Geographic diversity of this board

I hope this is okay to ask but one of the things I looooooved about IMDb was that it drew people from all over the world. 🌎🌍🌏 I learned about other countries from people who actually lived there which is so much more valuable than reading about it in a textbook. I'm just curious what countries people here are from. No need to give specific information like cities (or states if in the US), just countries. Just curious. 🙂

I'm from the US.

Canada

[–] parkerbot (7869) 24 days ago

Canada.

[–] samoanjoes (55109) 24 days ago

You probably think we're joking, but like the others, I'm Canadian too.

[–] Daft_Munks (4535) 24 days ago

I'm from the UK

I'm from the UK, but I can pretend to be from Canada if it helps.

I live in Los Angeles. Never a dull moment here!

And you have time to be here !

[–] VinceD (8912) 24 days ago

I'm from the US -- Los Angeles -- but I have family in Canada and can pretend to be from there too...

[–] samoanjoes (55109) 24 days ago

We don't claim him!^^^

😂😂 I'm from California and love it here

I am wondering if this board has a disproportionate number of Canadian members, considering the smaller population of Canada. I'm sure there are more Americans here, but it seems like Canadians are overrepresented.

India has a population of 1.4B people and yet there hasn't been a single soccer player of significance. Sometimes the proportion just doesn't add up.

Michael Phelps has won more gold medals than India, Bangladesh and Pakistan together

[–] samoanjoes (55109) 24 days ago

That's pathetic.

[–] PSville (438) 24 days ago

They don't like sports, perhaps they avoid being competitive. No people is obliged to like swimming, boxing or track and field.

[–] Stratego (30127) 24 days ago

They like cricket.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (76104) 24 days ago

Cricket just looks like clumsy baseballl😄

[–] moviechatterer (14956) 24 days ago

Pretty much.
The biggest difference is the match time , somebody thought "hmm I reckon 3 days is about the right amount of time for a game of cricket"

[–] ShogunofYonkers (76104) 24 days ago

A lot of MLB games feel like they go on for days😄

[–] PSville (438) 23 days ago

Yeah, and yoga and some other sports but not the Olympic Games. I don't remember ever seeing an Indian or Gypsy swimmer or cyclist. Browns, blacks don't have the spirit of swimming or bicycling etc. in them.

[–] samoanjoes (55109) 24 days ago

Even a few thousand though? Even Canada has made the World Cup in both female and male competitions.

[–] sslssg (32999) 24 days ago

There's a bit of a joke at my work that when we ask people where they are visiting from, people will always just say their country. Americans though, they will tell you state, or city if it's a big one. These two comments proved that. 🤣🤣🤣

[–] TearofLys (2510) 24 days ago

Where do you work? When going abroad, most Americans will say they are from the U.S., but Texans will say they are from Texas.
