what is it with them ?

i posted a request bout 3 weeks ago on an american forum for something i wanted being as precise as i could at the time they said they will get it done ASAP, while at the same time i posted the same request on an english forum with the exact same details and i got a reply from the english one a few days later and am still waiting for my request to be completed on the yank one so i just told the twats to shove it.

I got questioned when I went to yankie land on the grounds of...
TERRORISM! I know I have strong views but they were taking the p*ss!

My passport has lots of Egyptian visa's on it, because I work voluntary at a charity in Egypt. They were convinced I was some form of Islamic fundamentalist. I just made my flight, t*ssers!

Plus they were funny with me when I needed a doctor and refused to treat me for 10 hours in a hospital even though I was paying.

Never go back again.

Pretty Shambolic

Not a big fan of Americans, but you can't brand them all as one. It's a country of 300million, and it's extremely diverse. The stereotype of America that English media and TV portrays is mainly rural America. If you go to places like New York and California, it's entirely different... They understand that the world is much bigger than just America, and that America aren't the be all and end all, whereas the yokals in the middle tend to be slightly delluded. George Bush is a prime example of this.

Well i loved America and my brother lives there in LA

Chrissy Canadian

haven't been to baltimore, but i've been to new york 3 times, do most of my traveling up and down the west coast. its' very scenic

LynnT

New york is awsome.......but one of the coast roads from LA to santa barbara are just out of this world.....and the big sur!!!! well i was speachless

marc baltique

well tbf i'm not saying there isn't a percentage of the net population who aren't douchebaggists...

but i'd be willing to bet the same % applies to any nation.

and although i'm biologically 50-50 yank-anglo, culturally i'm probably 75% american.

the site yank bashers should be warned however.. i've spent many years in ingerland and know when pots are calling kettles black.

LynnT

i can see you are gonna fit in sooooo damn well here

marc baltique

sweet.
honestly though.. the atmosphere here is very welcoming. i post to this other footie related forum and once a day there is invariably some vicious slagging match.

that gets real old real quick.

i've only skimmed through the 'i bet this gets deleted' thread but as a newcomer i can say it doesn't really seem that bad. although i'm sure it is to the parties involved. all i can say on the matter is "where's the love people?"

ok now the touchy feely stuff is over...
et's have some PROPA yank bashing!!

LynnT

well i wouldnt say "bashing" but i think our Jo will be giving you a damn good poke

Hey-up

Only been to The U.S. twice and I ain't got a bad word
always seem friendly and helpful...

'Have a nice day' does get on your nerves at first but I got used to it and even returned the compliment

Yanks still don't understand irony
