~G~ Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'm not surprised at the Aussie and Brits votes but I am surprised at the USA vote running second. Apart from the Alamo Bar in soi 8 and Tonys in Walking street I rarely run into them anywhere in Pattaya or anywhere else In Thailand. The most common groups I run into (young and old) are still Brits, Aussies and Germans. So where you Americans hang out? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This poll asks where the members are from, not if they live in LOS...... I would guess most members here do not live in LOS anyway. Time for another poll ? Go ahead and post it - replies I got to this pole included accusations of being nosy and/or a troll - not risking my neck again! just my 2 satangPS : if there would be such a poll, do not forget to mention Outermongolia. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Outermongolia? Is that in Belgium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alohasiam Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 This is a very boring question. Since this is an all English site naturally there will be lots more people from English speaking countires. You will get a completely diffrent survey if this is a German sites. English is an international language but most people still learn it as 2nd or 3rd language and most people around the world still feel to lazy to participate in a language that is 2nd or 3rd to you.

Shamrock Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 We must remember that most mercans haven't got the hang of a computer yet. So maybe this poll is not representative. But I'm not one to generalise lol No, Americans just invented it and gave it to the world. It was a Brit who adapted the www to it so you could cast slurs. I would not be one to generalize though. Slag off on Americans through cyberspace if you want. It seems to be in style these days, as I'm sure they've well noticed all the "sweetness" coming from their "friends" from "Ole Blighty". I don't have time for it though. Bye Shamrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
