September 2, 200619 yr QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 09:23 AM) So he was sort of right - that is Eastern Europe. In fact, the Caucasus Mountains are what make up the boundary between Asia and Europe, between the Black and Caspian Seas. Except that is closer to the Middle-East then the Adriatic Sea, which Serbia has cost's of. So if someone was born within 500-1000 miles of something, thats what they are? I guess that means many of us are Mexican and Canadian too. QUOTE(spawn @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 09:22 AM) I'm a 39 year-old black man...and you guys are right. I'm a minority in the real world...but the ratio here is quite disheartening. Of course, that's through no fault of anyone here. I'm a member of 5 different forums, either sports or political related, and this ratio holds true to the other forums as well. One of those forums, I'm the only black member. Hey, don't feel bad. I'm the only Serbian in a 90% black high school. Edited September 2, 200619 yr by SoxFan1

September 3, 200619 yr QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 12:53 PM) what about Iowans do they count as people? hey there watch yourself.
September 3, 200619 yr Male 37 Latino, or Spanish, or Hispanic or Hispanic American or whatever the PC term of the week is. You know the funny thing is I can categorize myself in many different ways...depending on what's convenient. Some people think you're either black or white. I guess I could be white. I am also a 'minority', so I could lump myself in with Af/Ams, Asians etc. I could also say I'm Latino. I just an American.

September 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 07:16 AM) Notice the nice bell curve of ages Who are the other old people? Not in group 4 or 5 just yet, but I'll raise my hand on that one.
September 5, 200619 yr I'm 19 in a week, so I voted in the 19-22 catergory. I'm also white and male. And yea, its pretty cool to see the bell curve for the ages.
September 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 03:49 AM) I'm white That's odd. Do your parents know about this? QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 05:48 AM) You're Caucasian from what I've seen Slav. No kidding. He was also born and raised in the United States, but he swears that he's not an American. We have some odd birds up in this place.
September 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 2, 2006 -> 07:16 AM) Notice the nice bell curve of ages Who are the other old people? Well... I am definitely on the downslope of the curve. I suppose it depends on what you term "old". On this site, I think I'd have to claim that.
September 5, 200619 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) That's odd. Do your parents know about this? I tried to keep it a secret, but they somehow found out
September 5, 200619 yr We had an equal oppurtunity session at work that went for an hour and a half today. The woman taking it looked like something out of the Rocky Horror Show or something. One of the more funnier discussion was it's harassment even if you don't say stop, if someone is flushing your head down the toilet. But yes the poll, Male, 20, and White.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 06:07 PM) I hope The Reverend Jesse Jackson isnt a Sox fan or he would shut this place down. The King of Beers is in fact a big White Sox fan. I did see him at Soxfest last year, granted that was during an NAACP meeting at the Hyatt, but supposedly he got over and said hey to the team.

Holy crap is that funny QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Sep 4, 2006 -> 10:36 PM) Not in group 4 or 5 just yet, but I'll raise my hand on that one. Count me in the age 32 bracket.
September 6, 200619 yr Do you think people are just voting other because they don't feel comfortable putting an true answer?
September 7, 200619 yr QUOTE(heartslasher @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) Do you think people are just voting other because they don't feel comfortable putting an true answer? No, and I'm saying this because I voted for other myself for various reasons.

And yea, its pretty cool to see the bell curve for the ages. Love the FZ av, Felix! I take little solace in the fact that I am still just barely in the less than 40 age bracket. Run this poll again in 9 months and It'll probably send me directly into mid-life crisis mode.
September 7, 200619 yr I hit the hard six November 7th. I still act 25 though...I'm hoping to pull that off for at least another 10 years!! I'm 100% Italian. I chose Caucasian, but would have liked to select Paisan!!
