Diversity Day - - - What is your nationality?

[Tyler from Alaska]

I was curious the nationality of most VB programmers. I know most are from US, England, Austrailia and India. If you are from US, you can be American, Asian, African and ...

I am American.

[YoungBuck]

Part Comboy, Part Redneck, ALL-AMERICAN!!!

MadWorm is a very proud Aussie.

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi! Rugby League world champs.

Sorry can't resist this one. And we seem to have the democratic process pretty well sorted. Gotta problem with that? I'm sure we could figure it out in a florida court.

Worlds greatest democracy? Hmmmmm.........

Irish + French on my mothers side, and German on my fathers side...

but I am mostly German + Irish, only a little bit 'o french.....

[paulw]

I have never quite understood how it is that citizens of the USA are American + Whatever and the whatever comes first.

I'm English, Irish, German with some French, Welsh, Scots and Danish thrown in. That takes me back about 40 generations...

But I would always describe myself as English or British.

Cheers,

I'm an Irish American. Both sets of Grandparents were born in Galway Ireland (Bunowen Bay...not sure of the spelling). My parents were born in California...so was I.

[parksie]

Northern descent British and proud of it...

[Sam Finch]

well my ancestors were originaly from the sea, then they crawled out and grew legs. So I guess that makes me Fishish.

here we go, back with the religious posts again


DerFarm

[Joker]

No Black in here? I am the first one.

[kovan]

religous threads?
either lack of food is making me go insane
or you been smoking something

Sorry, Kovan....vague reference to Darwinionism


DerFarm

[kovan]

ahh i see
sam is the criminal.... drawn em, :P

[Sam Finch]

I do apologise, it wasn't meant in a religios / non religious way. hmm, what might I have meant

oh yes, I was talking about my grandfather who got shipwrecked and swam to shore, he crawled out of the sea into France and grew vegetables, (Legs was short for Legumes) He didn't want to be french because that would mean he would have to stop washing so he decided that he was Fishish because that was his favorite food.


Sam pronounces himself world champion at digging himself out of holes and takes a bow.

[barrk]

That was an amazing come-back Sam! You definitely pulled yourself from the fire unscathed. Quite a feat!

Yeah, he's got three of them.

DerFarm

[barrk]

Three feet of what though???

[Sam Finch]

I shall refrain from making remarks about wearing a 3rd sock

[barrk]

I do appreciate that. It was expected though.

Aye, matey, but you'll be singing a DIFFERENT part of the
song soon, and ye will, ye will

[Sophtware]

I was told i am of german/russian decent... but i dont have a real clue as to what i am... i know i am a mix of a bunch of things...that is for sure

[SteveCRM]

Mostly American, Part Scottish.

[HarryW]

Uhh... hmm... well I don't really know. Northern England on my dad's side and Southern England on my mum's side, but ethnically... well my surname is of Scandinavian origin, wherever the Vikings were from. I don't look Scandinavian though.

[Bjwbell]

I'm half American, half Californian.

[Emo]

I'm 95% Bulgarian and 5% Bulgarian-Macedonian!!!
I think Vlatko is Macedonian.

Tyler

Sam

kovan

Not human is right.

[CyberSurfer]

Ah'm Scottish the noo!

Are all yee wee timrous beasties hidin awa fae the micht o' the michty Post Racer? A'm flingin doon ae gauntlet till ee all! Come aheid! A'll tak ye all on at the wan time!

hehe! Try and figure that out! Some Scots actually do speak like that. I personally tend to speak in TLAish though!

Aussie, but basically built of mongrel stock. If it's west of Turkey, I've got it - chuck in a bit of the local indigenous mob into the brew, and a long-ago convict past.

Basically a mixed bag, but living in the best little hum-dinger of a country known to man.

(I've never understood why the poms decided to send their convicts here, instead of the rest of them up and leaving old blighty to the convicts and moving to Oz. Stupid, very stupid)

Californians Rule!!!!!!!

Yah, Yah, Yah....your eyes are brown, too.

[paulw]

I wish the Californians would rule on whether or not the Floridians can keep cocking up the Presidential election!

Who is it going to be?

Do we care?

Will we notice...

Hi,

I am an Indian in India.
..My Happiest Momments -- Relishing the fact we the people of Earth's Largest Democracy have a better way of conducting and Announcing the Election Results than the Supposedly Oldest Democracy.

How come election bulletins became something like a Television Show ?

Son, you don't know the half of it. If you want really
dirty politics, you just can't beat the sheriff's races in
Arkansas.

The job pays 15K/yr....the filing fee is 50K. You work it
out.

DerFarm

[barrk]

Actually....my eyes are hazel.

You don't see Californians giving their electoral votes to that smarmy Bush! Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to take the election anyway. We really need to fix the process. I about had it with people (Americans) who do nothing but complain about how screwed up our country is. They don't lift a finger to fix the problems. You hear them spout about "My country right or wrong". What they either don't know or seem to forget is that the entire quote is "My country, right or wrong. When right to keep it right, when wrong to set it right"!
