I just wanted to find out the nationality of NS users.....perhaps in order to understand some of the opinions I've seen in the forum......perhaps because I'm just curious.

And perhaps because you're planning to stalk and kill us all. How will we ever know?

United States ... damn program kept changing "US" and "USA" to "Us" and "Usa". Feh,

There's a poll now

And perhaps because you're planning to stalk and kill us all. How will we ever know?

I have been getting lonely...

I demand a poll with every country in the world listed as choice.:mad:

And perhaps because you're planning to stalk and kill us all. How will we ever know?
:eek: I didn't think of that!

I'm an Albertan.

Which means I'm Canadian, but I explicitly reject the welfare state.

And perhaps because you're planning to stalk and kill us all. How will we ever know?
Depends what country you come from

I demand a poll with every country in the world listed as choice.:mad:
Start typing then.

I'm American.

Okay, why Flapping head-ian?

Half German, half Austrian with Swedish ancestry, living in Ireland.
Now, what do I select in that poll of yours that lists only anglophone countries and insults the only non-anglophone country you included?

Okay, why Flapping head-ian?
Hats with ear-flaps?

I'm from Argentina.

Oh, right. OK

:p

Then that would be "other". By the way we have the Falklands and you don't so hahahahahahahhahahaha! You'll never have them now!

I'm New Jerseyan, but voted American because that was the closest thing on the poll.

That's what I call a dork. Did you fight for them? It's just a piece of land!

I have a wonderful life, btw. That's hard to beat. =)

New Jersey eh? How do you like portrayed to the world as America's trash heap? (Futurama) Is it the truth or a vicious slander perpetrated by shifty-eyed outsiders?

Judging from THAT poll, you're USAmerican.
"There's the US, there's England, there's a bunch of other anglophone countries, there's that country that keeps contradicting us.... oh, and there's the rest of the world, then" :rolleyes:

Of all the non-English speaking countries out here, France is the only one mentioned in the poll. Right. :rolleyes:

It's OUR bit of land...and that's what's important. Besides you invaded them in the first place! And you cheated in the 1986 World Cup! We've started to forgive Germany but for that Argentina will never recieve our absolution.

Sadly, I think s/he's English.

I'm Human.
That unpatriotic attitude is exactly what's wrong with (insert nation here) these days. Tsk tsk

you cheated in the 1986 World Cup!...and that's what's important

Fixed :p

You mean that kind of ignorant arrogance is spreading??? :eek:

New Jersey eh? How do you like portrayed to the world as America's trash heap? (Futurama) Is it the truth or a vicious slander perpetrated by shifty-eyed outsiders?
True New Jerseyans don't want the rest of the world to know what a fine place it is, they'll want to move there.

Fixed :p
My thanks

Well, I think it started there to begin with :p

In his defense, this is an English forum, so anglophone countries probably make up the vast majority. I mean, there is only a maximum of ten poll options.

In his defense, this is an English forum, so anglophone countries probably make up the vast majority. I mean, there is only a maximum of ten poll options.

True, the majority will be from either the UK or the USA. But if I counted them correctly, there are about as many Germans among the regular posters as there are Irish, for example.

And let's face it English is the best language and the anglophone countries the most important. And it's not as if there's a huge number of people who've chosen other.

Yes, I did all that. I'm a sort of Wandering Jew.

Absolution, said the mosquito. Who cares?
I'm glad that most British people I know aren't dorks. Did you start the thread to stereotype us all?

Still wet behind the ears?

A cunning plan indeed! Anywhere else using a similar ruse?

Might be because they refuse to vote....

ok, but someone with a low post count is meant to know that how?

English but I prefer British myself because it reminds me of beef smothered in gravy with mash potato and Yorkshires….

I didn't mean that he was right, just that, for someone relatively new to the forums, the mistake is understandable.

The accent alone is enough to scare them away :P

More than have chosen French, Australian, NZ and South African tho....

It's widely accepted that most legends are based on a grain of truth. I take the same approach with stereotypes....just to a greater extent.
"Yes, I did all that"- People are held responsible for their nation's actions in an informal manner not in a legal sense.

And why wouldn't "English" do that for you? Yorkshire's in England after all.

It's camouflage that we use to keep outsiders out, where they belong. That's why the refineries, chemical plants, and landfill are right up next to the Turnpike and Parkway. The rest of the state is actually quite nice. We've got a huge pine forest, we've got the Delaware water gap (home to those pesky black bears), and we've got miles and miles of nice shoreline for recreation. Plus we've got cities that play host to major concert events.

Not more than they are responsible for the actions of the human race.

Didn't we sticky that?

And stop using white post!

Incidentally, is it you who happens to live in Southampton?

More than have chosen French, Australian, NZ and South African tho....
Perhaps...but i like Ozzies, Newzies, Seeth Africans and I wanted to have a pot-shot at the French. I don't trust those Other-ians...their ways are strange and they have plans.....involving a place near a location adjacent to a vicinity.......

I've heard about this "water gap". Isn't it going to be flooded by a new dam or by the collapse of an old one.....it's been so long since i read "A Walk in the Woods" so I may need to be corrected on this one.

awww come on! haven't used white-text in ages! :-P
yes, that is i... the southampton lad :)
any particular reason for asking?


(oh and it did go at the top of the player info thread but figured it was relavent here)

http://www.frappr.com/nsgeneral :)

Whhoa, creepy. I live within a few miles of another NSer...

Of all the non-English speaking countries out here, France is the only one mentioned in the poll. Right. :rolleyes:
Only because I could think of a good synonym for "french".

In an informal sense they are.
Informally, maybe. It would be like holding the people of Chicago responsible for the Chicago Tribune.

I'm considering applying to Southampton as a university, and wondered whether is it worth doing so really.

And what's wrong with the Chicago Tribune? Seriously...I've never read it so please enlighten me

It's the only non-anglophone country he's ever heard of.

And what's wrong with the Chicago Tribune? Seriously...I've never read it so please enlighten me
:D Nothing, as far as I know. That's an old, old remark made during the Second World War in reply to someone blaming the German people for Hitler. I guess it hasn't aged well.

They're not going to dam it.
I hope not! And did you have to list all those good things?

It's the only non-anglophone country he's ever heard of.
I was going to add Germany but i put NZ in instead. I put in the countries that were most likely to have NS users....so I thought. Besides you list the countries you'd like swapped for something else

:D Nothing, as far as I know. That's an old, old remark made during the Second World War in reply to someone blaming the German people for Hitler. I guess it hasn't aged well.
Of course they're to blame:they elected him!! Unlike the communists the Nazis were elected instead of.....revoluted (worst.....word....ever)

I hope not! And did you have to list all those good things?
I am so going to New Jersey...after Colorado, New York, Montauk, Langley and Roswell. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE

They're not going to dam it.
Huzzah!

I'm a Canadian of Chinese ancestry. w00t! w00t! :)

You could have listed continents. Europe, Africa, South America, etc.
The way you chose your poll options just makes it look like blatant Anglocentrism.

No offense, though. Peace and Bratwurst.

No offense mutually but i hate most European countries (or at least their governmants) so I'd rather not be grouped in with them. Besides that's not so good considering "Africa". South Africa is Africa in internet terms considering the negligible number of users elsewhere.

Peace and Bratwurst? A hippy from Wisconsin?

Reminds of a post on a thread I saw out here recently, someone said all immigrants to the US should learn English and backed up his or her position by saying that if you go abroad, English is taught in the schools so you can usually find someone who speaks it wherever you go .... I wanted to reply but words failed me. In any language.

No offense mutually but i hate most European countries (or at least their governmants) so I'd rather not be grouped in with them.

Yeah? What they done to you?

Yeah. We're not densely populated enough.

Informally you're responsible for whatever your fellow Europeans do. You belong to the same continent, don't you?

Yeah? What they done to you?
The French have viciously persecuted my country through the EU....and have not yet thanked us or the US for saving their ass in WW2 but have consistently spewed venom. All Iwant is one thank you, is that too much! The Germans are France's bitch atm and seem to go along with whatever they say....and cripplingly undercut Britsh industry by using unreasonibly large sunsidies for their workers. The Italians voted out lovable Uncle Silvio and the Spanish got rid of the great Aznar. The Portuguese...obvious.
However i like Holland, Poland & the new Eastern countries, Turkey, Greece etc

I'm Brazilian. But I don't agree with most of the decisions our government makes. Anyway: Why didn't you even mentioned south america there? Tsc, that's just sad. :(

Informally you're responsible for whatever your fellow Europeans do. You belong to the same continent, don't you?
I never said it applied at a continental level did I? And yes i do sometimes feel responsible for what the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys and their allies embarass the rest of Europe with.

Lingua Latina mater nostrarum linguarum est.

Muchas gracias señorita! Mi español.... Tsc, forget about it. I just don't how to speak and write spanish properly. Mas muito obrigado pelas boas vindas! Eu amo a argentina! (Thank you for the "welcome"! I love Argentina!) Parabéns! Congratulations! You didn't win the worldcup, but you got 5th place and we, from the soccer country, got 7th!!! America Latina Unida! Não odeias esse... hã... odio idiota entre nossos países? (Don't you just hate this... hm... stupidy hate between our countries?)! ;)

They'll say thanks when Britain says sorry for "800 years of oppression" in Ireland.;)
Oppression my arse! 90% of that is cooked up in Hollywood by ignorant fools playing to the Irish-American dollar

I'm from Argentina.
And you are simply gorgeous. When Argentina does pretty, it does it very, VERY well.

Stop it! You're giving English people a bad name!

I admit I'm no good at Portuguese, either.
You're right, useless competition between Argentina and Brazil has lead us nowhere. Let's hope the situation will change soon, and cooperate as we should have done from the beginning.

I'm Dutch and proud to be it as well.:cool: hehe..

Learn languages. It's fun, practical and mind-opener. :p
Agreed...nothing teaches you more of your own nation's superiority than by learning the weaknesses of another. I used to learn 3 languages but am now reduced to 2. Damm hippy school policy!

Read Private Eye Magazine's "Down on the Farm" column. That's the tip of the iceberg

Spanish borrowed expressions from a great number of languages. And so did English, to a greater extent.

No, the bacteria's because you're from Argentina. You decided to do a study of higher lifeforms than yourself and as soon as you looked in a microscope: BAM millions of them!

Is there any other kind? Btw who would win godzilla, king kong or the robot from the "intergalactic" video?

Am i the only one to think that Morgallis is getting way out of the line? What about some respect for other people? You're the inferior lifeform here, you're a disgrace for english speakers and everyone else.

And you are a disgrace for spelling, especially use of the apostrophe.

Godzilla, he has fire breath.
The robot has the Beastie Boys inside him though. Fire versus pure cool....hmmm...that's a toughie

And you are a disgrace for spelling, especially use of the apostrophe.

Daddy says report Morgallis. Done.

Sure, I'm always striving for knowledge.

People who believe they're superior because of their place of birth are just plain, and probably lacking other traits that might help you stand out among others.

Well, I shouldn't lose more time, I have to study French for tomorrow.

BOO. I would so be scared if i didn't have a great excuse
