Voted for Poland.

I don't even know why I do this to myself at this point.

I seem to be able to vote again. So now I have picked a country, in addition to staring in disbelief.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I reset the poll right after finishing it, in an attempt to preserve the ability to change votes while still fixing my inevitable typos. Sadly, this did not preserve vote changing functionality.

If this can be done using scripts with bots, then you find a way to crash the forum.

Currency is not excessive, but a necessity.
The stark assumption:
Individuals trade with each other only through the intermediation of specialist traders called: shops.
Nelson and Winter:
The challenge to an evolutionary formation is this: it must provide an analysis that at least comes close to matching the power of the neoclassical theory to predict and illuminate the macro-economic patterns of growth

If you mean that I did this with a script, no, I used no scripts or bots in the creation of this. I painstakingly copy/pasted all 204 entry names from Wikipedia's list of sovereign nations.

I think he means if you spam the form with a thousand threads like this or maybe make a thread with 18 billion options you might crash the thread.

Also, I voted for the USA, cause the only other place I have been was Mexico, and yeah no. Also everyone knows we are the bestest ever. I am surprised it is winning though, it seems the in thing nowadays is for people to hate the US and say they want to move to Canada/Sweden.

I think the more interesting thing is to know who picks countries other than their own.

As the description says, it's about your favorite and why. Obviously someone picking their own country has some bias, but I picked USA as well, in part because of the strong political freedoms here. I wouldn't be comfortable anywhere else on the planet.

Sealand is not a sovereign state, it's three lunatics living on an old sea fort.
