        Yes, this is a rant but it's also an issue that affects many programmers and most web users. Have you ever seen those forms where they ask you to enter your State or Province from a drop down, while also asking for your country. And, of course, the dropdown only contains US states? If you are going to go to the trouble of actually offering other than the US in the 'Countries' drop down, then maybe it might be worth offering a choice of State that isn't in the US. I don't get it. What do you guys do in this situation?

        a) Email the webmaster with an angry email saying their site sucks (yes - I know many of you do that. I have examples in my intray ;)) b) Try and work around it then essentially give up c) Say you are from Alabama.

        cheers, Chris Maunder

            It's this very attitude of the great U S of bloody A, that really gets on the tits of every other nation on earth (well especially us brits). i.e this idea that America is the centre of the Universe, the sun revolves around america. That any american champions in a 2 bit sport that the only the americans play seriously e.g. baseball (or should I say rounders), are automatically dubbed 'WORLD champions'.... the 'World Series....blah blah'. Then they have the audacity to ignore the world's greatest game played by every other nation on earth with a passion, and not only that they rename it 'soccer', so that it doesnt CONFUSE their people with that amazingly witless game they play in pathetic costumes. God it makes me puke. This same attitude is the one responsible for crappy forms which only show American states, and zip codes. Im not sayin I hate america, or its people, but the fact is, 'on average' they are probably the least intelligent, most arrogant, most self-centred, most ignorant nation on earth. (France pushes them close though -but thats another long rant :) ); :mad: "Life begins at 140"

                    Who says i'm angry? I was stating simple facts. Plus it seems you got no sense of humour. Your ID says 'Brit', but you seem to be another clueless american who doesnt understand british wit. :laugh: "Life begins at 140"

                        I say Alaska. It's fairly remote, and it's close to the top of the list.

                          Don't all countries do those things in someway or another? If not, why would they be so upset at the 'US of bloody A'? The US is just famous for it for some reason.
