Since it was not mentioned until the fourth page, I think that it is about as much discrimination as forgetting about introducing one person out of a hundred and some when he comes in a half-hour after something has started (note that I didn't say late, since anything is likely to have started a half-hour or more late except a military function). |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2667 Joined: 18 Dec 2007  | Damn I could have sworn I posted in here but now I can't find it. Ohwell I'm from AUS. Its suprising how many Aussies are on this website. I'va allways had a belief that Aussie Gamers are more mature then American gamers and I think this kind off proves it. |

It's not hard to be more mature than American gamers. A five year old is more mature than American gamers. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 590 Joined: 22 Apr 2008  | Yet another American here, lurking in the woods near the Canada-Vermont border. Not sure if I should call Vermont a separate country or not...we were for a while, and it sometimes seems like we still are. |

How so? Everytime I have to go through Vermont it seems boring as a horse's butt. And I used to live in Maine, so I know boring. |

I'd make a few suggestions, but frankly, I don't need the federal police breathing down my neck. |

Yeah, when our system of electing the president was created the creators didn't think the common man was smart enough to choose a good leader (they were right). So, they made the electoral college so educated individuals would make the call and not the will of the people. This worked back then because the common man was too dumb and uninformed to realize this was happening. Right now our people are slightly more informed so they're at the point where they know enough to complain when their government doesn't represent them, but still not smart enough to make good decisions. I suppose this is a step up, though. Maybe sometime in the distant future the people of the U.S. will be educated enough to elect competent leaders. |

Yes, it is. It would be the other isle. EDIT: It isn't part of the United Kingdom, but that's a different entity. I'm English by the way. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 56 Joined: 29 Nov 2007 | I'm born and raised in the USA, more specifically Central California (the San Mateo area). My ancestors came from what is now the United Kingdom (Ireland, Scotland) and Western Europe (Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, those kind of places) though. I've still got cousins over there, though I've never met any of them. Edit: How exactly is one a mature gamer? I, for example, buy and play the games that I want to play, don't bash other people's choices, bought a system that I wanted to own (a PS3), and generally try to keep my opinions as opinions rather than forcing other people to agree with me. Which is partially why I've never understood this bloody console war. PS: And yes, I'm an American and I like to use UK cuss words. So sue me, I fell in love with Monty Python six years ago and never looked back, there's only so many times you can watch every bloody episode before you start absorbing things, and I've crossed that particular line a long time ago. |

Now look at Elle Macpherson, Kylie, and the only meter-maids anyone in the world is happy to see. Also, not to be pedantic, but we woulda had apologies over a decade ago if things had gone right. We also would have signed the Kyoto Protocol over a decade ago. Well, at least we got them now. |

I hate to disagree, but Australia was colonised as a new world AND as a handy spot to put people instead of England's overcrowded gaols. Not just a handy place to exile people. Actually, pretty much the same as America.
