Why are questions asked here normally generalized to the USA most of the time...or am I wrong?

That's just because the americans like to think they own everything and they think they are the best, when they aren't.

Interesting, I've heard this said of all Germanic/English peoples, not just Americans. \n\n--- When did you stop beating your wife? ---\n\nThat's the type of question that you asked. You assumed one premise when asking. This premise is not defendable unless you, the asker defends it. You also use a pretty universal grouping. You assume all Americans are alike.\n\nI am an American, and I have a wicked, sometimes wet and gushy, sometimes dry and sarcastic sense of humor. Therefore, your premise is not valid.

It is precisely because of 'Josh's" answer that so many in other foreign countries dislike us. There is no need to be so defensive! I notice the same tired rhetorical attitudes, and that is exactly what they are. If we are so great, we needn't get so pee' oood\nwhen someone asks a legitimate question about US policies. The questioner is correct.Most in this country are warn and friendly. Jews are still caught up in the Holocaust and want everyone else to be also. \nBut they are wrong. We are all familiar with the Holocaust, just as we are familiar with other atrocities that have happened before us and those that are happening now.\nMost of the questions are legitimate. No one is constrained to answer if they find questions offensive. Its too bad there aren't more open minded people on board here.

Is it our right to question/challenge? or is it our duty? What do you really think our leaders do with all of the insults that are thrown their way? Do they go home and seriously contemplate about whether the people have a point? Or do they stand up and dust themselves off and blow off the criticism completely? Are we really heard? Or do we just gain satisfaction knowing we've had our "say?" \n\nOk thank god I didn't get deducted 5 points for each of those questions I just asked!!\n\nI guess my point is......yes, it is just par for the course. And people will say what they want to say and I suppose the ammendment to the constitution gave us that right. And if this is stated in our constitution, how could that possibly be unpatriotic or Un-American?? \n\nDoes it do us much good in the long run? *shrugs* Probably not.....but it is a right given to us by our forefathers. So have at it!! :) \n\nEnjoyed your question! I have a similar question posted on my profile.....would love your opinion. :)

Ya amen to that.\nEvery question asked on here is either something retarded that is asked by someone that just has nothing better to do with their time, or its something you could easily look up on yahoo or google yourself, they are just too lazy.

No, I'll assume what I want, and if I'm wrong I'm wrong. It's not meant to be insulting. Like if I was in Europe and someone asked me if I was american when I'm Canadian, even though I don't care for the states I wouldn't be offended by the person. People make mistakes. It's not a big deal.

I believe it is because so many questions come from USA where most people are religious, go to church and are puzzled by what information they receive there.  Clearly their concerns are not answered by their priest etc.  In Australia only 1% of the population attends church regularly so there is not the concern about religious matters, and therefore not the steady flow of questions of this type

Yes, there's quite a lot of us from the UK, although we don't all still LIVE there, some of us are in other countries now!\n\nThe UK link at the bottom is a bit of a waste of time ... the questions are still the same .com ones!!!\n\nAnyway, lots of people ask questions like "For Brits only - what does this mean ...??" so just go ahead and post those Qs!!

When you are trying to ask a question the system is also looking at the same time if the question has been asked by someone else earlier. That helps in getting the asker instant access to the answers to the question already asked. Incase your question is different from the 19,000 stored than you would have your own set of answers. I dun think the guys at Yahoo are fool enough to keep their memory full for questions which would not used again. It has a reason and a very good one.

Some people say that since there is a Central, South, and North America, people in the US aren't the only Americans. It is annoying because we have been called Americans forever, and I don't know why this word is popping up now.

You CAN specify the country/region you want answers from. Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to that and will answer it from countries or regions other than where you asked to reply.

I'm really not getting this regional thing.  I'd rather hop between boards anyway - a bit of answering in the US, a bit in the UK etc.  Otherwise we really are just limiting the culteral richness that is currently so abundant in Yahoo!Answers.

why do non Americans ask stupid questions...? not all of them  of course...
211323
Its kind of annoying, yes. I always add in my answers, okay no, I am not from America.\nPeople, its not just Americans who know English, there are loads of other Asian, African, European citizens who are well versed with English language.

Many of the answers chosen by the asker are not correct...they are just in agreement with the asker.  Put it to a vote!  And, yes, this question is relevant.

I'm beginning to think that many of these people, especially the non-native speakers, seem to think that "special" indicates the "other" category, or that the particular question is a "special" one (kind of like the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live... "Now, isn't that special?...lol!).\n\nThere are also many people, especially the kids asking for homework help, that just may not pay much attention to which category they're selecting.\n\nIt does get annoying though, doesn't it?

I think that Yahoo feels that if you live in one of those countries, you might benefit more from asking questions in those sites.\n\nIf you need to use a different site, I don't think anyone will care.  It is more for your covenience.
