Longbow, you certianly like complaining about Gaia. razz

I'm not complaining, i'm simply giving "constructive feedback" xd

Who cares if you miss the start of the event anyways? It's just going to be a small feature (according to VO's journal) which makes me think of something on par to the Kissing thing. But meh, we'll find out when they get it up and running.

Missing out on the start of the event isn't what i'm bothered about as such, but more the concept of not taking different time-zones into account. It just seems bias towards Americans. sweatdrop

...Okay, I know i'm moaning. I'll stop now. xp

It doesn;t matter when they start it. The every nature of this planet makes it so someone has to miss the beginning.

True... but they could of at least planned it around as many timezones as possible. Pretty much the whole of Europe is missing out. sweatdrop And I bet Europeans count for the majority of the non-American Gaian population. (may be wrong, but it's unlikely.)

Well Canadians fall under the US time zone catagory, not to say that in a biased way. But its true. We share time zones, so thus it is ok. What I'm saying, I have no clue.

Also, Canadians are technically Americans. sweatdrop Canada is a part of the continent which is North America, is it not?

...I've always catagorized them as Americans. *Shrugs*

*twitch*

Canadians =/= Americans. We're North Americans, not Americans.

Americans = People in the US.
Canadians = People in Canada.

Nyar, difference. *does not want to be called an American* I'm CANADIAN. There IS a difference. sweatdrop

America = North + South America.
Canada = A part of North America.
Americans = People in America. (not just the US.)  

[Khorkalba]

Adding to that... Yes, I know you're Canadian. I know the difference. And I also know the difference between a country and a continent. wink

I am English. I am also European. See what I mean?

...I don't particularly like being called a European, but I still am one. xp  

[Zurgi]

I can see how it could be used to describe everyone in the continent (like saying Europeans) but most of the time the term "Americans" is used to describe those in the United States. And that's why I don't like being called an American, even though Canada is in the continent of North America 3nodding

Edit: Wooh..we get chocolate to give to "someone special". I want to keep mine O.O

I know. And I would normally call people of Canada Canadians and not Americans. I was simply making the point that technically Canadians are American. wink

Edit: How do we get said chocolate? Or hasn't it been released into our inventories yet?

If it helps, England is my favourite football team! (I like calling it football more than soccer, cos it makes sense))

But don't EVER say us Canadians are a part of America AGAIN!
