Two major American faults..
Very bad cars (poor power from huge engines, poor chassis, too heavy, shite interior etc)
Even worse houses (the ones made from wood and plastic that they build in storm-heavy areas of all places)
Nothing wrong with Americans in general. I guess they've probably got the same proportion of tw@s as any random place in Europe..... like Austria for example. ;)
Everyone LOVES Canadians! ITs that Red Mountie Uniform! The good Canadian Beer, Salmon,Flapjacks,Backbacon! Maple syrup!Quote:

BB that's quite a statement! I was in France for 3 weeks last spring and was thinking I would get a dirty look here and there cause they'd see I was American, but on the contrary I didnt get anything like that and everyone I met went out of their way to be courteous and helpful.Quote:

I was getting eyed up like crazy from all the french woman as well, but basically the only thing I knew how to say is "Je ne parle pon France" = "I do not speak French"
Anyways, the morale of the story is I always heard french people were notorious for showing contempt to outsiders, especially US people but I was there for 3 weeks and NEVER got any of it.
