Ten things I like about America!

[Skyrad 0]

1) Americans always ask me if I've met the queen.
2)Americans always ask me if I know their friend 'John' from London 'Yea, he's got black hair'
3) Hollywood films, America have made some great ones.
4)The OC (Some cute chicks in that) and CSI
5) Rib eye steaks (Yum)
6) Patriotism (Not enough of it over here)
7) The sunny Florida weather
8) The friendly open people
9) The way everyone calls you Sir, even if they look like they're about to kick you back onto the plane to London.
10) The Dropzones

I think you might be onto something here Jamille, whenever someone posts something of a slur about another country, they should also have to give a valid good point.
An unofficial rule to keep the hate (and counter hate)level down a little.

EG Dubbya is a fool, but Krispy Kreme Donuts taste good.

This way we have balance kinda like ying and yang.

Does he have black hair?

"So do you know my friend John? "

Your friend John?
Dark hair?
British guy, knows a bit about physics?
I think he moved to Chicago or thereabouts a while back.
Most folk know him as Kallend.

(2,3,4,7,8,9) keep trying, I think he meant it - I'll replace those six:

2 - Have you seen some of the women? Pretty hot and not ashamed of having big boobs.

3 -We had a war with them a little over 200 years ago and now they are our best allies. Stupid to be caught up in ancient history when today counts

4 - British humor - 'nuff said. Once you get it, it's hard to appreciate lesser forms

7 - We speak 'nearly' the same language - no translators required

8 - That little guy from the tough part of London can fight like nobody's business.

9 - It's a world power in the size of a state.


{{Nope, not as fun as being confrontational and difficult}}

Dude, relax. It was all in good fun.

Number three and four are what we call self deprecating humor. This country has a horrible reputation for suing everything that moves (unfortunately not an unfounded one)

Also, apparently, some brits like to think all americans are cowboys (not a bad thing) that are violent (bad thing).

I have to admit, I did leave out the vast amount (relative to US) of wonderful architecture.

As to number two... What? I loved my visit to London and Britain just fine. Especially the part where I left and went to Scotland.

I take it you didn't go to Motherwell or Glasgow. You might have wished yourself back in London.

Or better still, Cambridge.

Since when do northern women like a hint of Jersey mixed with a touch of ya'll?

It's entertaining. You're just mixed up as to which accent should be the one you utilize.

The y'all makes women weak at the knees...the Jersey accent makes them think "WTF?"

You know I've actually never tasted a Krispy Kreme Donut in my life. Nor have I ever stepped foot in a K-Mart. I have to start living the American life!

What I like about London is they just throw their trash anywhere and nobody cares.
