I'm truly sorry about the other poll, and I wanted to start it over. I hope everyone will have enough patience to vote again. Hopefully, this time I can cover everyone.

Well, I cannot exactly vote on this poll because New Zealand, or even South Pacific, is not listed on this poll.

Yep, I am a Kiwi

New Zealand.

Cant vote.

Just to cement what has been said...
New Zealand can't vote.

I voted for Asia (other), because that's probably the closest to where I am.

<-----

Awesome. Straight away you get a bunch of us you missed out.


New Zealand, FTW.

Well, I've got a poll option, but I will be interested to see how the other nations in the UK vote. Can they bring themselves to say they're English, or will they say Europe, and distort the results? :p

It would be funnier if Australia was listed by NZ nor the region as a whole was listed... Quite funny.

Living in Pennsylvania...unfortunately. I need to get out of here...somewhere overseas...or at least a different state.

Australian, can't vote :P

One wonders why the OP put up places like Africa, China, Japan, and the Middle East instead of Oceania...where MANY more English-speaking people live.

o.O

It seems we live in the same state, Ruff. Completely different sides, but same state nonetheless.

what is this England you speak of? Is that the mythical land where Excalibur lies?:p

I myself come from Northamptonshire the land of shoes (though all the factories have closed down and its near Milton Keynes)

I was a little surprised, myself. *nods*

I'm guessing you're near Pittsburgh?

Aye. 'Bout an hour outside.

I'm from Michigan, but I currently live in France.

Does England count as Britain then?

I’m putting European.

I'm from Florida.:)

What do you mean 'distort' the results? It's the honest answer. I'm going for Yurp.

It’s nothing to do with national pride or whatever, I would have voted UK or Britain if the option was available. But saying I’m fro England is just plain wrong. Like accepting USA as the same as Canada.

...not quite...considering the USA and Canada have no real connection, as opposed to Scotland and England, which do.

They may be politically joined, but geographically they are two separate countries. You wouldn’t get English or Welsh people voting for Scotland as their place of birth, now would you?

The country is called the United Kingdom, not England. It's just a matter of fact.

Dear me, I seem to have come off as some rabid Scottish nationalist.....

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying you lived in "England," I was just saying that the relationship between England and Scotland, i.e. the UK, is much different than the relationship between Canada and America.

You, my friend, are indeed right. My gross simplification turned out, as most gross simplifications tend to do, to be wrong and useless.

As a Scot, I’m genetically predispositioned to start spitting blood when the word 'England' crops up. :D

Don’t get me started on some short-arse Australian raping history :D

And I’m not even a nationalist! You should meet some SNP nutters. Or in fact, you shouldn't.

Asia (other) :mad:

Can't believe Ireland didn't get a guernsey either.

This poll is once again made of fail.

Just stop asking where we're from, there's a member profiles thread, read that!

Reading is also made of fail.

Fucking timewarps....

Hey Angels World, if you don't want your next poll taking on water from the moment it's launched, give some thought to the hour you post it.

If you look at who's on when, you could time it to get some yankee flag-waving at the start of your thread before it is fairly sunk on the high seas. :p

(-_-)

You missed an entire continent. Actually two, but one is virtually uninhabited.

<- location.

Currently in Ottawa, Ontario, Canda, North America

I spent a lot of time in the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada up to September 2005 (When I came here), though.

With luck I will move around a bit more in the future, hopefully to either the Middle East, China, or South Korea. Que sera, sera; for now I like Ottawa.

Here we go again.

BWO's third rule of NSG: any poll asking where people are from will inevitable lead to heated discussion about the correct number of continents.

still from jersey.

Asia (other) :mad:

Can't believe Ireland didn't get a guernsey either.

a guernsey? what is this? i know of guernsey woolen sweaters and the piddly little island 30-odd miles off the coast of jersey, but how does ireland get a guernsey?

Born in the USA, grew up overseas, living in the USA now.

*looks at poll*
*reads thread*
*giggles*

Don't take it too badly. At least you're learning some valuable things about NSG, like the fact that no "Where are you from?" thread ever goes off without a significant hitch, or that it's apparently impossible to include everybody in a 10-option poll, or that it's vital to never ever confuse England with Great Britain, or that there are more New Zealanders on the internet than you'd think.

Ah to be young again.

i'll drink Tea to that

Oh it ain't that bad. It'll be better when we have a better administration in this state. Rendell is no Tom Ridge or Bob Casey (not to be confused with his son)

Aye. 'Bout an hour outside.

I"m not that far from the Steel City myself. Well right now I am for I am at school but normally I'm not :D

He's on the weird side of the state.

HAHA!! I'm sure Eastern PA will say the same of their Western counterparts.

Fithadelphia :D

My gf, who is from Philly, probably will agree with you there. Heck, my former roommate probably will too :D

Har Har. Yankees suck. They haven't won a series since 2000 and I'm hoping it stays that way for awhile. Oh you mean American flag-waving. Seems the New Zealanders have cornored the market right now :D

...or for that matter with the United Kingdom. Now you got me. There's a difference? <.<

Oh, duh, wait: you meant not to confuse England with the UK, not not to confuse GB with the UK, right? Whew. *wipes sweat of embarrassment off brow*

Great Britain and the United Kingdom are different.

Note the full name: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Great Britain is England, Scotland, and Wales (and possibly the islands like Jersey, Guernsey, Man, Wight, and whatnot). The United Kingdom is all that plus Northern Ireland.

Because we took you off the mass message list.

The one to learn the art of Hari-Kari?

I'm sorry. I thought I listed all the contenints. But I guess I left out one.

What's it like in New Zealand?

One wonders why the OP put up places like Africa, China, Japan, and the Middle East instead of Oceania...where MANY more English-speaking people live.

Somehow, I thought I covered everyone. If I'd left out those places, then sure as the world, someone from there wouldn't have been able to vote.

Unfortunately, I'm not the best at geography. Which contenint is Australia located on? Or is it one? *sighs at messing up again*

Ah to be young again.

*laughs* Thank you. You made me smile again. And you're definitely right. I am learning, and I'll never do this again! ... Lol.

I'm from Michigan, but I currently live in France.

You've been following me!

... Hmm. Looks like I replied to the wrong quote. ... Wish I knew how to do that. *laughs at the world of mistakes I keep making all of a sudden* ... Have to learn how to multi-quote.

It is one. Don't believe anyone who says otherwise.

When's the best time? I'm still fairly green around here.

Trying not to quote this time.

Thanks for the info. I was always confused by the UK, and never new who all belonged to it.

yep, the channel islands are part of great britain. but not part of the british isles. the other islands are part of both. but the channel islands and the isle of man are not part of the UK. i really think britain needs to get a common policy on its smaller islands.
