Pretty quiet here today, so I figured I'd make a thread to entertain myself while I'm at work, and maybe entertain a few of you. So nows your chance to ask me anything about how great America is, and why we're so much better than everyone else. Fire away!
I'm a registered independent. Fun fact, George Washington and the founding fathers openly claimed that political parties will ruin our country. Now only Democrats or Republicans are the only parties that get a sizable amount of money to back a candidate, so the little guys who often are actually great candidates will never have a shot of having any influence over the country.
Why is the C word so offensive in america? I said it while i was with my mate and about 5 people turned round and gave me an evil glance!
Most likely to make it seem more important. Also I'd imagine when the name "World Series" was coined, Major League Baseball was the only professional league.
hello. why dont you teach your soldiers to shoot the enemy and not the allies? why cant you talk or spell the queens english? why do you have a world series for teams in the usa? why do you think your comedy is superior to ours? and why do you think everything else about you lot is far superior to anybody elses?big egos/big cigars/big burgers/big cars.........big deal.we had 3/5ths of the world population dancing to our tune,even more than the romans.you lot however only rule yourselves,but believe you rule everyone.i thank you.
I have no clue! It's like the most offensive word you can call a women here. There really isn't anything they get more offended by. They also don't like the word moist.
1. We teach our military to shoot at the enemy. My opinion though, is when you look at the people who enlist in the military, the people who want to join (raised in a military family ect.) often go to one of the Academies and join as officers. The lower ranks of the military are often filled with people who had no other options. So people enlisted end up being mentally unstable or kids who aren't straight in the end and can't make out the difference between right and wrong. You also have to taken account for PTSD. 2. Why would we speak the Queen's English if we aren't ruled by the Quuen? Really though, we just speak a different dialect of English. People over here in California have different wordings than people from the south or people from the north east. 3/4. I covered the World Series already. Regarding the humor, many people here don't get the British humor. Maybe because it is often a bit more intellectual? It's really more of what people find funny. Different cultures find different things comical for various reasons. 5. Because bigger is better. We're better because we are! I think it has to do with the fact that we've been the most powerful nation since the industrial revolution tied with the hypocrisy involving our belief that everyone should be a democracy because we have it so good.
With rules of engagement like, if a roadside bomb goes off, kill everyone on the street. Apache pilots and drone controllers are all officers
I personally don't care. I have nothin to hide, and I mostly use the Internet for reading the news, sports stuff, researching stuff on technology, video games, and porn. I have nothing to hide. I understand people are upset that their privacy will be breeched and that our "freedom" is endangered, but they aren't taking anything away from us.
I'm not in the military, so I really can't say why they do the things they do, or why they implement certain rules of engagement. I know someone who was in the Navy and when he was stationed on the coast of Somalia he couldn't shoot unless he was shot at. That was the rule of engagement.
Most likely, you'll grab their attention just by talking, but you'd still have talk your way into their pants. They would enjoy listening to you talk lol.
