This is a very interesting thread. Thanks for starting it firmbeliever! I think that it would be interesting to see how much diversity we have here.

On a site note, I would have split North and South America.

I've been to Australia for 2 months and I could easily say that you Aussies are the same as your cousins all the way in UK even though you are so far apart.

But you're not the same. Just like Americans, Mexicans, Canadians, Brazilians, Argentinans, Chilians, and any other American country in central or south America are not the same.

But I'm sure you knew that :P

Define winning? because if this is an indicator as to where a percentage of all the members are from, and America has the majority by far, then that means the same percentage of really silly questions and people we get here are from the continent of America and really do you consider that to be 'winning' :D

Stickies are for information that is pertinent to a specific forum. Usually a thread is made a sticky because the info in the thread answers many of the questions usually posted in that forum.

This is a great thread, but, as a poll, for fun, it's not really something that would help anyone.

As for the thread being open for a long time. It will either last until 1500 posts or until the mods close it.

That's what I thought. That's why I mentioned that it's a "stretch".

40 votes so far, not bad.

Just when I thought I knew, someone changed the rules.

There can be 4 to 7 continents depending on where you were. i.e. where you were taught.

Continent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent)

I give up! Where am I?

Ooh! I forgot Antarctica,
We were taught in school that was a continent.


EDIT::
Anyone from Antarctica?

I wish

I still would have split North and South America.

Edit: Antarctica ---- I was wondering where that goes too. I guess Oceania.

How many chose not to vote after reading that their spelling, grammar and punctuation were a sign of intelligence or attitude? I would have chosen not to vote if math had been part of the criticizm.

Can I have some barbecue sauce to go with my politically incorrect foot now, please? Ooops! That should have been "may I." Now I'm worried that the quotation marks are wrongly placed...

Unfortunately, this thread is now old and archived and not generally visible on the daily listings, unless someone happens to visit the forum topic area where it's located, or is notified that there's activity on it because they've already posted on it.

I agree! A little over 50 votes really wasn't very many!

Perhaps a new thread asking the same question should be started?

Here's another "bump", then.

Here also, are some words and sentences to help to draw people to it when they do searches on the Internet.

Where in the world are you?

Finding your place in the world.

World geography.

People of the Earth.

Nations united.

Separate, yet united on the planet Earth.
