Poll: Where are you from?

[Broady Brio]

I was born many eons ago in a magical place, known as;

Cambridge, England. And no, I don't go to Cambridge University.

 

[Lieju]

I'm from Finland.

as for the poll-options, I would have separated Britain as it's own choice, because I'd like to know how big part of Europeans here they represent. (This being a forum for English-speakers)

 

[AnarchistFish]

You put "Australia" but then put all European countries together? hmmm...
Culturally, Europe varies immensely and its overall population is immense.

So what would your 8 poll options have been? I'm curious.

Probably would've put,
Western Europe (inc. Scandinavia, divided along the Eastern borders of Germany, Austria and Italy)
Eastern Europe
Asia (inc. Middle East)
Oceania
North and Central America (excluding USA)
USA
South America
Africa

Since the USA takes up such a high proportion of internet users I guess it's fair to give it its own option, although there are a lot of users from Western European countries so that would probably still top it by quite a bit. It'd be harder to divide it any more really.

Russia is divided in two. Part of it is in Europe and the majority is in Asia, but the majority of the actual population is in the European part. Same technically goes for Turkey (in so far as being split between the two continents).

Personally I'm half English, half French, so I don't particularly mind calling myself "European".

I'm from Washington state in America. Yes, We get lots of rain (I think its raining now actually) and there are a lot of hipsters. the city I live in is the original Vancouver, so screw you you name stealing Canadians. I'd rather say I was from the proud country of Cascadia, but unfortunately, seceding is frowned upon in the US.

I'm from Washington state in America. No, we don't get lots of rain, its a desert. Also I support The secession of Cascadia then we can seceding from you and form Columbia.

Spokanite here, Inland Empire FTW! We'll form our own nation, then conquer you all! Basin, highlands, and coastal folks are cool, but I have a solution for all the rain-drenched Seattle hipsters and Olympia hippies... one might say it will be "final"...

But seriously, that's a cool story about the rain, bro. We just get 3' dumps of snow at a time and shrug it off like nothing. Though, it is probably a good thing the whole West side shuts down at 2", I've seen how they "drive" in snow.

Okay, okay, honestly, pretty cool state all-around. I was born in the basin, grew up in Olympia, have lots of friends in Seattle, and now live in Spokane; good places and good people all-around.

As for the "Vancouver" name stealing: it isn't that one "stole" from the other, it's that both were named after the Captain of the British Royal Navy that explored the Pacific coast. So really, you both "stole" the name of an Englishman (he was actually English, I'm not just equating "British" with "English" here). Rather, you both honor him.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

From the west midlands in England in a place that one day aspires to be a pimple on the ass of the universe.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I'm from UHMERICUH!

Down in Arizona. As of late, I've been getting very attracted to the idea of moving to England. I'd like a change of scenery (as in attractive English accents)

Me too! I'm beginning to see more people from this lovely (not really) state, and it's kinda making me happy, hooray for solidarity!

 

[Tiger Sora]

Canada. Where the ice is abit colder and some water won't freeze cause it don't take shit from the weather.

 

[Spygon]

I am British from the south west of England to be percise.Seems the op is from the USA as he can not keep his own country in the continent where everybody else calls it.

 

[Tazzy da Devil]

I'm from just outside of Melbourne, Australia.

 

[Nisselue]

I'm from Wales in the UK, don't group us all as Europe.

Then i am very curious as to what continent you think you live in?

 

[Chalacachaca]

Ea che guey, ¿vos sabeis que es un "escapista"?

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

United States of New Jersey here!
Best state in the whole country.....

 

[ParadiseOnceLost]

United states more specifically Chicago [footnote] well not techincally I live in a suburb but I always say Chicago. I just say Chicago because nobody has ever heard of my home town and I tire of having to give a geography lesson every time someone asks where I am from.[/footnote]

 

[Matt King]

excuse me, but i'm from england. i know it is part of Europe but i think we deserve our own option

Why? Nobody else in Europe gets their own option, and there's too many countries in Europe to list them all.

It was a fucking joke -__-

 

[Andothul]

Wisconsin! The cheesiest state in the Union and i mean that figuratively and literally.

 

[The Crazy Legs]

Well, seeing as how we're so unpopular here due to the fact that we have our own option instead of being stuck with a continent, I guess I really shouldn't--

A-MER-I-CUH!!!

... Sorry (I'm not really). I find it kind of odd that America has its own option. Guess I'm not alone.

To answer the real question, I'm from the wonder land of Colorado. Which is known for snowing. And skiing. And Four Corners. And it's not snowing. And I can't ski. And I live in central Colorado, which is such a long drive from Four Corners. I kind of wish that I didn't live here. Everyone's so biased about everything. And no matter how many times I play "Why Can't We Be Friends?", it only gets worse.

Ah, America. Where the Klu Klux Klan can run rampant and Nazis are allowed freedom of speech. F*** the Bill of Rights.

 

[therandombear]

Norway....which technically is Scandinavia. :3c

 

[runnernda]

I'm from the U.S. A suburb of Philadelphia, PA. Or as I refer to it, Suburbadelphia.

 

[Gurgy]

Another one of those Washington State folks. And, yes, it is currently raining. D;
