[Closed] Americans

😐

and so **** self obsessed

And yet you expect us to know who Chris and Sara are...

Just saying, like 😉

Have you just killed and eaten them?

Once you start getting a tiny bit annoyed with the upwards inflection at the end of EVERY sentence, it starts to become something you wonder if you could use in a murder defence. 🙂

bit like the Oirish brogue eh?

No, that's just a sort of lubricant.

lol @ clubber

It's like judging the English based solely on two people, say TJ and CFH..... actually when I think about it.....

Ouch, Dave...

Educate them and send Em back! at least give Em half a chance ;O) Lol

¡Dave does have a point. You should see the British from an "any other country in the world" perspective. 😯

As one half of a transatlantic couple, I see the best and worst in both. The mad/fat/ugly people on the Walmart website all have relations in Asda/Tesco etc.

despite their foibles, would your visitors post how annoying someone was on a website after they had visited?

But after a while, that accent...sets your teeth on edge and so ignorant, and so **** self obsessed, and they wanted so much to 'identify' with everything. it's beyond funny. Why is it that everything was so hard? they were such hard work.

Clearly you know different 'merkins to me 🙄

I think you might have missed this bit :

[i]"I was a bit awe struck if I'm honest, they just 'sparkle' y'know? They look soooo healthy, mid brown sun kissed skin, no wrinkles, white teeth, sun bleached blond hair, Amber (yes, really) pretty?"[/i]

Which to be fair to you, only represents about 25% of the original post - so easily done.

Are you surprised ? .........you sound as if you might be.

more than a tad harsh bob.

more than a tad [s]harsh bob[/s] racist emzs.

FIFY

And yet you expect us to know who Chris and Sara are...

Oh you know. Chris....Chris Chris, Chris who knows Sara, Chris. No, not that Chris, the other Chris.

You you mean THAT Christine...... or do you mean Christoper?

Are you surprised ?

Not at all, just surprised that the OP seems to think all Americans are like that, and definitely all Californians.

Not at all surprised that it would be you questioning that comment though

not racist Zokes. "americans" are not a race. could be xenophobic

Christina? Christian? Christ on a bike? I'm confused.

From your beloved Wikipedia TJ

Racism is the belief that the genetic factors that constitute race, ethnicity, or [b]nationality [/b]are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities

Christ on a bike?

That would be serendipitous, given today's religious significance.

In with anger, out with love

Torn faced?

Torn faced?

I thought it might be turn faced.

Either way, I am a big fan of Bob's attack is the best form of attack style.

😀

Hmmm

I for one think it is a first class insult.

Not at all, just surprised that the OP seems to think all Americans are like that, and definitely all Californians.

So if you're not surprised that emsz knows different Americans to you why bother mentioning it then ?

And by the way, the OP makes it abundantly clear that the opinion is based on a personal experience concerning two individuals, any idiot should have been able to work that out - even I managed to.

I think the point concerning Californians is valid though - where else the world would they elect a political leader who's claim to fame is based on a grotesquely steroid sculptured body ?

I think the point concerning Californians is valid though

Was it? I know Californians who are nothing like the stereotype.

they elect a political leader who's claim to fame is based on a grotesquely steroid sculptured body ?

whereas the brits elected someone whose claim to fame was.... err. Nevermind at least he had displayed outstanding ability in, oh what was it? Oh yeah, PR.

What iDave said.

What atlaz said.

Possibly me too.....if I could work out what he is saying.

Me : [i]"I think the point concerning Californians is valid though - where else the world would they elect a political leader who's claim to fame is based on a grotesquely steroid sculptured body ?"[/i]

iDave : [i]"I know Californians who are nothing like the stereotype."[/i]

They're not Mr Universes or wouldn't vote for a former Mr Universe ?

Can't even begin to understand the second point he made .... any clues ?

And by the way, the OP makes it abundantly clear that the opinion is based on a personal experience concerning two individuals,

And had it stayed there, then that would have been fine. However, for whatever reason, she chose to ascribe her "friends'" failings to their nationality and locale. Which is what I'm getting at. One would have thought that was obvious, even to you.

Then you make a crass stereotype about Californians. Could you justify why you think that this forum is the correct place to air your personal prejudices?

not racist Zokes. "americans" are not a race. could be xenophobic

Black is white moment from the usual suspect 🙄

Christ on a bike?

I'd like to see a T'shirt with a 'christ on a bike' design, anybody know where ?

et voila...

I have relatives in california. To generalise, the locals are some of the most hospitable and welcoming people I've come across anywhere. I suppose it could get wearing after a while, all that perkiness. dunno

Remember, next time it could be a child's torn face 😐

ernie, you tried to make a point endorsing stereotypes of Californians based on the first career choice of their elected leader - a career he left behind years ago. I applied the same lame thinking to the UK. Does the election of Cameron 'say' something about the English, or just about the few who voted for him? Leader is a plastic post-**** cock, therefore all English people must be '............'

The comments are clearly about two specific Americans who stayed with her rather than ALL Americans in general FFS sometimes this place is tetchy and just has a go at people for almost nothing. Is STW becoming a sympathy free zone ?

why you think that this forum is the correct place to air your personal prejudices?

Not a crass stereotype about Californians at all. I simply pointed out that Californians stand out to be different to other people, in that they will happily chose a leader who's only claim to fame is the "tough guy" parts he played in fantasy films - based on his muscley body.

Maybe you think that's normal practice and you can give other examples where this happens in the world?

And if STW isn't 'the correct place to air my personal prejudices' then I don't know where is.

Or is it only the personal prejudices of pretentious arrogant self-absorbed endlessly whingeing middle-class IT workers which count ?

Americans are great when they're at home, grating/loud/arrogant when visiting here. I speak from experience of many American friends' trips here. Still love 'em though 🙂

Leader is a plastic post-**** cock, therefore all English people must be '............'

You might actually have a point there.

I'm saying nothing... 🙂

So no different from the individuals of Carmel-by-the-Sea, who elected Clint. Oh and was that Reagan chappy not an actor too?

So they're no different to other yanks then ?

Well I suppose that's possible ...... I just didn't want to stereotype all yanks as the same.

I hope your friends never read this thread.

Like... ooops, wuz that just them?

Jesus wouldn't need to brake as much.
He also prefers a chest cam as those thorns tend to catch the cables.

I's post your advert for free day today, that's very generous of the mods...

He is no longer the elected representative of the UK but just England. Your are right the English voters do seem a bit thick

Sorry to burst your bubble but he's the prime minister of the UK, not England. So more people voted for him in England than in Scotland, but that's true for basically everything that concerns the UK rather than just Scotland.

Oh blimey, You lot. 🙄 Keep your vaginas on, I was generalizing, sorry OK, these two particular people were a bit hard work OK? Better?

Blimey, it's Sunday, chillax.

PMT I think emsz

I think you might have missed this bit

I think you missed my point that they are not all that different to us, rather than the asthetic appeal of the individuals being bitched about by the OP.

I also think you need to get some fresh air - you seem to be spoiling for an internet fight more than usual - which is quite something for you.

I don't know what to do with my vagina now... keep it on, take it off, send it for repair. Confused. Y'all help me out now.

I like American girls.

Based on an extensive survey of err...three in 31 years, they like indie rock, smell lovely like coconut and melon and kiss like they mean it.

bloody foreigners and their accents and attitudes. I hope you sent them back with a proper stern good talking to. *waves finger*

Grim little nation we live in, eh? Bit like a medieval theme park full of snobs and morons.

And the religiously intolerant....

Compared to the US, we're a positive smorgasbord of religious tolerance.

I was talking about one person in particular but using them as the basis for a general stereotype... 😀

That's the bestest thing I've read on here for ages... *swoons*

I still want to know who Chris and Sara are 😉

Chris: Housemate

Sara: GF

I'll have one more try then I'm leaving it. Perhaps this morning, just after they left wasn't the best time to be posting, I was frazzled.

They almost bizarrely conformed to a stereotype of californian young people, ok? They were doing a European tour and complained about everything as if they had been sent to some third world slum. Over the weekend it was "Too hot, Too cold, Foisty!?! (I don't even know what that means!) The mattress on my bed that I let them have for their stay (sara and I had to camp in the lounge) was thin and lumpy. When they found out we were in a relationship, she told me "Lesbians are sooo now." 🙄

They were rude. Yes I was wrong to make a generisation that all Californians are like that. Sorry (again)

There, that's the end.

Lesbians are sooo now

I would say that Californians are fairly unique amongst Americans.

My favourite saying is 'she's got a face like a haunted cave'

I spent a week in LA once and really liked the people I met, but I'm sure they weren't representative. Liked the people I met in Vail, too.

emz - serious question. Have you ever been to America?
