Europe Net Users Now Outnumber US/Canada
palefish writes "From
this article in the
Media Guardian: According to Irish-based industry monitor Nua.com, Europe has almost 186 million users, while Canada and the US register 182 million. The difference may not seem substantial, but Europe is still a growing market. I've always thought of Europe as lagging somewhat behind the States in the internet uptake stakes (probably because some of our telecoms companies are yet to
understand the internet). So, I don't know about you lot, but this statistic came as a bit of a surprise to me."
In other news, 77% of all Americans think Europeans are wusses based on a poll just made up by me.
I once encountered a US girl who was surprized that we, the dutch, actually speak... dutch. According to her everyone here in Europe speaks english. Hence why I wouldn't be surprized if some american would reply with "Europe? What's that?"...
It's a bad thing people think of american people at stupid... It's even worse when most of them you know online actually confirm it.
Hate me!
Whatever yall say... my vote is we Blame Canada!
So close and yet so far from the world's perfect ID number
Where in the world did you learn to hate yourself and your country so?
Well for one I don't hate myself or my country, I actually appreciate that I can actually question my government and not get thrown in jail. What I am saying is that we also need to realize that we are not alone in this global community and need to start thinking of others and thier needs thats why we havce things like the UN. I DO HATE the idea of invading a country just becaused it suits some dumbass republicans need to fix daddy's error and a lot of the European nations seem to agree with me but here in the US we don't always get the other side of the story. As for the previous poster that said we should listen, while being an ass doing it he is right the US as a nation does need to start to listen more.
You do realize that as country we *are* different? The US has done things and made choices that make her different that say Germany or Iraq. There is no equivalancy between us and Iraq, none!
