Hmm I think it's true England is pretty varied for it's size- America is so much bigger.
Quote:a little turnabout PQ...beyond politics...how do you view Americans....just curious about the, you know, little stuff. The everyday life things.
I suppose the typical view of Americans is that they are rather brash and aggressive, really rich and live on fast food. Also they say 'Honey' when they are having a go at you (maybe not so much the men- the men are homophobic, especially in the south).
Everything is bigger in America because geographically it's so much bigger. Things are more extreme, and there are more weirdo fanatics and girls in high school are really hot.
More seriously, Americans are much more patriotic- and whilst Rodeos and Americana **** freaks me out, I suppose it's not a bad thing. In England lots of people are scared to honour our heritage because of all this political correctness bollocks, I like the way America embraces the minorities but isn't afraid to be patriotic.
However, this said I've never actually been to America.
I would really like to go to America.
All the stuff said above is formulated from such things as The Simpsons, The Fresh Prince, Borat, and Bill Bryson books.
All this is bollocks, but (I think) quite an accurate report of how ignorant British people who have also never been to America see America. After all, in this post I did say 'How do you view the British?' not 'What are the British actually like?'
Oh, and obviously America has a ****-for-brains president. That goes without saying.
Oh! And also- if you drive too far down south to states like texas, then you end up in an ill-sign posted weird forest and get lost. Then you step out of your car and get dragged off by imbreds/a man with a chainsaw/ a man in a scream mask. Every time.
