Where In The World...
« on: November 05, 2010, 02:04:17 PM »
Where In The World...

Just curious to get an idea of the where Amiga.org members are in the world. I of course couldn't put each country here separately, so instead I've just put them under a category that hopefully covers just about everyone. :)

Heck I've even had to lump Scotland in with the UK, quite a hard choice to make that one was... :)

Also the list is not a league table, so don't be offended at your position on the table it was purely random... :)

1) UK & Eire
2) Scandinavia
3) Europe
4) North America
5) South America
6) Australia & New Zealand
7) Asia & The Middle East
8) Africa North & South
9) The Poles North & South !
10) Somewhere Else...

Hmm... Spain is in theory part of Europe... So I guess I'm at Europe, but I don't believe It too much...

For me UK is a lot more European than Spain...

I know, but we do allow for the American education system here, and therefore let you off with that line of thinking... :)

That's why we don't lump Americans & Canadians together, a far better education system here.... ;)

It's bad enough for me having to lump Scotland in with the UK, but even I wouldn't go as far a lumping in the UK with Europe. Thats why we still use £s and not Euros, were mostly a bunch of nationalistic anti Euro sceptics here... :biglaugh:

(but we still love our European comrades :))

I never consider my European, so thanks for great poll choices Franko.

Yeah this £ and Euro will go on for years - we don't have even have the euro symbol on our keyboards thank god *spits*.

I really hope the EU fails - we are better off as separate countries looking after our own affairs.  Each EU member contributions billions (yes, billions) each year to be a member and for what in return?  So that MEPs can send their own children to private schools in Brussels, so that Bananas are straighter than straighter and greengrocers display their goods in metric, health and safety bs, prisoners being kept in hotels... so immoral...

Rant over, please continue as you were. >.>

@djrikki
I agree with you, EU is a real shit... but Europe It's not EU, at least for me...
Switzerland is part of Europe, and It's not in the EU. And I wish to be Swiss...
When I talk about being European, I mean a way of life.

The general education system here is not good, and it is getting worse, but we still have several of the top higher education and research institutions in the world.  And it's so much easier to get your Ph.D. in the UK than here in the US -- it's really quite an astonishing difference in the physical sciences!  I think that's true for the rest of Europe too.  ;-)
