Neither. Nada. Nietzsche. (a little bit of alliteration is all. just be thankful I didn't riff into my fucking Haiku... UGH)
Yes, that was my point.

You know the population of Europe (we're not showing EU here) is double that of USA, don't you?
(Bloody yanks
)Seems like exactly how I prefer to live.
Yes, exactly! How do I know that I am here? Because I am not there? How did I get here from there? Still working on that one: both geographically and existentially (14 trips through the Panama canal, 17 years gone & I am back within 12 miles of where I started from, a place that I never wanted to come back to). Many questions.

So many people, so little output. Can't blame him for thinking europialand is much smaller.
There isn't more of us, we just like voting in polls
Actually I'm in Europe but not in the EU. Quite a few countries in Europe are not in the EU.
Sure... was just saving power by shortening EUrope to EU but didnt mean EU as in European Union... especially given the context where the poll map refers to EUrope.
I am obviously aware of who is and isnt in the EU. For example
As an example of my geopolitical awareness.

***. Bugger I did it again.. Should have said United Kingdom (UK) and not Britain which could be construed as Great Britain which is a geographic construct that doesnt include any part of Ireland

If you are lumping me in with Yanks you are sadly mistaken... I am in fact from a small Pacific island at the bottom of the world that once was the fear of the Rugby world but not so much now.
We hope to improve this situation when we boot out 'Fozzie' after this years Rugby World Cup and get in a real coach who goes by the name of 'Razor'.
The nicknames couldnt be more appropriate: Employee a guy named after a likeable Clown from the Muppets and your get a circus, employ a guy who is as sharp as a razor with a cut throat mentality and you will get the results.
Roll on 2024!!!.

Now you have my serious apologies. I assumed your USA, USA...... chant was perhaps some trumpian thing
Good luck with re-coaching your Rugby team.
PS for the benefit of any yanks: over here yank is sort of a generic term for any USAnian. Depending on context it can be used disparagingly - however, I was using it in the friendly/cordial form which I hoped to convey with an emoticon.

I was concieved in Charleston, SC and born in Salzburg, Austria. I both cases, I am called a Southerner (south part of the USA, South of Germany) and sometimes a Rebel (which, for me, may be appropriate in it's actual meaning, as I tend to do what restorer johns motto says. (Ricky Roma: I subscribe to the law of contrary public opinion... If everyone thinks one thing, then I say, bet the other way...)!Now you have my serious apologies.

But these are just descriptors:
(although I do not have the USA southern accent), sometimes it doesn't fit. USA Southerners (and everyone else in the USA) wonders what part of the USA I'm from (with an Austrian mother who spoke the Kings English when I was a child and a father who spoke a localized old Charleston speech pattern), my speech patterns & accent sound like neither one. And same for my German speech patterns (having spent a lot of time in Austria also, when growing up). But Austrians hear my speech patterns of the German language and wonder were I learned it and Germans just wonder what is wrong with me.
As long as I can get my point across (you know, like asking for some Salzburger Nockerl and coffee in Austria, some bratwurst and beer in Germany and some BBQ and fixin's in the Southern USA), I'm happy! Just to complicate things even more, I married (in 2005) a Chinese women that had been living in Oceana (Saipan) were I had moved to in 2003.
Again, it's all just descriptors (like trying to categorize people like genre's of music [sometimes it's right, usually it's just sorta' right] {and sometimes totally wrong}).
Hopefully no offense is meant and no offense is taken. But some people are peculiar about it.

I was born in a crossfire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the drivin' rain.
Australia. Australia doesn't have hurricanes; some British bloke penned those lines.

Doesn't bother us Tony. we know there are love/hate and hate/hate relationships with us among other nations but still they take our investments, aid and watch our movies.

There is no hate - either with or without love in my relationships with USAnians. (Except perhaps towards some brands of extremist gun toting nutjobs)Doesn't bother us Tony. we know there are love/hate and hate/hate relationships with us among other nations but still they take our investments, aid and watch our movies.
Both my Sister and Mother are citizens, as was my Dad. Everyone I have met over there has been universally lovely. Sometimes strange but always lovely.
You do have very good movies. But so do we. Just not as many of them.
Amen
Warmer: YES!
Warm! Why I have a home in Guam (right now staying in Charleston, SC USA [too cold, but my 89 year old mother is here and I am an only child, so here I am]) but my wife & I own our home in Guam.
My actual legal residence was Saipan from 2003-2018 (during that time it never went below 73 F [& it's average daily temperature change is 8 degrees F, High temp can be 96 {never saw it that high, though}). It was my base for my travels then, but we bought a place in Guam in 2007 (I was not there very often). I was all over Asia & Oceana, from Diego Garcia down to Fremantle, Australia and most everything in between. & spent part of the winter every year in S. Korea (winter there sucks). Okinawa was probably the best place I liked, weather wise, as far as the Asian Islands go, Thailand (away from the big cities) was my overall favorite country, Singapore is nice but I like more rural (I would have probably liked it better when it was a possibility for a big cat to show up in a bar), China, I was only in big cities, so NO! (perhaps more suburban or rural qould be more to my liking. In my earlier life, I was in Europe 9 times for varying periods of time, with Salzburg, Austria as my base. I got to England a couple of times, passing through by ship (South Hampton or the London Airports) but never really got to see any of it. Same with Ireland, passed through the Shannon airport.
