Why is it websites that sell sh*t to people in England, Scotland, N.Ireland, & Wales force us to pick UNITED KINGDOM as our country?? Hold on for starters the UK ISNT A COUNTRY!!! Why generalise us its taking who we are away from us! There is no way I refer to myself as BRITISH before ENGLISH! I am an Englishman first and formost. Also when will you hear a Scotsman, Irishman, or a Welshman ever refer to themselves as British too before their nationality.

Rant over feel free to come in laugh and bugger off again :P

I agree with Herbal $tu. Its like calling all you people over there in the states and canada 'North American'. I mean come on, if that happened, the 'North Americans' would all run around wearing national flags and protesting about people's rights as individuals and shit like that. And.... Christ! can you imagine how many internet companies would get sued for being non-pc. :D lol.

i agree with that shit, i hate the idea of being called the 'uk'. but this is prolly gonna piss you all off :D :

think of it this way: how many invasions has the 'uk' had over the years? i mean think about it, romans, french, vikings and almost germans (almost thank god). so when all these warior people come over, whats the 1st thing on their mind when coming to their 1st town? yup, nookie.
they ragged are bitches like nobody's business. so next time you say 'hey im english' just think to yourself: 'am i an italian frog with horns?'

(not to mention all the refugee's we get for the NHS :P)

I feel for you guys, but I can really sympathize. Noone ever bothers putting Canada on things up top of lists, etc.

Sometimes they claim to ship worldwide and there is no option for Canada. Usually its American sites that have that kind of bull, becuase they are too arrogant to think of other countries.

All Americans note that I am not generalizing here, I like a great deal of Americans. I am just saying that many have that kind of ignorance and arrogance.

yeah its sad what a horribly misinformed population we are. at least a great deal of us. i think stoners take more time to analyze situations though.
