Talk to me about USA

[Dokey111]

anyway, I want to know about USA: is there any dualism between North and South? Or is there between East and West?

No dualism, no one cares about the other except the South, they hate everyone outside of themselves.  Awful.  SC is the worst.

yes and avoid the hebros

Italians are the mexicans of Europe.

You can't be more wrong than this.
Hint: where is Sev living?..

[The Italian Lifter]

spain portugal greece italy = third world country i hate because of ppl's mentality. Lazy ass, noisy (especially spanish), relying on european welfare, and portugese is third world and an italian is an arab with a suit.



Compared to german it's night and day. A strong european union to me will be only with france, holland, germany, the rest is shit, a bottomless pit for our money.

a strong EU will never exist: EU is not like USA, there is no unity. Nobody likes nobody and Germany makes the rules.

SC = South Carolina?

[Brixtonbulldog]

SC = South Carolina?

ignore these anti-south comments.  people in the south are far more pleasant to be around than urban areas in any section of the country.  even if they 'look' trashy to outsiders.

one more thing.  find a map.  draw a circle 15 miles around baltimore city and 30 miles around Wash. DC.  don't go within those circles.

i live in maryland but have spent a lot of time in the south.  yes, don't go to DC or baltimore because of crime.  it's also very congested and people are more rude here than many other places (common for big cities in general).

i've spent time in alabama, georgia, florida, mississippi, etc.  people appear more trashy on the surface, more 'redneck' sort of speak.  but i have found these people are mostly more polite than the east coast and even the ones who aren't so nice keep more to themselves.  there are exceptions of course but the differences are enough to be very noticeable to an outsider.

Not sure about SC, but Parker, Johnny Falcon, Vince G & Mr Nobody life in NC. All of them are good people.

Biggest thing is to remember the U.S. is very big and diverse.

In north Carolina it's much different that place such as California.

Everyone here looks like C.J. from Baywatch. Even the dudes. It's really something, paisan.

[Princess L]

agree 100%

people come here and love it because of food, friendly people, history, monuments etc etc
but actually living here is not so fun.

in reality this place is shit

I have a good friend going to Italy to tour for a couple of weeks.  She heard the gypsy pickpockets are really bad everywhere.  Is that true?  She was also told she needs her knees and shoulders covered in a lot of places

Sad. Along with Greece, place has some of the most amazing historical sites in the world.

I disagree.  I find the people and geography of many parts of "the south" very likeable, especially North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.  Very laid back, albeit a bit too slow paced.  Texas considers themselves part of the south, but totally different IMO.  I've found NY'rs to be quite nice as well.  I've never been to Massachusetts, but dealt with them a lot in business and find them quite rude, stubborn and abrasive with a "my shit don't stink and I'm right" attitude.  Chicago and surrounding areas A LOT different than the rest of the state, almost with an elitist, get out of my way attitude, especially the drivers.  Surprisingly, California is pretty decent - aside from some of the immigrant populations taking over.  The Midwest, is known for being honest, straightforward and down to earth with people of traditional values.

There is New York City and than there is everywhere else.

If you live in a nice white middle class area, the U.S is a great place to live. If you live in a white trash, black or Hispanic shithole, it sucks.

there are a lot of gypsy pickpockets near historic places like Colosseo for example.
the only place I can think of where they may ask a woman to cover her knees and shoulders is a church honestly, believe me, an italian will never ask a woman to cover herself

Those seem like naturally beautiful places. Never been there but seen pics. Lots of white people. Maybe stay clear of Utah, it's a beautiful state but has tons of Mormons.

When I was in Italy I was told to never wear my backpack on my back, to keep it in front of me and also to put my wallet in my from pocket.
but we were told that was only when we were doing touristy stuff.

Still the greatest country on earth. People from all over the world want to live here. The only outsiders that want to live in European countries are Muslims.

 The US is where a regular working man can live in a 3000 sq ft house with 4 or 5 bedrooms with three bathrooms and a pool with two new cars in the drive way.

 I live in NJ and any ethic food you want can be found made by people from that that country. Contrary to popular thought where I live in NJ has amazing beaches. We just won't tell you where they are. You have cold weather climates and hot weather climates depending on the state. Every state has it's own flavor. An example of this is Texas. It's hot and full of conservative, Christian Patriots who love America and the military. California is full of liberal fruits and nuts who are in general very friendly. New Jersey is where people are tough but you know where you stand unlike some of the south who will call you sir as they kick you.

 I think too many people from Europe form their opinion of America through our majority liberal news providers.  They spin the news that makes it sound like crime is out of control. I'm nearly 60 and the only thing I had stolen from me was a bike when I went into a store when I was 9.
