So true. The kids and I are visiting Arizona in October. There are like cactuses (cacti?), scorpions, rattlesnakes and shit. Totally foreign to us in Minnesota.

Watch out for the sarlacc pits if you go hiking. It'll take like 100 years for you to be digested if you fall in one.
 
It's fine to love where you came from, but let's not put other countries down. Quoting Chris Rock, "You're just lucky. All you crazy white people, "I'm American!" All you did was come out of your mother's pussy on American soil. That's it. You think you're better than somebody from France cause you came out of a pussy in Detroit?"
 
I love the fact that the YT comments seem to take issue with the video using the term "America" to describe someone from the US.
 
No, it's the fifth largest city in the U.S. Just like Adelaide is the fifth largest city in Australia.

It seems my sarcasm did not follow through...

Ahh well! I was not serious with that. In summary, unless a city is a capital or cultural center, I wouldn't expect people to know it.
 
And this is way the rest of the world thinks of you as assholes.

Being a relatively isolated superpower with a ton of land and resources means that citizens can live their entire lives not really caring about the rest of the world. It's not right, but America gets the blame for everything and praise for very little.
 
i don't understand the geography accusations. we learn all about europe from ww2 when we went in and saved all of europe from the nazis. likewise in a few years once the curriculum catches up our children will learn all about the middle east once we've gone in and saved all of the middle east from radical islam

Umm. Yes.
 
China and India look at America and see a model for how to be an innovation nation.

Europeans look at America and see the kind of power they once had in the hands of people who overcook pasta and don't know what real cheese is supposed to taste like. Drives them crazy.
 
Pretty much what I expected. I mean even if the U.S. adopted universal health care tomorrow, pulled out of every foreign country, and repealed the second amendment we'd still be the gun-toting Cowboys, the same way the French will always be the smoking smug pricks or the Canadians America's hat. At some point you're just going to be painted with the same brush forever 'cause the color fit at one point.
 
I don't mind if Americans don't know where exactly Slovakia is located in Europe, I don't know where Philadelphia is located either. So what. But Americans should know that Luxembourg exists and don't dismiss the smaller European countries or their languages because of their size. That's disrespectful. But again, I'm pretty sure that most Americans know that Hungary is a country.
Yeah, people tend to forget my country(Portugal) alot just because it's small and they actually consider it part of Spain.
 
I love how salty people get on here when the topic of America come up. lol. So what if the average American knows less about your country than you know about his or hers. We're the best. Do you think Harvard Business School is keeping track of everything the University of Phoenix is up to?

Is this a joke? You just reinforced the stereotype.
 
Yup. Just like how Germans are rigid, humorless, fascists who like to poop on each other and only listen to Rammstein and David Hasselhoff.

Disclaimer: I'm French.

When I heard the French woman, at first I was like "here we go with the French negativity about things that ain't us".

But then I was like "oh no, wait, she's right: we're not negative about other people. We're negative about everything including ourselves!"

In all seriousness though, she's the only one who actually put things into perspective, and she's right that our countries share this sense of superiority.
 
We'll just take the following back if you're not feeling us:

Rock
Rap
Blues
R&B
Techno
House
Electricity
Computers
Videogames
Cars
Planes
Internet
Neogaf
Windows
OS X
Every website ever
Every movie ever
Marvel comics
DC comics
Your favorite TV shows
etc etc etc

I'll take pizza back then. I have muricans in the palm of my hand with just one thing >:D
 
I'd like to know why Americans are so fucking loud when they talk? Whenever I come across one their regular speaking volume is like the shouting volume of everyone else.

Most people here hate Americans and I can totally see why.

Because it's our God-given right to be loud. It's a reminder that we're better than whatever country you're from.
 
They don't but the expats do. Hey, it may not be as funny as Friends Season 17 or the American version of the office/Inbetweeners but we seem to get by.

People in your country are very insecure but I understand since we're so great.

I hope that one day you can stop being jealous of the greatness that is America.

I'm a progressive modern social democratic country homer.

I'm envious of the Scandinavian countries. I wish Canada was more like Sweden.

US is a detriment to us now. I am in favour of increasing our trade with Asia much more then the US. The more detached we can become, the better. Until your country gets it's act together.

You should probably be happy you have the biggest superpower on Earth and largest military in the world right at your boarder basically ensuring you never have to face a single enemy on the homeland

But yeah you right. Murica blows
