I picked Australia as I am currently living and working here. You did forget to include my home land though... You know that big blob of snow above the USA? Its not another state, no its a country, my home land... C A N A D A.

USA vs Australia... Arch-rivals in sport (I see that on TV all the time) especially when the olympics or the world championships come on...

I can't edit the poll, so I can't add canada to the list... The poll was supposed to be continents, North America and South America (together), Australasia, Asia and Europe... But I kinda typed too fast and thought too little...

Isn't Canada part of North America or is my geography that bad?

Yes, its a part of North America, and not a part of the United States of America.. You are forgiven my son.

Its just that ever since I got to this country and people ask me where I'm from and I tell them Canada they say "Huh? Is that near China?".. Three times and counting I got that same statement. :rolleyes:

I am disgusted with all you people, show some respect to Canada please!
We ARE bigger than you (the USA), you may have more people but we are bigger! So there!:stickout
And no, we are not a frozen wasteland, thats the Arctic you are thinking of :P

Don't get me wrong, the states are great. Canada is just as good though, if not better.

BTW, I did not vote, nor will I. I am not part of any of the options.

04-23-2002, 10:49 PM
you guys are making me feel bad about not having some places up there... I didn't think about those places at the time :bawling:

But anyway, from the results, most people are from the USA (can someone change that to North America so Canadians can vote too) and also, if a moderator is reading this, add Africa to that list :D

Chicken will probably come around soon. I don't know how he is about modifying polls like this, but you could probably send him a PM with what you want changed?

dragonhawk
04-23-2002, 11:15 PM
Chicken is like "GOD" in these forums and he's probably too busy to update the poll here... besides I've only just been promoted from a Newbie, and I'm afraid, I'm just not worthy enough to PM him :rolleyes:

He did for me. Just PM him the post and what you want changed, he should do it.

There are seven continents. If you're going to change USA to North America and include Africa, then don't forget about South America. Anyone here from Antarctica? :D

I've PM'd Chicken and hopefully he'll come around to update the polls...

I heard that Canada is either rainy or snowy this time of year. Melbourne is getting colder, but nothing too unbearable just yet

USA vs Australia... Arch-rivals in sport

Hehe... depends what you mean by sport. There are only three:
- football (for some strange reason a certain people say soccer)
- ice-hockey (the best team didn't reach the finals in SLC btw)
- handball (wow!)

I was actually thinking mainly swimming and athletics... at the olympics.

Football can be confused for Aussie Rules, GridIron, Rugby or Soccer, so I tend to use one of the above instead of "Football" in general...

Never heard of an ice-hockey team from Aust, but I recall Aust coming last in handball in the last olympics (i think)...
