I haven't voted because I'm assuming that the poll refers to typical or static biases and if there are any I see them as transient, often specific to one thread or a few or occurring in posts across the board on a particular day or night. We're all individuals and we all have our biases, as has been stated previously, which are relative to our interests and life experiences. Some people post only in specific areas of the board, others in different areas, some across the board, some post more than others, and I also feel that even the people posting varies so much from day to day. The only real bias which I feel is static is a pro-American bias which isn't at all nationalistic or patriotic, but occurs simply because the majority of posters are in fact Americans and are relating to subjects from their own native perspective. This is noticeable because of the isolationist nature of American culture and society in general. This actually makes the boards quite a useful resource in learning quite a bit about American culture and society in ways which you don't quite find from watching 'The Simpsons' or 'Hill Street Blues'.
