back from my holiday in america - thoughts !

[freespirit]

Americans are apparently stupid beyond belief yet Einstein here spells "welfare" as "wellfair". Guess faking intelligence through the use of Google only gets one so far.  

And you felt thin? You're morbidly obese by any country's standards.

Thank you for saving America.

I hate to say it because I like the country but seriously there are so many dumb fucks in the USA, loads of booksmarts and they can tell you the date that Ben Franklin last wiped his ass but anyone from the UK can run rings round 95% of them in a social/humor context, its almost embarrassing how slow the majority are to pick up on humor.I lived there for a short period and its really hard to find people who think as quick socially, why its always nice to meet Ukers there.

Depending on where you travel in any country you'll find idiots.if FP went to NYC,LA, or some big city he might have a different perspective.


....I've done alot of traveling and found rural Germans and the Japanese the worst to deal with.Brits have a great sense of humor,same with the Irish.

I met a lot of Brits in college around Boston, they are fun to hang around with. Asians were insecure for lack of a better word..always asking, "you know Korea?" "you like the country?"

LOL we dont care nearly as much about being social over here. we are strict individualists, borught up that way by our parents and by our public school systems. most every other country out there is drastically more collectivist, and thus more sociable.

scottish inventions have moulded the world chief !

you should look into that sometime. i have made a post about this before.
just to verify she was who she said she was i suppose.

it was pretty clear to me though she was no suicide bomber.  

Scotts invented only one good thing, The Glenlivet Scotch. And by the way, if you are going to call all of Americans stupid because of a few people you met, then I think you have bigger problems yourself.

Here's a Good Riddance from America Smartguy!

I mean talking to them in person.quick humor and like to joke around.

[dj181]

Brit humor can be quite brutal and vicious, very similar to some forms of jewish humor.

[StickStickly]

Wow. de Tocqueville-like insights. Oh brother.

Come on man, just look at the type of "humor" from the UK.  Monty Python and Benny Hill?  Highly the highest echelons of teh funny.

Ricky Gervais has his moments, i'll give him some credit, but he's nowhere near most American comedians.

[disco_stu]

I have to agree with you here.

This goes for America as a whole.

And yes, despite what people may tell you, America is a giant cesspool of retards with a few rays of light here and there.

x3.

been there a dozen times for a week or two each.

the homeless and the gap between the haves and have nots is shocking.

so to is the filth.

i remember being amazed on my first visit. i had expected to see a high standard of most things, such as infrastructure, hotels, roads, standard of living and so on.

i found that it was far below australia, UK, new zealand and south africa, and in many ways was behind malaysia and was closer to India than anything else.

You are an idiot.  Either that or you are comparing India to some ghetto you roamed into.  I have been ALL OVER europe and many other parts of the world and the US has an extremely high standard of living.  The avg homeowner on getbig in the US probably owns a house with 3x the square footage of one of your euro apts/flats.  Massive amt of food, most products are inexpensive, etc, etc...... 

And the first cardboard city of homeless I ever saw was in London....it was MASSIVE.....and i have never seen one like it here in the states, chief.

Every country has it's own problems. With 364 million people in the United States the ratio between homeless and rich are going to be pretty wide. This doesn't diminish the fact there is a homeless issue. The United States has always been the land of opportunity but over the last 20 years or so, the progressive Left has tried and successfully pushed the United States into an illegal immigrant magnet which has cause a lot of our problems with Homelessness and high unemployment. What I think is crap is the fact that ALL the other countries hold the United States to a higher standard but we can't do the same to other countries. I wish my country would hold the rest of the world at the standard that they hold us to. You would see a different outlook of the United States.

 Naive, brainwashed and stupid!

that's right my getbig fans. i have just returned from sunny Florida on vacation.

it was nice and warm - unlike Scotland has been this past month (icy cold)

i enjoyed it very much and would like to offer my thoughts on Florida and America as a whole.

1. the drivers are terrible - everyone talks on their mobile, everyone weaves in and out of traffic without signalling, they drive through red lights, and i actually saw a woman driving while talking on her mobile AND painting her toe nails !!!!! there was not a single day i was there that i didn't see a smashed car by the side of the road - no wonder.  
2. food portions are huge - anything you order, i specifically asked for a little steak at a golden corral and got what looked like the entire side of a cow on my plate. fries were piled so high they would fall off my plate as the waitress carried it over. also dirt cheap  
3. Americans are stupid beyond belief - i knew this already with my interactions here, but really do you even have an education system   at the airport the security guy made my 80 year old wheelchair bound grandmother wait for over an hour trying to get her fingerprints on some digital scanner that kept giving an error - the error was in fact with his brain as he didn't know his left from his right and kept scanning my grans left hand when it should have been her right and vice versa  
4. Spanish is actually the official language of Florida - i had no idea, everywhere i went, everyone i spoke to with a golden tan would reply with Ola ? por que ? and other things i had no clue about.
5. Latino women are hot hot hot - really really super sexy, friendly too.
6. white Americans have no dress sense - the sights i saw there were beyond belief. mullets are still a fashion trend it seems. women were all obese or skanky thin. pale pasty skin or dirty looking. dressed in cheap jeans and plain white t-shirts - either super baggy or skin tight   most of the fat ones had black guys as boyfriends.
7. black Americans will fuck anything - any shape, size, looks. they also talk very loudly, like they want everyone to hear what they are talking about. some were also not particularly friendly i was buying some shoes in a store and shonique asked me if i wanted insurance or something i told her firmly NO , she gave me this dirty look like ' oh no you didn't' and made a ugghhh noise. i thought perhaps i insulted her somehow, maybe by staring at her strange tall beehive hairstyle or her tits, or maybe in my stern clear tone ( which i have to because Americans cannot understand the Scottish accent sometimes) , so i was extra nicer to her and she seemed a little more happy ( although avoided all eye contact)
8. Americans are very confident and friendly in general - they will approach you and ask you things out of the blue, with no embarrassment - where are y'all from, where did you get that t-shirt, etc probably a Glasgow thing but we are very closed and not always approachable, so this was strange for me. in Glasgow if someone asks where you got your shirt - they are about to try to rob you.
9. your health care system is nothing short of a disgrace - overpriced robbery. my mother was in a car crash ( a driver drove through a red light at in intersection and destroyed her car) she was lucky to escape with her life. she sustained bruised ribs, a fractured spine and concussion. in total they ran a few scans, gave her some pain killer (vicodin and perceset) and on another occasion injected a medical cement into her spine - total cost $40000+ also she works and has health insurance, yet they still couldn't get her out the door quick enough just a few hours after the crash, calling her a taxi to take her home alone, even though she was still dizzy and weak. she told them she felt terrible and they forced her out - where she collapsed.   in Scotland she would have been scanned, given pain killers and operated on within the same timescale and it would be free. we also would not kick someone out of hospital who had just been in a major traffic accident, complaining of severe dizziness, headaches, pain and weakness. you need to really get over this irrational fear of socialised health care.
10. your welfare system - i was told if you are made unemployed you only get wellfair for 2 months - then you get nothing   i don't know how true this is as it seems crazy to me. perhaps some Americans can clarify this. while i hate the idea of people that have never worked a day in their life getting government handouts for life, the alternative to not getting anything after 2 months is barbaric. there are people who want to work, and apply for jobs regularly but simply cannot get a job - i have been there myself. what choice do people have except crime   they have to survive somehow?
11. - amazing gyms - planetfitness has a great $10 a month fee with no long term contract, plus tons of machines etc - really put Glasgow gyms to shame in all aspects.
12. - size of people - i felt small in America, both in height and weight. i felt thin due to so many fatties, and short too with all those dudes over 6'. also i saw lots of well built dudes all over, it was clear that lots of guys workout out.

any getbiggers live in Florida ? or europeans that have visited - do you feel the same ? do you disagree ?

here i go again on my tangent but I will ask anyway....Did you have any sex while in the US?

and, again, you didn't have sex with my mom, dad, sister, grandmother, etc

I love this gimmick. Your entire life revolves around America. All that contempt and yet you devote hour after hour of your life to posting on an American forum about American people, athletes, American ideas, American culture and on and on.

There's a word for that it's "obsessed".

Who'd have thunk my comments about Europeans would have bothered you so much? Too easy.

You are an idiot.  Either that or you are comparing India to some ghetto you roamed into.  I have been ALL OVER europe and many other parts of the world and the US has an extremely high standard of living.  The avg homeowner on getbig in the US probably owns a house with 3x the square footage of one of your euro apts/flats.  Massive amt of food, most products are inexpensive, etc, etc......

But Europeans are "cultured". They eat cheese and lift their noses at the inferiors of the world....while their countries go bankrupt, are overrun by Muslim immigrants and their way of life disappears into obscurity. The Scandinavian countries are really the only ones that should be bragging.

With All-You-Can-Eat-For-$9.99!? Surely, you jest. Probably had a slew of Wet-Naps handy.
