After noticing so many threads entitled 'For American/Australian/British... only', I wanted to see how useless/effective the title was in only attracting the specified nationality.

Well, judging from the responses so far (however few they might have been), it seems that it is an effective method of screening for nationalities (much to my suprise).
Oh well, we live and learn. :)
I wonder how many people have had a look in and saw what this thread was about and left without voting? because they weren't From the UK...
Who would do a thing like that?
That would be just plane rude! :p
Yep RUDE!!
I would definatly post/vote in a "aussie" thread etc :D:p
I'm the only American who voted.... Where is everybody? :confused:
I'm in Canada, but beyond all that I'm really nosey, so thats why I thought I'd pop in and see whats hapenning.

ummmmmmmmmmm Dennis has the same avitari as Mike......ummmmmm, two smilies f***ing.......ummmmmmmmmm :eek: ITS THEIR HOME MOVIE!!!!!! :p
denniswren,
The rest of the American's are obviously obeying the thread title and not reading the thread.
SurfDemon,
As there are now two votes for "N. & S. America", I can only assume that is what you voted for. But, isn't Canada in the CommonWealth?
Doh!Quote:

You're quite right, sorry Canucks!

Hang on, Do Americans know how to vote? They seemed to have great problems the last time they were asked! I think my monitor might be slightly dimpled.
Maybe we should have a few recounts before we announce the final decision.:p
Sorry Katie, but it was too good an opportunity to miss;)

Americans are idiots.. That's why I prefer to be called German or Irish..... but I'm like 4th generation German, and 4th or 5th Generation Irish... :eek: :(
And I'm a 75th generation saxon! :D
Dennis, it's a tough choice but i would go for Irish if anything. I think more people hate the germans (or krauts)more than they hate the Americans and the Irish are reportedly dumb, so it's the lesser of three evils.
Is there a nation that everyone likes?
I've never heard a bad word said against Kiwi's?
SD
What we're looking for here is a nation that's never done anything bad to anyone, ever.Quote:

So basically, that leaves either very new, young countries that haven't had a chance to p**s anyone off yet or else very old countries that have completely wiped out all it's former enemies so long ago that no one else remembers.
Canada's pretty inoffensive as well!
I was going to say iceland, but then I remembered that they were responsible for Biork!!
SD
Canada is pretty in-offensive, I'll admit. But I do know some people who hate canadians. I won't go into why but just be warned!
Iceland won't do either. Just ask any fisherman in the UK and they'll tell you about the "cod wars" that raged between Iclandic and British fishermen! Bjork doesn't really help matters either, does she? :rolleyes:
Yeah, I suppose they are responsible for William Shatner, so I can understand that!Quote:

The Irish may be traditionally dim, but they provide
1) endless amusement
2) potatoes
3) guinness.
gets my vote every time.
Anyway, I've got to stick up for them, my girlfriends family is irish.
My wifes Irish, and I'm the first to slag them :)Quote:

You haven't been listenning to Jethro or Beacon!! May I suggest Portugal as an in-offensive country. I can't think of any reason otherwise...Quote:

Didn't the portugese conquer most of S. America, and I'm sure the desendents of the Aztecs are still a little bit put out by that!
SD
well maybe, but they are about the only people I can think who haven't pissed anyone off in my lifetime.
Should have considered Australia rather than just "part of the commonwealth"

Actually Canada and NZ are both viewed as being pretty non-offensive too everyone. Am working had on Australian not falling into the same category.
Was going to vote...but there is no Australian option....considering the number of Poms we have around the place, this has probably disenfranchised 10% of the English ex-pat population. Simon every thought about a political career in Florida?
Actually quite a few Yanks and Canadians are now living here...but that's a little secret we like to keep under our hats cause generally they've pretty good guys and gals. LA Dave that does not include you.....l will repeat for your edification:
You are still a big girls blouse
Sorry that is a private little joke. LA was sent to the bottle shop to get a bottle of whisky and returned with *shudder* bourban. Which as ever one knows is a girly drink best left to the Americans.
P.S You were warned Dave, have tickets to go see the Swans this weekend. Now repeat after me "Grandmothers tooth!" (He's in training). Incidentially we are going with an America who hails from Sioux City???????? Where the hell is that, probably bum-wipe Idaho or somewhere.
Well, you may have noticed that I didn't include any individual countries outside of Britain. This wasn't a nationality poll, rather a test to assess the effectiveness of having a 'nationality request' in the thread title.Quote:

All in all though, it's hard to make a judgement on the results.
Initially it was doing ok with only english (or so they claimed) people voting. Then N.America woke up and added a few votes themselves. But with at least one Canadian fogetting they were in the common wealth and the Australians not voting because they were offended at not finding an 'Australia' option, the final results are perhaps, to say the least, inconclusive.
Oh well. :rolleyes:
Close.......it's in Iowa!Quote:

Love wired world of sports piss take!
As for New Zealand bieng inoffensive.
Ha i'd speak to a few sheep before you say that!
I would vote Australian as the most inofensive coz if you disagree your disgreeing with every other bloody country. Why?
Coz half of every countries population have moved here!.:p
OR maybe Burkina faso!
I was just wondering.... :confused: Would India still be considered as part of the Commonwealth...?
:confused: :D :D :D :( :o :p :mad: :confused:Quote:

They still consider South Africa as part of the Commonwealth, and lets face it they are a Republic.
