papo2228, you really do need to read through this whole thread. If you do, you'll notice that Sue said in the fourth post that she was an export, and it's been mentioned throughout the whole thread that this was a light-hearted poll. There's no need to come on here with your guns blazing. The people on this site are very friendly and there's a lot of joking going on. By your own post you said what matters is quality and not quantity. I couldn't agree with you more. The people here on FunTrivia are some of the best people you'll ever run across on the web.

papo, I think you are taking this matter a bit too personal. I'm from Argentina as well and I don't see anything wrong with the way the poll was laid out. Sue explained the reason why there is a "rest of the world" category, which to me, makes sense. No one is saying Latin America or Africa or Asia are less important just because there's not a specific category for these places. If you take a look at this place, you will notice that it makes no difference where you come from, everyone is treated with the same amount of respect and attention.

If I hurt someone´ s feelings I humbly apologize. That wasn´ t my intention. I am fully aware that most people in this Trivia are excellent but as Malvolio, a Shakespearean character, I take things concerning my country seriously.
Thank you, minkpenny, for taking the trouble to write about the characteristics of the forum.
Once again I am truly sorry.

Although it it off topic I will respond about Why the Channel Islands are British and not French.

To quote from the BBC website "When King Philippe of France beat King John of England to take the Dutchy of Normandy, Jersey had a decision to make, stick with John or give Philippe a try." This was in 1204. The islands have remained British.

I grew up in the US but have lived in Israel for more than half my life, so I voted for "rest of the world". I suspect that many people have similar stories. janet

I "voted" now , what i was surprised to see is how many Brittish there is compared to the rest off Europa. I can understand why America is topping , it IS a big country , but the English population compared to the rest off Europe....i guess this means that FunTrivia is more popular there then amongst the rest off us Europeans

Yes, it is obviously a language thing, with the site being in English, even if most of it is American English!

You right Sue i acctually diddnt think off the language there

Accent? We don't have an accent

I noticed that when my mom brought a co-worker from Canada over for dinner that when she said "Eh" it was almost forced. Like she thought we expected to hear it. It seemed strange, like a Texan cringing while saying "Ya'll".

My vote's in for America! I'm surprised that there are more Aussies than Canadians.

population in australia is 20 million im glad that there are 9 percent of us partaking in this poll the rest might be eating pavlova.

maybe if your relatives had stolen a loaf of bread in 1788,they would of got a free trip to sydney and you would of been part of history.

My relatives did steal bread back then but unfortunately for me thay got away with it.

nobody stole a loaf of bread in my family in 1788 .
