Nationality Poll

[toptuan]

This poll is at the request/idea of TV posters on another thread. Thanks for your input.

P.S. "Central European" is a misnomer, and can't be edited once the poll is launched, sorry. By that I mean countries of the old Soviet Block, east and south of Russia (Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakstan, Uzebekistan, Turkmenistan, etc.) Eastern European would be the old Soviet Bloc countries west of Russa: Hungary, Albania, Latvia, etc. My apologies to any major immigrant groups I missed (like Indians!).

Just as an aside......

When you ask most people from the USA where they are from, and they answer America, this can be fighting words in parts of South America & Central and North America.

In Mexico, they will quickly point out that they are American's also, just not from the USA, and if you correct yourself by saying from the United States, they quickly point out that the official name of Mexico is Estados Unidos de Mexico (United States of Mexico).

D#mned if you do, d#mned if you don't.

However, since we're in Thailand, and most Thai identify "American" with USA'ers (gosh, that sounds odd), my guilt is absolved.

Any chance of adding Ireland into the list of countries? I'm sure that there are a few of us out there...

How many Chinese, Korean, other Asian (?) are likely to be reading a forum or taking part in a survey conducted in western typescript? The playing field is a bit tilted to say the least, sorry it's an interesting topic, but it's flawed as a survey.

[Sing_Sling]

Umm, I have several nationalities . . . but can only choose one option. (serious.)

Sing Sling is 'beefed up' 'cos he's been talking to Rambo in the 'kicking crap out of farangs' forum.

[Robski]

Sorry I just clicked, this survey is for 'TV' members only. I'm outa here.

[suegha]

I'm from Ireland and there are several of 'us' on tv. It sould have been on the poll. However, it's impossible to list all (every) nationalities!

Actually I would expect the majority to be from the UK. After all, who in their right mind would want to live in a dreary country like that.

Nothing hurts more than the truth.

Won't be many natives left there soon.

I was brought up by wolves in a cave south of the big river, please add this option to the poll.

While we are on the subject of countries, I should note that America is not a democracy any longer, from hence forth it shall be known as a Chucktatorship.

An interesting fact about Australia that one of my fans pointed out... "If tapped, a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick could power the country of Australia for 44 minutes."

I hope this clears a few things up

Oh, you mean the Bronx, NYC?

[Chuck_Norris]

That would be a fair description.

[kayo]

Sorry, never heard of New Zealand or Ireland. Are they new countries?

Oh! I wouldn't worry... They are just a couple of our Colonies...

We may give them away, if we can find anybody who would want them...

BTW...

Where's Thailand on this list... Quite a few peeps from LOS???

[spieke]

No vote as far as I'm concerned.

I'm from Belgium (Flemish), and I expect to be able to vote for this country OR, and more approperiate in my opinion, for Belgium as a member of the E.C. (25 countrys).

Seeing particulary the Dutch to be able to vote for Holland, and I beeing expected to vote "Western European - Other" made me make my first TV post.

The Dutch (some) will understand why.
