6 of 9.

If you replace “live in” with “born in” then 8 of 9 (I was born in Boston, but moved).

No pets.

83

I got six of nine (I’d rather have Seven of Nine, but whatever.)

Yeah, I’m a tiny minority here, one of them dumb-ass rednecks that lives in the sticks. It’s two miles from my house to a paved road and the nearest neighbor, eight miles to a gas station and 25 miles to a Wal-mart.
I’ve got me this kick-ass 24kbs internet connection. Plus a shotgun, rifle, four-wheel drive and some horses and cattle.

Fate decreed that I make a trip through Atlanta to Charlotte this past weekend. That trip left me feelin’ sho-nuff sorry for all you smart urban folks, with your locked doors, candy-ass rules and traffic jams.

Sometimes me and the missus go six or seven days without seeing another human being. You have no idea how nice that is.

84
  1. White: Yes, if this includes Jews.
  2. Heterosexual: Nope.
  3. Over 20 but under 40 years old: Nope.
  4. Live East of the Mississippi in the USA: Nope.
  5. Live North of Kentucky and Virginia in the USA: Yup.
  6. Have at least some college education: Yup.
  7. Speak English as a first (if not only) language: Yup to first, nope to only.
  8. Own a pet: Yup.
  9. Don’t smoke: Yup.
85

5 of 9

I’m gay, Australian and petless. (But not necessarily in that order.)

86

Well, if we take out the US Geographic thing, I meet all the criteria except pet ownership (and we’d have a cat if the landlord would let us!).

That’s rather interesting- I’m a white NZer (now NZ/Australian) and I hate being called a “Pakeha”, even when I lived there…

87
  1. [del]White[/del] Ethnic Chinese
  2. Heterosexual
  3. Over 20 but under 40 years old
  4. [del]Live East of the Mississippi in the USA[/del]
  5. [del]Live North of Kentucky and Virginia in the USA[/del] Singapore!
  6. Have at least some college education
  7. Speak English as a first (if not only) language
  8. Own a pet
  9. Don’t smoke

Yep. That’s about it. As for any other minorities… hmm… tea drinker? I think we have a pretty good mix going, though, as far as non-race/location goes… not representative of the world at large, and perhaps more left than the majority of the US, but a rather good mix nonetheless.

88
  1. White - pinkish, actually. Apart from the sunburned bits.
  2. Heterosexual - I believe so, but I’ve never been put to the test.
  3. Over 20 but under 40 years old - only just!
  4. Live East of the Mississippi in the USA - not in the USA.
  5. Live North of Kentucky and Virginia in the USA - but not in the USA.
  6. Have at least some college education - yes.
  7. Speak English as a first (if not only) language - Yep
  8. Own a pet - no pets yet (the house isn’t suitable).
  9. Don’t smoke - Yep.

Not bad.

As for my Dopish minorities:

A - I’m not American
B - I’m a virgin, probably the oldest virgin on the Dope.
C - I have a net positive view of Margaret Thatcher.
D - I continue to support the invasion of Iraq (but I don’t support the occupation).

89
  1. No - Hispanic
  2. Yes - Heterosexual
  3. Yes - 21
  4. No
  5. no
  6. Yes
  7. Yes - only English
  8. Own a pet
  9. Don’t smoke

4) Live East of the Mississippi in the USA yes
5) Live North of Kentucky and Virginia in the USA yes
6) Have at least some college education no

8) Own a pet no
9) Don’t smoke yes

O.K., five out of nine. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing but; whatever.

Ha. I totally had to look at a map before I could answer the geographical questions. I’m stoopid.

91

Well, you have me pegged. I fit them all.

92
  1. Yes
  2. Yes
  3. Yes (33)
  4. No. I’m in Southern California.
  5. No. SoCal is decidedly south of KY and VA.
  6. Yes…and I’ll finish my MA next spring.
  7. Yes (though I’m functional–but by no means fluent–in Spanish)
  8. Yes (boy howdy: 2 cats, 2 horses, 2 snakes, a dog, and a 45-gallon aquarium)
  9. Yes (er, as in “Yes, I don’t smoke.”)

Just goes to show as I’ve said before…MAN am I boring.

93

Five out of nine.

94

8 of 9. As much as I try, I still smoke.

95

8 of 9. I don’t have any college education. In fact, I barely have any high school education. Other than that - spot on.

96

I’m a solid 9 out of 9. I can’t think of any minority category I would fit into, even religion, which was neglected on the original list (raised Lutheran, currently nonpracticing vaguely Protestant).

Actually, what about height? I’m 5’2". And I’m guessing I would be near the low end of weight.

97

8 out of 9, and only because I don’t fit in the under 40 catagory any more. I did when I started on the dope, though.

98
  1. Asian
    4-5) I’m in Seoul, Korea right now (and was for most of the summer) but I’m leaving for PA on Friday so… It’s kinda iffy
  2. English is technically my second language
  3. I don’t have a pet in PA…
  4. I smoke
99

9 for 9…

well except I’ve exepted certain bisexual tendenecies and while I take care of cats my pet was killed in a fire from which I saved the rest of my family (which means my mom and her cats). Does that make me more interesting? Please say yes.

It’s a tricky thing here in NZ. Some don’t like “Pakeha”, others don’t like “white”, still more don’t like “NZ European”. I, personally, am all three, and palagi besides.

Oh, and I only get 5 outta 9. Me bein’ foreign an’ all, no pets (at the moment), dropped out of varsity and I’m an old fart of nearly 43. :slight_smile:
