Subject: Which country are you from?
Date Posted: July 28 2005 at 20:19
Which country are you from??? I had to cram a little bit in order to fit everything in, sorry if your country wasn't mentioned directly.
edit: could a moderator please group germany, licht., austria, swiss., lux., belgium and holland together, and make a new choice of U.S.A/canada.....it would be highly appreciated!

edit: awwwww sh*t...U.S/Canada were supposed to be the first choice.
I also made that mistake in my first poll. You can try to PM maani to see if there's something he can do to fix that and reset the poll ...

I have to be honest, I'm also rather uneasy about the first grouping, where you include us in with the Welsh...

No offense to the Americanos (I have friends and relatives there), but I'm sort of glad you left out my country, if it meant grouping it in with the U.S. -- too many people over Europe way seem to think Canada & the U.S. are the same thing, but the countries are very different, in many fundamental ways.
I'm from St. John's, the capital of Canada's eastern-most province -- the island of Newfoundland, BTW.

"Pick our fill of punk weed and smoke it till we bleed, that's all we'll need
While sailing back in morning light, we'll wash our teeth in the sea
And when the day gets really bright, we'll go to sea drinking tea
So we'll sail away for just one day to the land where the punk weed grows
Won't need any money, just fingers and your toes
And when it's dark our boat will park on a land of warm and green
Pick our fill of punk weed and smoke it till we bleed, that's all we'll need"

This poll is funny... in one single line (Latin America) we have 18 countries, 20 million square km and 500 million inhabitants.
Nevermind, when visiting us people receive MUCH MORE than they looked for. Latin America is like prog - full of good surprises.

years, and I'd be happy to move back (if only I could learn enough
