include it. Go figure.

Does Europe still exist?

East US is called the east coast and for the record i dont speak english
I SPEAK AMERICAN

what, are you native american? you seem to type in english though.

Brentwood, Tennessee, United States of America. It's about twenty minutes south of Nashville.

Houston, Texas.

Nort Est Unitid Stets

Jaa.

I am a native born Cuban, now American citizen living in Florida.

I live in Wortham, but I was born and raised in San Antonio.

There is no eastern US. It's all north, south and west. Really.

Then what would Maryland be considered as. We're obviously not west, but we're not unioners, nor southerners. Masondixoners?

Major Heinrich Strasser: What is your nationality?
Rick: I'm a drunkard
Capt Renault: And that makes Rick a citizen of the world

East Coast, United States

Because I was born in one.
So was I.

Ooh, actually, I was born and own an apartment in the eleventh circle of hell.

Italy, Southern Europe :)

I am from none of the countries in the poll... so it's rather difficult for me to answer.

Originally from southern New Jersey, near Philadelphia, but spent my teen years in West Virginia and went to uni in Baltimore, Maryland. I've also lived in Oklahoma (very briefly) and Rhode Island, and I now live in Massachusetts.

Footie footie footie footie footie footie footie

Goal - it's a goal - goal!

I come from a pump.

Of all the "Where are you from" polls I've seen, this is by far the oddest. I liked the one which had the continents instead of countries...

Sweden, in case you're wondering

I am a USer.

That's odd, you're typing in English, which you don't speak. Care to show us what "American" looks like?

The Isle of Man isn't in the UK.

Neither are the Channel Isles.

Neither is Ulster.

You didn't do very well...

Ulster aka Northern Ireland is part of the UK

I was born about fifteen miles (if not closer) North of the Mexican border in McAllen, Texas. I grew up (partially, though they were my formative years) in Port Aransas, Texas, around many Northerners (mostly Michiganders and New Englanders, thus my accent). I've (regrettably) spent most of my life thirty miles North of Houston, Texas.

Ulster aka Northern Ireland is part of the UK
Ulster =/= Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland =/= Ulster.

Currently In Ottawa, Dominion Of Canada.

You know, rather than making poll after poll on this subject, why don't people simply look at the map (http://www.frappr.com/nsgeneral/)?

Yes

Türkiye, martyr blood colored flag with white crescent and star on it. Istanbul, an overcrowded ever getting larger city with 15 million population. Im afraid one day this city will cover entire country then some more :eek: But being able to travel between asia and europe worth it :p

Ulster aka Northern Ireland is part of the UK
Ulster is not part of the UK. Ulster is not also known as Northern Ireland.

I came from my mummy's tummy! :)

...

Living in the suburban wasteland of Markham, Ontario, Canada. Weeeee---!!!!

Wow, someone from Turkey posting on General? That's pretty rare.

And Istanbul fricking rocks, man.

Thanks, Its nice to see people who love the same city as I do. Its a different kind of love thats felt towards ancient churches and mosques and old friendly sycamore trees :)
For a nice calmer and older view of Istanbul I suggest you watch Spriggan. One of top quality Japanese animes that charmed me by taking place in Turkiye and being visually enchanting.

There are many Turkish Nation States players, I dont know why but they dont show up much on forums :( I think I might have to open a international incident thread and force them to roleplay there :)

Currently In Ottawa, Dominion Of Canada.

I love this map, why dosn't everyone add themselves to it? Its fantastic.
