Aussies are there

Almost, but there is nothing there about where the readers are from. I guess the perfect thing for my point is a list of what countries members are from, based on member IP

I saw that somewhere, I'll try to find it but if I recall properly it's about 50% American, the next 40% divvied up between, in order, UK, Canada and Oz. 10% from a LOT of different countries.

Your point is still moot, a lot of English speakers who are not American use the internet.

Thanks, that's getting closer to what I think would help the OP and others. Although, that graph is simply the number of unique cookies (visits), in other words - readers, regardless of membership.
What would help the OP most would be a list from ATS, as to what countries its subscribers are from, not just readers.
But thank you still
And I am with Intrepid, coulda swore I once saw exactly what I am talking about - a member/country list.

Getting rid of the American evangelicals and right wing extremists on here would be a great start, but I can't see that happening.. Those two profiles are ultra "American" and basically resent having to share this planet with anyone else..
Yet, in a thread which you started, you say that Internet forums should be unmoderated, to allow the reader to choose what to read and what to ignore.
You want the freedom to decide what to view, yet you want the site to get rid o what YOU don't want to be here.
A bit of hypocrisy eh?

Your Zimbabwe thread is four years old. And during that intervening period it's received 12 flags.

But the point still stands, ATS has no bounds for discussion. And we LOVE discussing anything.
