To avoid confusion? :2 cents:

Heh, this is a fucking pet peeve of mine.

When fuckers DONT put the US on top of the form, and make you dig for it (even better are the ones that do stupid shit so you can't hit U on the keyboard to find it. Grrrrrr),

There is no excuse for an american company serving primary folks from the US to have it any other way. I can see if it's stuff that mostly is sold elsewhere, but rarely is that the case.

US & Canada should be at the top. How many people do you fucking think buy shit from afghanistan online? I'd be willing to bet most sites do 99% of their business to the US & Canada that are shipping tangible goods.

Hell, there are thousands of companies that refuse orders from countries other than the USA.

As to us being dumb, if we're so dumb, why then is it that we have all the money and technology? How come we never lose a war? Same reason we're at the top of the alphabetical list.

And the best thing is that when you want to sign up with a pay site, all countries are lised and accepted.. but when you try to join a program, your country may be left out.. what a coincidence.

I hate searching for it on a list.

Keep it at the top. :thumbsup
