Why is it that international question appear on the US answers forum?

There is nothing worse that clicking on a question, reading the whole question, then realizing it is from another country.

Why do these questions from the UK or India appear on the US version of answers?

Update:

Thank you Yahzmin! I did not realize that.

I do not want the questions from other countries only because the money issues, business rules, tenant laws, etc are different than those in the US. There is no use in answering a question from another country as their laws and rules are different from the US and I would not be giving them the correct answer.

Don't read into my question that I am offended by other people. I just don't want to waste my time and provide incorrect answers based on being in a different country.

    ALL English questions are available on ALL English programmed sites. The US questions show up in UK and India, and vice versa. YOU as the user have the option to see questions only from YOUR site, though. On the left, near the bottom, just choose the option 'US Questions Only' instead of "All English Questions". You may need to do this each time you sign in, as it may not 'hold' this option, though.

    Why does it bother you to answer questions from people outside the US?

    This is English-speaking Y!A ... and yes, you'll see questions from all countries that speak English.
