The *actual* poll of Where are you From/Living

TruTexan · 10-22-2014, 02:21 PM

I picked US Southwest because I was born in Tx and live in Tx.

Breathless · 10-22-2014, 02:50 PM

I answered the poll question before reading the poll directions.. Go ahead spank me ;-) ... I said western Canada, although I have physically been here the longest, (20 in the west, 18 in the east) I am a severe North central easterner.. Way above all the great Lakes. You know the place in the world where the keys to the expensive car still hangs in the ignition and no one ever locks the house.. Where trusting thy neighbour still completely exists.

Finally!

Born in southern California, and with a couple of short stays elsewhere (after age 18), i've always lived here.

Femmadian · 10-22-2014, 03:16 PM

When I first voted, it said a quarter of BFPers hailed from Eastern Canada. Got all excited before I looked at the number of voters beside that percentage amount... heh.

Glad to see you're getting lots of responses. May your final sample size be large and diverse!

Canada east or west? That's it? That's like US east or west.

Words · 10-22-2014, 03:49 PM

30 years total UK (where I was born and lived for the first 18 years) and 25 total Middle East (Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Israel).

Definitely the latter when it comes to the greatest influence.

Rockinonahigh · 10-22-2014, 03:54 PM

I picked south west.Living in Louisiana,I use to travel a lot but always come home.

It's a conundrum.

I did consider that complexity ... that's why I tossed in the alternate "choose which influences your sense of values etc" in the OP. though I know lots of people will click before reading lol.

But if you feel it shaped your values more than the UK, by all mean, absolutely!

Gemme · 10-22-2014, 04:53 PM

Well, this was anti-climatic.

imperfect_cupcake · 10-22-2014, 05:34 PM

Iknorite!

40 min of my life now gone...

Nooooo, I voted UK HB....I was just adding some context.

I don't agree that the poll is meaningless by the way. For example, I've been accused a couple of times online of being 'snooty' or even 'snarky' when I talk when in reality, all I'm doing is speaking the Queen's English. It's not like I lose sleep over it but I do think that a total disregard for regional/cultural differences plays a HUGE part in many of the problems we face as a community.

Ohhh lol... Yeah, see there's that. It's hard to make more complex polls.
I'd like to make one for people who have moved around to click the two or three most influential places on their values and expression. Not sure how to do that....

I know a few places have changed me in really deep ways. And although I couldn't do the southern UK again in a place to live, I have been enculturated in ways I didn't realise till got home and felt like slapping many of the people here. Usually to do with humour and how to deal with conflict.

Southern UK, where I learned to make "sorry" and "thank you" said with a light smile or look of concern sound like "fuck. you." Lol

please read disclaimer, Syr... I'm from *&^%$ canada, I know that...
There are only 30 slots. I also know that South africa and North africa is an Insane difference, to be meaningless. Decide which 4 regions on a US board, outside of US should take priority, then make your own poll *big charming smile*

Please place complaints against a meaningless and shite poll in my IM box.

Or are you taking the piss to get me girl-huffy?
