What is wrong with you Brits?

Post by desiv » Tue Aug 04, 2009 4:17 pm

I mean, I like video games quite a bit too, but:

Frankly I think British women are hot. Especially redheads with heavy accents. Grrr.

Actually... I think most women are hot... has something to do with my utter fail to attract any type of women >_>

On an entirely unrelated note, I was watching the news earlier and it was something about the US health service and how it may end up like the UK NHS.

There was this American guy interviewed who looked seriously pissed about this and he went

"HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT THE BRIT'S TEETH LOOK LIKE?!?!?!"

Many Americans, I'll be nice and mot say most, are kept ignorant of other countries. This is done by both the govt and the press. We are taught in school that America is the best country and everyone else is trying to be like us. Since the rise in personal computer sales and the internet more and more are learning to educate themselves. However there are still tons that only use the web for games and porn. If every one of us used the internet to educate ourselves manufactures of high fructose corn syrup could only make sales to soda companies and Denmark would have an immigration problem. ^_^

Yes America is better than many countries, but those are mostly third-world countries. lol

interesting argument - a friend of mine (American) described it like this -

Most Americans view the rest of the world as a freak show , not realising that the rest of the world thinks that America is the real freak show.

Its a question of education - in our country we suffered an iferiority complex for many years - constantly being reminded that the rest of the world is better than us - TV actually helped changed that and now we are as egotistical and annoying as everyone else! - yet still we ask the question of tourists - so what do you think?

Well Australia was originally made up of inmates, so it's expected that even after becoming independent that member of a certain country would try to keep you thinking in that kind of mindset. Similar to Sicily.

Much like you, we rebelled against the ruling country across the ocean. For a long time, before and after the revolution, we were told that we were a lesser people. In fact a little over 35 years into being our own country our capital was attacked and the white house was burnt almost to the ground. They don't bring that up much in our history books. But we were always defiant, and telling ourselves that we don't deserve what they try to give us set a pattern.

As more immigrants came there was a boom with people with ideas that would be either ignored or ridiculed over in their home countries, where here we would say, "try it, if it works than it will sell". With so many new and great things popping up all over America more people in other nations started to talk and we got a big head. Now in America we are constantly being reminded, by ourselves, that we are better than the rest of the world. :/

I've seen what Americans do to fried eggs. It's un-natural.

You know, after following some of these threads, I can totally see how Duelin' Firemen would really have been a perfect 3DO game...

Hmmm. The force is strong with some of you. But here goes.

How much pepper is required on a regular (sunny side up) fried egg?

1. 1 shake.
2. 4 shakes.
3. 10 shakes.
4. Dump the whole pot.

This could be just a Texas thing...

Ok, this could be bad....
Very bad...

I have a bit of a reputation, and I'm the worst I know at it...

I have been known to take off the cap from the pepper shaker because it's obvious that the holes are too small to get any good quantity of the best seasoning on this planet, and likely all of them...

:oops:

But most people I know are much more... sparse shall we say...

But that's what seasoning's are for!!!!

I mean, you add salt to your ketchup right? Otherwise it doesn't stick as well to the fries??

desiv

p.s. In all honesty, it's between 3 and 4. And I mean it's between option 3 and option 4. :D

Eggs are gross, only people like you would want to eat a chicken fetus.

LOL actually I'm starting to like them now, scrambled with a dash of salt, nothing else.
