What's it like?....

Oh wait..

Well. In the cities, the air smells bad, gas prices are ridiculous, and only 30% of the population can drive properly.
 
There's too many of "What's [insert country here] like?" threads.

But America is run by George Bush (who is dumber than a box), people are immigrating from all ways, crime rate is high, and we like to shoot/blow what ever the hell up, oh and we like foreign oil too.
 
Well, people eat larger portions of food on average, and like Rand McNally, americans wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people!
 
It's flippin' hot. I was out there shooting hoops and it was over 100 degrees. I went thru 4 bottles of water and propel. My saliva was getting thick and sticky........ wait a minute. This isn't the Weather Thread!.

People are generally easy going and friendly(obviously, I don't live in NY). Scenery is flatout amazing(in every way, yes, including that way). Food can be great to cardboard-like. Serving's huge.

I will add more later.
 
It really depends where you are in the United States. Let me describe the Midwest.

We get into arguments with people from Chicago about our "accents" and of course the typical "pop" vs. "soda."

High schoolers (and even some that are out of school) hang out in parking lots all night. There's a fight every few nights or so.

Hot summers and cold winters.

(American) football is a way of life. Especially in the smaller towns.

Corn fields, bean fields, and cows.

Everyone drives truck or an oversize SUV. There's typically one or two people in the vehicle at any given time.

The bigger your tires are, or the muddier your truck is, the cooler you are.

I'm getting the hell out of here soon and moving to Australia. I hear there are kangaroos and they eat barbecue 3 meals a day.
 
Its really pretty damn cool at times. A lot of stuff happens here.. uhh we got lots of things to go see and do, and a lot of cool people live here. And we have awesome music, great cars, and a president that is an idiot

I mentioned that already. :dunce:
 
In the south, life is very easy-going. Down here it seems as if folks are just alot more friendly than any other part of the US. Its common place to have someone hold open a door for you or to start a conversation with a complete stranger. Down here we dont care too much for Northerners because IMO they constantly try to stereo type us as backwards, and that all the whites are terrible rednecks are racists. Which like most stereotypes are not true.

The food is good depending on where you go but it can become bland if you do not diversify you eating choices. Portions are indeed huge. The people are often huge aswell and it seems as if a slim girl is becoming more and more of a diamond in the rough.

Where I live I am right in the foothills of the Smokey mountains which provides one of the best driving roads in the world which is Deals gap.

Also compared to anywhere else in the US Real Estate is dirt cheap here.

So the Family Guy references to the South aren't true?

I have a friend that goes to school in the South, and he loves it. Sounds like a nice place. I think I'm moving north after college though. I love the cold.

Edit: Who am I kidding? I'm going to be stuck in Illinois my whole life...
 
well dont get me wrong doug, there are part of the south I dont ever want to go. But the region for the most part has come along way since the George Wallace days.

So the Family Guy references are true? (at least somewhat?) :lol:

"Met her on my C.B.
Said her name was Mimi..."

allright were not that bad. We have:

Shoes
Schools
Computers
Indoor plumbing
all the things you would expect out of any place in the america.

But in some parts we do lack grammar skills. But the south is like any other area lots of good people but a few bad/weird apples making us look bad.

Plus we have Peanut Brittle and memphis style BBQ:dopey:


EDIT: Also Down here its soda. Not soda pop, although some people down here simply refer to everything as Coke. I prefer not to talk to those people.
 
We actually have some good scenery here:
THE FLUME GORGE, Franconia Notch, NH

It's so freaking awesome! Like experiencing nirvanna.


Holy crap, I get high just thinking about it, and the image DOES NOT do it justice.
 
Paris, and at least a dozen more....Florence, Italy, and Turkey.
Hell, we even name our cities after other states....
Denver City, Colorado City, Missouri City, Nevada City, even a Texas City, Texas.

We even have Gun Barrel City, Texas. And when that's done, you get Post, Rice, and even Ransom Canyon....

We are quite the odd bunch without these names too.
 
Wait, what do you mean "What's America like?"

It's not like there is anything else in the world.

EDIT: Oh yea, crime sucks, everyone likes to kill each other, and steal stuff. Moped stealing is big.

You know, how come you're asking that question when you live there? You'd think someone in the UK or in Australia would ask that question. :dunce:
 
In america there are lots of americans. And lots of mexicans, I cant go buy something at the supermarket without searching for the english side, and pringles have two diffrent cans, one english, one spanish. There are alot of people who drive vehicles that are way to large, and lots of fat people. There are places that you can go and not see another person in days, and places you can go where you cant manage to get away from people. America is in no way "the best country in the world" and I hate you if you think it is. Canada is out largest supplier of oil yet they pay higher prices than we do. Farmers are becoming angry for some reason, and republicans and democrats are angry for some other reason. The green party is sitting in a corner waiting for the downfall of america so they can take over. Hiliary clinton thinks she can become the next president, and bill is alright with that. The largest producer of non-latex baloons is about 1/2 mile away that makes me feel special, but I'm not. The air is hot and muggy, unless it is winter then the air is fridged and freezing my boogers. Cars wont start in the winter, yet we are loosing snowfall every year, pretty soon the only place you can ride your snowmobile is on the fake snow at the ski places, and they get pretty pissed at you for doing so. You cant drink until you are 21 and you get a big insurance break at that age, which makes absolutly no sence to me. Your parents own your a$$ till you are 18 and they love it, as soon as you leave they get all sad and wonder why you left so soon. College tuition keeps going up, and the year that I graduated they made the SAT bigger and more important. The only way to have money is to be born into it, to win the lottery, or to sue mcdonalds because you have no self controll and got fat from eating that crap non-stop, and then to top that you were supprised that you did get fat. Lawyers and judges are slimey creatures, only looking out for who signs their pay checks. Skinney people think they are fat, and fat people think they are skinney. Short people want to be tall, and tall people want to be short. The only place where America doesnt drive you crazy, is if you are dead, or already crazy. If you are already crazy then america is perfect for you. There are so many stupid laws that no one knows that you could be arrested for taking your garbage out to late, or for peeing in the woods where no one can see you. Marijuana seems to be a "killer" "gateway" drug, yet alchohol yeilds more deaths a year than pot does, can anyone explain this? Superman does not exist, nor does smallville or metropolis. Spiderman does exist but ever since that whole mary jane leaving him for doc oc he has become fat and lazy. Batman is not a real super hero(has nothing to do with america I just dont like batman, he has no powers, and likes to sleep with teenage boys in spandex). We call our selves the world champions of a sport which only two countries compete in. We spend millions and millions of dollars every year on crap we dont need, and most of the time dont really want. The soup is either too hot or too cold.

Well, technically, he doesn't live in the US anymore, so we don't give a crap. :D
I didn't know that. So, finally something went right under the President Bush's second term. :D
