Why do people consistently say "my country" when it's just as easy to say "Denmark" or "Croatia" or what have you.

- throwawayaway 12y agoYou'd be surprised how small the tech industry is once you get down to national level in Europe.
- mantas 12y agoAs @throwawayaway mentioned, some people may be worried about privacy. Many European countries are truly that small. I myself have my location in my profile, so obviously this is not the case :) By saying that it's my country, I don't have to add if I just heard about it from my colleague, friend, read on a blog or have first-hands experience. I could say "my country (name-of-the-country)" to make it more clear though. But in this case the exact country doesn't matter much. Thus I put in the necessary information only.
