We've got snow here in Sweden too :o
From people i know who've been to the US, most of the people you see walking on the streets are pretty obese. I mean sure, there are fat people everywhere in the world, but it's even more prominent in the US from what i've heard. Can't say i'm sure it's like that, but i wouldn't be too suprised.

I dunno. She just said it was hurting her like crazy the other day, and she needed to get it checked out... I wouldn't be surprised if Umbra took it and that's why she was in pain.haseoxth wrote:did umbra take her spleen?Kurana wrote:I live in North Carolina.

But everything on that guy's list, I don't think that's just here... I'm sure other countries have corrupt politicians and obesity issues, too. Maybe the obesity is more prominent here, but still.

Jack thompson-Ahh, sue me. I used your name in an unusual situation.

Chuck norris-He win's no matter what. he could be in the pit's of hell, trapped beneath the earth, or in the fartherst reach of space and still roundhouse-kick your ass.

Re: Only in america
1) Already previously explained. Cigarettes need to be behind the counter, with the cashier. I find something suspiciously amusing about this, but I won't address it till I get to a later number
2) A lot of people like the way diet coke tastes. I like the taste of Caffine Free Diet Pepsi over any other coke/pepsi product.
3)Banks also have security guards, video surveilance, and alarms placed all over them - Good job!
4)Uh, I'm glad you do that, because I certainly don't. The point is, though, that most people store useful things in their garage, like lawnmowers or tools. You can lock a car door and put an alarm on it.. but if you leave your spiffeh new lawnmower sitting out on the curb, someone will steal it.
5) Because everyone knows hotdogs and buns are made by the exact same company. Plus, there's this thing, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's called profit. If you were CEO of the company that makes the buns, I'm sure you'd see the profit in it too. <3
6) Wow.. how about no.
You want to break it down? Poly - Many / tic - silent. Though this is not the meaning of tic in this situation. Also, the animal.. is a tick, not a tic.
7) This is where I find the most irony. You critisize pharmacies for making "the sickly" walk to the back of the store to get their medicine from the drive-through counter.. but appearantly, you didn't realize the MAIN reason they put braile on ATM machines, is so that people can WALK to it!
Epic FAIL.
Why are people so randomly Anti-American? It seems incredibly insipid to me. If you think America and Americans are so ignorant, then move away.
I like living here =/
Sure the government is corrupt - but name one government that isn't.
