meatmissile 0 #51 February 3, 2004 QuoteReally, I'm not naive enough to assume everyone on here lives in the US especially when the webmaster doesn't even live in the US anymore. If by the webmaster you mean Sangiro, as far as I can tell, he was born and raised in South Africa, and has never lived in the US. I think he was there for a longish visit recently -- ZZZzzzz....

[little smiley with eyes rolling backwards] Apologies if I'm winding you up, I'm just trying to raise awareness. It's in everyone's interest.

Vallerina 2 #54 February 3, 2004 QuoteI'm just trying to raise awareness. Awareness of what? That there are people on here who aren't from the US? Yes, I know that. Heck, I even im with Remster sometimes so that I can feel better about myself. My point is that not all polls are made for everybody on here. If I posted about which form of oral contraception people take, I wouldn't expect men to answer. If I made a poll about penis length, I wouldn't expect women to answer. Not every poll is for everybody. I don't think that's a big deal.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meatmissile 0 #55 February 3, 2004 QuoteIf I made a poll about penis length, I wouldn't expect women to answer. I have no preference as far as penis length is concerned, so as a man I would also not participate in such a poll. (I would assume that penis length should be more relevant to women than to men ) I do take an interest in what oral contraceptive the woman in my life takes, some are better than others, and I would want to make sure she has the best. So both your examples don't work for me. -- ZZZzzzz.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #58 February 4, 2004 QuoteWhen I read the title of your poll, I naturally assumed it to be about South Africa, thus I wasted my time opening it. Yeah cause it's not like you would get car jacked while driving a tank in Jo'berg or anything..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larry 0 #59 February 4, 2004 This is not a flame toward Valerie. I'm not trying to say what her intentions were/were not. But it is so true that most Americans think of the US as the only real country. Every were else is just something they see on the news or go vacationing to.“Now click your heels together 3 times so you can return to Kansas to live in poverty with your teetotaling, dirt farming aunt and uncle!” paraphrased Prof. Farnsworth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damion75 0 #64 February 4, 2004 Ok - here goes. (putting on some flameproof clothing!) I'll start by saying that I like the US - its like the UK, just needs a couple of thousand years of culture and we'll be there! But I couldnt let the post above ride! Sorry Jeffrey. QuoteThe only time I was ever out of the U.S. was when I went to England for a semester as a senior in college. Yes, I had a good time, but the English way of life is not for me. I remember thinking that everything was sort of like back home in America, but not quite as good. Please!! saying that our cars and roads are not as good!! Try looking round the US at which cars are seen as desirable... Jaguars, Aston Martins, Range Rovers? or Fords and Chryslers? and thats not even mentioning the BMWs and European stuff... As for dissing our amenities - perhaps its because we like doing somethings for ourselves, cooking proper food instead of microwaing etc... maybe this explains why we are not the most obese nation on Earth... just a thought! For me, what I think makes America the indisputable best country in the world is no other country takes freedom and rights so seriously and tries as hard to guarantee them. Yes, we have had problems. Yes, at our inception we did have slavery. Yes, we took a long time to guarantee blacks equal rights. But there is no other country with a Constitution anything close to ours, guaranteeing SO much freedom to the people. This from a guy living in one of the most racist nations that exist... Cover it up with all the politically correct stuff you like, truth is you guys still care about colour... hmmm - ceased to be an issue in most of Europe some time ago! You are right about the cameras everywhere, but so what? the only people who should be worried about it are the criminals... although our criminal justice system is pretty pump right now - needs fixing. Freedom? As long as it is your own... does the policy of Isolationism mean anything to you? Most of the world would be under the Nazi heel today if it weren't the UK - not the US! You guys were about 2 years late to save the world!! Anyway, I think that the idea of a greates nation is flawed. Everyone likes their own because it is a comfort zone, but hey, get out of there and you never know what you might find!! Peace! Frank.*************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.
