An actual, almost non-biased question to the ** staff: what is the current demography of the site and if it's not 99.9999999 percent American citizens, why are the Headlines all just about "Hail USA"? You do understand the concept of Earth, I ******?

Question

Sure, I'm relatively new on the site and nowhere as enlightened as "SJ", who can be seen as a modern-day replacement for "JC" (That's Jeremy Clarkson, by the way) and therefore my ability to understand the undertakings of this wonderful site are more or less compromised (funny thing, why are you using UK spelling in that word, it surely should be "compromized", since "z" is the best thing to come along since the invention of the time-shift cannon of phase seven). I'm wondering about something, though... Funny thing for a Finn, isn't it? Wondering. I mean, by the demographic view, I don't exist. I don't mind. I'm just baffled, that you haven't noticed that there are so much more non-existent areas, such as the... rest of the world. Weird. Silly. Apparently it's just USA and Republicans. What better way to reap controversy and have some publicity. Then again, there is the... rest of the world. Or is there? Maybe I'm lying to you. Seriously, though, why are you stuck in the point of origin and not even trying to expand? Doesn't make sense for an enterprise. I found the site by an accident, don't take me as a "hey, it's huge Global success!" I'm just wondering, if you ever paid any, any attention to the rest of the... What was the word... Right, world. Surely there are questions about helping a dying dog in Guatemala or Kosovo. ... sigh...

Answer 1

Ever since our president killed a Sasquatch we've been a little full of ourselves.

Answer 2

I have stolen most of my personality from other people's sheep. No need to worry about yours.

Answer 3

I have interacted with Aussies, don't they count?

Answer 4

They are selling advertising space.

Answer 5

I know they are too busy ******* off, while the site is running and making them profit. It's not that the business model was about the site, but it's just about the opinions. They are running statistical models, developing new programs to predict stuff, etc.

Answer 6

Do not expect a reply from actual staffers.

Answer 7

I don't have the same setup on mobile as I did on my computer, but as I recall most of the headlines and hot questions were those that received the most responses or the most activity immediately after posting. That pretty much narrows it down to the idiocy. After the first week I ignored the headlines and hot questions. That's called discretionary ** surfing. :)

Answer 8

Yes, but in case you haven't noticed, only few of the questions are picked up to the "front page". If I asked about this really sick squirrel, who is coughing up its lungs, it wouldn't be picked up, because it's not an American issue. Everything revolves around the ********** of "We are better and now were going to die". That's called marketing.

Answer 9

The questions are posed by the users of the site...

Answer 10

I thought it was the Hydra. My bad.

Answer 11

Ever since our president killed a Sasquatch we've been a little full of ourselves.

Answer 12

I know what you mean. Ive never understood British humor myself.

Answer 13

I don't understand seventy percent of the stuff that Americans are posting. Fiuuuuuufh... Going right over my head.

Answer 14

There have been some Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Taiwanese postings here from time to time but few people could read or understand those languages very well.

Answer 15

Oh, I'm not.




*lolz

Answer 16

I mean, if you have sheep, you should be w...

Answer 17

No need to apologize. I'm pretty much always sarcastic; it's never personal.

It's just part of my personality.

Answer 18

******** is based in the USA but doesn't discriminate against foreigners joining.
You seem to have some kind of a persecution complex.
Nobody stopped you from joining did they?
So invite you Finnish friends (if you have any) to join too.
Or, why don't you create a similar site in Finland that would focus on Finnish politics, Finnish media and Finnish bands, films and entertainment figures?
If I sound offended, its because I am. Your poll question is very nasty.

Answer 19

Blame Cambodia!

Answer 20

I'm a very nasty person. Thanks for pointing out, that I obviously don't have any friends. Wikipedia... Hmm... That is an American foundation. Do they prefer something over something else... Nope. Why on Earth would I create a similar site in Finland. That would be copy-catting and I'm an honest person...I like ********, don't get me wrong. A fabulous site, as such, and I'm definitely addicted to it.

Answer 21

Then don't compare them to Hitler.
You are no longer my friend.

Answer 22

I wasn't. I just chose a random picture.

Answer 23

One word;

'MERICA!

Answer 24

Blame Canada!

Answer 25

Nu, Canada is 'Merica #2!!!
Blame South Korea! They are always messin things up! The ** staff are secretly south korean fans of merica! (I'd say blame North Korea, but I am loyal to da glorious leadah.)

Answer 26

Seems legit. XD

Answer 27

I might... have... exaggerated for the fun of it. Sorry. My bad. ;o)

Answer 28

I for one would be excited to hear more about Finland, my interest in the place was first sparked by that Monty Python song praising its many thrilling features;

Finland, Finland, Finland!
So much closer to Russia
But so far from Japan.
Finland, Finland, Finland!
Manufacturer of matches
And exporter of sand.

Answer 29

No wonder you are an ambassador.

Answer 30

How very ********** of you. ;)

Answer 31

It's just that I used to work for the ministry of silly walks.

Answer 32

lol

Answer 33

Welcome to the madhouse.

Not all of us are so self absorbed, and there are even some of us who realize that the US is not the only country in existence.

Answer 34

Kangaroos have the tendency of not having even the limited ability of an average Aussie to emulate conversation. That might seem racist, but it was written with all humor and love. Sort of.
