Why are most questions and answers mainly US and Canadian ones?

Hey there fellow Brit, I am Scottish and am therefore supposed to hate the English more than any other nationality. But it's ok I don't! \nI am fairly new to yahoo answers but have also noticed that most users are american but that is probably because there are many more americans than british. \nI really noticed this when i wanted to see who had been asking questions about big brother over the last few days and could only find people talking about an 'all stars' house. From what I gather- previous bb stars are going in to a house together across the pond. \nGood luck finding more Brits!\n:)

Because Canadians are - on average - just that much smarter than Americans, and therefore adjusted their academic scoring system to reflect that.\n\nIf you doubt me on this - just look at your president !

I will definitely take your side on this question, listen...Yes, the Continent is called "North America" and it is included.  Anyway the U.S.A has been so dominant since "white people" have taken over the country and that may be why and EVERYBODY HEAR THIS:  The white people that say "I am half American and half English(U.K) are not.  The so-called "Americans are actually most of them are descendants from Britain and most of Europe.  Listen to this one.  What are "Native Americans"?  That's right, they are Indians, which means that most of the ones that consider themselves white Americans are actually European and here is another the term "WHITE PERSON" ranges from now..U.S.A, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe including Russia.  And yes about the government, the decisions they make do affect us, for instance(please don't hate me for speaking the truth) The War that we are in, in my opinion it is made a bigger deal than it should be and it is affecting us in one example by using up money and jacking the gas prices way up, so if I tried to FULLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION, it would be too long to try to read and if you want me to give you a full answer modify detail on your question and I will make it able to contact me.

Canadians know more about America than Americans know about Canada. This makes sense because America is a superpower, therefore U.S. culture is so ubiquitous. I'm an American and know a lot more about Canada than most Americans. The Canadian Prime Minister is Stephen Harper. Paul Martin came before him. Jean Chretien came before Martin. Canadians are generally more liberal. They allow gay marriage. They have very few restrictions on abortion. Attempting suicide is not illegal there. Canada is officially bilingual. The Queen of England is the head of state i believe. Everything is in metric. They have less violent crime. Canada has universal healthcare.

Why should we be annoyed? English is not the only language in the world! Nor is it the most widely spoken.\n\nI notice that you have asked at least one question in a language that befits your name, which is a very pretty French one.\n\nI suspect that you are playing Devil's Advocate ;)

Cause Canadians are nerds.

If your question is how many people are Americans I am an American, I live in The United States, now Yahoo questions in English is for everyone who speak and read English, in the UK in Ireland, Canada or anywhere the English language is spoken, after all we are all residents of the same planet, we can't go nowhere, we are trapped here in this earth, so let's share our English..☺

Perhaps because most of the users are from the United States. And U.S. citizens appear to be mostly interested in their own country. Or perhaps it's because the U.S. is the sole superpower, and also seem to lead the world in cultural exports?

Why is it becoming increasingly difficult for questioners to pose clear questions, instead of vague questions?\n\nIf you talking about free flow between countries, virtually all countries control immigration.  So the difficulty is not increasing.

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.

Because American citizens are rude and demanding.  If European people can tell the difference between a Canadian and a American by talking to them, the there is a problem.  They don't want you to stop existing, just to shut-up.

there are taxes on imported magazines, I think \n\nIt's to preserve canadian content\n\n... and there's much less people in Canada

Because we like meddling, in a nice way of course.  Yahoo Answers allows us to give our 2 cents worth and it's up to the person who asked whether it's usable or not.  We're also not judged by our answers.  \nAnonymity also allows us to ask questions that we probably wouldn't dare ask people we know.

Because the USA's name actually has the word America in it. I.E. The United States of America. Someone from Canada is known as Canadian, so on and so on. It would be silly to call us "Staters" or something like that. When referring to the whole North American continent people often refer to everyone as "North Americans".

Because no one here is really native to this land, other than the true Native Americans.  I answer, Canadian - but I can break it down even more than that.  Many people have parents that are from the 'old country'.  I think these questions are asked to learn more about where someone's last name comes from, but more so, just a friendly and non-intrusive way to carry on a conversation.  \n\nOh and on a side note, thanks for your best answer rating - I find you all over the place 'out here'  perhaps you could write to me?

As an American born Canadian, I can tell you that I met equally nice Americans as well as Canadians.  I don't think we're any nicer. \n\nAs for Canadians being snobs about Americans, I actually believe it's true.  I love being Canadian but (and I admit it's a generalization) we define our national identity as being "not" American. I can only imagine that New Zealander's feel the same way about Australians.
