| RayB | (reply to Dino) posted 14-Mar-2002 1:07pm He said he wanted to know the "region of the 'country'" you live in which would be the East. If he asked what region of the world my country is located, I would say the West. As much as my surveys get "nitpicked" in the qualification stage, you would think they would have caught this! |

| ASB | (reply to cuteasabutton) posted 14-Mar-2002 1:56pm Is that like a suburb? I live in Cincinnati (well not really, I am not in the city limits but the post address says CINTI) But the area I live in could be considered Colerain, Grosebeck, Bevis, White oak or some other name I am sure. |

| darkshadowsseeker | (reply to RayB) posted 14-Mar-2002 2:01pm I wondered myself why the survey creator didn't say "world", but since no one else seemed to be having a problem with it, I let it slide. |
| southernyankee | posted 14-Mar-2002 2:08pm I currently attend the University of New Orleans and I live in the dorms there. I am sure that most of you have heard of New Orleans even if you're not from the US. On the weekends, I go back home to a subarban town sometimes known as L-town. Its about 30-40 miles away from New Orleans. |

| Gamera | (reply to southernyankee) posted 14-Mar-2002 2:49pm L-town? I don't remember that name from when I lived in New Orleans, where is it? I was just a college kid- only stayed around Tulane- so I was pretty ignorant of much of my surroundings. |

| Locutus | posted 14-Mar-2002 6:00pm I, myself, live in the Northeast US |
| Gamera | (reply to heyzeus1) posted 14-Mar-2002 6:22pm You're a cheese head? I didn't know that. For some reason I always thought you lived in New England and were friends with the folks I know around here. Drat. So much for my chances of meeting you at a party sometime. |

| mimind | (reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 14-Mar-2002 9:16pm i got to live in oregon for a while, in a crapty town called klamath falls. dont ever let yourself be drawn to the place its evil. the rest of the state that i got the chance to see was very beautiful though |

| darkshadowsseeker | (reply to mimind) posted 14-Mar-2002 10:51pm I'm familiar with Klamath Falls. A former co-worker (the one who isn't too bright) that I've mentioned a few times was born and raised there. I've always wondered if the schools there were the fault of her being so dumb or maybe it was something in the water. I'll guess I'll never know. What other parts of Oregon have you visited? |

| natsim | (reply to Enheduanna) posted 15-Mar-2002 1:06am Yes, and the natural appearance is remarkably similar. Only the houses are different! Well, not quite. I need to keep reminding myself that New England is in Australia too, because when people here ask how I liked the US and I say "New England is so beautiful" they look a little confused!! |
| mimind | (reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 15-Mar-2002 1:34am i got to visit la pine and bend. bend was very cool, heyzeus and i and a couple of our friends spent a whole day at a waterfall in bend. it was an adventure to say the least. |
| darkshadowsseeker | (reply to mimind) posted 15-Mar-2002 1:45am So it's the water then. Did you visit the High Desert Museum when you were in the Bend area? It's a pretty cool place. |
| mimind | (reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 15-Mar-2002 2:02am no it wasnt really a sightseeing type tour, we were on our way home from la pine i think, and we just stopped in this cool spot to hang out for a while. it was so fun we spent the whole day there.i planted a couple of pot seeds around the waterfall...wonder if they ever grew. |

| mimind | (reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 15-Mar-2002 2:30am yeah ive had the same problem although not as much as everyone else it seems, i checked out feedback and it seems some people are having the problem worse than others, im thinking its a change bill and romkey are working on that is not being supported by some browsers more than others |
| darkshadowsseeker | (reply to mimind) posted 15-Mar-2002 2:55am What browser are you currently using? I'm using IE. |

| heyzeus1 | (reply to mimind) posted 15-Mar-2002 12:57pm well everything around here is called northwest this and northwestern that. and i have heard them say it on the news. |
| heyzeus1 | (reply to Gamera) posted 15-Mar-2002 1:00pm no i havent been out east yet. i am from the west, but yes, i am a cheesehead now. i like being a cheesehead. funny, you've got your identical sterotypes here just as anywhere else, and they all look the same as people everywhere else, but its kinda funny to see like a biker looking guy with a long beard or a cowboy or whatever and they start talking and the sound all swedish 'oh ya der hey, im goin up nort dere fer the huntin!' |
| heyzeus1 | (reply to Gamera) posted 15-Mar-2002 1:01pm well, i guess you know, new englands got a pretty funny accent too. |
| teatree | (reply to dora) posted 15-Mar-2002 1:13pm You are so lucky! |
| RayB | (reply to Dino) posted 15-Mar-2002 1:24pm I guess I am being stereotyped. I thought most people don't like stereotyping. Dino, I answered the question. It asked for the region of whatever country I reside in. It did not ask for the country. I stated "East" and someone had a smarta$$ response, China? Then, did I realise that I misunderstood the question because it was worded incorrectly. My questions get nitpicked to death when my surveys are clear but it seems others poorly written surveys make it through the qualification process with no problem. |
| Gamera | (reply to heyzeus1) posted 15-Mar-2002 2:13pm No we don't. |

| mimind | (reply to heyzeus1) posted 15-Mar-2002 3:26pm they must be talking about the northwestern part of the state. otherwise this is just plain old midwest. the northwest part of the state is the most popular part to people from outside of wisconsin. |
| cuteasabutton | (reply to ASB) posted 15-Mar-2002 4:32pm Yeah- I think that is what it is- a suburb of Salt Lake. Really plain here- lots of big families and alot of young stay-at-home Moms. Not much happening! |
| darkshadowsseeker | (reply to mimind) posted 15-Mar-2002 4:54pm Have you been back to Feedback today (Friday). bill explained what's going on. |
| Dino | (reply to RayB) posted 15-Mar-2002 6:01pm It was less about the wording of the survey but everyone elses interpretation and acknowledgment that America is not the centre of the universe on SC. |
| heyzeus1 | (reply to mimind) posted 15-Mar-2002 6:05pm there are two northwestern companies in brookfield |

| RayB | (reply to Dino) posted 15-Mar-2002 9:53pm I never said that America was the center of the world. Where did I say that? What I said went right over your head. You haven't stopped to understand it. What I interpreted the question to ask was... no matter what country you live in (Brazil, Egypt, whatever) what region of it do you live in. "East" is my answer. You just happed to be correct that I lived in the USA. If I happened to live on the East coast of Australia, again, my answer would have been simply "East." The question doesn't ask us to give the country unless we don't know what region we live in. If you want to know the name of the country and what region of it do I live then I would say, "Eastern United States." When you responded with "China" to my answer of "East" I thought that you must have been asking what region of the world because China is considered in the eastern region (I think). I am sorry you feel we Americans are arrogant. I have heard many Americans say similiar things of people from England. Many feel you are also snooty. I am sure some Americans are arrogant and so are some from your country. I have never been to England, but my parents really enjoy visiting. |
| RayB | (reply to Dino) posted 15-Mar-2002 11:24pm Just to make something clear, I believe Locutus only wanted the region of the world but stated it to read region of one's country. |
| mimind | (reply to darkshadowsseeker) posted 16-Mar-2002 12:50am no but my problem is gone ill go check it out |

| Lex | (reply to mandy) posted 17-Mar-2002 6:18am Cool. I wasnt. I was born in Nottingham, but moved here (colchester) about 8 years ago. |
| mandy | (reply to Lex) posted 17-Mar-2002 3:32pm Good God! Colchester!!! I was born in Clacton and as a baby lived in Jaywick and then Clacton. We used to drive through Colchester all the time. Isn't that on the way to Southend from Clacton? My Mum and all my family live in Southend. |
