We haven't had a "Where are you from?" poll for awhile, so I thought we'd start big first.
I don't expect many entries from Antarctica :)

there's no option for atlantis :furious3:
Atlantis wasn't a continent. It was probably south america. Also I'm from the best part of north america, the part with gay marriage and universal health care.
LATIUM! ... Eh, I mean Sweden.
-
I voted GAH! ~:)
-
I voted Antarctica ~:)
I'm from the 15th greatest state in the greatest country on Earth!
(The first 14 are Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina Florida Alabama mississippi, Arkansas, Texas Arizona New Mexico, Tennessee, New jersey and New York) I live in PA by the way.
I live in SW 19
I live in the cold and rainy part of Europe. Norway, land of Vikings, good stuff and stupid stuff.
Me to ~D
Edit: I live there http://www.home.no/aw89/hjemme.jpg
if you haven't figured out were i'm from by looking at my name. i'm from Holland the land of rain windmills and cheese ~:)
Canada Eh
Argentina
One more vote for Sweden...
...And one for the neigbouring country, Denmark. And, no, it is not the capital of Sweden. ~:)
And, as you might have understood, Norway is NOT the capital of Sweden...
I'm an Oriental, though admittedly my posting times are rather peculiar for one (my work sometimes requires me to keep odd hours).
Now KukriKhan mentioned that "We haven't had a "Where are you from?" poll for awhile". Therefore I gather that we might have had one or more previous similar polls. I tried a brief search but couldn't find it on the forums. Would be nice to have it for comparison of the distribution before and after R:TW (just for the record). ~:)
I live in Norway too. My, we're numerous here. I'll bet most of those voting Europe are Scandinavians.
And Krusader, where are these Vikings you speak of? If you take a peek out your window, you'll see nothing but spoiled brats lounging about while talking on their cellphone non-stop and listening to lame popular music.
Then again, perhaps this is the lesser evil. :P
Dude that's miles out. my tubes a bitch from sw6...Quote:

Well Reval is Tallinn. As for Livonia, it consisted of the modern Estonia and a big part of modern Latvia, but it was Estonia mostly.

Given the size of the combined North and South Americans continents, combined with the wide cultural differences between the two, I would tend to agree that North and South America are in fact two seperate continents.
Although I consider myself a world citizen and wish I was born a pirate ~D , ATM I stick to the old continent. Lived in the Ukraine, Spain, France, Italy and now Ireland, in no particular order BTW.
BTW, Goofball, what differences the continents are not its cultural differences or its size, but their tectonic origin and relative movements with respect to one another.
Canada.........WillwinagainstRussiatonight.
You are correct if you are referring to the geological scientific community's use of the word "continent." Which is why said community uses only six continents: Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, North America, and South America.Quote:

I say tomayto, you say tomahto...
A matter of taste. I prefer the geologic version. And besides, where starts South America? When the USA ends? Thats not even central america there, but the mexicans are much more like the bolivians or uruguayans than north americans in the sense of culture, etc.
And as of size, Asia is much bigger, but noone tried to split it yet.Altho you never know, maybe we will get american Asia in another Bush administration.
Nevermind. Dont really want to get int a political debate, just cheap sarcasm. ~;)
Well if you prefer the geoligical version, then you would agree with me that North and South America are two seperate continents.Quote:

Man, the things I will argue about when I'm bored...
USA! [That is to say, I'm a resident of the continent sometimes referred to as "America" and sometimes referred to as "North America." I propose that the United States be its own continent, separating North and South Americas. And if you say, "No, America is too small for its own continent," I will reply, "But we have more nuclear weapons." ~D *]
Didn't know there were so many Europeans here. :hide:
~:cheers:
*I am kidding, of course.
Nope. That big hole that usually goes in between those tectonic continents goes along the western mexican coast right thru S.Francisco and separates the californian peninsula from the resto of the continent (well, part of it). Thats why the area is so generous in terms of earthquakes.Quote:
Well if you prefer the geoligical version, then you would agree with me that North and South America are two seperate continents.
There is no physical separation between north and south america, except the Panama channel, but thats a different matter altogether.
~D Boy, this is nothing. You should see me in a 13 hour long bus trip.... I was creating my own theory about black holes, and imagining a world where all the words ended with an "r"..... Now, this is classified information.. ~:cool:Quote:

The mighty continent of Britain! We became so fed up with everyone else arguing over their continents we discovered a new one, stole it from the inhabitants, and then went around stealing large pieces of everyone elses continents off of them too! HA!
Then surprise, surprise, everybody had an argument over their own continents and we decided bugger the lot of you, we're just going to stay home where the tea and biscuits are from now on.
I'm from Singapore. The island where the British Empire was utterly beaten by the Japanese in WW2.
It's not often in history you can specifically blame a single, cowardly sack of scum for an entire strategic loss and the misery that followed it. But then along came Percival and wham! He decided to make his moment in history, and made it with a white flag.Quote:
