Why should the Aussies get all the fun? Share your current global position with the rest of the world.

I'm from good ol' Blighty (or England to everyone else)

I'm from the country that thinks it owns the rest of you.....

Thats right, the USA

I am, as much as it saddens me, a resident of the US...

I too am a tea slurping crumpet muncher......

English :P

I'm from the good old North West of the USA.

United States of America, lived here most of my life except for 3 years. Dad was in the military and we lived in Germany for 3 years. I live in Louisiana now (no, I don't have an accent and I'm not a hick either :P ).

What does Blighty mean? I'm mean why call England Blighty?

Why call America 'land of the free? It clearly isn't. Blighty's just our nickname for Britain.

That's not true you! You are always free in AMERIKKKA free to be ignorant, and free to be arrogant.

Right now I'm studying in Hong Kong and I absolutely love it here. Unfortunately, I'm also from America. I hail from New Jersey. I always tell people I meet that I'm from Canada...

i'm in the state of maine. usa. ergh.

Whoa! another maine -iac! nice!

Actually my complete beleif on U$ freedom's is that you are free but that comes at a price. And that we barter and negotiate our freedom back and forth. Although sometimes we get ripped off. Sorry not trying to get phillisophical with you guys but that's how I feel. The U$ motto should be "Freedom at Price!"

I live in the us, new york, and I think that the slogan "home of the free" is just a big form of propaganda that the gov has created.

I'm in Almost Heaven

West (by God) Virginia, USA

Reno

Sweet, Sweet Pennsylvania... its alright here.. Spring is in the air!

Melb, Australia ^^

Go the Kiwi, New Zealand rules. Nearly as much as Australia. Perth, Australia here.

The Puss is from Uk/ The nice bit near the bottom.. Wasnt England called "Blighty" during one of those fantastic and interesting wars we learnt about in our history lessons?You know ,The one where we beat the Germans ?? :roll:

I'm sure I should be able to remember where that word came from... I know that "to catch a blighty one" was army slang, meant suffering an injury which would get you sent home without being too debilitating.

So many things I used to know, now forgotten
I need something to top up my memory, I think

(I'm from England too, although I can't remember if I already posted here)

Yup !! "Blighty" Oxford Concise says " army slang .. England , Home after foreign service " nothing about war wounds tho, !! :wink: "Brit Slang " suggests that the word doesnt sound right unless escaping from the mouth of the upper classes ...(thats posh to me and you ) :!:

*sigh*....I'm from what to my perception is gradually becoming the Police States of America :\

:wink: No I think that "Police State "is slowly becoming a UK phenomena aswell, after all "our Tony" loves George a lot and it seems our government in good old Blighty are introducing an awful lot of US type policies... but thats just politics, yawn ...... Sorry Chymos , you may be from US & I may be from UK but Im sure we came from the same planet originally :?: :twisted:

Lovely.....well, there goes what may be the only option I had for moving to another country.....at least without learning a new language, anyway. Oh well.....

I wouldn't be surprised if we did ;)

LOL, chymos! Look on the bright side! Don't you want your very own GPS ankle bracelet? And you can fill your iPod with uplifting oratory like the May 1 Victory speech and recordings of Millipede Blair saying, "On the other hand...."

Need I mention that you have already learned a second language?
("Y'all come back and see us, now, ya heah!")
Since this is a PG channel, I have cleaned up the spelling a little. :wink: )

Don't forget the economic opportunities! Today's paper brought a report that the airport security people rented a magnetometer for six months for $150,000--when they could have bought an identical one, brand-new, for $6,000.

It may be a specialized field, but if you find a friend who rents magnetometers, you're set for life. :)

There is still one place you can move to without having to learn a new language and have the possibility of freedom. Outer Space. Maybe we'll all move there some day.

Jack . Im sure we will move to outer space one day... But I saw on the news President Bush is planning to have you guys on the moon by 2020, so I dont think their will be any freedom. Lots of laws , a few armies and the IRS probably but no freedom!!lol :wink:

usa, nyc for me!

Canada... the other "only" option, Chymos.

Of course, that's only until you invade us for our water after you're sated on Middle East oil. :wink:

I am from the coldest(emotionally)country...the only country that 90% of the people care about their "personal Space"...can anyone guess(true fact that this country is considered the coldest sometimes most unfriendly)

I, too, am from the US - the midwest, actually. it heartens me to see such animosity towards the US; i know now that at least there's others who feel the same way as i do, you know? I was in some doubt about that, considering most of my neighbors are flag-waving patriots who count 'questioning Dubya's spoken word' a sin *rolls eyes*

I live in the breadbasket of the US...I also live(more specifically) in the Air Capital of the World, good old boring Wichita

Hey jon, im trying real hard to stifle the sarcastic comments that are so obviously invited by the term, Air Capital, since you obviously do not deserve them. But I have to ask. What the hell does Air Capital mean?

Sarnoga

Near NYC

I am from reno nevada and you can't judge every one uf us the same just because we are americans. all of us are different.

8O Okay - if you feel safer lying & telling foreigners you're from Canada that is somewhat pathetic. Just tell them you're from outter space. And as you're impostoring a Canadian - hope you're being genuinely modest & polite *s*. Geezus, nobody tells the truth anymore !!

Britain, Britain, Britain..I hail from this silly isle, home of the Bush lapdog (usually known as the Prime Minister), scones, trooping the colours, red double decker busses and Cadbury's Chocolate.

I'm from peaceful Denmark :)

- No death penalty
- No Life-time jail
- Free School
- Free Hospital
- Lots of nature
- Dunno what it's called but free to say your opinion, or make fun of god and such :)

...And expensive cars >_<

Anyways.. Thumb up for DK :)

Born in London - But now call Brisbane, Australia Home.
