the thread would be more interesting if you titled it:
The official "What I Hate about the USA"
For those of us that live here, it would be a much shorter list ...

I think this clears up a few things in your posts. thanks. ;)
-
Hmm...
The fact that we have the right to free speech, as long as it doesn't involve god or offend any non-christians or studmuffins or muslims. Of course, if you aren't a christian, feel free to say whatever you want. Nevermind the fact that this country was established by christian folk for the same.
The fact that we are free to own guns, as long as those guns are accepted by the general public and aren't on the "banned" list, which grows bigger day by day.
The fact that we are free from unreasonable search and seizure... even though nothing is "unreasonable" now. At least according to the police and judicial system...
Need I go on?
yeah, land of the free, home of the brave... too bad the brave let it get this far down the toilet...
BUT it is still THE BEST place to be, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

LOL :)
It's a quote from a Russian pilot who defected to the USA during the cold war in 1976. In America one day he accidentaly bought some catfood, prepared as said and ate it. When told by friendfs thatb it was petfood, he commented that even American catfood was better than Russian human food. So much for the wonders of socialism.
I like that story very much, it truly says a lot. And clears things up, doesnt it?
Maslo where are you from?

Straffo, is your avatar "une grenouille"?
-
Monk,
It's pretty easy for us western europeans to go as visitor in the US.(being a white caucasian with no criminal/political record) It is waaay less easy for eastern europeans to do so. I think that's what maslo meant there.
There's nice countryside to be seen all aroud the world, except for west flanders... that it ;)
Beetle, it's not just a Frog... it's a genuine "Grenouille Vollante!!!"
-
Can there be a "what I don't love about the usa" too?
-
There's already about 10,000 posts of that.

Sure , a flying frog :)
To add a bit of explaination to what Saw said it's "Garulfo" the frog who didn't want to become a prince :D
and the Grenouilles volante was a squad Saw and I founded a while ago and now defunct.
It's extracted from a comic :

Well yes and no. If you're looking for history and culture, you might have to look further than the US. For example, how many of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World can be found in the US? Erm...., erm.... er.... well none, actually.
Of course, if you equate "having it all" with the availability of outlets like Wal-Mart and Burger King, there's nothing more to be said.
:lol:rolleyes:
-
The seven wonders of the world were judged even before America Existed. They don't count when talking about america.
But anyway, Guns, beer, women. In no particular order.

beetle..If we need to see old buildings we can take a plane form one of our airports. culture is way over rated.

Hehe! I was just yanking Lazs's chain. :) As for American guns/beer/women, I've tried them all. Beer definitely comes bottom of the list, except your microbrews - some of which are very good indeed. :aok As for Coors/Bud/Schlitz/Pabst etc., it's all piss. However, I used to drink Old Style in the old Chicago days - OK, but real hangover juice if you had too many. I remember sitting between 3rd and home at Wrigley Field, and getting my Old Style and hot-dog passed all along the line to me. Gawd, I did enjoy those days out at the baseball park. :cool:
Lazs! Culture overrated? It exists, and therefore must be experienced. :) Before you get on that plane, make sure you have a passport. :lol

except maybe that one where brown skinned naked young girls who don't speak english and giggle a lot bring you food and drink on the beach and fan you with palm leaves because your white skin makes you a god to them.... that one is ok.

I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner in three different countries on the same day. That was fun to do - once. :D
