PO7 in England, hello world !
North America here. Oregon to be exact. Home of the free and land of the rain..rain...and more rain. ~:)
Europe here, Germany, the beatiful city of Regensburg.
On the RTW map, that's exactly the river crossing between Iuvavum and Mogontiacum. It's Roman name was Castra Regina, small border town with a fort, then. We still have some old Roman ruins.
Anybody else who can locate his position on the map?
I have been to your city… back in 97-98; the hospitality and warmth of the locals were quite impressive. The food was spectacular even at small pubs and at prices ridiculously low compared to my country.Quote:

Thanks for the replies, all. Yeah, OK, I admit to posting this just to get it back on page 1.~D
I live in that "U.S.A." place.
America - The only place on earth
Sweden, Europe
Hmmm Americans telling they got nukes don't make USA the biggest terrorist country on our planet? I wonder who the real terrorists are...
USA the best place to live in? Naw, UN reportet that USA is on the 8th place on the best country to live in. Norway is on the first place and Australia, Canada and Sweden splitting the second place.
us europeans out number you all!
glory to mother europe!
and kee quite a few countrys have nukes you now..
Phooey to mother Europe ! LOL

Haha...well, the Vatican isn't really that big. I'll bet there are several wealthy families in both America and Europe who possess more land than the Vatican. Also, if you count in the hospitability of the vast, Canadian wilderness...no, I don't think so.Quote:

you could read my location thing but i live in a double hide tailer home in New bloomfield Perry County PA good i hate this county
Sure some people have more land but that wasn't what I meant. What I said was there is enough room in the coutry for every single person to have his own country. Maybe it's a little bigger then the Vatican. That's still like the size of a village. Sure Canada is a little wild but that's because most of the north is still underdeveloped. You just wait 50 years, Canada will be the best nation on Earth. Global warming is on our side too ~;) .Quote:

Yes, several good points there. Especially about economic growth, starting your own company over here is quite difficult, not only because you get taxed to death when you start making movey, but also because there are far less consumers than in f.ex. Canada.Quote:

That place between Germany and Russia that is only famous for its cavalry ;) Right smack in the middle of it.
Know what you mean. I've got a bum myself. Sitting here on my old Yurpean bum right now, actually. Had it for years. Still got a job, though, but then again people have sometimes said it's a "clever" or "smart" bum. Never seen it doing anything particularly impressive myself, but then again I've never seen my fingers fing either.Quote:

USA is much nicer but not when it comes to politicsQuote:

So which is it? More people from 'Europe' have bad r:tw games and more time to waste;
OR: there is just more dementia amoung Europeans, causing them to post more often?
(note: while I may live in the 'US of Empire' , doesn't mean I agree with it, eh?)
"I've never thought of Mexico as even remotely comparable in living standards to either the US or Sweden."
Me either: Sweden has 'IMMENSLY' higher levels of living. Not only is thier government more or less sane, but they take care to keep it so.
Not something one can say for either the USA or Mexico, lol!
-
i wasnt thinkin about living standards when i wrote mexico even though thats what UN did, i think about the climate, culture, landscape, historie, food, women.
you guys are right about about mexico not near 1st place but if we would say traveling places its close(probably needed sleep when i wrote the last post).
but seriously, sweden??. the taxes robbs you of your wealth and the stupid taxes where you have to pay like 3 dollars to get in and out of the city((by car that is, think they have it in london too)just to add another stone in the already full hands of tax payers) even if polls showed that people didnt want it. lots of swedes hate USA, still sweden adopts american culture like theres no tomorrow. its almost as divided here as in the US when it comes to wealth, we have richy rich's clubbing for 1grand every weekend!
dont wanna go on forever(i could), making it short sweden's like living in the US but without guns in every household, without a nice climate, landscape blablabla... doesnt deserve 2nd, canada and australia deserves it
I'm from "America". To be more exact, Appleton, Wisconsin (the Dairy State). Its a small valley community near Green Bay, home of the NFL Packer football team. To a European though, I usually get the best results by saying I am near "Chicago". (Really 200 miles north of it). At Octoberfest I would get gangster imitations with machine guns.

Why, thank you! I'm in Virginia! Lovin' it here. I've always wanted to take a vacation to Europe though.Quote:

Norway..... on a viking expedition, offered my service to the king as the old icelandic viking heroes tended to do when they were bored.
Guess I have to go on some more viking expeditions, maybe abroad. Icelanders have a tough choice of continents as half of it belongs to america and half to europe, split right through the middle ~:confused:
... And another vote for Holland!
I guess that, besides the bigger population, the people in Europe have more free time, more people with a respective income (lefties, ~:) ), and generally a higher education (especially in the east... Did you know that the people in Mongolia are among the best educated of the world??) than we might expect from the US, although Canada saves them a little; resulting in a larger percentage of Europeans in the community than the amount of copies sold.
Pure speculation of course, it might just be that all the Americans are at totalwarcenter or something ~D.
To be quite honest, I do not see the point of threads such as these. What's the point of having these threads when we have the Location portion of profiles (which are promonently displayed on each post).
And in case people are too lazy to look it up, I'm in the country where religion, politics, and NASCAR are one and the same.
I wish I lived in Norway :(
Is this thread still living? Oh my god-desses! ~:eek:
What a life-long thread.
I hail from Eboracum in Britannia (York in England).
Les Pays-Bas: douze points! And that's not for IQ, mind you.
:charge:
Nice to see someone from the Netherlands speaking French
Ca fait toujours plaisir ~D
Living in Canada, but born in France .. any collegues around here? ~:)
I live in New Zealand ... and no that is NOT part of Australia. An Island should have been an option in this poll
Pretty much with you on that kiwitt, but a poll has ... 20 "slots" (I think?) so it can'nt be exhaustive ... still, a shame ~:)Quote:

Yes, I am from the US. I do consider myself a citizen of the world. I have done some genology and I have come to find out that I was greek before Greece, roman before rome, hun before the Huns, Viking before and during the Viking perios, anglo-saxon/norman before they were anglo-saxon/norman, scot before scottish, english before England and most of all american before america was even birthed. With that kind of heritage (which most of the world shares) how can I not think of myself as a citizen of the world. I have visited a lot of those countries. ~:)
im from good ole North Carolina, land of nascar, white trsh and porchmonkies ~D
Jersey Channel Islands in the UK
I'm with Kiwitt - literally, New Zealand.
Na.
There's a guy from Guernsey who posts here often. You guys would make a good couple. ~;)Quote:
