QotD: Atheist Location Service

by VorJack

Lots of folks used the last question to figure out where other commentors live. So let’s cut to the chase:

Where all y’all at?

  5. Lucy says:

  7. Duke York says:

    The New York City Metropolitan Area (Jersey City, specifically).

    In the Netherlands. Above the rivers of course :)

  10. Lisa S says:

    Upstate New York…

  13. Mark Mukasa says:

    South London, UK. BRAP BRAP BRAP! Bruv, mans ain’t wanna roll through our area, cuz we got it locked down! Ya’ get me? Hol’ tight all the Atheist/Agnostic mandem! Big up to Mukz, Juice and all the mandem inside. Shout out to my girl Wayo, shout out to Shcoobzie, shout out to Scribz, shout out to Richard Dawkins, shout out to Christopher Hitchens. And most importantly shout out to all my bredrins on Unreasonable Faith, we on dis ting! Blap! Blap! Blap!

    I am so sorry. I just couldn’t resist it. :-( … But yes…I’m from London.

  14. Mogg says:

    I’m not an atheist, but…Melbourne. The one pronounced ‘Melben’ by the locals, rather than the one in the US.

  15. DDM says:

    Sacramento, California, USA. I’m trying to move out as fast as I can.

    • Jabster says:

      Congrats … the first American who thinks they should put USA after their location … :-)

      • DDM says:

        I don’t have much patriotism for my country. If I could, I’d move to somewhere better. Preferably somewhere with universal healthcare.

        • Jabster says:

          It’s just me having a little jovial dig about the number of (warning stereotype starting) Americans who think (expect?) that everyone else should automatically know that a place is in America and not somewhere else. Probably made worse by the lack of knowledge that can be displayed from anywhere outside of the USA!

          It’s the same little bug bear I have when someone quotes part of the US constitution to support their argument i.e. this is a blog that is used by more than just Americans so don’t expect everyone posting to be American.

          • DDM says:

            Oh. I was thinking more like how people not in the US use the dd/mm/yyyy format instead of mm/dd/yyyy format. But yeah, I guess empathy is my weakness and I realize that not everyone would(or should!) know where Sacramento, CA is located.

          • Revyloution says:

            Yes, US citizens are arrogant, but there is a great body of common knowledge that exists in the world. There is but one California, Texas, or New York. If I tell a South African that I live in Los Angeles, he is going to know where it is.

            It’s also true for other iconic world locations. No one has to denote Italy if they say they are from Rome. Stockholm, Tokyo, London, Capetown, Sydney, Buenos Aires, Bangkok, Kabul, Mumbai, etc. There are many places in the world that don’t need their nation to be identified.

            And im in Oregon in the USA. :)

            • Siberia says:

              You’d be surprised by the amount of people who think Buenos Aires is in Brazil…

            • Elemenope says:

              I wouldn’t be surprised at all. In US primary and secondary schools, South America (for some unfathomable reason) is tied with Africa for absolutely least-studied area of the world.

            • Revyloution says:

              I thought Brazil was an imaginary place, like Middle Earth, Narnia or a Libertarian Utopia.

              Either that, or its a nut…

            • Elemenope says:

              When I was growing up, the family would always have mixed nuts for the holiday season (American Thanksgiving to Christmas), and Brazil nuts *vexed the crap out of me*. I could handle all the other nuts just fine, but cracking a Brazil nut with a standard nutcracker is an art I could never master.

            • Siberia says:

              Well, it’s better being known for our nuts (hee) than for the half-naked chicks lounging by the beaches, I’m sure.

              (Both are ubiquitous, btw.)

            • Jabster says:

              Well except the New York that is in the UK for example … :-)

            • burpy says:

              There´s a California In Norfolk (that´s Norfolk, England).

            • Jabster says:

              I think we’re on -2 internets for Revyloution …

            • Elemenope says:

              I think we’re on -2 internets for Revyloution …

              On the contrary, there is only one real New York or California, and that should not be diminished by the usurpers of title, whether they precede the great and well-known true ones chronologically or not!

              Clearly, there can be only one, and I’m pretty sure California the state could take California the Norfolk suburb with both hands tied.

            • Jabster says:

              I’m not sure that Norfolk should be that worried about a bunch of hippies!

            • Mogg says:

              They’re a whole lot of hippies living in a spot that will break in half with the next earthquake and led by Ahhnold. Surely that is at least slightly worrying!

            • James G says:

              I’ve been travelling around South America for nearly a year. When people ask me where I’m from, I just say London. If I said ‘Britain’ or ‘England’, the next question would either be ‘what part?’ or ‘London?’, so it cuts out the middleman.

          • Elemenope says:

            It’s the same little bug bear I have when someone quotes part of the US constitution to support their argument i.e. this is a blog that is used by more than just Americans so don’t expect everyone posting to be American.

            Well, we would quote the British constitution if we could, but nobody seems able to find it. :-b

            • Mark Mukasa says:

              I see what you did there. Uncodified ftw.

            • Revyloution says:

              Agree +1 internets for Elemnope

            • James G says:

              I´m from Britain and I quote the Constitution too. It´s usually a good way of shutting anyone up who thinks that America was founded as a Christian nation.

            • Jabster says:

              When you’re discussing a general opinion or even worse something that happened in the UK then quoting the American constitution seems a somewhat strange thing to do …

            • borodave says:

              Britain has a constitution, it’s just not in one document. It’s a series of documents starting with the Magna Carta in 1215 and includes: The Petition of Right 1628, The Bill of Rights 1689 (yes that’s right – we do have one) and The Human Rights Act 1998.

            • Mark Mukasa says:

              Yeah but Parliamentary Sovereignty could *technically* override those easily. There’s no legal limitations on Parliament *technically*. So Parl’t could if it wanted to punish everyone who wakes up before 9am, kill all Black people, institute Sharia law, pass a law requiring compulsory abortions for every first child and we couldn’t do shit about it, *technically*.
              Thankfully we have some restraints which would make it improbable that they could do it.
              And boy do I know. I had a law exam a few days ago.

            • Jabster says:

              I think that’s the point with the UK “constitution” … it may not be written down as such but it’s understood what it is and MPs do kick up a fuss if they fundamentals are asked to be changed. I just wonder whether Auntie Brenda a.k.a. the Queen would ever use her backstop to stop laws.

            • Custador says:

              Um, the UK does have a constitution – it’s just spread over a lot of different documents.

            • Elemenope says:

              That’s not a constitution. That’s a scavenger hunt.

        • borodave says:

          Come to the UK – we’ve had it since the 1940s!!!

      • Custador says:

        Pet peeve: Films that give famous world locations in subtitles as “Paris, France” or “London, England”. It makes me want to scream – I mean, I know that there’s a Paris in Texas – but I’m guessing it’s not a massive city and centre of world culture; if I had to express an opinion, I think I could probably tell them apart on screen!

        • Zinn says:

          What a funny diversion. But I have to say, after having traveled the world fairly extensively, and trying out different things to say when people would ask where we were from, there is a very consistent recognition of California. Didn’t matter if it was Asia, Europe, South America. You can say America, U.S., United States, etc., but when you say California, all of a sudden their eyes just light up. Not arrogance, just an observation.

        • LRA says:

          Hee hee! Custador, you ROCK! My uncle used to be the big boss at Social Security in Paris, Texas. :D

  16. hertzi says:

    Romania

  17. Eastern Ohio here.

  18. michelr says:

    France – here we don’t suffer much from religious fanatics, but we keep fighting every day – and we’re very worried about what’s happening on this front in the USA.

    • Nelly says:

      me too, and I live on the “left coast” as all my righty relatives like to say. Too many mega churches in my neck of the woods.

      • Nelly says:

        I meant…….me too about being worried for the USA

        not that I wouldn’t want to live in your country. I visited last year and didn’t want to leave!

      • Michael says:

        The left coast politically or geographically? I don’t get it.

        • Nelly says:

          I guess both. I always assume though, that my family thinks that California is nothing but the pagan land of liberals, but not so. I live in Kern county and that has to one of the most right-wing counties here.

          • DDM says:

            I’d have to say the opposite of what you’ve observed. I’ve only seen liberals here. For instance, if I were to tell someone I were a gay furry, they’d shrug and be like “Cool.”

  19. Ericki says:

    Northeastern Pennsylvania, The Pocono’s

  20. Jay says:

    Hampton Roads, Virginia. I’ve been an avid reader of this site but never a commentator.

    • Billy says:

      I lived in Norfolk, Virginia for a year. I love FM99, hows it going up there now? I still hear Shelly on the radio every once in a while. Too bad (Rumble?) left Tommy and Rumble in the morning. Now I live about 45 miles away.

      • Jay says:

        Sorry Billy, I can’t give you an update on FM99. I don’t listen to broadcast radio save for the occasional report from the BBC on NPR. I hope things are well with you in your “new” locale.

    Lake Worth Florida

  25. Sydney, Australia.

    Although people here usually ask if I’m from:
    1. USA
    2. Canada
    3. The internet

    • Olaf says:

      Australia does not exist. People would fall off the Earth. LOL

      • You know how they do it is they tie everything on with ropes. When I was down there I was amazed how well it works. Drinking is a little tricky.

        San Diego, California, USA, and no I don’t surf or talk like Spicoli. I moved here from San Francisco and everyone there warned me how (religiously) conservative it was. So to test it my first week I wore a “Proud to be an atheist T-shirt” and the only reaction I got was a positive one from a cute girl working at a grocery store. Not so religious as far as I can tell. SoCal atheists, get yourselves to social functions if you’re not already so we can all meet each other face to face. The San Diego scene in particular is a lot of fun.

    • Michael says:

      That’s ridiculous. Everybody knows you aren’t allowed to use the internet in Australia.

      • Mogg says:

        No, that’s only after they bring in the proposed Internetz filter. We can still use it for a while.

        • Michael says:

          When is that supposed to come into effect?

          • Mogg says:

            Unknown at this stage, and I can’t find even a proposed timeline. That is likely to be partially because we are approaching a federal election, and new laws would have to be passed to make it legal. That is apart from the issues of technical difficulty, effectiveness, privacy, government secrecy and censorship, and personal freedom which have caused even the US government to voice their concern. There’s a summary of the issues on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Australia

            Unfortunately, the “think of the children!” cry is incredibly strong in Oz, so the current federal government will continue to push it if they win the election unless it becomes very obvious that it’s not technically feasible (which is possible). I’m not sure what the current opposition position is, but given the people currently in charge of the Liberals I suspect they think it’s a wonderful idea if it can be implemented.

      Jesus is everywhere up here unfortunately, but I’ve met a surprising number of freethinkers, too.

BTW, I am tagging meself as anti-theist so as to totally piss off all my conservative teabagging evangelicfal family and friends. Good times!

    • Hey Oblio, I was thinking of pulling a Hemant Mehta and going to Saddleback for a service and even letting them know I was coming. I just don’t want them to get a cent of my money in the process, do you have to pay admission like Disneyland?

    for us “foreigners”, vant you people from USA spell out the state-names instead of writing NE, FL, OH. I have no idea what you mean! And if you dont write the US-part i would think you came from the Netherlands when you say NE and Finland when you say FL.

    Northern New York, right up top along the St. Lawrence River, USA. (Clarification necessary because most people seem to think “upstate” or “northern” NY is Albany.)

    • Kodie says:

      I used to live in Plattsburgh, I know what North Country is. :) I could not spend my life there, not much to do unless you like a whole lot of nothing or easy travel to Montreal.

  127. Billy says:

    This is by far the best post so far. Born in Fort Myers, Florida, moved to Norfolk, Virginia at 8, now living in the buy-bull belt of Hertford, NC. All of these are in the USA of course. Only liberal and atheist to be seen for hundreds of miles, I’m expecting to be taken captive eventually O_o

    Atheists are really easy to come by around here, but the US being our neighbor, I feel uneasy about all the fundamentalists there.

    Bismarck, North Dakota. Geographically, it is very nice, but the culture here drives me batshit crazy. I could rant on forever, but the worst thing is probably the Native American/White divide…it makes me sad. Nobody talks about it, but the tension is screaming in the background.

    Most of my adult life was spent in Fargo/Moorhead though. I really do love that town, it is culturally diverse and most people (that i knew anyway) embraced this fact. Although the Freethinkers still can’t seem to get those damned 10 commandments off the city-owned property.

    • ironflange says:

      I managed to visit Bismarck once, many years ago. It seemed like a pretty nice town. We toured that big concrete block, the State Capitol. and were amazed at the gorgeous woodwork all through the interior.

      Oh, btw, I’m in Calgary, Alberta.
