I've been flipping through quite a few threads, and almost every thread is dominated by Americans. A few Brits and Canadians, yeah, but overall mainly Americans.

Where is the rest of the world?

I think the majority of active members are Americans, but there are quite a few Brits, Filipinos, Aussies, and Canadians as well as those from other countries (Singapore, as noted). There seem to be several Norwegians as well. Those are the major ones I've noticed :)

I'm from Britain but not from England.
Lots from USA in here. I've noticed a few.
North America has a bit more room then Britain so there are a few more people in it.

maybe it's just 'us'!? 'over-here'!

so many have been taught that they are so important and that what ever they say
is the 'last, most important word' in their conversation/life' - also the way that
the 'media' and 'folly-world' have spelled/convinced most that they ARE 'all that'
and so much more...and this of course this is excluding Jesus and His Teachings and Commands...
really, it's been a continual mockery of all of our Saviour's Teachings...

most everyone wants and needs to believe a 'beautiful-lie-fantasy' in order to make some kind
of comparison of themselves, for the very sad fact that they never got it at home-table
or anywhere else...

Okay, well to mitigate this over-representation of 'Murica, I'm going to change my national flag to represent the highest percentage of DNA in my makeup.

I'd like to take one of those ancestry DNA test, just out of curiosity.

Czech, Filipino, Indian, Kiwis, Brazilian, Burma, Finland, Sweden,... Maybe it just seems like we're all Americans because we're the ones who don't let anyone get a word in edge wise. :confused:

Never been to the USA. The concept of such large spaces of the same terrain is somewhat foreign to me as Wales where I am is said to have all the geological aspects of the USA in a small space.
Yet Wales is actually large as it would take about 2 weeks to walk coast to coast between north and south. OK, some do it in less time. A few days cycling.

I see lots of people from all over the world. America is a big country, though, and most Americans speak English.

But you are already overseas so why do you want to go anywhere else?

How long to walk it west to east? (Your shorter-than section is a harder-to-walk section. lol)

Personally, I think "mountains" take up "large spaces" by default. :)

American here, so excuse my questions if they sounds as dumb as I fear it does, but do you consider NZ "overseas?" And all those countries in the Indian Ocean "overseas?"

In America, if we want to consider ourselves "well-traveled," when, in reality we're just home-bodies, we count going to Canada/Mexico as a big adventure or going to the Caribbeans as a grand adventures. I always thought Ozzies did the same thing with NZ. Just hop on over to say "I've traveled the world."

Although the us doesn't require passports to go state to state, each state has a lot of its own laws and customs that make each one unique. I live in Pennsylvania and a couple of years ago I flew west to Oregon. Although it's America and I didn't need different money it language there were differences that I liked a lot. They seem more accepting and open there and more environmentally friendly. I like Pennsylvania too, we are short distances away from forests and beaches and I love that.
