For our American friends

Post by whiteinfrance »

I have been watching youtube videos about american reactions as to how the USA screwed them up
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHcM5oYwJ28

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE2uphiDEvA

Although it doesn't come as a surprise, it never fails to amaze me how the richest country on the planet can't get it right.

Land of the free my arse!

I would be interested to hear our american friends' reactions and also that of our Donny lad who lives there

Did the reality not put him off living there?
YES!! I'm living in SCARBADOS!! Underneath the palm trees!

Yeah, gonna have to agree. There are no shortage of morons in this world, so best not to get into a debate about who are the biggest ones.

Whoever we are
Wherever we're from
We shoulda noticed by now
Our behavior is dumb
And if our chances
Expect to improve
It's gonna take a lot more
Than tryin' to remove
The other race
Or the other whatever
From the face
Of the planet altogether

They call it THE EARTH
Which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right
'Cause we behave the same...
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over,
Yes we are
Dumb all over,
Near 'n far
Dumb all over,
Black 'n white
People, we is not wrapped tight

I'll stand by my 26 year assertion that California - more precisely Palm Springs - is paradise compared to Donny. The climate and the way of life are head and shoulders above. I feel like I fell extremely lucky to randomly meet an American woman and find my way to a place I didn't know. Now the politics, extreme capitalism, and certain demographics are debatable. But I still love California, in spite of certain people.

That said, I do have some news that I'll disclose shortly which may seem counter to my USaphilia. But I can't say anything about it yet.
