The north isn't dripping with racism and hate like the south it. Basically, avoid the south, but there are good people anywhere you go.

you've never been to boston or detroit eh?

Bad?

Fuck it, avoid the US altogether, we eat our young.

Sure it is. More people in the North keep it to themselves though. They are only racist behind closed doors and with their "own kind".

oops, I'm the one who said that.

What shocks me (went to Atalanta) is how nievely obvious southerners are about saying n-gger or making jokes about that shit. And this coming from people who claim to NOT be racist. Homophobia is far more rampant and obvious everywhere. The south scares me, it is like that video.

how is geography tuition in US schools?
cause it seems that americans really have a problem with it.
not only the lower class ppl.

i guess it's got a little to do with US "ego" too. the rest of the world doesn't count much (that's the way i feel it anyway).
but then, there's this girl who doesn't think of the USofA as a nation that begins with a U, or this guy that says Utah.
it might have to do with geography lessons still.

nah, that "ego" you speak of is everywhere in the world.
no matter where yo go, people are dealing with their surroundings and just trying to get by.

I think the thing about that is that the US is physically isolated from the rest of the world, we don't get the easy exposure to other countries, Europe is just some place 'over there.' We have Canadian exposure but they're so like americans it doesn't count. Then there's Mexico, which is looked at like a bad neighborhood nobody wants to drive through, or they only to there for MTV party spring break.

Americans ARE stupid, and we have the bomb.

Oh my god dude. It's not funny but I nearly spit soda all over my monitor when I read that.

It's only March, but I think you just won quote of the year, in my book atleast.

i've got kind of mixed feelings about this kind of stuff, you know, taking advantage of people's openness just to take this piss and enforce some stereotypes. i'm sure if you threw a rock at the end of my street you'd hit someone who doesn't know what religion israelis are, or whether there's more than one korea or whatever. there's ignorance everywhere. most of my american friends make me feel stupid.

i still pissed myself laughing though...

yeah, but not every nation is the #1 in the world.


ok, let's not make this thread that was a joke into another US vs the rest of the world discussion. it's been done to death, and i know that the ppl on this board have more or less the same point of view.

let's talk about mac vs pc instead.

i'd still be interested to know if you americans feel you learned enough about geography at school.

There's nothing funny about Europeans.
