[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 113150, member: 1125"] What I'm most bemused about is the grouping of Japan and Pacific Islands Come on firstly where talking about the Worlds BIGGEST geographic feature (the Pacific Ocean) as a single group and yet we divide a small peninsula off the side of Asia into east and west and GB!!! Am I also mistaken or is their no East Asia category (we have Middle East, India, Central Asia but nowhere to put Japan, Singapore, Malaysia etc!!!) Anyway geographically and socially it makes much more sense to group the Pacific Islands with Australia and NZ than it does with Japan (or East Asia) btw I'm from Aotearoa sometimes referred to as New Zealand:) and talking about Pacific Islands am I the only person of Polynesian descent here? I also just noticed that Africa (the worlds second largest continent) is a single group but America is split into south, central and US and Canada! gee I could sit here and deconstruct this poll all day (damn those Sociology classes!!!):) [/QUOTE]
