1.Only in America.....do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
2.Only in America......do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. !
3. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
4. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
5. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight
6. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'
7. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.

PASSÈ DOES NOT APPROVE OF COPY-PASTA. I hate Italians. >:C
1. Cigarettes have to be watched by licensed cashiers(you can't sell them without having to go through a
lovely process) and cannot be placed in a regular isle. The Pharmacy portion of the store is at the back so a drive-thru window can be placed easily.
2.

Oh really?
3. ...If the doors were closed how would the customers get in?
4. Would you rather have the useless junk in the driveway or filling a landfill?
5. Talk to the packaging company
6. Oh, you're witty.
7. ...Is that an insult, or are you just trying to be smrt?
America is quite there, thank you.

You have to decide that for yourself, I'm afraid.

That's only because it's cheaper and more efficient to manufacture the keys all together rather than making a special batch JUST FOR drive up ATM's...has nothing to do with American idiocracy

Something from the Fast Show that I absolutely love, the gag is that the guy can never voice his own opinion and always goes along with whatever his two friends and the landlord say, which are always opposing views...
Guy: "They should hang those criminals!"
Landlord: "Like America"
Guy: "Exactly!"
Landlord: "They have the death penalty"
Guy: "Exactly!"
Landlord: "And the highest murder rate in the world"
Guy: "Exactly, it doesn't work, does it?"

Since California is in America and I was born in California(still living in too)..I would like to add this from my blog.
I'M CALIFORNIAN, THAT MEANS...
-I'm mexican or live next door to one
-Our chicks & dudes are WWWAAAYYYY hotter than yours
- I say "like, for sures, right on, dude, totally, peace out, hella" and I say them often
- I know what real cheese & avocadoes taste like
- I don't get snowdays off because theres only snow in Mammoth, Tahoe and Big Bear
- I can wear sandals all year long
- I go to the Beach - not "down to the shore"
- I know 65 mph really means 80
- When someone cuts me off, they get the horn and the finger and they accept it and give it back, because that's the Californian way
- The drinking age is 21 but everyone starts at 14 (legally 18 if you live close enough to the border)
- My governor can kick your governors ass
- I can go out at midnight
- I might get looked at funny by locals when I'm on vacation in their state, but when they find out I'm from California I turn into a Greek GOD
- We don't stop at stop signs... we do a "california stop"
No cop no stop baby!
- I can get fresh and REAL Mexican food 24 hours a day
- All the TV shows you "other" states watch get filmed here
- We have In-N-Out (Arizona and Vegas are lucky we share that with them)
- I have the most representation in the House of Representatives, which means MY opinion means more then yours, which means I'm better than you
- The best athletes come from here
- We get Hyphy
- We go dumb
- We get stupid
- UCSB is in the top ten party schools
- Chico was formerally the Number one party school but when Chuck Norris couldn't take it, partying went down

I live in North Carolina. We watch a big acorn drop on New Year's Eve, and my teacher can't get treatment for her spleen because medical coverage down here costs too much. Yay, 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.
